Gear Court: Vertx pants and polo — hot the way it counts, not the way they feel

When it comes to shooting gear, finding a good pair of pants has always been a challenge for me.  Up until the 2011 SHOT Show, I had been wearing 5.11 Women’s Pants.  While at SHOT Show this year, I discovered a brand of tactical clothing that is unlike any other brand of tactical clothing on […]

Gear Court: Range bag vs. backpack … you be the judge

One of the biggest struggles I have with my current range bag is the single shoulder strap and how much weight it puts on my shoulder when I load it up with guns and gear.
