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

Posted on Wednesday, 9 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Posted on Wednesday, 9 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

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

Posted on Wednesday, 9 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

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, 14^th 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.

Still Time to Participate in Gun Storage Check Week

Posted on Monday, 7 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

September 4, 2026

There’s Still Time to Participate in Gun Storage Check Week

Washington, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, encourages firearm industry organizations and the gun-owning community to participate in Gun Storage Check Week^® as it reaches the midpoint of its second semi-annual observance. Held at the beginning of National Suicide Prevention Month (Sept. 1–7), Gun Storage Check Week reminds firearm owners to take a moment and review their storage practices to “Make Sure It’s Secure^®.”

“Whether you’re a range operator, manufacturer, law enforcement agency, veteran or individual gun owner, there’s still plenty of time to take part in Gun Storage Check Week and ‘Make Sure It’s Secure,’” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We invite you to engage with this safety message — examine your secure storage practices when your firearm is not in use and share Gun Storage Check Week resources with your community. These practices can save the life of someone in a moment of crisis, as well as prevent accidents, thefts and misuse.”

Resources for Industry Companies

Whether you’re a retailer, range or industry-related company, there are many ways to participate in Gun Storage Check Week and utilize resources available to you.

Share Gun Storage Check Week messaging with your community and followers. A comprehensive promotional toolkit is freely available with assets to help amplify the reach of the “Make Sure It’s Secure” message to the public. Shareable graphics, public service announcements, press release templates and more are available.

“Have a Brave Conversation.” NSSF’s “Have a Brave Conversation” toolkit is available for firearm retailers, shooting ranges and others to train staff and educate customers about prevention suicide. The toolkit and replenishment of its contents are free. In addition, NSSF has partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has developed a separate toolkit to assist U.S. veterans.

Practice what you teach. As you engage customers during Gun Storage Check Week, make sure you emphasize the importance of secure storage among employees, as well. Encourage them to take a few minutes to assess their secure storage practices as well. There are tips below for how individual firearm owners can get involved in Gun Storage Check Week. Share these with your team.

Resources for Law Enforcement

As a law enforcement agency, you can share the “Make Sure It’s Secure” message with members of your community.

Share Gun Storage Check Week messaging with your community. Assets in the promotional toolkit are freely available to assist social media posts and announcements.

Organize a lock distribution event. If you partner with Project ChildSafe^®, NSSF’s nationwide firearm safety education program, utilize the cable-style gun locks available to host a lock distribution event. This can be done throughout the year to encourage firearm safety. Law enforcement agencies can contact Project ChildSafe to request gun locks — this is a resource freely available.

Resources for Everyone

For everyone — any company or organization involved in the firearm industry or individual/prospective firearm owner — there are numerous ways to engage with Gun Storage Check Week.

Check how your firearms are stored when not in use. This is the core message of Gun Storage Check Week and can be accomplished in just a few minutes. Firearms should be secured when not in use to prevent access from children or under unauthorized individuals. Take a moment to check your safe, lock box, cable locks or other locking devices and confirm they’re functioning properly and being used as intended.

Ask what has changed in your household recently. Secure storage will look different across households and life stages. Are your kids getting older and more curious? Do you have roommates? As the holidays approach, will family be staying with you? Use Gun Storage Check Week to confirm your secure storage solution works for your lifestyle.

Know what options are available and adjust as needed. Securing firearms is one of the most effective methods of helping to reduce suicide, accidents and theft. There are a variety of secure storage options to fit any firearm, household and lifestyle. Take a moment to review your secure storage setup. If any changes are needed, adjust accordingly. Options abound in every price category, including free cable-style gun locks available through Project ChildSafe partners. Project ChildSafe has law enforcement partners in all 50 states and in five U.S. territories.

Remember the importance of “Time and Distance.” The September observance of Gun Storage Check Week aligns with National Suicide Prevention Month for a very important reason: More than half of all firearm fatalities are suicide deaths. Nearly three quarters of suicides among veterans involve a firearm. When a firearm is securely stored when not in use, it provides “time and distance” between a person in crisis and a lethal means. This pause allows time for immediate thoughts of suicide to pass and gives someone in crisis an opportunity to seek support. NSSF encourages everyone to remember the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988 is the number to call/text/chat if you or someone you know is struggling.

