The function of a flashlight is to see better. But for a flashlight to function better, it pays to listen. That was the Fenix goal in setting out to elevate an already robust lineup of flashlights and headlamps: Hear out the user. Listen to feedback, learn what matters, and apply design decisions based on daily field use to deliver on real-world demands. The result is the RENEGADE line, built specifically to meet a collective U.S. customer base asking for simpler, more compact, and higher-performing lights. The line is highlighted by the LD30 RENEGADE — a compact flashlight designed with the…
South Carolina’s a pretty gun-friendly place, but gun owners in Beaufort County can be excused if they feel a little less welcome these days. The county’s government passed a new ordinance earlier this month that’s mean to restrict the discharge of firearms in unincorporated parts of the county, and while the measure that passed is an improvement in some respects over what what originally introduced, it could now leave gun owners guessing about whether or not their recreational shooting on their own property could get them in trouble. As proposed, the county’s ordinance would have…
After a rather tumultuous year for Splitgate developer 1047 Games, the team has announced its next project, Empulse, a fast-paced movement shooter inspired by Titanfall. This announcement comes after a series of rumors and leaks suggesting that the Splitgate team was shifting away from Arena Reloaded and working on a parkour-centric, mech-based FPS. Splitgate 2’s launch drew a negative reception, with many in the community citing expensive microtransactions and undercooked features as weak points in an otherwise solid game. Eventually, the problems with the shooter were enough for it to be unlaunched back into beta, resulting in several layoffs at…

The biggest myth out there about gun control is that it works. The fact that there are so many “studies” that twist reality to reach a predetermined conclusion simply makes it harder for people to accept that the mythology is just that, mythology. But time and time again, we see examples of people who can’t get guns lawfully getting them just the same. It’s an entire thing, and just as gun grabbers claim that the problem is that they didn’t restrict hard enough, the reality is that it’ll never be enough for them.Ever.Over this past…

The Proposal From national parks to state parks to wilderness permits, recreational users typically pay a flat fee. To camp or backpack, state and federal agencies often charge X number of dollars per…
The rules around machine guns are particularly onerous. Not just do you have to pay the $200 tax stamp to buy one, the fact that you can’t own one made after 1986 unless you have special licenses just makes it even more expensive as those guns are destroyed, stolen, or just worn out over time. At least we got rid of the tax stamp on short-barrelled rifles and shotguns, and for suppressors.Now, Rep. Lauren Boebert wants to do the same for machine guns, and Gun Owners of America is absolutely here for it.From a press…

The $200 stamp is gone for several NFA items, but the forms, fingerprints, and waits still bite. Here is what changed, what did not, and how to play it smart.
