Testimonials

"I still have a patch or two that are 7 years old and even with field use they are in perfect condition. That's a huge statement."

Christian
DEA

"My unit has been nothing but proud to wear the flags you guys made for us so thank you so much."

Christopher
US Army

"The ability to use one target to align the various systems will contribute to consistency,and ease the logistics of acquiring spectrum specific sights."

National Tactical Officers Asso

"A military unit needed to deploy the next day to prepare for unrest after the Solemani killing and had PEQ-15's they had never sighted in or trained on. QT rushed to their aid and offered help including the IR.Tools UZT for zeroing. With it the zeroing process was effective and made the impromptu training effort just what the unit needed."

Sam
Quantico Tactical

"Yalls little targets with the three choices on them are great! I know cause I’ve used all three this past month!"

Pat
Sportsmen

"We see the K9 markers very well all day and all night using our FLIR. This is useful because the K9 teams have a very specific role in search operations. The helicopter needs to see them as soon as they come onto the scene and direct their next step. The IR.Tools markers help us to do that. The markers have made our operations safer and more effective."
