Cleaning and care
A weapon, like any other complex mechanism, needs maintenance. If you look after a gun regularly, properly clean it and lubricate it, it will reliably serve you for a long time. If you forget to clean it, sooner or later, its mechanism and barrel will rust and become unusable. As for malfunctions and problems during shooting, in the case of non-regular cleaning and care, they should be expected much earlier.
As a shooter and an avid camper, I have seen and used many different flashlights. I’ve learned over the years which features are important to me and which I can do without. When I got a chance to take the Olight Warrior X Pro on a camping trip recently, I jumped at the chance.
Aiming with wrong eye and racking a pump action shotgun for no reason!

I was told one story, I don’t know if it’s true. One shooter had a bad habit practicing with live rounds at home. First shot was at TV, second at the wall and third shot at the wall resulted a divorce… So, always practice with dummy rounds, it is better to put all live rounds in a safe or in another room, so you have no chance mixing live and dummy rounds.
New interesting and very expensive flahslight which replaces mag cap on Remington 870 shotguns. Good choice if you don’t have magazine extension. Haven’t tested it yet.
Safety on a shooting range is very important. But shooting range (gunshot) first aid kit is a must too.
5.11 Tactical Med Kit, Medical Pouch
What I recommend to have in your Shooting Range (Gunshot) First Aid Kit:
1. Tactical Tourniquet (SOF or CAT). This tourniquet saves lives. It was tested in Iraq and Afghanistan and used by US Army. It is very simple and effective way to stop bleeding from limbs.
2. Celox Gauze Roll. Celox is effective but it is much easier to use a Celox Gauze. Very simple application, very effective when you need to stop bleeding.
3. I recommend getting 5.11 Tactical Med Kit Medical Pouch. It has pocket for Tactical Tourniquet and also enough space for Celox Gauze Roll. Please note that many people don’t like this pouch and prefer classic medic pouches.
Please note that many guys think that pocket for Tactical Tourniquet is too small on 5.11 Tactical Med Kit Medical Pouch. But it fits ok, you just need to place it properly.
The pouch is compact, tactical tourniquet and Celox gauze roll are very effective when you need to stop bleeding.
Highly recommended for all shooters.
Take care!
