How To Choose The Best Spotlight For Coyote Hunting

May 10, 2018October 5, 2015 by Jared

Although coyotes can be hunted during the day or night, most people prefer hunting these animals when darkness sets. It’s not just the thrill of nighttime hunting that draws folks out when half the world has gone to sleep. Sure, it can be exciting to be out on the range stalking a coyote when the night is young and predators have come out to play. But apart from the fear factor of the night, what’s really interesting, though, is the challenges that nighttime hunting presents.

For instance, you’ll need good night-vision gear to help you see at night since there’s lesser visibility when the sun isn’t shining. Furthermore, you’ll need to know the right coyote hunting calls, when to be still and remain silent (coyotes have fantastic hearing abilities and can pinpoint your exact location if you make the slightest inappropriate sound), and you definitely need a sturdy long range rifle that’s guaranteed to be on target the first time round. You don’t want to cause a huge ruckus by firing off your rifle, have your target run away, and then be left with nothing to hunt since every coyote and nocturnal creature would have gone into hiding by then.

To help you better your odds, here are some tips to help you get the best spotlight for coyote hunting.

Understanding Why a Spotlight Is Important for Coyote Hunting
If you’ve never gone coyote hunting at night, you may not realize how important a good spotlight is for tracking these nocturnal animals. Once the sun goes down, coyotes come out of their dens to hunt, eat, breed, and are less wary of what’s going on around them. When you sneak up on a coyote with a spotlight, their eyes will reflect light from the spotlight and give them away.

Choose Between a 12-Volt or Rechargeable Power Supply Spotlight – Or Use Both
When you’re shopping for a spotlight for coyote hunting, one of the choices you’ll need to make is whether to go for a 12-volt spotlight or rechargeable power supply spotlight. A 12-volt spotlight can be operated from a vehicle using a cigarette plug adapter. On the other hand, a rechargeable power supply spotlight will allow you to carry the spotlight with you, which means that you can use it to hunt on foot.

The type of spotlight you choose is completely up to you and based solely on preference. However, it’s important to note that a 12-volt spotlight makes a great option for large parties. In this situation, you’d be able to use the spotlight from an ATV while other members of the party can search for coyotes by foot.

Coyote Spotlight Must-Haves
Whether you’ve chosen a 12-volt or rechargeable power spotlight, your spotlight needs to come with a few specific features to make it suitable for nighttime hunting. Firstly, you’ll want a light that has a controlled spread to allow you to illuminate areas in detail. Next, you’ll want something that offers flood light options. Flood lights are ideal for scanning wooded areas and fields. But more importantly, with a flood light, a coyote’s eyes will reflect and allow you to quickly locate the pack you’re hunting. Lastly, you’ll want to choose a spotlight that has a dial that allows you to direct the beam. By directing the beam of the spotlight, you can better scout your surroundings. Making sure you correctly identify the animal whose eyes are reflecting in the dark is important – you don’t want to end up bringing home a dead python.

So, take your hunts to the next level when you choose the best spotlight for coyote hunting. By adding the right spotlight to your hunting gear, you’re guaranteed to bag a few coyotes during fur season and any other night of the year. However, before heading out to the woods to hunt these creatures, you need to make sure that coyote hunting is legal in your state.

May 10, 2018June 21, 2015 by Jared

At some point in your life, you’re probably going to encounter a situation where having the perfect compact binoculars on hand could become the greatest asset you have.

By comparing some of the top compact binoculars available on the market, you’ll soon be able to determine which will make the best choice for you.

However, with all that said, the most important thing to consider before making a purchase is still the purpose in which your compact binoculars will serve. Let’s take a closer look!

Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 8 x 22

The Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 8 x 22 is a starting point for anyone researching to buy a compact binoculars. It’s been named the 2014 Best Compact Binocular of the Year and has captured the attention and hearts of sporting enthusiast in a variety of arenas.

This beautiful and highly effective binoculars is perfect for the outdoorsman watching a sporting event from the upper decks, bird watching in the back yard or the rainforest, or scanning Mother Nature.

It weighs 228 grams and measures 11 x 10 cm. The Steiner also provides a thick multi-coated lens coating with a dual hinge design and a 125m FOV with rubber folding eyecups.

Although only offering a 22mm lens, which means it has a slightly smaller objective lens than some of the other brands which we’ll talk about in a while, the Steiner Safari Ultrasharp makes up for the couple of mm difference by providing you with a 10x magnification with an exit pupil of 2.75mm.

