Hi-tex I believe was sold to anschutz, if you look at their webpage they list the hybrid suits which is what a hi-tex suit is.

I did equipment control for 3p JO's this year and by far these are the worst boots that I saw. Several that came through had issues passing, more than any other brand.The soles also don't stay flat very long. And when they curl up they do it in a big way. Save your money in the long run and get the ...

On most top level NCAA rifle teams you will see most of the top level gear. I know that the whole of my team (JSU) has custom suits for various makers. And for most of the top colleges that will be the norm. At NCAA champs this year, I can not think of one person that did not have a custom suit. But...

I have a pair of Stenvagg boots and I think they are great. I would steer clear of the Sauer boots if you plan on ISSF shooting as the current model fails equipment control due to the wide rubber band which wraps around the boot preventing it from flexing thus not passing the flexibility test. A fr...

Take a look at the sauer boots, they are built more for a wider foot and I love mine. I had thune's and did not care for those and ended up having a lot of foot pain. The sauer boots are very comfortable and with the stock insole I have found that I do not rock back and forth the way I did with my t...

I would clean it whenever you start to notice a drop in accuracy, or about every tin or two of pellets. I'm pretty OCD about mine and clean it every tin or after a bad day of shooting.

Some will tell you that you don't need to use anything other than a patch and a pull through. I like that and from time to time I'll use a brush on it. I also really like TSI301 Lubricant. You can get it from pilkguna:

See if your optometrist will order them for you, that way all your insurance needs to know is that your optometrist bought it.
