Mission First Tactical Introduces the NEMO Rapid Assault Team Strap for the Battlelink™ Minimalist Stock
Mission First Tactical, LLC (MFT™), developer of select rifle/carbine accessories specifically for the military, law enforcement and civilian sport shooting markets, has created a unique strap specific to their recently released Battlelink™ Minimalist Stock: the NEMO Rapid Assault Team Strap (NRAT). The concept for the 8-feet of braided Paracord was produced for MFT by NEMO Arms, Inc., a Montana based weapon systems integrator comprised of former Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, CIA, FBI and Pentagon officials. The Paracord strap adds a minimal 0.50 ounce to the overall weight of the ultimate in lightweight stocks, the Battlelink™ Minimalist Stock. Total combined weight of stock and strap, is just over 6 ounces.
The NRAT strap benefits all shooters accustomed to “feel” of a full-width stock without compromising on function or weight. It is especially a benefit to ambidextrous shooters. The NRAT strap does not interfere with the use of any QD mounts…

This is another one of those touchy subjects with many. It often turns into “I can shoot farther than you” conversation that turns to arguments at times. Even worse when you start throwing in the talk about animal distances!
This is what it comes down to and it is as simple as this. Your maximum effective shooting distance is that distance in which you are comfortable and can consistently put your arrows in a group one after another repeatedly. For some this is 40 yards and for others it may be 90. Keep in mind this is not shooting at live targets during hunting conditions per say!!
“So what do you need to do to increase your maximum effective range?” It all comes down to one word…….PRACTICE! And then more practice, practice, and practice! Try not to use an excuse that it is too hot or…

Looks like a great marinade to try!
February 19, 2013
I’ve been using this marinade for a while now and it is KILLER. Some friends from the island of Molokai shared it with me. They use it a lot on their axis deer steaks for the grill. If any of you have ever had the opportunity to eat axis deer meat you know what a treat that can be. I’ve had all sorts of game meat and that is far and away the best game meat in my opinion. No need to try and hide any gamey off flavors, it’s just good meat. However, when combined with this marinade, it is simply delishhhhh!
This marinade will cover 4-5 pounds of steaks.
1 cup Shoyu (soy sauce) 1 cup olive oil 1 bulb garlic 1 handful of rosemary leaves (no stems) 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/2 Tbspn black pepper Combine ingredients, soak steaks 6 hrs, and grill.
A trained retriever needs two very important skills: to be steady and to honor another working dog. These two skills are almost as important as a nice retrieve. They are not only important for hunt tests, but they are also important skills for a hunting dog to master.
In yesterday’s post, I showed Freighter training “honor“.
“Honor” is where the dog waits in a specified area while marks are thrown for another dog. The “honor” dog must not enter the field or interfere with the working dog. It can be difficult for the honor dog to just sit and watch, but sit there he must.
A dog is considered “steady” when it can sit quietly at heel until its handler releases it to retrieve.
I took a few pictures of Saturday’s training with my old camera. It was snowing quite hard, so I did not want to chance…

For everyone going on a long camping trip that just can’t leave their phone at home (or any other electronic device for that matter)
Ever hear of thermoelectric power? That’s OK, you don’t have to know how it actually works to use it. You just need a way to turn heat into energy and that’s exactly what the PowerPot does: boiling water in this special receptacle will actually charge up your phone, tablet or any other USB-powered handheld device.
The $149 PowerPot works with any heat source, so you don’t need a special stove: Electric (although that would be silly, no?), gas or a plain old fire will do the trick because you’re just boiling water. The bottom of the PowerPot transforms heat energy into electrical power. A plug-in cord attached to the pot funnels that energy through a USB 2.0 cord and regulator:
I could have used a PowerPot a few months back when Hurricane Sandy hit the area. We lost power for nearly five days even though the cellular networks were still up and running nearby.

Everyone wants to show off their trophy from their hunting adventures. Here are a few tips from the guys at PSE on how to get a great photo

Nothing is more exciting than taking an animal with your bow. All of the time that you have put into scouting, preparing, and finally taking that shot has finally paid off. After all of the celebration of recovering your animal has taken place, the next step that most anyone will want to do is take a picture to remember the hunt. Something that I like to take into account is showing respect to that animal. Now I am not saying that the way I take pictures is the way that you should take your pictures, because trust me I still need some work in this area, but there are some tips that will help you capture a good trophy picture.
First of all, do your best to remove any blood from the animal. If you are near water it makes it pretty easy to clean up…