This binoculars is the only one of the top four which provides a rubber folding eyecup as opposed to the twist-up eyecups. In addition to the view and lens features, the Steiner comes in the world-renowned Safari body which has proven to be one of the most durable and super-rugged binocular bodies in the world.

With its price ranging between $150 and $200, the Steiner Safari is potentially the best bargain for your budget when looking for quality. The Steiner also consistently gains 4.5 to 5 star ratings from customers who have fallen in love with the clarity, low-light capability, and superior performance of this high quality pair of binoculars.

Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10 x 25

Next to the Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 8 x 22, the second best choice for the outdoorsman is the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10 x 25. With a 25mm objective lens, this beauty has a larger objective lens than the Steiner Safari’s 22mm. The larger shaft, although a small difference, offers you an advantage in poor lighting.

For an indoor concert, this is a solid choice since the larger objective lens will create a brighter image. The Bushnell is also an ideal choice for bird watching in heavy covered woodlands or forests.

Additionally, the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD provides you with a lightweight and rugged magnesium chassis weighing 230g, just two grams more than the Steiner Safari UltraSharp.

The Bushnell, with the eyecups fully extended, measures 5.75”/146mm with a dual hinge design and comes with fully multi-coated lens coatings. However, unlike the Steiner Safari, the Bushnell offers twist-up eyecups and phase correction.

Bushnell does have some disadvantages, though, such as a smaller exit pupil of 2.5mm and a slightly higher price tag over the Steiner. But that said, Bushnell (in spite of its few cons) still provides a solid and reliable choice for the discerning shopper.

Hawke Sapphire ED 8 x 25

The Hawke Sapphire ED 8 x 25, at 231g, not only comes with a slightly heavier weight than the top two choices, it also carries a higher price tag. With prices ranging from $220 to $240, the Hawke may not be the top choice for budget savvy individuals. But for those willing to pay the price, the value matches the tag.

The Hawke brings a 3.1mm exit pupil with twist-up eyecups and a 119m FOV at 1000m. Similar to the Bushnell, the Hawke contains a dual hinge design with a roof prism, phase correction and ED glass.

With a 3.1mm exit pupil and a wider FOV, the Hawke is a better choice over the Steiner Safari UltraSharp for situations such as indoor concerts because of low lighting. The Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass offers a maximum clarity for the user with a BAK4 Prism, fully multi-coated lenses, and a quick ratio focus wheel.

An additional benefit is it comes with the Hawke Worldwide warranty.

Levenhuk Energy PLUS 8 x 25

For the budget conscious consumer who is looking for low-cost yet high quality compact binoculars, the Levenhuk Energy PLUS 8 x 25 is the ideal solution. Carrying a lower price tag that ranges from $65 to $80, the Levenhuk has the same 3.1 mm exit pupil as the Hawke. The difference is that it offers a longer 126m FOV at 1000m but commands a lower price tag than the Hawke.

The Levenhuk Energy offers a dual hinge design with twist-up eyecups and it makes the perfect choice for anyone who enjoys outdoor events such as bird or nature watching.

Although waterproof and fog proof, which is identical to the other three, the Levenhuk does not have phase correction or ED Glass. Additionally, it’s a little heavier than the other compact binoculars since it weighs 369g.

When choosing the best potential compact binoculars, the decision comes down to the purpose in which you’ll be using the binoculars, combined with a budget and your specific needs. By considering the top four choices in today’s compact binocular market, it’s a guarantee that you’ll find one that meets your needs and your budget.

How to Choose the Right Sling For Your Assault Rifle

May 10, 2018May 4, 2015 by Jared

There are so many different types of slings available for your assault rifle, but before you head out to grab one for yourself, you’ll first need to determine what purpose your rifle serves. Since each sling is adapted and better equipped for different uses, your rifle’s purpose will play a major role in determining the sling that makes the most sense for your specific situation.

1. Military and the Multi-Point Sling

If you’re a veteran, a current military service member, or preparing to join the military, then the classic multi-point sling is definitely something you should keep an eye on. Often referred to as the 3-point sling, this is the sling of choice for those in the military because it’s the most secure among all available options.

The 3-point sling loops around the body and remains securely connected even if a connection point fails. This is the primary reason why most members of the military choose the multi-point sling – because it offers reliability in Close Quarters Battle/Close Quarters Combat.

