QUICK HITS 👇

Ruger & Dead Air’s RXD: Stealth Mode, No Excuses
Ruger and Dead Air teamed up for the RXD silencer line, and it’s not just a logo swap. These titanium beasts—smallbore and .30-caliber—cut recoil and noise like a pro. Perfect for hunters who want stealth without the weight. Think your rig can handle it?

Daniel Defense: Where Overkill Meets Your Next Hunt
Daniel Defense is obsessed with precision—barrels forged like they’re crafting Excalibur, builds tighter than your wallet on hunting season. American-made rifles for guys who want reliability, no excuses. Think you’d roll with one?

🔫 PRO TIP

When turkey hunting, set up 100 yards from the roost—close enough to hear their drama, far enough they won’t spot you. Use a slate call for soft yelps; those gobblers can’t resist a flirty whisper. Don’t be the guy they ghost!
