We have just received the 5.11 Professional Polo for review.  It will be included in our Tactical Polo review along with items from Blackhawk! and Woolrich Elite.  At first glance the 5.11 shirt looks really nice, and feels great too.

The updated version of the...

I recently had a customer bring in a Remington Model 58 to get it cleaned in preparation for a pheasant hunt in South Dakota.  The gun was his father’s so it carrys some sentimental value, but one thing it needed was a recoil pad. He needed a pad for several reasons; 1. the length of pull 2. the gun kicks like a mule. Length of pull is something that does more than just make the gun comfortable, it allows the shotgunner to mount the gun...

I have the opportunity to serve this week in the judicial system as a juror. It is a fascinating experience! I will be out of pocket for the rest of the week, but I will answer email as I have opportunity. Have a great week.