However, just like any other device, there are some drawbacks of the multi-point sling. In this case, the primary drawback is that there are a lot of straps. For example, the rifle has sling points connecting to it while an inner loop secures and goes around the body. The danger with this type of sling, particularly for military members, is that it will sometimes get “hung” on items due to the large number of loops. This can prove dangerous and fatal during combat.

On the other hand, one of the most popular and encouraging features of the multi-point sling is that many models have the ability to be converted into a 2-point sling, which allows for it to stay out of the way if a soldier needs to convert to using a pistol from an the assault rifle.

2. Military and the Single Point Sling

Although the multi-point sling is preferred by most service members, many soldiers and Marines prefer the single point sling because it’s rare that the sling will ever catch on anything or become “hung”. Additionally, it’s fast, cheap, sturdy, and offers one of the most maneuverable set ups you can ever hope to get from a sling.

The single point sling has a single attachment point on the rifle and provides the flexibility of turning or swirling the rifle to any angle, degree, or way desired. This sling provides maneuverability for a soldier to potentially swirl the rifle around and use it as a combat weapon as opposed to a gun.

However, the reason many service members prefer a multi-point sling over the single point is the single point has a tendency to always cause the rifle to be brought back to the front and between the gunman’s legs, regardless of which way the rifle is turned, swirled or swiveled. As a result, it can cause the rifle to become more of a hindrance than an asset, particularly in combat when the soldier needs the rifle to remain on his back or side as opposed to the front.

3. Competitors and the 2-point Sling
For many competitors, the use of a sling is not common and often forgone. However, in a 3-Gun competition where a sling is needed, a two-point sling is often the sling of choice for a variety of reasons.

A 2-point sling such as the VTAC padded sling is simple and presents the individual with an easy tension adjustment set-up. Additionally, one of the preferred features is the push button detach which allows the rifle to be taken on and off easily with little effort. The 2-point is preferred during a competition as it offers a rifleman the ability change out rifles quickly.

With less straps and less inconvenience than the multi-point sling, the two-point sling will stay secured if a transition to a rifle must be made during a competition. During a 3-Gun competition, speed is of paramount importance. So, during a timed heat when it’s necessary to move from target to target while simultaneously transitioning through various weapons, a gunman will not want for his or her rifle to be swung around unsecured.

Although not the preferred choice for most soldiers, the VTAC Original 2-Point Sling has recently become a favorite for the Special Forces such as the Army Green Berets and Navy Seals due to its versatile and quick abilities.

Considering as assault rifles are not the typical rifle of choice in hunting, the rifle sling you’ll use for competitions or military operations should be the same sling you use for target practice. Your choice ultimately comes down to what makes you comfortable, what will allow you the freedom and flexibility to utilize your weapon in the manner you intend to use it, as well as your desired outcome for your experience in shooting, competitions, or military maneuvers.

The box comes with an addition piece to add to the mount to give it a lower 1/3 coziness if that’s your thing. The mount locks in place and is really solid. Comparing the price to an Eotech or Aimpoint, this is an absolute steal.” – Benjamin L. Yang

Selecting the Right Gun Safe

May 10, 2018February 14, 2015 by Jared

If you enjoy firearms as a hobby then it’s absolutely essential that you make sure that you are a responsible owner and that you do everything you can to ensure the safety of yourself and others. A big part of this is choosing the right gun safe which will keep your weapon secure so that it doesn’t get into the wrong hands. This is even more important if you have young children in the house.

Here we will look at how you should go about selecting the right gun safe so that you can be secure in the knowledge that your gun is safely stashed.

Size

The first thing to consider when choosing your gun safe is the size. Obviously guns can come in all shapes and sizes, so it follows that gun safes do as well. If you buy a gun safe without first checking the dimensions then you might find you’re disappointed with the size of the product that arrives at your door.

Of course the right size for a gun safe will depend not only on the size of your firearm but also on the number of guns that you need to keep locked away.

Security

Once you have chosen a safe that’s big enough for your gun, the next crucial thing to check is that the lock is going to be secure enough to keep people out. While a simple lock might be sufficient for keeping out young children, you also need to think about what could happen in the case of a break-in. And remember: those children are going to get bigger! Make sure then that your lock is sophisticated enough to keep out even the savvy and the determined. The most advanced option is probably a biometric lock that will use your fingerprint or a retinal scan to provide access. These are a little more costly though! Other options include digital locks that use a PIN or physical locks that require a key/use a padlock. Some gun safes will combine a combination lock with a key to provide extra security.

Remember that the safe should be constructed of a sturdy material. The toughest lock in the world won’t do much good if it’s on a cardboard box!

