The Gun Safe Care Guideline

There are several references to “The Gun Safe Care Guideline” on the internet, however there are a few important bits of information that are not included in most online guides. Proper care for a gun safe begins at the time of delivery or purchase and continues throughout the life of the safe. Upon arrival or purchase, the safe should be inspected for any visible damage. Testing the knob and combination or electronic lock is also important, to ensure it is in working order. Some safes are damaged during transit, often bending the parts of a lock inside the door, making it unable to lock when closed. If this happens, contact the company holding the warranty. They will often send out their own approved locksmith; removing the door without consent will void the warranty of most safes.

After purchasing a gun safe, it is best to keep the door closed and locked at all times. This is especially important for safe owners who live in humid climates. Even if the door is kept closed, dessecant beads should be purchased and placed in the bottom corner of the gun rack compartment. Any other compartments that are large should have a small amount of dessecant housed there also. It is crucial to understand the directions for care of dessecant beads and follow them exactly. Read the package thoroughly and save the instructions, always keeping the substance away from pets or children. Dessecant is a substance that traps moisture from humidity or steam. When used properly, they will prevent odors, mold, mildew and other damages commonly seen from moisture. Moisture will not only ruin the inside material of the safe, but it may also damage some guns, wood stocks or some types of improperly-sealed ammunition.

The Best Hunting Knives on the Market

For a serious hunter, the knife is one of the most important pieces of equipment he or she will ever buy. It serves so many functions while in the forest that it should never be neglected or left behind. A good knife can be used to clear a trail, cutting the branches from trees to make for better shooting lanes. It can be used to help in the construction of a deer blind, another thing that the hunter must do well in order to succeed. It can also, of course, be used to skin and gut a deer or other prey once it has been taken down with a rifle or bow. At this stage more than any other, a knife needs to be of the highest quality and the best construction so as not to inhibit the process. There are many knives on the market, and the hunter would be well-advised to pick out the best one they can find, the knife that is the most well-built and that fits their needs most completely.

Now, there are three different blade shapes to be chosen from, and all have their upsides, depending what the hunter will be using the knife for. In order to get a sense of the best knives on the market, one should consider all different blade shapes, as they are all examples of the best knives for certain purposes. The main three shapes are the Skinner, the Drop Point, and the Clip Point. Each one needs to be broken down in detail in order for the hunter to make an educated decision that he or she will not regret when out in the field.
