NEWINGTON, N.H., (June 8, 2026) – SIG SAUER, an industry-leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, optics, and ammunition, announced today the completion of the Aiming For Zero Charity Falling Steel Match, hosted at the SIG SAUER Academy in Epping, NH, and raising approximately $30,000 to help end veteran suicide. Held May 29 – 31, the competitive event brought together members of the military, law enforcement, and shooting community, all unified toward one cause and with proceeds supporting not-for-profits Ruck Up, Easter Seals NH Military and Veterans Campus, and the Travis Mills Foundation.
“The work being done by the SIG SAUER Charitable Foundation helps to strengthen the organizations and communities dedicated to serving those who have sacrificed so much for our nation,” said Chris Tessier, President at Aiming For Zero. “At Aiming For Zero, we believe that meaningful change happens when organizations come together with a shared commitment to service, connection, and community. Through the Foundation’s generosity, we are able to expand our efforts to combat veteran suicide, foster camaraderie, and build lasting support networks for veterans and their families. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and investment in the lives of those who have worn the uniform and continue to serve our communities every day.”
The SIG SAUER Charitable Foundation (SSCF) provided support and resources to Aiming For Zero for the event. Aiming For Zero’s mission is to eliminate veteran suicide by fostering a supportive network through competitive shooting events and proactive engagement with veterans and their families. In addition to providing premium firearms, optics, and ammunition to support the military’s mission, the SIG SAUER workforce is one-third veteran.
“The SIG SAUER Academy in Epping, New Hampshire, is proud to provide world-class firearms training, safety education, and professional development programs,” said Steven Gilcreast, Director of Strategy and Planning, SIG SAUER Academy. “Through the support of the SIG SAUER Charitable Foundation, we were honored to host Aiming For Zero and help create greater awareness to the critical issue of veteran and first responder suicide prevention. By bringing together veterans, community partners, and veterans service organizations, we are helping to strengthen support networks and ensure that those who have served know they are not alone.”
In addition to providing use of the SIG SAUER Academy range and on-site event support, SIG SAUER contributed firearms and product donations to support raffle prizes and fundraising efforts. Through the support of SSCF, the event also brought together local veteran service organizations to increase awareness, foster collaboration, and strengthen the network of resources available to veterans, first responders, and their families. The partnership with Aiming For Zero reflects the ongoing commitment by SIG SAUER to support organizations that make a meaningful impact in the communities they serve.

Barrett® Developing MRAD® MK 22™ 6.8x51mm Capability

Posted on Tuesday, 9 June, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Barrett® Developing MRAD® MK 22™ 6.8x51mm Capability

Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc. today announced the ongoing development and evaluation of a 6.8x51mm caliber conversion kit for the Barrett MRAD MK 22 Advanced Sniper Rifle system fielded by the U.S. Army.

The new caliber conversion kit is being developed to support the high-pressure, high-performance 6.8x51mm cartridge used across the U.S. Army’s next-generation small arms platforms, including the M7 Rifle, M250 Automatic Rifle and M157 Fire Control system. The conversion kit is intended to provide increased flexibility for warfighters seeking to employ the enhanced terminal performance characteristics of 6.8x51mm ammunition within the in-service MK 22 sniper system.

Barrett is conducting testing and evaluation activities focused on maturing the barrel kit and magazine configuration necessary for reliable and effective employment of the 6.8x51mm cartridge in the MK 22 platform. The development effort is being independently funded and executed by Barrett to ensure the capability is available should operational requirements emerge for the enhanced performance offered by both general purpose and special purpose 6.8x51mm ammunition types.

Barrett is currently testing and evaluating a 6.8x51mm caliber conversion kit for the MRAD MK 22 sniper system, expanding capability options for future mission requirements.

In addition to operational ammunition variants, the MRAD MK 22 6.8x51mm conversion kit is also being designed to function effectively with reduced-range training ammunition, supporting both combat capability and training flexibility.

“Barrett remains focused on ensuring the warfighter maintains a decisive capability advantage through continued innovation and adaptation of proven sniper systems,” said Ryan Krantz, Vice President of Business Development & Sales for Barrett. “As ammunition technology and battlefield requirements evolve, Barrett is committed to remaining the leader in long range by delivering adaptable, mission-ready solutions for the Department of War.”

Further details regarding the Barrett MRAD MK 22 6.8x51mm caliber conversion kit will be released as testing and evaluation activities continue.

