Rifles Only had some neat products this year at SHOT. Rifles Only, based out of Kingsville Texas, is a premier training facility for long range rifle shooting and training. Aside from long range shooting, Rifles Only also offers classes for carbine, long range hunting, high angle shooting, field craft, pistol, instructor education, Protective Service Detail as well as helicopter assault training.

Several products that caught my eye were the Heat Abatement Device (HAD), Mirage Abatement Device (MAD) and the High Heat Suppressor Pouch.

The Heat Abatement Device and the Mirage Abatement Device are suppressor covers. Like its namesake, the Mirage Abatement Device is designed to mitigate mirage coming off of a hot suppressor so as not to distort a shooters field of view as well as protect a person and personal equipment from thermal damage. The Mirage Abatement Device is for bolt guns. The Heat Abatement Device performs exactly like the Mirage Abatement Device, but is rated for semi-auto and full automatic guns.The Heat Abatement Device consist of two layers. The inner core is rated for 3000 degrees, while the outer cover is rated for 2000 degrees. The Heat Abatement Device is available in 5″, 6″, 7″, 7.5″, 8, 8.5″, 9″ and 10″. It is available in the following colors; Multicam, Kryptec Highland, and Coyote Brown, OD Green, Black, and Atacs. It will cover suppressors from 1.3″ to 2″ in diameter.

High Heat Suppressor Pouch

Rifles Only is also offering the High Heat Suppressor Pouch. This pouch acts as a glove/sleeve for a hot suppressor. The large pouch can accommodate a suppressor that has a Heat Abatement Device or a Mirage Abatement Device. These are ideal to stave off burning yourself, vehicle or gear. The stitch quality is amazing.

Rifles Only is also offering their Shooters Book. This book has a modular design. End users can configure it with bullet cards, pouches and data cards.

Rifles Only has Slap Data Cards. The Card can be pulled out of the Range book and simply slapped to the forearm. Neat product.

Jacob Byum of Rifles Only. I spoke to a lot of industry people at SHOT this year, but Jacob Bynum actually “talked” to me. Great conversation. Great guy, brilliant mind for long range precision and gear.

Rifles Only has a great website. Rifles Only will also be hosting the Bushnell Brawl this year.
