NEWINGTON, N.H., (April 15, 2026) – SIG SAUER, industry leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, optics, and ammunition was honored to host the 2026 SIG Relentless Warrior Championship (SRWC) at the SIG SAUER Academy. With eleven teams of one hundred and thirty-four competitors, the 2026 SRWC event marked the largest in the event’s history.

Cadets from the Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, Royal Military College of Canada, Texas A&M, The Citadel, US Naval Academy, University of North Georgia, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and West Point competed over two days among stiff competition. The event concluded with an awards banquet featuring retired SGM and Leadership in the Shadows author Kyle Lamb.

This year’s SIG Relentless Warrior Challenge put one hundred and thirty-four competitors through ten challenging stages, testing their skills in marksmanship, teamwork, fitness, and leadership through mission focused themes.  After two days of competition in some of the best weather to date, the US Military Academy at West Point was crowned the team champion.

“I am incredibly proud of the performance our Cadets delivered this past weekend. Coming out on top against ten other high-caliber schools and military academies was no accident. We emphasize that being a proficient shooter is only the baseline; the true requirement is the mental and physical fortitude to overcome any obstacle in their path,” said Gary Salman, coach of U.S. Military Academy at West Point.  “The lessons these Cadets learned this weekend are not confined to the range. These experiences build the operational capabilities they will carry into the Army as they assume leadership roles.  Everything we do revolves around our core mantra: developing leaders of character who will fight and win our nation’s wars.”

NEBO Unveils LEO FLEX Series: The Perfect Blend of Power and Portability in Flashlights

Fort Worth, Texas (Apr. 15, 2026) – When selecting a flashlight, two key factors must be considered.

Each LEO FLEX flashlight employs Flex-Power, allowing them to be powered by an included rechargeable battery or standard alkaline batteries for quick and convenient backup. These flashlights combine cutting-edge technology with unbeatable versatility and durability.

Each model features five lighting modes ranging from Turbo to Strobe. The LEO FLEX 3200 delivers impressive performance with Flex-Power™ technology, providing versatility for any situation. It comes equipped with 3x adjustable zoom, Smart Temperature Control™ (STC), and a powerful magnetic base for easy attachment to metal surfaces.

The LEO 5000 FLEX delivers up to 5,000 lumens and provides up to 24 hours of rechargeable battery life, while the LEO 7500 FLEX offers up to 7,500 lumens with up to 12 hours of rechargeable battery life. Both models are IPX7 waterproof, impact-resistant, and include an integrated power bank to charge any USB-powered devices on the go. Constructed from anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, the LEO 5000 FLEX, LEO 7500 FLEX, and LEO FLEX 3200 all feature 3x adjustable zoom, Smart Temperature Control, Direct-to-Low, Smart Power Control, and PowerSave lockout mode. They are USB-C rechargeable and can alternatively be powered by six AAA batteries.

Ft. Worth, TX (April 15, 2026) – A glance at the calendar confirms that Spring is approaching, bringing warmer weather and the opportunity to move beyond winter conditions. The season signals longer days, milder nights, and renewed interest in fresh air and outdoor activity.

The company serves as a single source for advanced lighting solutions, portable power systems, and dependable everyday carry and lifestyle tools. The product lineup delivers performance, safety, and practical utility as outdoor activity increases in April and beyond.

NEBO Spotlight and Lanterns: Bright Light for Every Outdoor Moment

The GALILEO AIR range offers lightweight, bright illumination for minimalist backpacking and car camping.

NEBO lighting tools extend usable outdoor hours while enhancing safety and comfort during cool Spring evenings.

NEBO Power: Off-Grid Energy When It Matters Most

Portable power remains a critical component of any Spring outing. Whether on a remote camping trip or traveling by vehicle, dependable energy storage ensures essential electronics and equipment remain operational.

The INTREPID Series power stations support extended overnight stays by powering phones, speakers, compact refrigerators, and other devices. The RAMBLER Series offers mid-range capacity in a lightweight format, ideal for day trips and car camping. To capture increased seasonal sunlight, RELIANCE Solar Panels provide sustainable charging for power stations during extended outdoor stays.

These power solutions maintain operational readiness from early morning hikes through late evening activities.

TRUE EDC and Outdoor Tools: Practical Gear Built for Performance

Effective outdoor preparation includes dependable tools designed for real-world tasks. ACG addresses this requirement through the TRUE line of rugged knife blades and accessories engineered for cutting rope, preparing meals, and managing campsite duties.