Engage with safety content, enter sweepstakes. Through Sept. 7, visitors to GunStorageCheck.org can enter a sweepstakes to win a Lodestar LNK9 Kit — a user-authorized firearm. Additional entries to win can be earned by watching any of the firearm safety or suicide prevention videos after completing the entry form.

Continue the Conversation

As Gun Storage Check Week nears its conclusion, the conversation surrounding firearm safety and secure storage is a regular routine for gun owners. These practices prevent access by unsupervised children, individuals in a moment of crisis and others who shouldn’t have access to firearms.

Established by NSSF as a national awareness campaign in 2024, Gun Storage Check Week has two annual observances: June 1–7, coinciding with National Safety Month, and Sept. 1–7, in recognition of Suicide Prevention Month. Gun Storage Check Week has reached millions of gun owners with its “Make Sure It’s Secure” message and industry outreach.

Gun Storage Check Week will return in 2027, June 1–7 and Sept. 1–7.

Get 40% Off Now

Code LABORDAY26 – Ends Labor Day, Monday Sept 7 11:59PM PST

What’s new in BaseMap

Four things we’ve been heads-down on. All of it’s live now.

3D Maps

See the terrain the way you’ll actually walk it. Ridgelines, drainages, and glassing points show up the way they look in real life, not as lines on a flat screen.

Offline 3D Maps

Same 3D terrain, no signal required. Download it before you head out and it’s there when you’re miles past the last bar of service.

Custom Tracks

Set your own line styles and colors so your stalks, scouting routes, and blood trails don’t all blend together on the map. Trim from beginning or from the end.

Terrain Analysis and Viewshed

Full line-of-sight modeling, run against real elevation data. Drop a pin and see exactly what’s visible from that ridge, that stand, that glassing knob — down to the draws and benches that are hidden from it. Stack that with slope, aspect, and elevation shading and you can scout an entire drainage, pick your setup, and rule out dead ground before you’ve burned a single mile.

40% off runs through Labor Day. Use code LABORDAY26 at checkout. Discount valid off any Pro subscription.

Hornady® Introduces VEXIS™ a New Era of Biometric Security Powered by Palm Vein Recognition Technology

Posted on Friday, 4 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hornady® Introduces VEXIS™ a New Era of Biometric Security Powered by Palm Vein Recognition Technology

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — Hornady® is redefining biometric access with the introduction of VEXIS™, a patent-pending palm vein recognition technology that delivers unmatched speed, accuracy, privacy and reliability. Rather than relying on fingerprints, facial recognition or access codes, VEXIS™ identifies users by the unique vein pattern beneath the skin of their palm, providing secure, contactless access in less than half a second.

Unlike surface-based biometric systems, VEXIS™ reads internal vein patterns that cannot be copied, photographed, forged or left behind. The technology captures more than 2.5 million data points during each scan, resulting in exceptionally low false acceptance and false rejection rates while maintaining user privacy through locally stored data that is never uploaded or shared.

“Security should be both uncompromising and effortless,” said Jason Hornady, Vice President of Hornady. “VEXIS™ combines advanced biometric technology with the dependability our customers expect, creating one of the most secure and user-friendly access systems available today,” he added.

Built around harmless near-infrared technology, VEXIS™ recognizes vein patterns that remain stable throughout adulthood. Each device stores up to 10 unique users while supporting multi-factor authentication through a keypad and mechanical key backup.

VEXIS™ Product Line

VEXIS™ Night Guard®

Item No. 98235

Designed for immediate bedside access, the VEXIS™ Night Guard® opens by scanning your palm, opening a padded compartment for firearms and valuables. The safe features a clean, modern design with a quiet spring-assisted drawer, heavy-duty 14-gauge steel construction with hardened locking lugs, an integrated USB-C charging port, a discreet dimmable clock display, and both keypad and mechanical key backup.

