B105 Kydex Belly Band Review

Falco Holster's Belly Band with Kydex Reinforcement When it comes to concealed carrying in the summer, I absolutely love belly bands for their breathability, slim fit, and adaptability when it comes to carrying positions.

APA Archery Mamba 33MT Review

This spring I had the opportunity to test the 2020 APA Mamba 33 MT. As a die-hard bow hunter, I thought it fitting to test the Mamba not only at the range but also on a 3-week spring bear hunt. I figured that some real-world testing would give bow hunters some insight into not only…

Crossbow Report: Excalibur Twinstrike

Back in 2008, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Mr. Bill Troubridge, who, at the time, was the founder and CEO of Excalibur Crossbows.

Zeiss Conquest V4

Earlier this year my friends at Zeiss sent me the Zeiss Conquest V4, 4-16 X 50 Rifle Scope to put through its paces. Early on I decided that reviewing a scope from a bench under controlled conditions is great, however as a hunter a bench review doesn’t necessarily give you the whole picture, so I…