The CURVBEAM 850 Flex design focuses on comfort. The BackBalance Fit™ design positions the battery at the rear, evenly distributing weight while reducing bounce and fatigue during prolonged use.

New Slate of Business Partnerships Established Following the Last Blue Magic Netherlands Event

SAN DIEGO – 08 June 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA‑ASI) is deepening its footprint in the Dutch innovation ecosystem, with new investments in six Netherlands-based technology companies through its Blue Magic Netherlands (BMN) venturing initiative.

These new partnerships follow the latest BMN event in Eindhoven, a fast-paced, “shark tank”-style forum in which Dutch startups and scaleups pitched breakthrough technologies directly to GA‑ASI decision makers. The most recent edition drew more than 350 attendees from across the country’s aerospace, defense, and high-tech communities.

Building on the success of prior events, GA‑ASI has selected six Dutch companies for new investment and collaboration.

“Blue Magic Netherlands is our window into the Dutch innovation ecosystem,” said Brad Lunn, Managing Director, GA‑ASI. “We are not just scouting ideas. We are deploying capital, engineering resources, and access to platforms to help these companies scale. We’re making these new investments because it is clear to us that the Netherlands is one of the most dynamic technology hubs in Europe.”

The six new GA‑ASI portfolio companies are:

OPT/NET B.V. – GA-ASI, alongside its GA-Intelligence affiliate, will be working with OPT/NET to explore collaboration opportunities for a variety of AI-related missions, including drone swarm management and dark vessel detection.

Vaeridion B.V. – GA-ASI will be working with Vaeridion to evaluate their advanced battery pack technology for use in current and future GA-ASI platforms.

Touchwaves B.V. – GA-ASI will be evaluating Touchwaves’ haptic technology for use in remotely piloted UAS environments to determine the potential benefits to long-duration missions and aircrew information overload.

FDCL Defence B.V. – GA-ASI and GA-Intelligence will be working with Fiducial to explore the effectiveness of the company’s technology toward massively scaled low-cost future platforms.

Vydar Commercial B.V. – GA-ASI will evaluate Vydar’s technology in a variety of relevant GPS-denied environments and GA-ASI and GA-EMS platforms.

Emproof B.V. – GA-ASI will evaluate the effectiveness of Emproof’s data protection technology for applicability to current and future GA-ASI platforms.

GA‑ASI expects to announce additional investments from the 2025 BMN cohort in the coming months, as technical evaluations and co‑development discussions progress.

See Optac™ and the Launch of Spine™ at Eurosatory 2026

Posted on Tuesday, 9 June, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

MOHOC will be exhibiting at Eurosatory 2026, showcasing Optac™ UAV optics and introducing Spine™, a new cable management solution for tactical systems.
Building on the successful launch at SOF Week in Tampa, the new Optac™ drone camera will be introduced to the international market in Paris. Leveraging MOHOC’s proven imaging dominance in tactical helmet cameras, Optac redefines the visual edge in FPV drone optics.
Detect, acquire, track, and engage targets with confidence. Optac™ delivers daylight, low-light, and infrared imaging in a single camera, all while meeting NDAA, SWaP, and affordability requirements increasingly demanded across NATO and allied UAV programs.

MOHOC Spine Launches At Eurosatory

Alongside Optac™, MOHOC will introduce Spine™.
Loose cables create snag hazards, disconnect power and data connections, and complicate body-worn systems. Spine™ encloses, organizes, and secures tactical cabling, keeping connections low profile, protected, and mission ready on helmets, load-bearing equipment, packs, and other operational platforms.
Originally designed for MOHOC® 2 Cameras, Spine™ evolved into a universal cable management solution. It is flexible, modular, segmented, and supports a wide range of commercial and MIL-SPEC cabling across many tactical electronics.
Visitors to the MOHOC booth will be able to see both systems and discuss their application with our team.
To arrange a meeting in advance, please contact:

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

Modern drone warfare increasingly depends on systems that can operate in heavily contested electronic environments. One of the biggest challenges facing long-range unmanned platforms today is reliance on GPS signals, which can be disrupted or manipulated through jamming and electronic warfare systems. At the same time, militaries are searching for lower-cost alternatives to expensive cruise missiles that can still deliver precision strike capability over extended distances.