VEXIS™ Mobilis® Safes

Item No. 95070 – Single Door

Item No. 95071 – Double Door

Item No. 95072 – Double Door MAX

Available in Single Door, Double Door and Double Door MAX configurations, VEXIS™ Mobilis® Safes combine modular construction with advanced biometric security. The modular design allows each safe to be carried through standard doorways and assembled in place, while VEXIS™ technology provides secure, sub-second access. Additional features include the customizable Square-Lok® interior organization system, built-in power outlets, heavy-duty 9-gauge steel construction, pry-resistant doors, one-hour Fire Shield™ protection rated to 2300°F, and keypad and mechanical key backup.

VEXIS™ Premium Vault Doors

Item No. 95422 – 32” x 80” Premium Vault Door

Item No. 95421 – 36” x 80” Premium Vault Door

Engineered to transform a safe room into a secure vault, VEXIS™ Premium Vault Doors feature VEXIS™ palm vein recognition along with keypad and mechanical key backup. Designed to fit standard residential rough openings, the doors feature a patent-pending reversible hinge system for left- or right-hand in-swing installation, heavy-duty 12-gauge steel construction, sixteen 1-inch live locking bolts, one-hour Fire Shield™ protection rated to 2300°F, and a Square-Lok® compatible back panel for customizable storage.

VEXIS™ Safe Upgrade Kit

Item No. 95892

The VEXIS™ Safe Upgrade Kit brings next-generation palm vein recognition to compatible existing safes and vault doors without replacing the entire unit. The kit includes the VEXIS™ keypad and swingbolt locking mechanism, providing fast, contactless biometric access for first-generation Mobilis® safes and other compatible models. An online compatibility list helps owners verify fitment before installation. Please visit: https://hornady.com/vexis-compatible

The new VEXIS™ security products will be available from stocking dealers, major retail sporting goods stores and their websites. For more information about VEXIS™ technology, please visit: https://hornady.com/security/vexis/

For decades, Hornady Security® has designed innovative solutions that help protect firearms, valuables and the people who depend on them.

The new VEXIS™ security products will be available from stocking dealers, major retail sporting goods stores and their websites.

Jacob Grey Firearms Finalizes Licensing Agreement with HEXMAG

Posted on Friday, 4 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

HOME ABOUT BLOG APPAREL

Jacob Grey Firearms Strengthens the Future of the Award-Winning Hex™ Platform Through Licensing Agreement with HEXMAG

PROSPERITY, S.C. – September 3, 2026 – Jacob Grey Firearms has finalized an intellectual property licensing agreement with HEXMAG® covering the company’s Hex™ and Hex Pro™ family of premium handguns.

The agreement provides a clear framework for the continued manufacture, sale, and development of the Hex™ platform while recognizing HEXMAG’s intellectual property. It also reinforces Jacob Grey’s long-term commitment to a product family that has become an important part of the company’s growing lineup of premium American-made firearms.

Since its introduction, the Hex™ platform has earned a reputation for precision engineering, exceptional craftsmanship, and uncompromising performance. That recognition came early, with the TWC Hex being named Best Pistol by GunsAmerica at SHOT Show 2025—an honor that helped establish the platform as a standout in the competitive double-stack 1911 category. Built using aerospace-inspired manufacturing processes, premium billet components, and exacting tolerances, the Hex™ embodies the engineering-first approach that has come to define Jacob Grey Firearms.

“The Hex platform has become an important part of our product portfolio, and we’re excited about where we can take it from here. Innovation drives this industry, and companies willing to invest in new ideas deserve to have those innovations respected. This agreement gives both organizations a clear path forward and allows us to stay focused on what we do best—engineering exceptional firearms, supporting our dealer network, and delivering an ownership experience that matches the quality of the product.”
— Todd Neice, President, Jacob Grey Firearms

For Jacob Grey dealers and customers, nothing changes about the Hex™ or Hex Pro™ they know today. The agreement has no impact on the design, performance, availability, or quality of either model. Instead, it provides the foundation for Jacob Grey to continue investing in the Hex™ platform and building on its success.

Since the introduction of the Hex™, Jacob Grey has continued to rapidly expand its product portfolio with the launch of the Nox 9™, Nox 9 Limited, and most recently, the competition-focused StageMaster. Each new model has built upon the company’s commitment to precision manufacturing, performance, and continuous innovation while expanding Jacob Grey’s presence across the premium handgun market.

