I love carbon fiber tripods. But usually they cost more than im willing to spend.

The kopflager is a reasonable price with great features. The included reaper grip is the type of item usually sold separate from tripods so including it makes this an even better value.

Lightweight tripod with plenty of adjustment and able to support almost any firearm setup you want to use with a tripod.

This is a great investment for anyone looking to start shooting from a tripod

Trijicon may not have intended for this to be the OG of pistol dots but it is and still going strong.

Robust housing, reliable click adjustments, good variety of dot sizes.

RMR footprint is the most common optic cut and this is a great optic for your pistol or rifle with plenty of mounting options.

If you are looking to invest in a quality optic that you can rely on, this is still one of the best choices.

The glass quality on the accupoint scopes makes them a worthwhile investment.

They are built well, have reliable turrets, and have good reticle options.

The fiber optic illumination isn't as configurable as electronic illumination but the shutter helps on bright days and even on low light days it still glows noticeably.

I do wish Trijicon offered more modern reticles with finer widths.

Vortex hits the value point yet again.

These are a great deal. High quality glass combined with a powerful rangefinder to give you accurate distances on identifiable targets.

Very useful whether you are hunting or precision target shooting.

Usually I don't like combo products but once again, Vortex managed to beat the odds.

I wanted a bluetooth compatible ear pro to use on the range when I'm practicing/training alone.

I like being able to pre-record various range commands and strings of fire then play them to dictate my target engagement. It is also nice to listen to music when you are setting up/breaking down the range.

But you should always retain the ability to hear what is going on around you. I also wanted ear plugs because I dislike using over the ear muffs with rifles and shotguns.

So the Caliber BT seemed to fit that role for me. I ended up finding out several other activities where I like to use them also.

They are great at the gym and while riding my motorcycle. They stay securely but comfortably in my ear thanks to the wide assortment of tips included (make sure to roll and compress the foam before inserting into your ear) and they allow me to listen to music with great quality while still being attuned to the ambient noises of the environment. It is helpful to be able to hear other people in the gym and it is crucial to be able to hear others on the road.

The charge on the plugs and the case lasts for a reasonable amount of time. Easy to use but you do need to make sure the plugs seated properly in the case before closing or they wont charge. The plugs fit comfortably in my ear and dont move, even when removing my helmet.

It is always surprising to me the variety of noise that electronic ear pro will filter out because it is in the "Harmful" range. Crazy to think how often we e

This is a great knife at a steal of a price.

The damascus blade is a gorgeous pattern, they kind of style that you typically only see on custom knives.

The action is super smooth, in large part due to the unique lock mechanism.

The blade is securely held in the handle but flicks open with ease whether you use the thumb studs or lease the lock tension.

The lock bar is easy to engage and smartly keeps your fingers out of he path of the closing blade. While it does protrude from the spine at all times, it doesnt interfere with the grip or create a hot spot.

Really impressed with the design and quality of this knife for the price

This stuff is the real deal.

Hydrates and strengthens your skin without leaving it oily or slick.

I keep some of the 2oz in the gym bag, range bag, and the car. I keep the big guy in the house and refill as needed.

Warning: Your wife or girlfriend may like it and start using it more than her vast array of lotions (at least in my experience).

Must have if you use your hands a lot (aka 99% of people).

Great beard balm with a wonderful scent. Citrus without being sweet. I prefer this one to the bourbon scent as it is a little more neutral so it doesn't clash with whatever cologne you might wear.

A little bit goes a long way. Rub it between your hands to loosen it up and then just run your fingers through your beard. Hydrates the hair with oil and provides just a touch of hold to help shape.

I prefer to use the balm rather than the oil especially after washing my beard.

Dry lips suck, especially in the winter. So I started using chapstick regularly. But i would go through the average tube quickly, they were expensive, and i would have to reapply constantly.

Duke Cannon Lip Balm is the best I have ever used. The tube lasts much longer and each application lasts significantly longer.

I can apply this before i go to sleep and my lips arent dry in the morning. That also helps reduce dry mouth if you breath through your mouth when you sleep. I cannot explain how beneficial that is to your sleep and health.

I used this product maybe 3 times a day vs the 6-8 times i would be applying burts bees.

The mint smell is refreshing and revitalizing. I keep a tube in the car, in my gym bag, and at home.

This stuff is the best.

I really like using a solid shampoo product over a liquid one. It takes up less space in the shower as well as in the storage cabinet, easier to travel with, and you definitely use less per each use while still getting the job done.

The mint smell is a fresh and clean scent without being overpowering. This shampoo combined with the Duke Cannon Productivity soap are staples in my house. While i like to try other scents, this one is my old faithful and also the one i stock in the guest bathroom. Zero complaints, only compliments.

Love that I can simplify my shower routine without sacrificing any quality.

Also the tins are re-usable for so many things.