TRUE Utility: Ignite the Future with Revolutionary Plasma Lighter XRL

Posted on Thursday, 16 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

TRUE Utility: Ignite the Future with Revolutionary Plasma Lighter XRL

Fort Worth, Texas (Apr. 15, 2026) – The methods used to start a fire have changed over the years. In the beginning, the method of choice was rubbing sticks together, and that gave way to using flint to spark dried twigs into a blaze. As time passed, matches became the way to start a fire, and eventually gave way to gas lighters. Now, starting a fire has evolved well beyond single-use matches and disposable fuel lighters.

TRUE is at the cutting edge of fire-starting technology with the introduction of their Plasma Lighter XRL, the lighter that is advanced, eco-friendly, and versatile. The Plasma Lighter XRL harnesses advanced plasma arc technology, making it flameless, fuel-free, windproof, and rechargeable. A single charge provides up to 100 ignitions, which is equivalent to a standard box of matches. Unlike matches or fuel lighters, the Plasma Lighter XRL can be used repeatedly, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Building on the success of TRUE’s XR (Xtended Reach) model, which features a flexible neck to keep fingers safely away from the ignition point, the XRL (Xtended Reach + Light) takes that convenience a step further. It doubles as a pocket flashlight with a built-in three-mode LED light, making it perfect for illuminating campsites before lighting the fire for the night.

But the real beauty of the Plasma Lighter XRL is its versatility. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the XRL is ideal for lighting candles, fireworks, starting a campfire, or igniting a gas stove or grill. Constructed from durable ABS plastic, the Plasma Lighter XRL offers drop protection and peace of mind. With an IPX6 water-resistant housing, it can be added to emergency kits, with camping supplies, or packed with backpacking gear without worry, as it will be ready even in rainy conditions. The Plasma Lighter XRL’s lithium-polymer battery is USB-C rechargeable and can fully charge in about an hour.

Eco-friendly, efficient, and built to last, TRUE’s Plasma Lighter XRL outperforms traditional lighters in every way, and will prove to be an invaluable addition to any situation it’s needed in.

NSSF Honors U.S. Rep. Ben Cline as 2025 Legislator of the Year

Posted on Thursday, 16 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NSSF Honors U.S. Rep. Ben Cline as 2025 Legislator of the Year

NSSF honors U.S. Rep. Ben Cline (R-Va.) as 2025 NSSF Legislator of the Year

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, proudly honored U.S. Rep. Ben Cline (R-Va.) as the 2025 NSSF Legislator of the Year for his staunch support of NSSF-priority legislation in areas including defending the firearm industry’s ability to engage in lawful commerce, safeguarding the Second Amendment rights of customers and promoting and protecting hunting and recreational target shooting.

“We are honored to present Congressman Ben Cline with the 2025 NSSF Legislator of the Year Award for his unwavering leadership on Capitol Hill to protect the firearm and ammunition industry,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President for Government & Public Affairs and General Counsel. “The list of legislative achievements by Congressman Cline to support the firearm industry is remarkable. Representative Cline has been a leader in reducing hurdles to lawful firearm ownership, including zeroing out the tax stamp fee for suppressors, short-barrel rifles and short-barrel shotguns in the One Big Beautiful Bill and preventing a politically-driven government shutdown to stymie the firearm industry from enabling Americans to lawfully purchase suppressors. Our industry, and the American public, is deeply grateful for Congressman Cline’s fierce determination to protect our industry that makes the exercise of the Second Amendment possible for all Americans.”

Congressman Cline took the reins of the Hearing Protection Act (H.R.404) upon the retirement of its previous sponsor, added the NSSF-supported Protecting Americans’ Right to Silence (PARTS) Act, and grew support for the bill to the highest level in the past four congresses. The bill currently sits at 119 cosponsors. Rep. Cline also served a key role in securing the historic win in the One Big Beautiful Bill zeroing out the NFA tax, which has resulted in tens of thousands of new suppressor applicants. When the government was experiencing the longest shutdown in U.S. history, Congressman Cline championed NSSF-supported legislation — the Firearm Access During Shutdowns Act — to ensure that the firearm industry can continue to fully serve law-abiding Americans during government shutdowns. He also led 29 of his colleagues in sending a letter to Bureau Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) urging it to continue processing National Firearms Act (NFA) forms during the shutdown.

