Honor, Unity, and Memory: Reflecting on September 11

The Tribute in Light over New York City, AI generated

Remember September 11!

On September 11, 2001, 2,977 lives were lost in the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. Four coordinated hijackings targeting the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, altered the trajectory of modern history in a matter of hours.

Why We Remember

Remembrance on September 11 serves two essential functions: honoring the fallen and affirming shared humanity. Every year, annual ceremonies involve the reading of the victims’ names, moments of silence marking key timestamps of the morning, and acts of service nationwide through the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance.

By remembering the spirit of solidarity that emerged in the aftermath, future generations carry forward a powerful message: that unity and strength endure long after dark moments pass.

GA-ASI Unveils Wildfire UAS for Military, Civil and Commercial Roles

 

 

GA-ASI Unveils Wildfire UAS for Military, Civil and Commercial Roles |  General Atomics

GA-ASI UNVEILS WILDFIRE UAS FOR MILITARY, CIVIL AND COMMERCIAL ROLES

New Uncrewed Aircraft Combines Exceptional Endurance and Range
With Unsurpassed Payload and Affordability at Scale

SAN DIEGO – 10 September 2026 – The world leader in Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is pleased to announce its groundbreaking Wildfire UAS, a clean-sheet aircraft designed to maximize future investments in large uncrewed aircraft that incorporates lessons learned over decades of large-scale global UAS operations.

Wildfire draws upon more than 30 years of delivering more than 1,600 world-changing uncrewed aircraft, including the MQ-1B Predator®, MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian®, MQ-20 Avenger® and FQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft. GA-ASI aircraft have amassed nearly 10 million total flight hours, mostly in combat, and introduced many of the technologies and concepts now emulated by others around the world.

“This is exactly the right design for high-demand missions and cost-conscious customers,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “Our tailor-designed, attrition-tolerant Wildfire balances the high capability our aircraft are known for with huge flexibility and great scalability. There’s never been anything like it before.”

Wildfire is a new type of uncrewed aircraft, merging the best features of GA-ASI’s proven UAS with lower-cost components, tailored capabilities, and reimagined modularity. For defense customers, this enables Wildfire to be fielded quickly in large numbers, take risk in kinetic battlefield roles, and bring significant mass to the fight in ways that would have been prohibitive with other systems. In non-combat roles, Wildfire’s increased payload capacity and stronger hardpoints provide new options for heavy cargo delivery and other commercial activities.

“We’ve defined the top end of what medium-altitude, long-endurance uncrewed aircraft can do,” Alexander said. “Our MQ-9B is showing that it can do almost anything. Hunt for submarines, defend against drones, perform airborne early warning and many other missions, and that won’t change. But Wildfire is different. It’s focused on core ISR, strike and similar roles. This is a high-volume, lower-cost airplane that does a few things really well.”

Wildfire will be highly autonomous and designed for collaborative operations on Day One, leveraging our FQ-42A systems.

GA-ASI has proposed Wildfire for the U.S. Air Force’s Massed Modular Aircraft (MMA) competition within the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), which aims to develop an alternative to the MQ-9A Reaper. Wildfire meets or surpasses all requirements of that request in dramatic fashion, exceeding 8,000 nautical miles ferry range and capable of carrying two Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles simultaneously for meaningful combat distance.

Wildfire can also carry four Joint Strike Missiles simultaneously, or numerous other combinations of munitions, launched effects, sensors or other payloads. Advanced autonomy provides for networked, collaborative combat control of dozens of Wildfires at once, and the aircraft’s proliferated low-earth orbit satellite controls have already been proven on numerous GA-ASI aircraft flying today. Wildfire can be delivered years earlier than the FY2031 timeline defined by DIU, producing more than twice as many aircraft in the same amount of time, thanks to GA-ASI’s robust, existing manufacturing footprint and extensive network of suppliers, subcontractors, and partners.

Bodi.Me Launches Size-Me 5.1: Next Generation Smart Sizing Software for Uniform Programs

Bodi.Me Launches Size-Me 5.1: Next Generation Smart Sizing Software for Uniform Programs

New release delivers a quicker, clearer, and more intuitive sizing journey for smartphone users, while also uniquely supporting stock and supply chain optimization for manufacturers and suppliers.

LONDON, UK — 10 September 2026 — Bodi.Me, a leader in AI-powered sizing and fit technology for professional clothing, proudly announces the launch of Size-Me 5.1. The new update delivers a quicker, clearer, and more intuitive sizing journey for employees ordering workwear and uniforms on their smartphones. Size-Me 5.1 builds on the award-winning Size-Me 5.0, which was released earlier this year with a new multilingual capability, optimized deployment workflow, and improved user journey.

Size-Me 5.1 is one of the most advanced size and fit recommendation systems on the market. The system offers secure QR/URL access that directs each employee to the correct collection, supporting correct ordering by garment and employee role. This then further supports stock and production optimization as the system captures size requirements up front (by garment, role, and location), helping suppliers to forecast size curves, allocate inventory across sites, and plan production more accurately, reducing overproduction, stockouts, and costly redistribution.