A newly tested autonomous strike drone (SkyLance by Rotron Aerospace) is being positioned as a part of that shift. The platform recently completed a live-fire demonstration intended to validate its propulsion and flight systems under operational conditions. Designed as a one-way strike system, the drone is intended for missions where forces need expendable long-range attack capability without the cost associated with conventional guided munitions.

The aircraft uses an onboard autonomous navigation system designed to function in GPS-denied environments. According to Interesting Engineering, instead of depending entirely on satellite positioning, it can continue operating in electronically contested conditions using internal guidance and targeting capabilities. This addresses a growing operational concern highlighted by recent conflicts, where electronic interference has repeatedly disrupted conventional drone operations.

Another key aspect of the design is its propulsion system. The drone uses a proprietary engine architecture developed to improve endurance and efficiency while keeping operational costs relatively low. Although exact performance specifications were not disclosed, the platform is intended to support long-range missions while remaining affordable enough for larger-scale deployment.

The system can also integrate with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance networks, allowing it to receive targeting information and support faster sensor-to-strike coordination. This type of connectivity is increasingly important as militaries move toward more distributed and networked operational models.

From a defense perspective, autonomous low-cost strike drones are becoming an important category of battlefield systems. Their relatively low price compared to traditional missiles allows forces to sustain operations at higher volume while preserving more expensive precision-guided inventories for specialized missions.

The broader trend reflects lessons drawn from recent conflicts, where mass-produced unmanned systems have demonstrated significant operational impact. As electronic warfare capabilities continue to evolve, drones designed for autonomy and resilience in degraded environments are likely to play an increasingly central role in future long-range strike operations.

Women’s Line Drops

Posted on Monday, 8 June, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NEW FOR 2026

Peak Performance for Female Hunters

ScentLok’s highly anticipated Women’s Ridge midseason jacket and pant system is online and available for immediate purchase

MUSKEGON, Mich. (June 5, 2026) – ScentLok’s Ridge series first shook up the industry with a lone, instantly iconic garment: the Ridge Hoodie. That single success sparked an entire technical midseason line — and today, the evolution continues with the immediate availability of the Women’s Ridge Jacket and Pant.

Purpose-built for women who refuse to compromise on fit or function, this system mirrors the elite performance of the men’s line while delivering a superior, agile fit. The collection integrates an athletic silhouette with ScentLok’s most potent technologies — blending patented Carbon Alloy^® scent adsorption and Silver Alloy™ antimicrobial protection with a weather-defying Precip-X™ finish to yield the finest midseason outerwear available for women afield.

“The Ridge system is the apex of midseason whitetail apparel with the perfect balance of feature-richness and action-ready benefits matched with ultra quiet fabrics,” said ScentLok Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “And now, we’re excited to build a matched jacket and pant entirely for women.”

ScentLok, with its “fabric first” mentality, originally started the Ridge series project by sourcing the perfect combination of premium fabrics. “We went with a stretchy, ultra-quiet, and smooth micro-tricot polyester exterior and lofted Berber fleece inner lining for warmth and comfort,” said Allie. “The warmth to weight ratio is exceptional. It’s also loftier and warmer than your standard midseason options on the market.”

Ridge’s polyester micro-tricot is an extremely fine warp‑knit fabric known for being smooth, quiet, slightly stretchy, and durable. The excellent polyester micro-tricot is also strong, dimensionally stable, quick‑drying, and resistant to shrinking and wrinkling.

Internally, Ridge’s berber fleece has a lofty, curly pile that traps still air, which boosts thermal insulation –noticeably warmer than smooth fleece or basic knit linings of similar thickness. Berber fleece also breathes well and wicks away moisture.

ScentLok Technologies

Carbon Alloy^®

Carbon Alloy combines treated carbon, activated carbon, and zeolite to absorb odors emitted by your body. Carbon Alloy utilizes natural coconut shell carbon, as it has the largest internal surface area of any carbon on earth. This massive surface area promotes the adsorption of the broadest scent molecule range. It innately secures these molecules and holds them until you reactivate your gear in a household dryer.

Silver Alloy™

Silver Alloy is based on a silver salt solution applied to the fabric to control the growth of bacteria in the harshest environments. This dyeable fiber will not wear out and lasts the life of the garment.

Precip-X™

Durable, hydrophobic fabric treatment that repels liquids and prevents stains, helping the fabric stay lighter, drier, and easier to clean. The clear formula does not alter the look or feel of the fabric, either, so camouflage patterns and face fabrics maintain their original appearance.

