OneTigris Waist Pack - Surprisingly awesome!

Hey EDC-ers! Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm excited to join this amazing community.

So I just purchased a OneTigris waist pack, essentially a Maxped Proteus clone. I was a little wary, considering I know nothing of the company, and it was coming from China, but I could not be happier with my choice.

I was looking for a waist pack that could be worn multiple ways (waist, shoulder, MOLLE), that could fit what I needed on a daily basis for work and play in as small a package as possible. I was looking seriously at the Proteus, but the price tag kept me at bay. The OneTigris then came across my path, and I figured "Hey...if it sucks, I'm only out 30 bucks". When I got the back in and packed it, all I could say was "HOLY CRAP!!" This sucker can pack it in!

The stitching looks well done, and it feels solid. The 1000d nylon feels sturdy and hearty, like it'll last a good long while. I can't speak to the strength in the field/bush, but for my purposes (work, around town), it'll do just fine. The zippers, while they don't say YKK, feel as such. They glide smoothly along the teeth. It'll take some breaking in to get the shape of the pack just right, but overall I'm impressed by the quality.

The load out I can fit in this thing is ridiculous compared to my expectations.
(certain items removed as I'm at work and currently using them)

[IMG]

Main pocket: iPad Mini in Apple Smart Case, PS Vita in a thin pouch, Moleskine large Volant, Moleskine small journal, checkbook, Word notebook, Kindle, Oakley Bullet eyeglass case.

Front pouch: Anker Astro e5 external battery, lightning cable, micro USB cable, pens, Smith & Wesson pocket knife, mini screwdriver with bits, USB charging block (and still room for more).

Side pockets can fit plenty (i.e. large vape box mod with tank attached, iPhone 6 in slim case). Not as much MOLLE attachments on this as I would have liked, but again...I wanted small. I'll be ordering the bigger size (Sabercat clone) for my pouches to attach. The weight is very minimal, feels very comfortable on the hip loaded out (although I use the carry handle more).

All in all, I can only recommend this pack to anyone looking for a solid waist pack for EDC, but doesn't want to jump in with both feet in the pricey Maxped pool. Honestly the biggest deciding factor for me was the excellent attention paid to customer service. I posted a question on the OneTigris Facebook page, and within minutes had one of the heads of the company friend me and send me a message. He continued to speak with me over a few days, answering any questions I had prior to purchase. Post purchase he continued to thank me for my business, and thanked me for the review I left on the Amazon page. Apparently once a month they choose 2 reviews as the best, and completely refund the price of the purchase. To me, that beats out any other company and they have my business for life.

I get the sense they are a young company, and are still working on products and designs. I'm excited to see what they produce in the future!

6 Ways to Quickly Improve Shooting Your Airsoft Gun

image
If you watched American Sniper and you want to be deadly when you hit the airsoft field, you have to be diligent and improve your craft.
Players always say that the key to shooting well is to be the first one on the range and the last one off. That mentality carries over into airsoft as well, and only dedication and practice will get you to where you want to be.
Here’s the deal: These tips will help you learn how to quickly improve your aim shooting airsoft guns.
1. DON’T BE A COWBOY
You’re not a cowboy and this isn’t the O.K. Corral. Never shoot from the hip. Bring the gun up and get your sights lined up before you fire.
Remember that one accurate shot is better than a field of fire. A lot of players will just squeeze off as many as they can, but you’re always better off to slow down and concentrate on that one flawless shot.
Work quickly, but not too quickly.

2. USE THE STOCK
It’s tempting to ignore the stock because you’re not dealing with the kick of a regular firearm unless you’re using a GBB.
Don’t give in: The stock helps you sight in and stay steady for follow-up shots, and you must use it.
3. SHOOT WITH YOUR DOMINANT HAND
Your dominant hand is better for both shooting and cocking a spring-driven gun, and you may be tempted to shoot with your off hand so that you can cock quickly. Never do this.
Your aim is always better with your dominant hand, and you should practice cocking with your off hand until you master it so that each shot can be as accurate as possible.
You might be wondering: this one is for snipers and players using a spring powered gun.

4. CONTROL YOUR MIND AND BODY
Shooting well requires the right mindset and the right physical control. You’ll never hit anything if you panic. Instead, do this:
  1. Control your breathing.
  2. Shoot when you breathe out.
  3. Stay calm and collected.
  4. Concentrate on each shot as you pull the trigger, without worrying about anything else.
  5. Carefully reacquire the target after the shot, without panicking and overcompensating.
Players often begin shooting frantically and quickly whenever they see an opponent, but you’re far better off to be as stoic and mechanical as possible. Trust your muscle memory and shoot well consistently.
5. STAY COMFORTABLE
Your clothing has a lot to do with your accuracy. You must have comfortable clothing that moves easily.
Now: If your jacket is too tight and it hampers your freedom of movement, it’s going to draw every shot off course.
It’s also important to wear clothing that keeps you the appropriate temperature. If you’re shivering, your shaking hands are going to throw off your shots; if you’re sweating, you won’t be able to hold the gun firmly enough to line the sights up perfectly.
Dress for your environment and you’ll both enjoy the battle more and shoot more accurately.
6. LEARN THE DISTANCES
One of the biggest issues people have in airsoft is simply misjudging distances. You need to be able to eyeball a shot and know how far it is before you even acquire your target. This way, you can figure out how far the shot will drop and adjust accordingly.
Bottom Line: The best way to get comfortable with distances is to practice with multiple targets.
You’re not going to have all 15-foot shots in a match, so don’t stick to target practice at only 15 feet. Work on shooting at 10 feet and 25 feet, as well, and you’ll learn how different those shots can be.