Most modern workforce members order required apparel via smartphones. Size-Me 5.1 answers this shift by streamlining the digital fitting room with step-by-step instructions and will increase rollout participation across global teams with a faster, multilingual user journey, non-intrusive questions, and zero requirement for photographs or body scans. By maintaining total privacy and data security, the platform encourages higher employee participation and precise first-time size selections.

Why has Size-Me been optimized for mobile devices?

Smartphones have become central to the way employees access workplace services, particularly across distributed, frontline, and deskless workforces. A recent mobile-workforce study reported that 80 percent of enterprise employees use mobile applications for work-related tasks. (Worldmetrics)

Uniform ordering must therefore work effectively on the device employees are most likely to have available. Size-Me 5.1 has been further optimized for smartphones and mobile devices so that employees can complete the sizing process quickly and confidently, wherever they are located.

The improved mobile journey offers:

  • A faster and simpler experience
  • Clear, guided instructions
  • An intuitive step-by-step process
  • Personalized size and fit recommendations
  • Only a few simple wearer inputs
  • No photographs or body scans
  • A private and secure process
  • Garment-specific recommendations rather than generic size advice

The aim is to remove unnecessary friction and help more employees select the correct size first time.

Why does a simple wearer experience matter?

A sizing platform can only deliver value when employees find it easy to use.

Complex sizing forms, unclear instructions or intrusive requirements can reduce participation. Lower participation leaves organizations with incomplete sizing information and makes it harder to plan garment demand accurately.

A quick, accessible user journey can encourage more employees to complete the sizing process.

This provides two immediate benefits:

  • Helping each employee select the right garment size first time.
  • The organization receives more reliable information about actual size demand; in turn, this helps organizations manufacture, purchase, stock, and distribute the right quantities across every size.

“Workforce demographics, regulations and business systems are constantly evolving, and our continuous research and development keeps Size-Me relevant, accurate and commercially valuable for our clients. By combining an upgraded, mobile-optimized easy wearer journey with real size-demand intelligence, Size-Me supports not only end-user satisfaction, but also supports more accurate production planning, better stock allocation, and lower operating costs for manufacturers,” states Bodi.Me CEO and co-founder, Lara Mazzoni.

Size-Me 5.1 is available now and can easily be integrated into an organization’s existing e-commerce, uniform-ordering, or workforce-management platform, allowing employees to complete the sizing journey as part of their normal ordering process.

Find out more about Bodi.Me’s Size-Me 5.1 here: About Size-Me 5.1

About Bodi.Me:

Founded in 2013, by Lara Mazzoni and partners, Bodi.Me is a UK leader in AI-powered sizing for uniforms and professional clothing. Its award-winning Size-Me platform turns simple wearer inputs into accurate, garment-specific size recommendations while generating demand data to optimize production, stock, and distribution.

Highly customizable and easy to integrate, Size-Me has delivered 1.5M+ recommendations, reduced returns by over 80 percent, achieved up to 98.7 percent accuracy, and cut overproduction by more than 70 percent.

About Bodi.Me’s Size-Me 5.1:

Size-Me 5.1 is Bodi.Me’s latest AI-powered uniform sizing solution. It asks the wearer a small number of simple, non-intrusive questions and uses Bodi.Me’s proprietary technology to recommend the most appropriate size and fit for each specific garment. The non-intrusive, secure process does not require photographs, body scans, or specialist hardware.

What results has Size-Me achieved?

According to Bodi.Me’s platform and project results, Size-Me has:

  • Delivered more than 1.5 million size and fit recommendations
  • Achieved up to 98.7 percent size recommendation accuracy
  • Reduced garment returns by more than 80 percent
  • Helped reduce apparel overproduction by more than 70 percent

Results vary according to the garment program, implementation, available data, and client processes. However, these outcomes demonstrate how better sizing information can create measurable operational, commercial, and environmental benefits.

Partner with a Payer Program Highlights How Federal Excise Taxes Power Conservation, With Arizona’s Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Focus

NSSF

September 9, 2026

Partner with a Payer Program Highlights How Federal Excise Taxes Power Conservation, With Arizona’s Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Focus

Partner with a Payer

NSSF spotlights how firearm and ammunition manufacturers’ Federal Excise Taxes fund wildlife restoration, hunter education and public shooting access, featuring the Ben Avery Shooting Facility, the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Remington Ammunition.

PHOENIX — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is spotlighting the impact of its Partner with a Payer® (PWP) program, an initiative that brings manufacturers together with state and federal conservation leaders to show how federal excise taxes under the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman-Robertson Act) become on-the-ground results for wildlife, hunters and recreational shooters nationwide. Since 1937, the program has generated over $17.7 billion (more than $29 billion when adjusted for inflation) for conservation, fueling habitat restoration, research, hunter education and public shooting ranges in all 50 states.

The latest PWP visit brought agency partners and industry leaders to the Ben Avery Shooting Facility near Phoenix, one of the largest publicly operated shooting complexes in the nation and a flagship of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Welcoming roughly 250,000 shooters each year across disciplines that range from rimfire and cowboy action shooting to precision rifle out to 1,000 yards, Ben Avery illustrates how recreational shooting has become a driving force behind modern conservation funding. In Arizona, Pittman-Robertson dollars support 11 state-owned or operated public ranges and a grant program that helps private ranges open their doors to public access, extending shooting opportunities to more than 400 facilities statewide.