Midseason is typically the longest season. Fortify your hunting assortment with the new Ridge series.

Carbon Alloy^® technology for odor adsorption
Silver Alloy™ helps inhibit the growth of bacteria

Fastest Growing Rimfire Suppressor

Posted on Friday, 5 June, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Fastest Growing Rimfire Suppressor

Demand surges for the OG Suppressors Scorpius .22, an ultra-lightweight titanium suppressor that eliminates traditional maintenance headaches

SHEVLIN, MN (June 4, 2026) – The rimfire suppressor market has historically forced shooters to accept a frustrating compromise — endure heavy, high-maintenance designs or settle for fragile materials that complicate the ownership experience. OG Suppressors officially eliminated that trade-off with the Scorpius .22, an ultra-lightweight titanium suppressor that has rapidly transitioned from an underground favorite into one of the most sought-after rimfire cans on the market today.

The massive popularity surrounding the Scorpius .22 represents a radical shift away from outdated industry standards. While legacy rimfire silencers often rely on delicate aluminum components that restrict cleaning options — or complex, multi-piece baffle stacks prone to carbon-locking and seizing — the Scorpius utilizes premium materials and a monolithic internal architecture to give hunters, competitors, and recreational shooters a premium, hassle-free solution.

The ongoing market response underscores a widespread demand for this configuration. By integrating high-grade titanium with an advanced internal architecture, OG Suppressors delivered a suppressor that eliminates the systemic issues common to the category — disappearing on the muzzle while maintaining absolute structural and performance dominance downrange.

Feather-Light Footprint, Extreme Multi-Caliber Durability

Constructed entirely from premium, high-grade titanium, the Scorpius .22 achieves an astonishingly lean footprint — weighing in just under 2 ounces. This feather-light build ensures that host firearms maintain their natural balance, pointability, and handling characteristics, whether mounted on a precision rimfire rifle or a lightweight trail pistol.

This all-titanium construction directly addresses the durability shortcomings of common aluminum-baffle competitors. While aluminum alternatives are susceptible to rapid throat erosion and degradation under heavy use, the Scorpius .22 is built for rugged, high-volume sessions. It is fully rated to handle the intense pressures of a wide array of rimfire and small-bore cartridges — including .22 LR, .22 MAG, .17 HMR, and the high-velocity 5.7x28mm round.

Eliminating the Maintenance Nightmare

Beyond advanced material science, the Scorpius .22 solves the primary headache of rimfire shooting — heavy carbon and lead buildup. Traditional serviceable silencers require users to meticulously disassemble a series of intricate, threaded parts. After a few hundred rounds of dirty rimfire ammunition, these legacy designs frequently seize inside the tube, requiring specialized tools, forceful pounding, and tedious alignment during reassembly to avoid catastrophic baffle strikes.

OG Suppressors engineered completely past these structural flaws. The Scorpius features an advanced internal design with zero loose baffles or threaded internal components to tear down. Because it is built entirely from chemically inert titanium, shooters are not restricted to gentle, ineffective cleaners. When maintenance is required after high-volume sessions, the entire unit can simply be dropped directly into an ultrasonic cleaner or subjected to harsh, carbon-cutting solvents, which eliminates downtime and ensures the suppressor runs at peak performance indefinitely.

The industry chatter surrounding the Scorpius .22 is backed by hard, independent validation. The design famously rose to the top of its class during independent testing at the TBAC Sound Summit — outperforming more established suppressors and earning the title of the quietest rimfire suppressor tested. Coupled with its sleek aesthetic and zero-maintenance architecture, the Scorpius .22 stands as the new benchmark for modern rimfire performance.

Scorpius .22LR Technical Specifications:

Weight: 1.95 oz
Length: 5 inches
Material: 3D-Printed Grade 5 Titanium
Finish: Black Cerakote™
Mount: Direct Thread
Rating: .22LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, 5.7x28mm

NSSF Praises U.S. Senate FFL Protection Act Introduction

Image Source: (AP Images/Francis Chung/POLITICO)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, praises the bipartisan introduction of the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act, S. 4671, introduced by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). The bill would strengthen and enhance criminal penalties for thefts of firearms from federally licensed firearm retailers. This legislation sends a strong message to those violent criminals engaging in these illicit activities and helps provide for safer communities, assists law enforcement and protects the livelihoods of firearm retailers.

