We suspect most of you know about two-point slings, as it seems to us that those are the most popular choice with most shooters. The second most common type is a single-point sling. Although single- and two-point slings dominate the market for the most part, there is one more sling, a mythical sling that is rarely seen in the wild. Shooters, range enthusiasts, operators and gunslingers have rarely been able to tame it. Of course, I’m talking about the three-point sling. Some of that is a dramatization, obviously.

RECOIL has teamed up with EOTECH to give one of our readers a Vudu 4-12×36 FFP rifle scope. This is EOTECH’s super-short first focal plane optic, measuring just 7.1 inches long.

For years, officials, water managers, and politicians have watched Lake Mead slide lower and lower while pretending there was still plenty of time to figure it out. Now that game is ending. The country’s biggest reservoir just dropped to a new record low, Hoover Dam is getting dangerously close to the point where it loses most of its generating capacity, and the people who are going to feel it first are the same people who had the least say in any of it.Popular Mechanics recently called Hoover Dam’s decline the “slowest-moving train wreck in history.” The problem with that line…
Open five articles promising the “ultimate survival kit” and you will usually find the same collection of gear listed in almost the same order. A ferro rod, some paracord, a Mylar blanket, a tactical flashlight, a folding saw, a multitool, a filter straw, waterproof matches, a whistle, a compass, a first-aid pouch and some kind of hollow-handle knife stuffed with fishing line.The lists look similar because the writers are copying one another. It is not because those same twelve items happen to be the right answer for every climate, household and emergency in the country.Most of the people producing these…