And the company isn’t finished. Jacob Grey continues to invest heavily in advanced manufacturing and new product development, with an entirely new platform already taking shape behind the scenes.

While details will remain under wraps for now, what comes next will carry forward the same commitment to precision, performance, and innovation that has fueled Jacob Grey’s growth.

“We’re proud of what we’ve built with the Hex and everything that has followed, but we’re nowhere near finished. Our team has been working on what comes next, and when the time is right, I think people are going to be surprised by where Jacob Grey is headed.”
— Todd Neice

NSSF Invites America to “Let Freedom Plink” During 10th Annual National Shooting Sports Month

Posted on Friday, 4 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NSSF Celebrates Outstanding Support for National Shooting Sports Month

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, celebrates widespread support and participation in the 10th annual National Shooting Sports Month^®, which ran throughout the month of August.

To commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s National Shooting Sports Month celebration carried the tagline “Let Freedom Plink” — recognizing the traditions of marksmanship, responsibility and freedom that have brought generations of Americans together through the shooting sports.

“Across 10 years of observing National Shooting Sports Month, this year’s celebration really stood out with the widespread enthusiasm from all aspects of the firearm community for target shooting and the shooting sports,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “Based on feedback from range owners, individuals and even elected officials, it’s clear this annual celebration of the shooting sports has a unifying impact and creates an opportunity for our industry to welcome in new participants. This year’s ‘Let Freedom Plink’ theme rang true at ranges nationwide.”

Coast-to-Coast Support

Ranges, retailers and shooting clubs played a central role in making National Shooting Sports Month a success. Hundreds of ranges, gun clubs and retail stores — 519 in all — signed on to participate in National Shooting Sports Month. These facilities hosted events, sales promotions, introductory classes, shooting sports experiences and more throughout the month to welcome in customers.

With increased foot traffic, ranges used their participation in this celebration to boost other elements of their business. Lake Erie Arms in Milan, Ohio, supported the +ONE^® Movement by encouraging frequent customers to bring a guest during National Shooting Sports Month — those who did received extra entries to a special Lake Erie Arms giveaway. Freedom Armory, based in Pennsylvania and with a deep connection to the hunting community, closed out its National Shooting Sports Month participation by hosting a hunting sale to kickstart its busy fall season.

#RangeChallenge Generates Excitement

The #RangeChallenge was a significant driver throughout National Shooting Sports Month. Over 190 ranges/clubs participated in the #RangeChallenge, each receiving a promotional package that accounted for more than 19,000 #RangeChallenge targets being handed out to target shooters.

Many ranges developed their own course of fire in support of the #RangeChallenge, which proved popular with range guests. Two examples, Arkansas Armory and Freedom Outdoors each hosted local #RangeChallenge events with prizes to encourage participation throughout the month.

All month long, consumers entered the #RangeChallenge by using the #RangeChallenge hashtag and uploading a picture of themselves and their “Let Freedom Plink”-themed target for a chance to win one of eight $500 gift cards. In all, 408 enthusiasts entered the #RangeChallenge throughout August.

Online Engagement Trends

Web traffic to ShootingSportsMonth.org, the official webpage of National Shooting Sports Month, increased nearly 20 percent year-over-year. For the month of August, ShootingSportsMonth.org had 12,736 users and 20,556 page views. National Shooting Sports Month content on LetsGoShooting.org attracted nearly 5,000 page views.

The #RangeChallenge page on the site boasted 7,071 unique users and 11,134 page views. The #RangeChallenge target was downloaded 1,036 times.

On social media, ranges, manufacturers, organizations and individuals joined in the National Shooting Sports Month festivities. Social media users highlighted trips to the range, #RangeChallenge participation and special events. There were 30,954 National Shooting Sports Month engagements (comments, likes, shares) throughout August, averaging nearly 1,000 per day.

Content relating to the #RangeChallenge represented the best conversation starter on social media. Topics connected to training/safety and community also performed well among the expansive National Shooting Sports Month audience — showcasing the importance of responsibility that comes along with the joy of the shooting sports.

Notable National & State Recognitions

National Shooting Sports Month achieved noteworthy national and state recognitions from elected officials throughout August.

Aug. 10, President Donald Trump released a Presidential Message commemorating National Shooting Sports Month.

