Morgan Rogue   05.12.22 I love a pen that also functions as a rescue device. I’ve actually been looking for a new tactical pen that can double as a rescue device, something that’s always on my person and can be deployed easily should I need to use it in an emergency to break a window or…even for

Nicolas Lenze   05.11.22 I know a few people who like to carry 1911s. In fact, there have been so many of them throughout the last 111 years that the platform continues to thrive. Some things are changing, however. One major trend is 1911 pistols trading in the hard thump of the .45 ACP for the explosive

Morgan Rogue   05.09.22 I’m a bit obsessed with backpacks. I’m always looking for a new backpack. Why? I don’t know. I’m insane? There are always so many cool new backpacks to try and I want to try them all! When it comes to 5.11, I’ve always been a fan, but I was never into their backpacks

Luke Cuenco   05.09.22 Aftermarket Bolt Knobs are nothing new and as far back as I can remember, hunters and marksmen alike have gone to great lengths to modify their rifle’s standard bolt knob in order to get a better fit or better performance out of them and their rifle. However, most of these modifications usually require

Nicolas Lenze   05.06.22 Anyone who enjoys outdoor activities that require carrying heavy gear knows that you want the weight on your hips. A sturdy belt is the key to this, as it will be in charge of carrying most of the weight. This is also true for EDC gear like defensive handguns and spare magazines. Tubular

Morgan Rogue   05.06.22 I’m always looking for a durable boot because we do a lot of hiking, walking, and general movement at the range so I’m honestly not interested in the cheaper shoes because they explode within a week of using them. I will gladly spend more money on a boot that is going to not

Morgan Rogue   05.06.22 I can remember first hearing about the Grayl water purification bottles and how excited I was for this new system on the market. When it comes to water purification, I’m always looking for the absolute best options and I hoard them like I’m hiding Halloween candy from my kids. Having kids, I’m always

Luke Cuenco   05.05.22 Joining the expanding list of electronic shooting products offered by ATN Corp are the new X-Sound electronic earmuffs. These new shooting earmuffs sport a 22 dB noise reduction rating, Bluetooth features for listening to music or making phone calls, and a long battery life from its two AAA batteries. This should bring yet

Nicolas Lenze   05.03.22 Between the lockdowns of the past and living through the winter months of a snowy state, I’ve found a lot of reasons to skip the gym. With all of the new life that spring brings us, it’s time to bring some new life to my muscles. If you’re like me, some new workout

Rusty S.   05.03.22 In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews Ricardo, Project Manager and Engineer for Beretta, about the new BRX-1. The BRX-1 is a new straight-pull rifle designed to incredibly high standards in Italy by Beretta. The BRX-1 has been in production in Europe since late 2021, but because demand has far outstripped the

Morgan Rogue   05.02.22 I used to be one of those people that said “leggings aren’t pants” but that was only because leggings used to really suck. I mean, every single legging on the market had zero pockets and they were just uncomfortable. These days? More and more companies are realizing that women want pockets, even on

Luke Cuenco   04.28.22 The hunting season has probably been pretty rough on your blade. Everything from trimming small limbs off that is in your way to peeling open that blister-packed optic you just bought for your turkey gun will take a toll on your favorite blade. If you think it’s time to pick up a new

Derrek Sigler   04.29.22 Now that we’re in the home stretch into summer activities, I don’t know about you, but the last place I want to be is inside my house. In fact, I pledged to my family that we’d spend much more time in the Great Outdoors this summer. It’s time to gear up and get

Luke Cuenco   04.29.22 Laser rangefinding is entering its 25th year of maturity within the commercial market. What this has meant for hunters, shooters, and even disc golfers is allowing them to make rapid, accurate, and consistent measurements from themselves to their intended target with confidence. Each year the technology continues to evolve and grow and for

Luke Cuenco   04.28.22 Hikers, hunters, birdwatchers, and those that enjoy the great outdoors could always use a good pair of binoculars for sighting any point of interest. The problem with binoculars though is that magnification usually comes at a price. This usually means a combination of size and weight but that doesn’t always have to be

Morgan Rogue   04.25.22 When you think about everything going on in the world, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared for lights out, the everyday craziness of life as well as general emergencies and disasters. It seems like so many things are out of our control, but by being prepared we can take control again and know
