Shooters who want to hit a point-of-impact (POI) based on point-of-aim (POA) align the muzzle with the target—that is getting the barrel’s axis, sights/optic, and trajectory to the same place at the same time—can apply eight pro tips geared to optimize their alignment. Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) It’s work enough to find rapid alignment from the holster or in recoil recovery, the last thing you need is to wrestle with your own anatomy. Your body, when fighting to maintain alignment, introduces structural (tendon and muscular) tension which can move the muzzle inducing vertical or lateral misses. NPOA for a…

A storied cycling and running brand is apparently closing down after 4 decades. This week, retailers received a letter from GOREWEAR’s parent company announcing its intention to shut down the brand. In the letter, GOREWEAR claims that economic hardships are the reason for the closure, despite “careful consideration and in-depth analysis of long-term prospects.” This letter is reportedly signed by Michael Hullik, managing director for W.L. Gore & Associates. German media outlet Velobiz.de first…

The two things you need to know about me are that I generally like to hike and camp alone and that I like to hit the trailhead before sunrise. To catch those early morning adventures over the years, I’ve had to sleep in my vehicle, and it’s never been optimal. To date, I can confirm that it is uncomfortable to sleep in a VW Jetta, Toyota Tacoma, and Toyota 4Runner. I’m sure you can add to the list of vehicles that, no matter how creative you get, you’ll never get a good night’s sleep in. And it only gets worse…

Les George’s partnership with KA-BAR continues to bear fixed blade fruit – this time in a more unconventional form. The new George Roscoe is a compact and quirky little EDC fixed blade that prioritizes ergonomics with some unusual design choices. Despite his recent work in the fixed blade field, we always associate George with folders – particularly folders of the “tiny tank” variety; perhaps that’s because his early production work with Zero Tolerance fell into this category. The Roscoe, although it contains no moving parts whatsoever, has some of that same “small but tough” philosophy that made those George collabs…

Multitools always make their presence known in my pocket, reminding me that they are in there. While something like the mid-sized Leatherman Skeletool CX doesn’t take up too much real estate, I am constantly aware of it. That’s fine when I’m working around the yard, but when I’m walking around the city, I want something that completely disappears in my pocket. Victorinox’s Mini Champ changed my mind about the usefulness of tiny “keychain” tools. Measuring just 2.3 inches long and weighing 1.6 ounces, it’s not going to feather wood for the campfire on your camping trip, nor is it likely…

Why not make your car camping trip luxurious? For a backpacker like me, squeezing into a small space was just part of the deal when it came to camping. But growing your family can also mean growing your expectations for what adventure looks like. Spreading out and taking space is necessary for us these days, and the Big Agnes Bunk House 4 makes it easy.  Midwest camping can range from extreme heat to unpredictable storms to freezing cold — or sometimes all three in quick succession. Having gear that can withstand the test and provide a space for everyone to…

Waterproof footwear has been around since the mid-19th century. Breathable, lightweight, waterproof footwear? Well, that’s another story. When GORE-TEX Brand first entered the boot scene in the 1980s, the brand’s waterproof technology was a massive leap forward from the wellies and gumboots of the day. Finally, boots made with GORE-TEX Technology offered a breathable option for keeping feet dry outdoors. The GORE-TEX Membrane changed the game for hiking, snow travel, and other heavy-duty outdoor activities. But adventurers for adventurers in need of more nimble footwear, waterproof meant compromise — protection at the expense of performance. That is, until GORE-TEX Brand…

Luxury fashion brands dipping into the world of outdoor sports is nothing new. Most of the time, they come in the form of collaborations between an endemic brand. It’s usually a surfboard maker and a luxury brand, or a snowboard brand and a world-class designer label. The list goes on. The gimmick in those cases really just amounts to an exclusive luxury name slapping its logo on a board you might hang on…
