WONREVIEWS
Reviews rank high with us at The WON. We put gear through the
paces, testing it and really using it for our outdoor activities and
adventures. In fact, one seat-cover maker even called us and
asked, “You’re not going to run over these seat covers, are you?”
Know that if we see a problem with gear, we like to recommend
changes. We will never run a review that isn’t 100-percent honest.

Beretta SV10 Perennia I
I had the pleasure of shooting the 20-gauge SV10 Perennia I shotgun
with 26-inch barrels for the entirety of Michigan’s upland-hunting
season this year. This 7-pound, over-and-under is a breeze to carry
through the North Woods, and makes daylong hunting excursions,
through thick cover, easier than if I carried a heavier shotgun. I also
used the Perennia during more than 20 rounds of skeet and sporting
clays, in preparation for upland season. Below are some of the
reasons why this gun is perfect for any upland huntress.

Beretta Nano review
Micro-compact, 9mm handguns are one of the hottest concealed carry items
lately. I recently took the Beretta BU-9 Nano to the range and put it to the test.
This wasn’t the first time I’ve shot the Nano. Back in June of 2012, at the Girls
Gun Getaway, I had the opportunity to try Beretta’s first striker-fired pistol.

Babbs in the Woods:
Bugout gaiters kept her bug free!
It all started about two weeks before the official spring turkey season
commenced here in Missouri last year. I had been out scouting and came
back with multiple chigger bites on my ankles and lower legs. Although I
sprayed Permethrin on my boots and jeans, the lil’ critters still climbed
aboard my legs and chewed on me for a while. I still have the scars to
prove their existence. About the same time, I received a press release
regarding Insect Shield products, by Outdoor Research.
