Match Accuracy + Hunting Ballistics? Sierra’s New GameChanger Bullets Deliver the Goods (and the Bacon)

{ 0 comments }

Accuracy is crucial in a self-defense situation, of course, but the odds are small that you’ll ever need a firearm for self-defense. Hunting, on the other hand, combines the frequency of competition with the ethical import of life and death.

Cold Feet in the Field? The Solution: ActionHeat Heated Insoles

{ 3 comments }

I am able to adjust the heat with a remote fob, which allows me to cater to the situation at hand. There were days while I was out deer hunting off of horseback in sub-zero weather, where I had them turned to max power in order to keep my feet warm in the stirrups, and then turned them off when I transitioned from riding to walking in order to keep my feet comfortable.

Your relatives might not know the difference between wet and dry tumbling, or the benefits of a carbide sizer die, but that doesn’t mean you should leave reloading supplies off your list to Santa. Now, I can’t help you explain to your grandma how an overall length gauge works, but I can tell you what I’m asking for this year, so at least we can confuse our relatives together.

Fix-It-Sticks: The tools you didn’t know you needed

{ 1 comment }

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.

Kestrel 5700 Ballistic Weather Meter With Hornady 4DOF: Full Review

Kestrel 5700 Ballistic Weather Meter With Hornady 4DOF: Full Review

{ 0 comments }

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.
