As I started to look at all the different policies in detail, there were a few contenders that came out pretty strong, and one…
At this year’s SHOT Show I spoke with one of Element’s owner’s, Shane Keller. This Utah based company with design offices in Sweeden and South Africa. While a relatively new company in sporting optics, this company was founded by professional shooters and optics designers with decades of experience. Their Nexus and Helix scopes quickly gained a following among competition PRS…

But within weeks of completing my video, Monstrum released a new Banshee with their own BDC reticle:…

This newest version, the Arkfeld PRO, adds both a UV inspection light and a green laser pointer to a high lumen output multi mode white…
