Gear Reviews

The idea behind the pattern Badlands Packs has been a fun company to follow. They have really done some great things with a lot of their designs, and are coming up with innovative concepts to their line of hunting gear on a regular basis. Take for example their 2200 pack. That is a pack that really changed the way people think about a...

Today, I wanted to cover some of the features of the TightSpot quivers because we have had a lot of customers wondering about some of the features/designs, and whether it's worth the extra investment. That's definitely a valid question, and hopefully this info can help answer some of those. Tight & Modular Fit One of the main things that TightSpot wanted to do in their design is manufacture a quiver that sits tight to your bow.

With such a wide selection these days you can be pretty picky on what features are most important. Do you go for new technology like the Badlands Magnetic closure system, keep it simple and...

There are so many different brands of stabilizers out there in the market today, so what makes Stokerized so different? For starters the company is 100% Made in the USA with its facility based in Annville, PA, not only is it made here on our shores but every single stabilizer is hand-made and looked over multiple time for quality and...

Havalon has taken the hunting and more specifically the hunting knife world by storm, and over the last few years their surgically sharp removable razor blades have quartered likely thousands of elk, deer, and other game. As there have been more users of the original Piranta Edge, Havalon has taken hunter's feedback and recently made a couple of changes to...

I remember when my friend and hunting buddy first introduced me to the Havalon knife, my first exposure to a removable blade knife for skinning and field dressing game. It blew my mind, and aside from the razor sharp blade that scared me to death at first thought of changing out blades, I was sold! With time and a bit...

With archery season just around the corner, we wanted to do a review on a new product we are carrying, the CamBow bowhunting sling by Alpine Innovations. Bow slings, just another hunting gimmick that I hate! But sadly, I have always been looking for one that will actually work. The ultimate bow sling has been harder to find than my...