Congressman Cline’s fierce advocacy for the firearm and ammunition history was evident even before 2025. When the industry was under attack by the Biden administration, Congressman Cline led the charge through the Appropriations process in pushing back against the Biden Firearm Export Ban.

Congressman Cline is supporting the following NSSF-supported Congressional bills:

  • H.R. 987, Fair Access to Banking Act
  • H.R. 45, Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act
  • H.R. 1181, Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act
  • H.R. 556, Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act
  • H.R. 631, Protecting Americans’ Right to Silence (PARTS) Act
  • H.R. 1773, Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act
  • H.R. 1041, Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act
  • H.R. 38, Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act
  • H.R. 404, Hearing Protection Act (*lead sponsor)
  • H.R. 5874, Firearm Access During Shutdowns Act

Congressman Cline earned an “A+” on NSSF’s 2024 Congressional Report Card and was named to NSSF’s inaugural 2024 “Dean’s List,” with a 100 percent voting and co-sponsorship record for NSSF priority legislation.

About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

The Fee is Gone, The Process remains

$200 Federal Tax Stamp Fee Eliminated: What This Means for You

As of January 1, 2026, the federal tax stamp fee for suppressors and short-barreled rifles (SBRs) has been reduced from $200 to $0. While the financial barrier ($200) has been removed, the legal process (NFA registration) remains in effect.

What Changed: You no longer pay the ATF $200 to register an NFA item.
What Stayed the Same: You must still file an ATF Form 1 (to make/configure an SBR) or Form 4 (to buy a suppressor/factory SBR), submit fingerprints/photos, undergo the background check, and wait for approval.

Fen X Custom Attends NRA Show 2026

Posted on Wednesday, 15 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Fen X Custom: Where Technology Meets Accessibility

Grawn, MI (April 14, 2026) – In the past, protecting hearing was usually the job of small pieces of foam rubber inserted into the ear canal or of large, clunky, over-the-ear headphones that were inconvenient and could get in the way. With advances in smartphone technology and manufacturing breakthroughs, FenX has revolutionized the buying of custom earplugs, significantly streamlining the process with an app.

FenX, makers of perfect-fit ear protection powered by state-of-the-art Smartphone Scanning Technology, will allow customers to order custom-molded earplugs from home and ship them within 48 hours of placing the order.

Using the FenX app on a smartphone, AI technology allows users to scan their ears from home. AI generates an image of the inner ear, creating a perfect picture of the ear canal. That means a custom-made product without the trip to an audiologist or the hassle of costly molds for the right fit. Each set of custom-made earplugs is manufactured and shipped within 48 hours.

FenX’s custom earplugs provide an easy, hassle-free fit. Users can seamlessly purchase them using their smartphone right in the comforts of their home. FenX’s advanced scanning technology makes the process quick and easy, streamlining what in the past would have taken weeks into a 48-hour undertaking. Thanks to FenX’s website, setup is easy, with quick-start guides and more detailed instructions available to walk users through scanning the ear using the FenX Smartphone app.

FenX protects in nearly any application or environment, including custom earplugs for musicians, noise-canceling earplugs for shooting, and earplugs for industrial noise, not to mention being the best earplugs for live concerts.

In addition, FenX features custom adapters for popular true wireless earbuds, including Apple AirPods Pro, Sony WF-1000XM5 (and previous XM4), Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, Samsung Galaxy Buds, and Google Pixel Buds Pro.

So, the choice is simple: stick with old-school hearing protection or move into the future of hearing protection with FenX. Using new technology, a quick scan with a smartphone means custom-molded earplugs will be shipped within 48 hours. Make hearing protection a forward-thinking process. With FenX, the future is now.

NSSF Salutes Kentucky Legislature for Veto Override to Prevent Lawfare Against Firearm Industry

Posted on Wednesday, 15 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

April 14, 2026

NSSF Salutes Kentucky Legislature for Veto Override to Prevent Lawfare Against Firearm Industry

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, salutes the Kentucky legislature for voting, in an overwhelming manner, to override Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of legislation to prevent frivolous lawsuits against members of the firearm industry for the criminal misuse of firearms by remote third parties.

