Mail Call Mondays Season 3 #11 – Strong Hand Position, NXS BEAST, Gen 4 G17 Overview
Nightforce B.E.A.S.T.
We just took delivery of a brand new Nightforce B.E.A.S.T. 5-25x56mm F 1 rifle scope. We asked for Mil turrets and H-59 reticle since the “Mil-R” reticle is still a few weeks out. This scope truly is a “beast”. Ours came with the standard Nightforce bikini style scope cover and a set of Nightforce flip up caps. Nightforce was also kind enough to send out a Unimount. Once we get it mounted up and twist the turrets we will get a review out to you!

Condor Summit Zero Lightweight Softshell Jacket Review
I love Soft Shell Jackets. I have been using the Condor Outdoor Summit Zero Soft Shell for almost a year now. It has worked well in a range of climates all over the US.
The Summit Zero is the latest in Condor’s jacket lineup. It is constructed of a four way elastic stretch material with a polyurethane membrane. This material gives you great wind blocking and water resistant properties while still allowing a wide range of motion. This is very beneficial for weapons manipulation or dynamic movement.

Challenge Targets Stake-N-Shoot 8″ Popper Review
I love steel targets. If you have read our blog or reviews for any amount of time, this should be apparent. When shooting steel close up with a handgun or carbine you get instant, gratifying feedback of the shot. There is no need to paste any shot holes between shooters and you don’t even have to paint them if you don’t want to. Long range rifle shooters benefit in a visual cue when the bullet splashes on the target face. This can be seen a much greater distances than a small shot hole in cardboard. If the shooter is unable to spot the impact of the bullet, they can generally hear the ring of the plate roll back from downrange.
This week we look at the Stake-N-Shoot 8″ Popper target from Challenge Targets. I came across the Stake-N-Shoot targets while browsing the MidwayUSA website. I contacted Challenge Targets and they were happy to send over one of their 8″ Stake-N-Shoot Poppers for us to review. The Stake-N-Shoot Popper is similar to other poppers on the market in that they are 3/8″ AR500 steel. The Challenge Targets are laser cut and have very clean edges. The 8″ Stake-N-Shoot popper is 20″ tall and 8″ wide. This size makes it a very versatile precision rifle target for 100-800 yard use. Continue reading Challenge Targets Stake-N-Shoot 8″ Popper Review
Woody’s Precision Rifle Series Match 2014
Bright and early Friday morning I found myself loading gear into a rented minivan with two other shooters, heading east for North Carolina and Woody’s Precision Rifle Series Match at Woody’s Rifle and Hunting Club in New Hill, NC.
Woody’s is well known for their Designated Marksman team matches. 2014 was the first year for the Precision Rifle format. This match was an individual effort match and qualified for points in the Precision Rifle Series. Continue reading Woody’s Precision Rifle Series Match 2014
TAB Gear Silent Ammo Carrier (S.A.C.) Review
Over the years I have used several different methods to carry ammo in the field. In the Marines we carried the issued cardboard cartons. Those were prone to being smashed and disintegrated when wet. During matches I carried the plastic ammo boxes used to store my reloads. These were cumbersome, heavy and the boxes are easily broken by impact. None of the methods of packing really added functionality to the shooting process. For this reason I was extremely excited when I saw the TAB Gear S.A.C. (Silent Ammo Carrier). Continue reading TAB Gear Silent Ammo Carrier (S.A.C.) Review
5.11 Thumb Drive Holster
I just took delivery of a brand new Glock 17 Gen 4. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a holster to fit. Not being a patient lad, I dropped into our local “cop shop” to see what was hanging on the wall. Weaving my way by the bargain table, a holster caught my eye. Continue reading 5.11 Thumb Drive Holster