“This legislation is what true gun safety looks like. Congress is sending a clear message that the safety of our communities is nonnegotiable and targeting firearm retailers to steal guns in order to commit further crimes is intolerable,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for NSSF. “The firearm industry is grateful to Senator Lindsey Graham for providing those firearm retailers who follow the law the protection they deserve. This legislation assigns the responsibility for crime where it belongs – with the criminal. These are real solutions that make our communities safer.”

The FFL Protection Act builds on the efforts NSSF has taken to address robbery and burglary of firearms through the cooperative initiative with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on Operation Secure Store^®, one of several Real Solutions. Safer Communities^® firearm industry safety programs. As part of Operation Secure Store, NSSF matches ATF reward offers for information regarding these crimes that leads to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible and recovery of the stolen firearms. Additionally, NSSF helps educate firearm retailers on steps they can take to reduce the chance guns will be stolen from them during a burglary or robbery, and in cooperation with ATF, conducts retailer store security seminars, assists retailers with store security audits of their premises and endorses and promotes the use of security products like smash resistant display cases.

The most recently available ATF data shows Operation Secure Store is working. New data from ATF reveals a 60 percent drop in the number of firearms stolen during burglaries and robberies at firearm retailers. That also includes a more than 40 percent drop in the number of incidents.

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.

These assets can be shared on social media, printed for in-store events and used in e-newsletters to advance awareness of this important safety message.
Ranges & Retailers: In addition to utilizing assets in the promotional toolkit listed above, it’s not too late to host in-store events — such as a safety-focused sale or seminar to educate customers on the wide variety of secure storage options available to suit any need, lifestyle or budget. It’s always a good time to talk about safety with customers, and Gun Storage Check Week and National Safety Month provide natural tie-ins for conversations at the counter.
Gun Owners: Talking with friends and family about firearm safety and secure storage practices to prevent accidents, suicides and theft is paramount. To further engage with Gun Storage Check Week, visit GunStorageCheck.org and enter the Gun Storage Check Week Sweepstakes to win a B.O.S. Lock Fusion — a firearm safety device that mounts to a handgun’s accessory rail, combining a biometric slide lock with an integrated tactical light and green laser. Those who enter the sweepstakes will have an opportunity to improve their chances of winning by earning bonus entries after watching up to two firearm safety videos. The Sweepstakes ends June 7.

Explore Safety Resources

GunStorageCheck.org has resources available to help gun owners decide which locked storage device best meets their safety and accessibility needs.

Secure gun storage devices include:

Cable locks: Available free of charge through NSSF’s Project ChildSafe^®program (which has partnered with over 15,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide).
Lock boxes: a storage solution for guns kept for home security and in vehicles.
Lockable gun cases: ideal for security and portability.
Full-size gun safes and cabinets: for owners with multiple firearms to protect, including against fire and theft.

An Ongoing Conversation

As Gun Storage Check Week draws to a close, the conversation surrounding firearm safety and secure storage is a regular routine for gun owners. These practices prevent access by unsupervised children, individuals with suicidal thoughts and others who shouldn’t have access to firearms.

Gun Storage Check Week will return for its second annual observance, Sept. 1–7, during National Suicide Prevention Month.

A Review: Streamlight’s TLR-3 X

Posted on Thursday, 4 June, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Finding the perfect weapon-mounted light for an everyday carry (EDC) platform has traditionally been a game of compromises. If you wanted something that wouldn’t weigh down your sub-compact frame, you usually had to sacrifice raw power—or melt your credit card to get it. Enter the Streamlight TLR-3X.

Streamlight has officially cracked the code with this absolute game-changer, delivering an entry-level price point paired with undeniable, pro-level power. Specifically engineered for slimline carry profiles, this featherlight powerhouse packs a punch without adding bulk or disrupting the balance of your favorite rig. Whether you are clearing a dark hallway or navigating a dimly lit parking lot, the TLR-3X proves that you don’t have to break the bank to get rock-solid, dependable low-light capability.

Let’s get into why this budget-friendly tactical light is easily one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your civilian EDC platform!

D&M Holding Company Acquires Czech-Based EKOCHEM 94 s.r.o.

D&M Holding Company Acquires Czech-Based EKOCHEM 94 s.r.o.