“This National Shooting Sports Month, we celebrate America’s proud tradition of recreational shooting and hunting and the glorious exercise of our Second Amendment rights,” the president stated. “For generations, this time-honored way of life has instilled discipline, promoted rugged individualism that drove American civilization west, and connected millions of Americans to the great outdoors.”

In an impressive showing of support, 19 state governors issued official state proclamations celebrating the rich tradition and importance that recreational shooting, hunting and the firearm industry provide to their individual states. The proof is in the numbers: For fiscal year 2026, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) apportioned over $1.3 billion through the Wildlife Restoration program. More than $842 million was sourced directly from those excise taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers and importers.

The following states issued official National Shooting Sports Month proclamations: Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.

Members of Congress showcased their support for National Shooting Sports Month in the halls of Congress and in their districts. U.S. Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and U.S. Rep. Tony Wied (R-Wis.) introduced resolutions, S. Res. 826 and H. Res. 1477, respectively, to honor the contributions of firearm manufacturers “to the economy, culture, and recreational heritage of the United States” and to recognize August 2026 as National Shooting Sports Month.

Seven members of Congress celebrated National Shooting Sports Month with a visit to a local range in their district or state. In the Senate, U.S. Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) visited NSSF Five-Star Range Black Wing Shooting Center in Delaware, Ohio, breaking clays while shooting trap. Two examples of House Members visiting ranges in their district include: U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Ala.), who stopped by another NSSF Five-Star Range, Bullet & Barrel in Huntsville, Ala.; and U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa), who visited Davenport Guns & Shooting Club in Davenport, Iowa, meeting with Owner Jeanelle Westrom and local constituents.

The Celebration Doesn’t Have to Stop

While National Shooting Sports Month may have come to an end, the celebration of the shooting sports can long continue. As the calendar turns to fall, hunting opportunities abound, as well as friendly competition in local matches and leagues at ranges. Find and visit a local range, bring a friend and “Let Freedom Plink” year-round.

Palm Beach County Campaign Targets Illegal Gun Purchases

Palm Beach County Campaign Targets Illegal Gun Purchases

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, together with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), announced a month-long public education campaign running through early October. This campaign is designed to remind the greater Palm Beach County, Fla., area public about stiff penalties facing individuals convicted of unlawful firearm purchases. The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy^TM” campaign is in its 26th year and drives home the message that anyone making an illegal firearm purchase faces a federal felony penalty of up to 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. The program is funded in full by the firearm industry and is now also complemented by additional federal funding allocated to ATF by Congress. Palm Beach County was chosen for this specific campaign by ATF.

“The firearm industry has always been fully committed to keeping firearms out of the hands of those who should not possess them. In its 26th year, we are especially proud to launch this ‘Don’t Lie for the Other Guy’ public awareness campaign in Palm Beach County as part of our cooperative relationship with the ATF, the DOJ and the entire law enforcement community. Our goal is to assist them in their efforts to reduce criminal acquisition of firearms and to keep communities safe,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi.

This month-long “Don’t Lie” public education campaign in and around the Palm Beach County area is robust and will deliver more than 35 million media impressions once completed in early October. This includes an outdoor campaign on 17 billboards strategically placed along the busiest highways and high-traffic roads throughout Palm Beach County, as well as more than 5.4 million targeted impressions across Facebook, Instagram and mobile display, including more than 1.3 million geofenced mobile display ads in and around Palm Beach County, all with the message reminding the public: “Buy a gun for someone who can’t and buy yourself 15 years in jail. Don’t Lie for the Other Guy.” There will also be more than 1,200 radio spots that will run on five of the top FM radio stations in Palm Beach County.

To legally purchase a firearm at retail, a person must pass an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System verification, or NICS background check, and fully comply with all state and local laws. When a criminal is illegally trafficking firearms or knows they cannot pass this check, they may try to induce a friend or acquaintance to make the purchase for them. This is known as a “straw” purchase and is a felony.

The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” program also involves educating firearm retailers to better detect and prevent straw purchases by providing “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” retailer kits containing a training video and information for storeowners and staff, as well as point-of-purchase displays aimed to deter illegal straw purchasers.
