Re-Zero Before You Head Out

When you mount your suppressor, your point of impact usually moves a bit, that's normal. Zero your rifle with the suppressor on, using the same ammo you'll hunt with, and you're set.

If the shift is bigger than expected, check your mount and alignment before heading out.

Get The Right Silencer For Hunting

Suppressors on huting rifles protect your ears while also making lightweight high-powered rifles easier to shoot.

Most hunters go with a .30 cal suppressor first because it works across almost any caliber you'd use in the field, and add more specialized suppressors later.

Your ears stay protected, recoil and muzzle flash drop too, and you have a better shot at a trophy on the wall and meat in the freezer.

Heat Happens.
Be Ready for It.

A suppressor heats up after a few shots in a row, not a big deal for deer or elk but it can matter for predator or hog hunts.

Let it cool before you handle it or set your rifle down, and consider using a suppressor cover to combat heat and scope mirage.