Ease of Access

While you want to ensure that your gun is safe and secure, you also don’t want to be fiddling for hours every time you want to get it out. Make sure that the safe is easy to open and not prone to getting jammed. Remember: you generally get what you pay for and this isn’t an area where you want to try and cut corners!

EoTech G33.STS.BLK G33 Switch to Side Mount Magnifier Review (Black Finish)

May 10, 2018August 24, 2014 by Jared

The EoTech BLK G33 with its switch to side magnifier is lighter and shorter than its predecessor, the G23. This magnifier tenders an innovative and enhanced mount, offering a quick transition between 3X and 1X. It also hosts an azimuth tweaking system that is tool-free, a superior field of view, as well as a modifiable diopter for enhanced focus.

Few people can understand its popularity, but the mention of the following features will sure give potential buyers an idea of why the EoTech G33.STS.BLK G33 would be such a great buy.

Features of the EoTech G33.STS.BLK G33 Magnifier

Besides its magnificent black finish, this magnifier has the ability to switch from CQB targeting to medium range targeting in a split second. It offers 2.2 inch eye-relief with elevation and windage alterations which can be easily executed by hand, and a field of view range of 7.3 degrees. The slap to side mount is extremely durable and activates with the simple slap of a hand. It also hosts a locking and quick-detach lever which allows for easy attachment or removal of the mount and optic.

While the EoTech G33 Magnifier may not seem like much, it truly makes a big difference to your overall experience. Not only does it enlarge the size of the EoTech Reticle, but also refines it effectively. On its own, the EoTech Reticle may seem ordinary, but with the addition of the G33 you will have an awesome unit.

Pros and Cons

The magnifier does not add a lot of weight and the switch to side mount function can be performed for long periods on end without causing damage to the unit. With the unit in place, no added fluctuations will be experienced. When it is compared to similar items advertised at a higher price, this little powerhouse with its enhanced optics will outrank them all. Its quick-release system is also very effective as it allows for the instant removal of its sight when necessary.

Of course, there are some negatives to the product. Its short eye-relief feature means that the user will have to lean in very close to achieve the appropriate field of view. Due to this, it puts the user in a less favorable condition in order to achieve the best possible shooting position.

Conclusion

While it has its minor flaws, the magnifier is well-manufactured and extremely sturdy. Those who enjoy high quality options will find this magnifier with its military-grade hardware and exceptional optics to be a must-have accessory.

MAGPUL Gen 2 Front Back Up Sight MBUS Review

May 10, 2018March 10, 2014 by Jared

For true blue shooters, learning how to aim with iron sights is a necessary skill to learn. Red dot sights may be well and good, but sometimes they go up at the most inconvenient times. By learning how to use iron sights, shooters don’t have to spray their bullets all over the place.

The problem with these backup sights is that sometimes they can cost a lot of money. Buying cheap, on the other hand, may result in a low quality product. But with the MAGPUL Gen 2 Front Back Up Sight MBUS, you can actually pay a small price and get huge benefits.

Features

One of the reasons for the low price is that it is made of polymer, albeit it is impact resistant. Flipping up the sight is easy enough by pressing the top or activating from the side. The spring tension also locks it down, but with enough give upon impact. The protective wings offer additional protection.

The MAGPUL Gen 2 Front Back Up Sight MBUS is compatible with most MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny/STANAG 4694 railed hand guards. It also offers same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons.

The elevation adjustment tool is part of the purchase normally, but shooters can use just about any aftermarket A2 front sight adjustment tool.

Pros and Cons

The MAGPUL Gen 2 Front Back Up Sight MBUS comes with a very reasonable—in fact, a very affordable—price tag, yet somehow it also comes in a very high quality. The polymer may not be technically “iron”, but it’s virtually as tough and it’s lighter as well. It will last for quite a while.

This sight is very easy to mount, and zeroing it doesn’t take a lot of time and effort. The spring tension is great too. Snapping up the sight is quick and firm, but it offers enough give when it hits something. The accuracy is also undeniable, and it offers quite a relief if a shooter’s red dot battery dies at an inopportune time.

But of course it’s not absolutely perfect. For one, it can’t be mounted to a railed gas block because of the heat. It also has to be mounted to a railed fore end that’s on the same plane as the receiver rail. For this reason, this Magpul front sight won’t work with MOE hand guards.

Conclusion

The MAGPUL Gen 2 Front Back Up Sight MBUS is a piece of compelling evidence that superior quality doesn’t have to be expensive at all.
