Often times the drills and courses of fire we use for training and practice have us stuck shooting silhouettes and bullseyes. While these certainly have significant training value, it can get a bit monotonous. Every now and then it�s nice to change things up a little bit, both visually as well as practically. One of my favorite ways to do this is with the Casino Drill.

Regardless of where you go for firearm information, some form of gun testing is likely to figure into the results you dig up. Consumer appetites for this information are just as vigorous as in other industries. After all, who doesn�t appreciate a thorough review of products before laying out money for one? While firearm publications spend much time focusing on the specifications and performance evaluations of different guns, ammunition and the occasional optic or sound suppressor, one critical component to modern-firearm designs�the detachable magazine�often gets little attention. Just like car tires, magazines are components that are required for proper function of larger systems.

I say just as useful because whenever I find myself in the dark looking for potential animals to hunt, looking around through my riflescope is not only cumbersome but dangerous. The BinoX binoculars allow the user to safely scan the surrounding environment to identify potential targets, and it also gives you additional information that will help you make a better shot when the time comes.
