Iron Sights vs. Scope vs. Red Dot: What Wins at Speed
If speed is the only metric you care about, the honest answer is that it depends on distance, light, and the shot you have to make.

Water that sits dead still will push birds beyond shotgun range, while a spread with ripples, swimmers, and spinning wings reads as a feeding, resting flock. The...

The Arizona sun does not negotiate. By mid-morning at ParaBellum Shooting and Tactical Training Academy, the range was already pushing into the 90s, the mirage was already starting to run hard across the lanes, and the big rattlesnake sculpture that marks the firing line was catching the morning ...
Leica PRS 5-30x56i Goes Flat Dark Earth
Six years ago I tested the original Leica PRS 5-30x56i on a Ruger Precision Rifle, and I concluded that it had a clear, crisp image, a mechanical feel and turrets that were a pleasure to use. Nowhere in that review did I say, "it would be better in tan." Yet here we are, with the ...
