Super Bright Waterproof COB LED Headlamp Review
At $2.88 USD with free shipping, this was handily the cheapest headlamp tested. The main difference in this COB (Chips On Board) headlamp is that it uses an array of LED’s instead of 1 main one. This results in less glare, more widespread light, and means you can use smaller LED’s. The result is a…

Skywolfeye 1000 Lumen CREE XM-L Q5 LED Headlamp Review
So, this might be a Skywolfeye, or a BesSky, or not branded at all, who really knows. Even with all the oddly designed Chinese headlamps I reviewed, this was the weirdest and the worst. The plastic used to retain the headband to the headlamp bent and broke easily, the lamp swivel lock was odd and…

NiteCore HC60 Review
It’s really not fair to lump in a $60 headlamp with a bunch of $7 ones, but I thought it’d be interesting to review a headlamp that uses a very different design. It also comes with a $30 18650 battery, so it’s practically a $30 headlamp. The NiteCore HC60 uses a single 18650 battery horizontally…

Probe Shiny 5000 Lumen Diving Scuba Headlamp Review
I don’t do scuba diving, but I thought it’d be fun to get a completely waterproof diving headlamp. At $5.60, the Probe Shiny Scuba Headlamp wasn’t going to break the bank. This headlamp was quite different from the other Chinese headlamps in a few interesting ways: Uses a silicone headband instead of fabric. Silicone attachment…

5000 Lumen XM-L Headlamp Review
This headlamp was unbranded, and at a princely $10, came with (2) 18650 batteries, wall charger, and car charger. At this price point, the batteries can be assumed to be counterfeit, and are unlikely to be anywhere in the vicinity of their claimed mAh. Loaded up with 2 18650 batteries, the headlamp comes in at…

Probe Shiny 15000 Lumen 3 LED Headlamp Review
The Probe Shiny 3 LED headlamp is probably the oddest looking headlamp that I reviewed. It uses a main single XM-L LED with a click-zoomable lens, and is flanked by a couple of COB-style LED’s. The product listing page claims that this combination results in 15000 Lumens, which is laughable. This combo would be lucky…

Skywolfeye 30000 Lumens 5X Cree LED Headlamp Review
We have a winner for most exaggerated lumens claimed! This headlamp claims a ridiculous 30,000 lumens output, but in reality it’s closer to 800-1000. The Skywolfeye uses 5 CREE XM-L LED’s: 3 in a traditional lens housing up top, and 2 more magnified ones on the bottom. If you chip in for the full set,…

Browning A5 Review
The Browning Auto-5 was the original semi automatic shotgun. While the old shotgun ran on a long recoil system, the new A5 runs on a Benelli-esque inertial system that Browning calls their “Kinematic Drive”. Browning LOVES giving every feature a name. But the other thing that Browning typically does is add features and innovation. Let’s…

Where to Shoot 3 Gun in Canada
3 Gun is a quickly growing shooting sport using rifles, shotguns, and pistols. Although I’ve written about 3 Gun in Canada as well as 3 gun training for beginners before, I thought I’d keep a nice, tight article on where you can find matches in Canada. Note that the number of 3 gun matches run at…

Remington Versa Max Review
The Remington Versa Max is a gas operated, magazine tube-fed, semi-automatic shotgun that is Remington’s hat in the ring of versatile shotguns that work with a variety of shells. Unlike the older Remington 1100, the Versa Max uses an ingenious port based system to adjust gas pressure appropriately based on shell length without having to…
