For this review, I have chosen some gear that is better than shoving two 9mm cartridges into your ears but not quite the investment of electronic plugs or muffs. With that, here are my top five nonelectronic hearing protectors.

Two things are certain in life: the changing of the seasons and hunters being out there when it’s happening. We can anticipate, prepare, and come out on top or get turned back to the truck early, defeated.  Use these 7 tips to stay one step ahead of Mother Nature and her varying moods this year:

My holster came with a retention strap, though a full cover flap is also an option if you’re really worried about protecting the pistol from the elements.

If you just purchased your SIG P365 you need to do two things: get a comfortable holster and a few 12-round extended magazines. Both are life-changing.