As a featured manufacturer in PWP, Remington Ammunition exemplifies the industry’s role in this funding model. Through PWP, agency partners and industry peers see firsthand how quarterly federal excise tax payments from manufacturers flow through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and are invested by state fish and wildlife agencies, delivering measurable benefits for wildlife, habitat and public access while expanding education for the next generation of hunters and shooters.

“Here at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility, we welcome roughly 250,000 shooters through our gates every year,” said Dale Case, Rifle and Pistol Range Manager at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility. “Making sure the next generation knows these facilities exist, and that there are safe places to learn, is central to everything we do.”

“The Wildlife Restoration Act is a quiet giant in the world of conservation funding, reaching 56 states and territories across America,” said James Burnham, Biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “It is remarkable to stand here at Ben Avery, a facility this comprehensive and this large, because it speaks directly to the importance of recreational shooting for conservation management.”

“At Remington Ammunition, we make ammunition for the recreational shooter, and the recreational shooter is essential to the entire model of wildlife conservation funding in this country through the 11 percent excise tax,” said Jon Zinnel, Director of Community Relations at Remington Ammunition. “Those dollars support not only the development of shooting ranges but wildlife conservation across the board, which is why it is so important for us as a manufacturer to engage directly with state agencies and organizations.”

The Partner with a Payer framework deepens understanding across the complete conservation pathway, from manufacturers to federal excise taxes to state-level investments, by opening facility doors, encouraging dialogue with state and federal professionals and highlighting measurable outcomes. As target shooters become a growing share of the constituents who fund conservation, that transparency helps industry teams and the public see how dedicated funding translates into new and improved ranges, hunter-education programming and habitat work that people can experience in their own communities.

This initiative is supported by the NSSF and produced in collaboration with Shine United LLC / Kingdom Filmworks.

Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

NSSF Marks Successful Conclusion to Gun Storage Check Week

September 9, 2026

NSSF Marks Successful Conclusion to Gun Storage Check Week

At Close of National Safety Awareness Campaign, NSSF Urges Year-Round Emphasis

Washington, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, celebrates the successful conclusion of Gun Storage Check Week®, observed Sept. 1–7 to coincide with National Suicide Prevention Month. Throughout Gun Storage Check Week, millions of gun owners were reminded of the “Make Sure It’s Secure®” message to review their storage practices and help prevent unwanted access to firearms when not in use.

“NSSF thanks the many gun owners, retailers, ranges, firearm industry companies and organizations, as well as the law enforcement community, for their staunch support of Gun Storage Check Week,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “The ‘Make Sure It’s Secure’ message is relevant year-round, but at the start of National Suicide Prevention Month it’s paramount. Suicide is preventable. We know securely storing firearms when not in use saves lives, and we encourage everyone to continue periodically evaluating their storage practices as their lifestyles and preferences change.”

While this national safety awareness campaign has reached its conclusion, the conversation surrounding the secure storage of firearms is a continuous endeavor. NSSF is committed to informing firearm owners and their families about the steps they can take to ensure firearms are securely stored and help prevent suicide. These steps include:

  • The knowledge that suicide is preventable.
  • Trust your gut and connect with someone you’re worried about.
  • Be aware if you or someone you know is struggling, call/text/chat the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Know that securely storing firearms when not in use provides time and distance for someone in a moment of crisis. This time provides space for immediate thoughts of suicide to pass, enabling someone in crisis the opportunity to seek support.

GunStorageCheck.org remains available as a trusted yearlong resource for gun owners, providing helpful information on firearm storage options to fit any use or lifestyle, as well as additional resources to promote safety in the home.

Gun Storage Check Week will return in 2027: June 1–7 in National Safety Month, and Sept. 1–7 in National Suicide Prevention Month.

Protect Your Bow, Deploy the Decoys: Flambeau Gear for the Whitetail Hunter

Protect Your Bow, Deploy the Decoys: Flambeau Gear for the Whitetail Hunter

Midfield, OH (SEPT 10, 2026) – A successful whitetail hunt can come down to a few seconds, but those seconds are built on preparation. By September, the bow should be tuned and ready for the field, and the hunting strategy should focus on influencing how deer approach the stand. The Flambeau Outdoors® Formula Bow Case and Boss Buck and Boss Babe decoys address two very different parts of that equation: protecting the equipment that gets you to the hunt and creating a believable visual encounter once you’re there.

The Formula Bow Case is specifically designed to protect a compound bow during transport and storage. Its Adjustable Bow Security A.B.S. suspension system free-floats critical components such as the cams, cables, string, and sight, preventing contact with the case. Hunters who painstakingly tune their bows appreciate the multiple layers of protection the Formula Bow Case provides.

Sometimes the road to success is full of bumps, and the hard-shell case takes the abuse of a rough ride while protecting the contents inside. When the hunt takes place in a far-flung location, the automatic pressure-release valve keeps the air pressure equalized. The Formula Bow Case fits most makes and models of bows under 40 inches in overall length, or up to 43 inches without the accessory pouch.

