"Between Trips, I just wanted to drop you a note to report on our success with the Tuffpak Gun Case . . . I love it!

"As you can imagine, between traveling for "North American Hunter" magazine and "North American Outdoors" on ESPN, I am nearly constantly on the go with my firearms . . . I can see myself using the Tuffpak almost exclusively for airline travel in the future.

The list of features in your letter is right on the money. Additionally, for several years now I have pulled the lining our of my Browning Travel Vaults (the original Pelican design) and put my firearms, inside their soft cases, in these. The Browning cases are sturdy and secure, but accomplish only what the Tuffpak does at the price of much more weight and no wheels. And the single latch locking system of the Tuffpak is another big plus.

I'm Sure that the results of the official NAHC Members' Field Test will be similar to what I've experienced with the Tuffpak. Plain and simple, it's the best system I've ever used to travel on airlines with firearms.

. . . You can bet I'll let North American Hunting Club members hear about it in my "Hunting Guns, Ammo & Optics" column very soon. Until then, take care, good hunting and have a happy holiday season.

Best afield,