TAMPA, FL (June 3, 2026) – D&M Holding Company, Inc. (D&M), the global leader in delivering complete solutions for ammunition, primer, and propellant manufacturing facilities, has acquired EKOCHEM 94 s.r.o. of the Czech Republic. This acquisition further strengthens D&M’s capabilities as the company continues to support the United States, NATO allies, Ukraine, and other friendly foreign governments seeking long-term ammunition independence.

Headquartered in Pardubice, Czech Republic, EKOCHEM 94 is an engineering, design, and industrial project company specializing in chemical, mechanical, and process industries, including for propellants and propellant raw materials. Its specialties include:

nitrocellulose production equipment
propellant production equipment
design of complete energetics
distillation systems
combustible cartridge case production lines
diethyl ether production lines
explosive-material processing equipment

“The acquisition of EKOCHEM 94 is a key part of our aggressive global growth strategy as we extend our footprint in Europe and beyond,” said Dan Powers, President and CEO, D&M Holding Company. “Escalating global conflicts and supply chain issues are driving the soaring demand for reliable supplies of ammunition, primers, and propellants. This geopolitical instability has created deep urgency among nations for ammunition independence. They want to manufacture it themselves, and we are uniquely positioned to help them do that.”

“We are pleased to become a part of the D&M family and look forward to expanding our capabilities,” said Boris Fukatko, founder and President of EKOCHEM 94.

As friendly nations race to achieve their defense industrialization goals, D&M is increasingly sought after as a trusted, specialized design, engineering, and manufacturing partner. D&M not only manufactures the machinery and systems needed to build ammunition; the company also trains its clients and transfers the technical knowledge required to operate facilities independently.

Inside the Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN3 Riflescope Line

Posted on Thursday, 4 June, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Inside the Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN3 Riflescope Line

Lenexa, KS (June 3, 2026) – The Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN3 builds on a trusted legacy of precision and value, delivering meaningful upgrades designed for shooters pursuing long-range accuracy, competitive performance, and precision target shooting.

At the core of the Argos BTR GEN3 is a rugged 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube, argon purged for superior fog resistance and built to withstand demanding real-world conditions. Advanced fully multi-coated lenses provide excellent light transmission, clarity, and true color, while Athlon’s XPL coating adds an extra layer of protection against dirt, oil, and scratches. A high-precision erector system and parallax adjustment down to 10 yards ensure repeatable accuracy and confidence at distance.

The Argos BTR GEN3 line offers versatile options built for both long-range precision shooting and fast-paced short-range applications.

The 6-24×50 and 8-34×56 models are ideal for shooters getting into PRS and long-range target shooting, delivering precision-focused performance at an accessible price point. For shooters demanding even greater magnification, the 10-40×56 is purpose-built for benchrest and precision target shooting, offering detailed target evaluation at extended distances.

Rounding out the lineup is the 1-8×24 LPVO, a compact and versatile optic designed for close- to mid-range performance. Built for fast target acquisition, its illuminated center horseshoe reticle functions similarly to a red dot for close-range engagements, while integrated holdovers provide quick reference points for mid-range shooting.

Select Argos BTR GEN3 models now feature a precision zero-stop system, allowing shooters to quickly and confidently return to their original zero without tracking turret rotations or second-guessing settings. Because the 1-8×24 is optimized for fast, short-range use, it does not include a zero stop. Redesigned turrets and an updated magnification ring further enhance ergonomics and handling across the lineup, creating a more refined user experience over previous generations.

The Argos BTR GEN3 lineup is available in 1-8×24, 6-24×50, 8-34×56, and 10-40×56 configurations.

Backed by Athlon’s lifetime warranty, shooters can trust their investment is protected for the long haul, no matter where or how hard they run their equipment.

1–8×24 SFP (Illuminated)

Tube Diameter: 30mm
Eye Relief: 3.5”

GA-ASI Engineers Awarded by AIAA in Three Categories

Posted on Thursday, 4 June, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

GA-ASI ENGINEERS AWARDED BY AIAA IN THREE CATEGORIES

Team Members Recognized for Outstanding Achievement by an Organization,
Aerospace Management, and Contribution to AIAA San Diego Section

SAN DIEGO – 03 June 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) engineers received awards from the San Diego Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) during an event on May 2 at the Allen Airways Flying Museum. One GA-ASI team and two individual employees were recognized for 2026 awards in the categories of Outstanding Achievement by an Aerospace Organization, Outstanding Contribution to Aerospace Management, and Outstanding Contribution to the AIAA San Diego Section.