Now that the bow is protected, the next challenge is creating a believable social scenario for a dominant buck. The Flambeau Boss Buck and Boss Babe create a natural-looking encounter designed to encourage bucks to investigate and hold their attention.

Based on award-winning Chris Schiller’s deer sculpture, the Boss Buck and Boss Babe feature realistic body shape and coloration. The adjustable ears change the mood, including alert, relaxed, and sneaking positions, mimicking a deer’s natural body language. Together, these details help create a visual message for incoming deer.

Hunters can represent a territorial challenge with the Boss Buck, while Boss Babe can be used either standing or bedded by removing the legs. The breakdown design makes transportation and storage practical, while the decoys can be used individually or together to create multiple combinations depending on the phase of the rut.

The goal isn’t simply to carry more gear into the woods. It’s to arrive with equipment intact and sighted in, and a hunting setup designed to entice big bucks.


About Flambeau Outdoors

Flambeau Outdoors has been a leader in the outdoor industry for over 75 years, providing innovative storage, hunting, and fishing solutions for sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts. From tackle boxes and weapon cases to decoys and hunting accessories, Flambeau Outdoors delivers durable, high-quality gear designed to withstand the elements.

New Partnership: Chevalier Advertising & TACRIG!

Oregon-Based Marketing Agency to Lead Digital Strategy, Content and Growth Initiatives for Modular Carry System Brand

SHERWOOD, OR. — September 2026 — Chevalier Advertising, a full-service marketing agency specializing in the hunting, shooting, tactical and outdoor industries, has been named Agency of Record for TACRIG, a manufacturer of highly modular concealed and open carry systems.

The partnership brings together TACRIG’s innovative approach to firearm carry with Chevalier Advertising’s industry-specific marketing expertise. As part of the initial engagement, Chevalier will lead efforts to enhance and optimize the TACRIG website with a focus on improving the user experience, strengthening the brand’s digital presence, developing compelling content and creating a more effective path from product discovery to purchase.

TACRIG’s modular system is designed around interchangeable firearm shells and mounting platforms, allowing users to configure their carry setup for different applications while maintaining the same core system. TACRIG shells are custom ordered and precision molded for individual firearms and are designed to accommodate optics, suppressor height sights and threaded barrels. The company offers both inside-the-waistband (IWB) and outside-the-waistband (OWB) configurations, as well as bino and chest harnesses.

“TACRIG has built something very different in the holster market, and we believe the opportunity is to do a better job communicating that difference to the consumer,” said Tim Silva, President of TACRIG. “Chevalier understands our industry, understands our customer and, just as importantly, understands how to turn a great product into a great brand experience. We’re excited to have them helping us take TACRIG to the next level.”

The initial phase of the relationship will center on the TACRIG ecommerce experience, including website enhancements, content development, product presentation and conversion-focused improvements. As the partnership develops, Chevalier’s role will expand to include public relations, media planning and buying, social media management and additional marketing initiatives designed to increase TACRIG’s brand awareness and sales.

“TACRIG has a compelling story and a product platform that deserves greater visibility in the market,” said Greg Chevalier, President of Chevalier Advertising. “Our job is to make sure consumers understand what makes TACRIG different, why the modular system matters and how it can fit into the way they actually carry. We’re looking forward to building that story across the website, content, media and public relations while helping TACRIG grow the business.”

TACRIG’s FLEX system is built around a tool-free modular design that allows users to switch between carry configurations and firearm shells without purchasing an entirely new holster system. The company uses U.S.-made Boltaron for its shells and precision molds each shell based on 3D scans of individual firearms.

The TACRIG partnership expands Chevalier Advertising’s portfolio of brands within the shooting and tactical marketplace. The agency specializes in marketing, ecommerce, content, public relations, paid media and other growth initiatives for companies serving the outdoor, hunting, shooting and law enforcement industries.

Winchester Contributes Over $500,000 to Ducks Unlimited Conservation for a Continent Campaign

Winchester Contributes Over $500,000 to Ducks Unlimited Conservation for a Continent Campaign

CLAYTON, MO (September 10, 2026) —Winchester announces that it contributed more than $500,000 over the past seven years to the historic Ducks Unlimited Conservation for a Continent Campaign. The campaign generated an unprecedented $4.06 billion for continental conservation and stands as the most ambitious conservation campaign ever undertaken on behalf of North America’s wetlands and waterfowl.
Winchester serves as the Official Ammunition of Ducks Unlimited. Over the last 30 years, Winchester has maintained a vital partnership with DU, providing critical funding and support for wetlands conservation that helps ensure the future of waterfowl and their habitat. Every box of Winchester waterfowl ammunition proudly showcases the DU logo and promotes its mission
“The work that Ducks Unlimited does for wetlands conservation has a tremendous impact on habitat that directly benefits waterfowl and other wildlife,” said Jason Gilbertson, Senior Director of Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “The Conservation for a Continent Campaign is a significant achievement, and Winchester is honored to be recognized as a major supporter.”
Launched in 2019, the Conservation for a Continent campaign set a goal to secure $3 billion in support of DU’s mission, a target that supporters ultimately surpassed. Building on the foundation of 15 million acres conserved in North America at the time of the campaign’s launch, the effort ultimately helped DU surpass 20 million acres of wetlands and associated habitat conserved since 1937, expanding DU’s conservation legacy to an extraordinary scale.
The $4.06 billion is being invested in landscape-level conservation across North America to safeguard breeding grounds, migration corridors, and wintering habitats that waterfowl and wildlife depend on.

