    Tactical Starter Pack

    Looking to get someone into the shooting sports?

    We at Pew Pew Tactical decided to spin up our own company called ShellShock Protection to source the best essentials for new shooters.

    Enter…the Tactical Starter Pack.

    We selected super-protective glasses available in both clear/smoke so you’re ready for any kind of range.

    Plus we upgraded our ear muffs with gel inserts so you’re super comfy while shooting.

    And some splatter targets to your your hits…combo-ed with a small universal cleaning kit for after your range trip.

    Since we just launched, we’re offering 30% off to all buyers with free shipping on the Tactical Starter Packs.

    Or check out the ear protection on their own (with electronic & Bluetooth options).

    Best AR-15 Uppers

    Want a little more variety in your (AR-15) life?

    Aero M4E1 16" Build

    One of our go-to recommendations is with Aero Precision.

    Aero Precision M4E1 16 Midlength Pencil
    Aero Precision M4E1 16 Midlength Pencil

    It’s solidly built AND is nicely finished.  Plus it’s affordable.

    Above you can see the 12″ rail on a 16″ barrel but now I’m kind of diggin’ the 15″ rails…

    If you want to go cheaper but will still always go bang…you can’t go wrong with PSA and their $319 16″ Mid-Length complete upper with NIBX bolt carrier group.

    Check out the full reviews and more recommendations in Best AR-15 Uppers.

      Eric, When you get a chance, check out the Witt Machine 3 piece directional muzzle brake. I performs as each of the ones you have listed, but includes screw on blast deflector sleeves for use at a noise considerate range, a three gun match, or a uspsa match.

      Given that this is the Valentines Day article, I am surprised that there was no mention of "Thunder Bra's" or "Thunder-wear"! Whats a happy Valentines Day without a Flash-Bang Bra for the one special lady in your life?
