Fresh, and exclusive to TFB, pictures of the Kalashnikov Group’s Saiga MK 107 at the Army-2016 Expo combined with some history and background. In 2015, as a competitor in the European IPSC Rifle Championships (Hungary), I had the opportunity to test the Saiga MK [Read More…]
It seems like with anything else, there is a easily obtainable goal or threshold one can reach with a reasonable level of expenditure, but going beyond that takes exponentially more time, money, and effort. Firearms are no different, as an entry level stock gun can do much more than many people [Read More…]

I did not realize that you could buy shoes designed especially for IPSC. They are sold by a European online store called DoubleAlpha for 129 Euros… The Fin made JALAS Cross Control FLX shoe is a superb, technologically advance professional footwear. It is designed [Read More…]