Serial No. 1 Set Goes to Auction for GOA

Henry_Made_in_America_email_header

Henry Repeating Arms Donates Serial No. 1 of All Three America’s 250th Anniversary Rifles to Benefit Gun Owners of America

America’s 250th Anniversary Rifles

All three models plus 5,400 rounds of ammunition sell as a single lot on GunBroker September 6 through 20, with 100% of proceeds funding the organization’s education and litigation


RICE LAKE, Wis., September 9, 2026 — Henry Repeating Arms

has donated serial number 1 of all three models in its America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition collection to benefit Gun Owners of America (GOA). The donation is made through the company’s charitable program, Guns For Great Causes, and 100% of the winning bid goes to Gun Owners Foundation, the GOA nonprofit that funds and litigates the organization’s court cases. The three rifles, along with 5,400 rounds of commemorative ammunition donated by The Kinetic Group, sell as a single lot on GunBroker.com (item #1202022622).

Bidding opens at $3,999 and closes Sunday, September 20 at 8:00 PM CT. These have never been offered before as a complete set at any price.

The lot includes the H001TL-250 rifle in .22 S/L/LR, the H001Y-250 Youth Model in .22 S/L/LR, and the H010BG-250 rifle in .45-70 Gov’t. Each carries serial number 1, making the set the first example of every model in the collection.

The ammunition from The Kinetic Group includes two cases of Federal Henry Birthday Boy .45-70 Gov’t, 400 rounds in total, and two cases of 250th Anniversary Edition Champion .22 LR, 5,000 rounds in total.

The collection was introduced in 2026 to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. All three models share a waving American flag applied in full-color red, white, and blue Cerakote, Fancy-grade American walnut hand-selected for grain and figure, a polished nickel buttplate, and a 250 anniversary logo engraved and silver-filled into the corner of the buttstock.

“We build firearms because of a right that people have had to defend in federal court, over and over, to keep,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Gun Owners of America does that work. We held serial number 1 of this entire collection until the right cause came along, and this is it.”

Gun Owners of America is a grassroots organization representing more than two million members and activists. In August 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled in a case brought by GOA and Gun Owners Foundation that key National Firearms Act registration requirements are unconstitutional as applied to items Congress recently reduced to a $0 tax, and blocked the ATF from enforcing them against the plaintiffs, their members, and their customers. Cases like that take years, and they take money. This auction helps fund the next one.

The three rifles are new and unfired in original factory packaging and will not be sold separately. As with any firearm transaction, delivery is made through the winning bidder’s licensed federal firearms dealer, and the buyer is responsible for confirming legality in their jurisdiction.

Additional auction details are available at https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1202022622.

Your African Safari Starts Before You Reach Safari Camp

Your African Safari Starts Before You Reach Safari Camp

KEMPTON PARK, South Africa (Sept. 9, 2026) — Travelers can spend months—sometimes years—planning an African safari. They research destinations, choose safari operators, study wildlife, carefully select their gear, and count down the days until they finally leave for Africa.

Yet one important part of the journey is often overlooked: what happens after the plane lands.
After a long international flight, even a connecting flight before the long-haul leg, arriving in South Africa should be exciting. But without proper planning, navigating an unfamiliar airport, collecting luggage and equipment, arranging transportation, and coordinating the next leg of the journey can quickly become stressful.

Whether traveling to Africa for a hunting safari, a photographic safari, a wildlife adventure, or simply the experience of a lifetime, planning the arrival and departure can be every bit as important as planning the safari itself.

For years, Afton Safari Lodge has welcomed international safari travelers to South Africa, offering accommodations, hospitality, and travel services designed to make the transition from international travel to a safari as seamless as possible.

“An African safari should be an experience you enjoy from the moment you arrive,” said Richard Lendrum owner of Afton Safari Lodge. “Our goal is to reduce the uncertainty during those first hours in Africa so our guests can relax and begin enjoying the experience they have traveled so far to have.”


Plan Beyond Safari Camp
Much of the preparation for an African safari understandably focuses on what happens once travelers reach their destination. But there are several questions that should be addressed well before departure.

Who will meet you at the airport? How will you get to your accommodations? When and where will you meet your safari operator? Will you continue by vehicle or catch another flight? What happens if your international flight is delayed?
Knowing those answers before leaving home can make the difference between a stressful arrival and an enjoyable start to the safari.

With locations in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Afton Safari Lodge offers airport meet-and-greet assistance, transfers, accommodations, meals, and other travel services for international safari guests.
Depending on their itinerary, guests should spend the night at Afton for a few reasons: to acclimate after the journey, to have spare time if there is a flight delay or lost luggage, or simply to soak up the start of your safari. The next morning, the safari operator can collect you, or you can continue to another flight.

