We’ve always wanted to blow away a brand new Apple device. Well, last Friday we got our chance. As the clock struck 8 a.m., the Apple doors opened and we scurried inside to pick up the brand new iPad Mini. We quickly unboxed it, got in a few brief oohs and ahs, and then got to work. Test #1: Submersion A lot of people do submersion tests and they’ve always seemed like a good rite of p... Read More »
What are they? We asked ourselves the same thing for a while, until last week we finally found our answer, and then it seemed really obvious. Superheroes Guns Exploding Pumpkins So last week we hosted folks from the Com-Link community in the first ever “Pumpkin Shoot”, at our Sniper Country range in Northern Utah.

A couple of weeks ago, DTA offered me the opportunity to go caribou hunting in Alaska. While this would be an amazing opportunity for anyone, it was even more incredible for someone like me because…I’d never been hunting before. Not for deer, elk, turkey, duck, rabbit—NOTHING. Needless to say, it was an awesome experience. Learned a ton, saw some beautiful country, and met some g... Read More »
Hey guys, new shooter Dan here. I recently got the chance to go to Sniper Country for the Precision Rifle 1 Class, an introductory to long range shooting. While I was there, I had the opportunity to get some great instruction on shooting position, mechanics, and environmental factors like windage and temperature. I had a great time, and by the end of the weekend was engaging targets consistently o... Read More »
As many of you know, our Sniper Country training facility is officially open. As part of the opening process, we held a community open house, where the public was invited to come tour the facility, shoot our rifles and ask questions. It was a great chance for us to meet the community and address a couple of their concerns related to safety and fire hazards. We had a great cross section of the com... Read More »

For the experienced guys out there, I’m hoping I can get some suggestions an... Read More »