Kentucky’s House of Representatives voted 80-19 to override Gov. Beshear’s veto of HB 78. Kentucky’s Senate voted 31-6. The NSSF-supported Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms (PLCAA) Clarification Act (HB 78) establishes legal immunity for firearm and ammunition manufacturers and retailers against lawsuits arising from criminal or unlawful misuse of lawfully sold products. This law enhances existing protections provided by the federal PLCAA. State-level PLCAA bills have become necessary, however, after some courts failed to faithfully apply the federal law as Congress intended. Laws like Kentucky’s HB 78 are necessary because a number of antigun states have enacted laws aimed at defying Congress to purposefully circumvent the PLCAA to allow the very sort of frivolous lawsuits the federal law bars. This new, growing wave of lawfare is aimed at bankrupting the firearm industry.

“Kentucky’s legislators are standing with the rule of law, and this veto override corrects the wrong Governor Beshear set into motion when he vetoed this commonsense legislation,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “Governor Beshear acknowledged when he vetoed this bill that this legislation would prevent frivolous and harassing lawsuits for violence committed by criminals. Governor Beshear chose to stand with special interest gun control groups that would abuse our courts to advance gun control legislation through litigation. Kentucky’s legislators stood with the rule of law, that those who commit heinous criminal acts are the ones who should be held responsible.”

Governor Beshear, in his veto message, admitted that criminal misuse of firearms is not the responsibility of firearm manufacturers. He attempted to scapegoat and blame the highly regulated firearm industry for crimes committed by remote third parties.

“Members of the firearm industry are no more responsible for the actions of criminals than Kentucky’s bourbon distillers are responsible for drunk driving deaths,” Keane added.

Those responsible for heinous criminal acts are called criminals. Obsfucating that accountability to pander to gun control special interests is a perversion of justice. NSSF is deeply grateful to the Kentucky legislators who voted to override the governor’s veto for their principled stand to hold criminals responsible for their crimes.



About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

NSSF Files FEC Complaint Against Giffords PAC

Posted on Tuesday, 14 April, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NSSF

April 13, 2026

NSSF Files FEC Complaint Against Giffords PAC

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Giffords PAC, the political fundraising arm of the gun control group Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence. In the complaint, NSSF alleges Giffords PAC and its allies are skirting the FEC’s joint fundraising rules when they solicit funds for both Giffords PAC and their preferred candidates for elected office. Giffords PAC has been using these joint fundraising solicitations to enrich their own antigun agenda, while failing to comply with the FEC’s joint fundraising filing and disclaimer requirements. NSSF is urging the FEC to take action against Giffords PAC, and the candidates with whom they are jointly fundraising, for these violations.

“Giffords PAC has been playing fast and loose with how they are soliciting funds to support themselves and their preferred gun control candidates for elected office,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “The FEC’s joint fundraising rules are clear but Giffords ignores them because they believe they are above accountability. Their fundraising misleads consumers by falsely claiming these joint fundraising solicitations are not authorized by any candidates or their campaign committees. Giffords PAC and these candidates are knowingly ignoring mandatory FEC disclosure requirements.”

Giffords PAC sent fundraising emails in partnership with preferred federal and gubernatorial candidates for office that ask potential donors to “split a donation between my campaign and Giffords PAC…” yet it has failed to properly follow the required FEC joint fundraising procedures. FEC regulations require the appointment of a joint fundraising representative or formation of a joint fundraising committee with the associated campaigns, yet Giffords PAC’s most recent FEC Statement of Organization does not reflect its involvement in any joint fundraising efforts.

Further, these emails soliciting donations stated they were “Paid For By Giffords PAC” and “not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.” However, the joint fundraising emails are obviously authorized by candidates. In fact, the emails are signed by candidates and jointly solicit contributions for the campaigns. Those email solicitations sent donors to an ActBlue website that asked donors to support candidates and Giffords antigun agenda. FEC regulations require that mass mailings of 500 or more substantially similar communications include appropriate disclosures, however Giffords PAC has not included appropriate joint fundraising disclosures in either their emails or ActBlue contribution pages, and falsely claim that these communications are not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

Giffords PAC has sent these solicitations that enriched their own antigun agenda in coordination with U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Gov. Roy Cooper (D-N.C.) and Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.).

Giffords PAC and the campaigns are flouting the FEC’s joint fundraising regulations and obscuring how these fundraising efforts are financed. The joint fundraising regulations ensure that each participant pays its own allocable share of fundraising costs based on funds raised. Disclaimer requirements inform the public of who is paying for a communication and whether a candidate is standing behind the communication.