Afton can serve as a comfortable transition point before traveling overland to your final destination.

For hunters traveling with firearms, Afton also has the most extensive experience assisting with the Southern African portion of firearm travel and the required arrival procedures. Because airline policies and government requirements can change, travelers bringing firearms should plan well in advance and confirm current requirements before departure.

Give Yourself Time to Transition
There is also something to be said for simply slowing down. After traveling thousands of miles and spending many hours aboard an aircraft, immediately starting another long flight or drive can make the first day of a long-awaited safari unnecessarily exhausting.

An overnight stay allows time to enjoy a good meal, get some sleep, reorganize luggage and equipment, and start the next morning rested and ready for the adventure ahead. Afton Safari Lodge provides that transition from international travel to the African experience.

Guests can relax, enjoy South African hospitality, and wake up ready for whatever their safari holds—whether that means tracking game through the bush, photographing elephants at a waterhole, searching for Africa’s remarkable birdlife, or simply experiencing the landscapes, wildlife, and cultures that make the continent so extraordinary.

The same philosophy applies at the end of the safari. Rather than rushing directly from the safari camp to an international departure, travelers can add extra time to their itinerary to rest and regroup before heading home.

For those traveling through Cape Town, the itinerary can also provide an opportunity to add several days before or after the safari to explore the Cape and surrounding region. Sightseeing, wildlife viewing, dining, wine country and other experiences can turn a safari into an even broader African adventure.

“Your safari isn’t only the days you spend in camp,” Lendrum added. “It’s the entire journey. We want our guests to feel that their African experience begins the moment they arrive.”

For anyone preparing for an African safari, perhaps the most important planning advice is also the simplest:
Don’t just plan the safari. Plan the journey.

Afton Safari Lodge is a welcoming safari-style guest lodge in South Africa designed to provide travelers—especially hunters and safari-goers—with a seamless and comfortable transition into and out of their African adventures. It has convenient locations in Johannesburg and Cape Town near major airports. The Johannesburg property, situated in Kempton Park just minutes from O.R. Tambo International Airport, specializes in assisting international arrivals with services like meet-and-greet support, firearm permit guidance, and secure transportation, while offering a relaxed lodge atmosphere. The Cape Town location in the quiet suburb of Pinelands provides a tranquil guesthouse-style experience close to attractions such as Table Mountain, combining comfortable accommodations, peaceful surroundings, and personalized hospitality. Afton Safari Lodge is an ideal, well-managed starting or ending point for travel throughout South Africa.

Athlon Optics Expands Rangecraft Velocity PRO Capabilities with Major Athlon Ballistics App Updates

Athlon Optics Expands Rangecraft Velocity PRO Capabilities with Major Athlon Ballistics App Updates

Lenexa, KS (Sept 8, 2026) – Athlon Optics continues to enhance the Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph experience with significant updates to the Athlon Ballistics mobile app and chronograph firmware. Designed to provide shooters with more data visibility, streamlined session management, and improved device connectivity, the latest app enhancements make it easier than ever to capture, analyze, and organize velocity data in the field.

The Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph already delivers accurate velocity measurements for rifles, pistols, air guns, shotguns, bows, and crossbows through advanced Doppler radar technology. Now, with expanded functionality in the Athlon Ballistics App, shooters can access more information in real time and gain deeper insights into their shooting performance.

For backcountry and long-range hunters, that expanded data set answers a question a tight group at 100 yards never fully can: how fast is a given load actually moving once it leaves the barrel? A rifle can print a tight cluster at 100 yards and still precisely impact a distant target when the velocity differs from the number on the ammo box by 50 to 100 feet per second or more, since advertised figures come from a test barrel of a specific length and don’t account for an individual rifle’s barrel length, barrel condition, or the day’s temperature. At 100 yards, that gap is invisible on paper. Stretch the same shot to 400 or 600 yards, the ranges where many backcountry elk and mule deer opportunities present themselves, and a ballistic calculator running on an assumed velocity instead of a chronographed one can be off by several inches of drop at the closer distance and well over a foot at the longer one, even from a rifle that is grouping perfectly.

That is precisely the gap the Rangecraft Velocity PRO is built to close, and where the latest Athlon Ballistics App updates add the most value. Instead of estimating, hunters can chronograph their actual load and get true muzzle velocity along with shot-to-shot consistency in the form of standard deviation and extreme spread, the exact inputs a ballistic app needs to build an accurate drop chart for the ammunition they are actually carrying into the field rather than a manufacturer’s average. With the new app enhancements, that data is easier than ever to capture and put to use during load development, well before the season opens.

One of the most notable additions is a live view feature, which allows velocity data to be displayed simultaneously on both the chronograph and a connected mobile device. This real-time display gives shooters greater flexibility when viewing shot data at the bench, on the range, or during load development sessions. Users can also enable audible velocity readouts through their smartphone, Bluetooth hearing protection, or wireless earbuds, allowing them to receive shot information without taking their eyes off the firearm or target.

The updated app also features improved connectivity for older phones, providing a more reliable connection experience between the Velocity PRO and the mobile app. User interface enhancements throughout the application create a more intuitive workflow for reviewing and managing shooting data.

