We are receiving one of the new Bargara B14 Hunting and Match Rifles (HMR) in 6.5 Creedmoor for testing. Primary use will be for whitetail deer out to several hundred yards. Bargara barrels are praised for their accuracy and the 6.5 Creedmoor is a flat-shooting cartridge rapidly gaining favor among hunters and competitors.

When hunting, an often overlooked detail is the overall comfort of your footwear. As hunters, we don’t mind roughing it and being miserable to find our quarry. But for the sake of your physical well being, a quality set of boots can mean the difference between filling your tag or going home early with an…

Sunjack Portable Solar Charger Review
The Sunjack Portable Solar Charger has found a permanent place in my bug-out bag. Living on the Gulf Coast means always being prepared for a hurricane and it is not uncommon to be without power for days, or even weeks, following a storm. The Sunjack Portable Solar Charger provides a means to harness the power…

I had to wait awhile before the XR version hit the market and the RevealXR FastFrame is their most advanced product. With a MSRP of only $469 how would it stack up against…

All Seasons Feeders Review
We have run many of the popular deer corn feeders and, hands down, we prefer All Seasons Feeders built in San Antonio. Not only do they make an outstanding product but their customer service is top-notch. Their 300lb broadcast feeder is the gold standard by which other feeders are measured.

Superfeet Insoles – Make mediocre shoes awesome!
In the days leading up to SHOT Show 2016 I was making preparations like other attendees. I had been given fair warning that the 4 day event was hard on your feet, knees and ankles as the area to cover is quite large. I decided to purchase some new comfortable walking shoes and went to…

Ford F150 Review
I had been in the market for a new truck for quite some time but it wasn’t until I attended the 2015 Houston Auto Show and sat in the new Ford F150 that the choice became clear. I recently purchased a new Ford F150 Lariat SuperCrew Cab FX4 and couldn’t be happier with my decision.…
