I recently took my Cordova Soft Sided Cooler with me to spend the day up at the lake on my trip to the Whitetail Hunting Club. I figured that I would get some fishing in and spend some time with friends. The Cordova Soft Sided Cooler is perfect for a day trip and will hold up to 16 twelve ounce cans with a 10 pound bag of ice. I arrived up at the club around nine in the morning and loaded up the cooler with beverages and snacks for the day.
After a long day of fishing at the lake, we arrived back at the cabin around eight in the evening. I began to unpack the cooler and wouldn’t you know it – There was still ice in the cooler eleven hours later and my beverages were still ice cold.
The Cordova Soft-Side Cooler is made of a tough nylon shell with waterproof zippers and liners. It is 19” Wide x 23” Tall x 12” Deep. It is large enough to hold everything that you need and small enough to carry along with you for a nice long day trip. We did not catch any fish that day but our beer stayed cold all day long.
Cordova Soft Sided Cooler - $139.00

I have always used Peltor Products and I was extremely happy with the Peltor Sport Ultimate Hearing Protection. These are Peltor’s Highest NRR earmuffs (30 Decibels). They are very comfortable to wear and are very light weight. The Peltor Sport Ultimate Hearing Protection will not inhibit your shooting in any way. Their adjustable vented headband reduces heat build up and makes your shooting experience more enjoyable. I wore these while shooting a 30-30 and 308 caliber rifles and I heard nothing more than a muffled shot. The padded ear pieces fits securely around your ear to give you full protection.

When I think of Targets, I think of Hyskore. I have known Ted Werner, the owner of Hyskore for nearly a decade and have found him to be very innovative and passionate about shooting sports. Ted is always trying to find new ways to make target shooting more enjoyable with his diverse selection of bench rests and target stands.
Ted recently sent me the Hyskore Target Hound. The Target Hound is a long-range adjustable target stand that you assemble in a matter of minutes. It is an adjustable shooting stand that you can adjust from 24” to 47 inches. The base is constructed from welded steel sections that you quickly assemble with four nuts and bolts. You can use either a 2”x4” or a 1”x2” for your uprights. I personally prefer the 2”x4”. But that was just my preference. Once assembled I found the Target Hound to be very secure and stable. I spent the rest of the day at the range with friends using the Target Hound. Another great product by Hyskore.