For reloaders and precision shooters, the addition of session velocity graphs provides a powerful new analysis tool. Each shooting session now includes a visual line graph that displays velocity trends over time, making it easier to identify consistency, evaluate load performance, and track changes across shot strings–information that translates directly into a more reliable ballistic profile for hunters building a load ahead of an extended-range shot.

Session management has also been expanded with the ability to compare and merge multiple shooting sessions directly within the app. This feature allows users to combine related datasets into a single session for simplified record keeping and more comprehensive performance analysis.

The Athlon Ballistics App is available for iOS and Android devices and supports the Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph through Bluetooth. Existing users can access the latest features by updating the app through their device’s app store.

Key New App Features:

  • Displaying shot data simultaneously on the chronograph and mobile device
  • Audible velocity readouts through smartphones, Bluetooth hearing protection, and wireless earbuds
  • Enhanced device connectivity and communication reliability
  • Updated user interface for improved navigation and usability
  • Session velocity trend graphs for advanced performance analysis
  • Session merging capabilities for streamlined data management
  • Bluetooth synchronization with the Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph

Backyard to Backcountry: NEBO, THAW, and TRUE Power Every Outdoor Experience

Backyard to Backcountry: NEBO, THAW, and TRUE Power Every Outdoor Experience

Ft. Worth, TX (September 8, 2026) – From cheering on the sidelines and grilling in the backyard to venturing into the backcountry or launching at first light, outdoor living requires preparation, flexibility, and the right gear. Whether it’s warmth on a cold morning, tools to solve the unexpected, or light that lasts deep into the night, NEBO, THAW, and TRUE deliver the essentials that turn ordinary moments into lasting memories.

Warmth When the Temperature Drops

A crisp fall tailgate, a late-season fishing trip, or a chilly mountain campsite can quickly go from fun to miserable without the proper preparation. That’s where THAW excels. With a complete line of personal heating products, THAW ensures comfort and safety in cold conditions, whether cheering from the bleachers or huddling around a tent. Rechargeable, reliable, and built to withstand wind, rain, or sleet, THAW’s products have become a trusted companion for those who know the outdoors doesn’t pause when the weather turns. From stadium seats to remote campsites, THAW helps keep the focus on the experience, not the cold.

Tools That Adapt to Every Setting

Outdoor life demands versatility, and TRUE builds tools with precisely that in mind. Around the campsite, TRUE’s multi-functional gear keeps tents standing, fires burning, and repairs handled with ease. In the backyard or at the grill, TRUE’s precision kitchen and BBQ tools transform preparation into a craft, built to handle everything from delicate cuts to heavy-duty trimming. Each tool is made from premium, corrosion-resistant materials with ergonomic grips that perform in wet, gloved, or greasy hands. Designed to work—not sit idle—TRUE tools deliver reliability whether slicing a steak, cutting rope, or fixing gear after a long day outdoors.

Light and Power for the Outdoors

Few things matter more outdoors than dependable lighting and power. NEBO provides portable solutions that keep adventures moving forward. For boaters, NEBO ensures safety from launch to dock, with illumination for early mornings, late nights, and unexpected conditions on the water. For campers and backyard explorers, NEBO’s rechargeable lights and backup power options provide confidence when the sun goes down or when devices need a charge. Compact, durable, and powerful, NEBO products are designed to ensure the focus stays on the adventure, not the limitations of the gear.

Prepared for Every Moment

Whether gathered with friends for a backyard barbecue, bundled up on the sidelines, or trekking miles from the nearest road, being prepared is the difference between a ruined outing and a memorable one. THAW keeps the cold at bay, TRUE ensures the right tool is always within reach, and NEBO provides the power and light needed to stay safe and connected. Together, they equip outdoor enthusiasts with the confidence to embrace every season and every setting.

The outdoors will always be unpredictable, from backyard to backcountry. But with the right gear, every moment becomes an opportunity to enjoy, connect, and create lasting stories.

Hi Mountain Seasonings Celebrates National Double Cheeseburger Day and National Cheeseburger Day with Six Gourmet Burger Seasonings


Hi Mountain Seasonings Celebrates National Double Cheeseburger Day and National Cheeseburger Day with Six Gourmet Burger Seasonings

RIVERTON, Wyo. (Sept. 8, 2026) — September brings two of America’s favorite food holidays, giving burger lovers twice the reason to fire up the grill. National Double Cheeseburger Day is celebrated on September 15, followed by National Cheeseburger Day on September 18. Hi Mountain Seasonings invites backyard grill masters to celebrate both occasions with its line of Gourmet Burger Seasonings.

While historians continue to debate who deserves credit for creating the first hamburger and cheeseburger, one thing is certain—the cheeseburger has become one of America’s most iconic comfort foods.

Some credit Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, with serving one of America’s first hamburgers in 1900, while others point to Lionel Sternberger, who reportedly created the cheeseburger in 1926 by placing a slice of cheese on a sizzling hamburger at his father’s California sandwich shop. Other restaurants in California, Kentucky, and Colorado have also laid claim to the invention, underscoring that the cheeseburger’s history is almost as rich as its flavor.