“One thing is certain; our company is built on the talents and abilities of our people. Without them, we would not be the world leader in Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS),” said GA-ASI Engineering Vice President Dee Wilson.

GA-ASI Winners:

Outstanding Achievement by an Aerospace Organization – UK Protector UAS Military Type Certification Team

One of the highlights of 2025 for GA-ASI was earning the first Military Type Certification (MTC) of a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) UAS in the United States. The achievement, performed in partnership with the United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defence (MOD), encompassed the design, test, and creation of compliance evidence that earned the MTC for the MQ-9B SkyGuardian^® remotely piloted aircraft system, which has been designated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as Protector RG Mk1 and is now in their service. The MTC was granted by the UK Military Aviation Authority (MAA) and certifies the aircraft for operations in all classes of airspace. In addition to the AIAA honor, the same GA-ASI team earned a Program Excellence Award from Aviation Week.

Outstanding Contribution to Aerospace Management – Leslie Smith

Another highlight from last year was the first flight of the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). Leslie Smith, as program director, led GA-ASI’s development efforts throughout 2025, which included fast-tracking the aircraft, moving from contract award to first flight in just 15 months. Through focused planning, close collaboration, and a strong commitment to excellence, Leslie and her team ensured the aircraft was delivered to the flight line in June 2025. Then on August 27, 2025, the U.S. Air Force’s YFQ-42A CCA successfully flew from GA-ASI’s Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility. Leslie’s leadership continues to be instrumental to the entire YFQ-42A program team. Without her and the dedication of her team, the CCA program would not have achieved its many key milestones over the past year.

Outstanding Contribution to the AIAA San Diego Section – Pramod Mulabagula

When Pramod Mulabagula joined the AIAA San Diego Section Council, he saw an opportunity to sharpen the group’s technical edge by providing more opportunities for the group to learn from subject matter experts. He increased AIAA San Diego’s lecture series from one in 2024 to five in 2025, bringing in prestigious speakers, such as research professors from San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego, helping to bridge the gap between researchers in academia and industry professionals.

Make Every Catch a Culinary Success with Hi Mountain Seasonings

Make Every Catch a Culinary Success with Hi Mountain Seasonings

RIVERTON, Wyo. (June 3, 2026) — June is one of the most exciting months of the year for anglers across North America. As water temperatures rise, fish become more active, creating incredible opportunities to target a wide variety of species, from trophy largemouth bass and bluegill in freshwater lakes to redfish, trout, tuna, and snapper along coastal waters.

Whether you’re targeting post-spawn bass, chasing tuna offshore, or bringing home a cooler full of panfish, there’s nothing better than enjoying a fresh-caught meal after a successful day on the water.
That’s where Hi Mountain Seasonings comes in.

For the past 35 years, Hi Mountain Seasonings has helped outdoor enthusiasts turn their harvests into delicious meals with easy-to-use seasoning blends, fish brines, marinades, and rubs that enhance the natural flavor of fresh fish without overpowering it.

“June is when anglers start filling coolers and making memories on the water,” said Hans Hummel, owner of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “We want to help them make those memories even better by offering simple, flavorful products that take the guesswork out of preparing fresh-caught fish.”

From the water to the table, fresh fish deserves fresh flavor. Hi Mountain Seasonings offers a variety of products to match every angler’s preferred cooking style. The company’s Brine Mixes help preserve moisture and flavor before smoking or grilling, while favorites such as the Gourmet Fish, Wild River Trout, and Alaskan Salmon Western Style Seasonings deliver exceptional flavor with minimal preparation. Hi Mountain’s marinades and rubs add bold flavor to everything from grilled tuna steaks and smoked trout to blackened redfish fillets.

June anglers often enjoy outstanding fishing opportunities for largemouth bass during post-spawn feeding patterns, bluegill and other panfish in shallow-water beds, redfish and speckled trout on coastal flats, yellowfin and blackfin tuna offshore, and catfish, northern pike, and lake trout in northern waters. No matter what species is on the end of the line, Hi Mountain Seasonings offers flavors that help transform a successful day of fishing into a memorable meal.

As anglers head to the water this month, Hi Mountain Seasonings encourages everyone to practice conservation, follow local fishing regulations, and enjoy the rewards of a successful day outdoors with great-tasting meals shared among family and friends.
