Gear Reviews

Some purchases can be really hard to justify until you’ve actually used the product, Fix-It-Sticks is one of those. While at first glance it looks like an ordinary tool kit, albeit a relatively expensive one, it helps to look at it from the standpoint of a cost/benefit analysis.

If you are preparing for a competition or just plinking with your kids, you need targets or you are just converting money into noise. Some ranges provide everything, others just provide stands. Your training or fun can hinge on your targets.

The FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro delivers ultra long range thermal detection and comes loaded with new features.

The Kestrel 5700 with 4DOF (for short), is compact and robust. These traits are necessary for a unit designed for long range shooters because many applications including hunting, military and competitive uses put the ultimate strain on equipment due to harsh environmental conditions, rough handling and long hours of use. This weather meter is drop tested, waterproof and dust-proof, which I have verified through my months of use while I’ve had it.

When it comes to Battle Belts, War Belts, Range Belts or whatever name you want to put on them, there are a lot of options.One of the best offerings I’ve had the opportunity to put in time with has been the Snake Eater Tactical (S.E.T.) War Belt (3 Part System).

The Garmin Xero S1: think of it as your magic wand for learning exactly what’s happening every time you miss a clay bird. It’s like Doppler radar for shotguns.

The costs and wait times for the installation of red dot sights has kept many shooters stuck with iron sights. Brimstone Gunsmithing wants to help.

I’ve used a lot of different methods but the best way that I’ve found so far is the Rifle Mounted Data Holder from Hawk Hill Custom. It’s actually a quite simple description of an incredibly engineered product.

The Vortex Fury HD 5000 is a compact unit that offers a crisp, clear view for spotting and evaluating game or targets and a powerful, fast rangefinder to determine a precise range to those targets. Two fantastic tools in one small package.