“The cheeseburger has earned its place as an American classic because it’s simple, satisfying and endlessly customizable,” said Hans Hummel, President of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “Whether you prefer a traditional cheeseburger, a towering double cheeseburger or your own signature creation, the seasoning is what transforms a good burger into an unforgettable one.”

Hi Mountain Seasonings makes it easy to create restaurant-quality burgers at home with six bold Gourmet Burger Seasonings:
• Chipotle Burger Seasoning – A smoky blend with just the right amount of southwestern heat.
• Buffalo Wing Burger Seasoning – Tangy, zesty flavor inspired by everyone’s favorite wings.
• Fiesta Salsa Burger Seasoning – Southwestern spices with vibrant salsa-inspired flavor.
• Garlic Pepper Burger Seasoning – A savory blend of garlic and cracked pepper for timeless appeal.
• Hickory Burger Seasoning – Rich hickory smoke flavor that delivers backyard barbecue taste.
• Zesty Western Burger Seasoning – A robust blend of western-inspired herbs and spices with a bold finish.

Whether grilling classic beef burgers or experimenting with bison, elk, venison, turkey, or plant-based patties, Hi Mountain’s Gourmet Burger Seasonings deliver the perfect finishing touch. Simply season the meat before grilling, add your favorite cheese, pile on fresh toppings, and enjoy a burger worthy of celebration.

For burger enthusiasts looking to elevate the experience even further, remember that toppings are only limited by your imagination. From crispy bacon and sautéed mushrooms to avocado, caramelized onions or jalapeños, every great burger begins with exceptional seasoning.

This September 15 and 18, gather family and friends, fire up the grill, and celebrate America’s favorite sandwich with Hi Mountain Seasonings Gourmet Burger Seasonings.

Third Circuit Allows NSSF Challenge to N.J.’s ‘Reasonable Controls’ Law

NSSF

September 8, 2026

Third Circuit Allows NSSF Challenge to N.J.’s ‘Reasonable Controls’ Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s decision in NSSF v. Attorney General New Jersey, holding that NSSF has standing to challenge New Jersey’s “reasonable controls” law (A1765) and reversing a lower court’s decision that it was required to abstain from ruling on the merits of NSSF’s lawsuit because the New Jersey attorney general brought an enforcement action against one of its 10,000 members.

A previous challenge to the law by NSSF was dismissed for lack of standing because the law had yet to be enforced against a member company, making the lawsuit premature. This time, a lower court held that it could not reach the merits of the case by invoking the Younger Abstention Doctrine, a legal rule that cautions federal courts from interfering with ongoing state court proceedings because the New Jersey attorney general was enforcing the law. That effectively barred NSSF from the courthouse doors for being too late. The Third Circuit rejected New Jersey’s argument.

“New Jersey’s proposed rule would create a Catch-22,” the Third Circuit decision reads. “If the association sued before the enforcement action against one of its members, it would be dismissed for lack of standing, like in NSSF I. If it sued after the enforcement action, it would be dismissed under Younger. Because NSSF, and its members, are ‘entitled to [their] own day in court,’ we reject New Jersey’s proposed rule.”

“This is a tremendous legal hurdle that has been cleared to permit our challenge to be heard in court. This law clearly violates the bipartisan Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and is unconstitutional in many respects,” explained Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The challenge to this law has been tortured and the previous frustrations to demonstrate that this state law attempts to circumvent federal law can now move forward. We are confident that New Jersey’s naked attempt to undermine the will of Congress and bankrupt firearm manufacturers and sellers through frivolous lawsuits will not stand legal review.”

NSSF filed an amended complaint in February 2025 against New Jersey’s anti-Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) law that is not consistent with the U.S. Constitution. NSSF filed a motion to reopen the case and for leave to file an amended complaint. The motion and amended complaint were filed after New Jersey’s attorney general brought lawsuits against several industry members, including GLOCK, Inc. The state alleged the company is responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms when criminals modify and alter well-designed and lawfully-sold GLOCK pistols by illegally obtaining, possessing and installing a machinegun conversion device (MCD) on the handgun.

NSSF previously sued to block New Jersey’s law from taking effect and initially obtained a preliminary injunction barring the state from enforcing the law against NSSF members, but that challenge was dismissed on appeal when a prior three-judge panel for the Third Circuit determined that NSSF lacked standing at the time to challenge the law because it had not yet been enforced. New Jersey’s attorney general disavowed to the appellate court that it had any intention of suing firearm manufacturers for engaging in lawful commerce or placing liability on firearm manufacturers for the criminal misconduct of third parties beyond their control. They promised to only sue for a company’s own misconduct.

That was demonstrably false.

NSSF’s amended complaint argues that New Jersey’s public nuisance law flouts the will of Congress because it is preempted by the bipartisan PLCAA. Additionally, it violates the First Amendment, Second Amendment, 14th Amendment Due Process Clause and the Commerce Clause.

Keane said, “NSSF looks forward to finally having its day in Court. Attorney General Jennifer Davenport’s lawsuits against GLOCK and SIG SAUER and other industry members under the state’s ‘reasonable control’ law are the very definition of ‘lawfare.’ The statute should be struck down as unconstitutional.”



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.
