December 31st, 2012Mike Pannone – Rio Salado Stage 2 “Last Blast” 2012 Rifle Match
December 31st, 2012Mike describes what you are watching-
I came out of box A before shooting the steel and had to back up and came off the second to last steel before I broke the shot and had to re-address it but other than that I was happy with the run. That BCM lightweight 16″ mid-length with FSC556, A5 buffer and Geissele S3GE is an awesome speed gun. It’s just downright fast. Almost zero recoil and shot-to-shot and tgt-to-tgt splits are phenomenal.

“The Cave” from HEIMPLANET
December 30th, 2012“The Cave” from UK-based HEIMPLANET is an inflatable shelter.
This 3 person tent does in fact boast a fly but as the frame is inflated and then the shelter itself along with the fly hangs inside the frame, the construction is a little different than what you might be used to.
At 11.9 lbs it isn’t exactly a lightweight tent but the concept is definitely interesting. There are in fact other airframe shelters on the market such as from NEMO Equipment but it’s great to see more companies getting into this business.
