This hunt was going to be from the Land Cruiser since there was no cover to even consider a stalk and the springbok was covering hundreds of yards each time we tried to get near it. After what seemed like an hour, Dolf decided it was time for me to use some of that ammunition.

When hunting in the western states, the terrain is vast, open and hard to reach. Because of this, optics are an extremely important asset. To be more specific, good optics are important. In order to see bighorn sheep up in the deepest cirques behind the highest peaks, or mule deer feeding out of the dark timber across the canyon, a hunter needs an optic that will provide superior edge to edge clarity, light transmission and resolution to help them claim success in the field. This is where the Leupold SX-5 Santiam HD came into play!

For under $100, a muzzle brake is a terrific way to help you become a better shooter, and it’s an easy gift for the shooter in your life.

Despite some wind noise issues, Champion’s Vanquish Pro Elite is a great option if you’re looking to step up your ear pro game. The acoustic foam and sound suppression keep your ears comfortable all day, the speakers and microphones provide clear feedback about your surroundings, and the 6x amplification is handy in the tree stand.

An African safari is just about every hunter’s dream – the ultimate hunting experience. A chance to see and chase game we’ve only seen on TV, online, or in a zoo may seem out of reach or above the average hunter’s paygrade. I recently found out that was not actually the case.

There are a ton of different holster materials to choose from ranging from leather to Kydex to hybrids to nylon. What do you need to know before investing anywhere from twenty bucks to a couple of hundred dollars into what amounts to belt real estate for your handgun? Turns out there’s more than you might think to choosing a holster.

The PRO32-MIL/s only weighs 4.6 lbs, is 55.4 inches tall and collapses down to 23.7″ in length. Each leg is detachable and constructed of 10 layers of carbon fiber which stacks up to 1.2mm thick and a total leg diameter of 32mm. The weight limit is advertised as being a whopping 115 pounds, but I’ve seen it hold twice that!

New for 2020, KelTec has released yet another innovative and cool firearm: the Sub 2000 CQB (Carbine Quiet Barrel). This new beauty from KelTec is an integrally suppressed PCC carbine. It will be available in 9mm and 40 S&W.

The Fastrax PAC holds a variety of pistols in an internal holster. To access the pistol, you simply rip the zippered pouch open and pull the activation cord with your non-dominant hand. This action stands the pistol up in the Fastrax PAC, allowing you to draw vertically, free of obstruction, to address the threat.
