BUK OPS® X-Factor Range-Finding Crossbow Scope Delivers Deadly Accuracy to 100 Yards
Buck Commander’s built-in rangefinder and Speed Dial reticle take the guesswork out of every shot
West Monroe, LA (SEPTEMBER 30, 2026) – Buck Commander continues to push the limits of crossbow optics with the BUK OPS® X-Factor Range-Finding Crossbow Scope. Built for hunters who need fast, accurate distance-to-target calculations in dynamic environments, the X-Factor pairs a built-in angle-compensating laser rangefinder with a Speed Dial reticle calibrated to the hunter’s exact arrow speed — giving shooters confidence out to 100 yards.
The X-Factor’s angle-compensating rangefinder is only half the story. The scope also factors in ballistic drop, fine-tuned to the crossbow’s arrow speed, so hunters get accurate holdover whether they’re shooting from a treestand, a ground blind on hilly terrain, or anywhere in between. Hunters can range a fixed point with a single press of the Range button, or hold the button to activate Active Scan mode, which continuously tracks a moving target.
The Speed Dial precision reticle makes calibration simple. Once a hunter has zeroed the top reticle, a single turn of the Speed Dial matches the scope to the crossbow’s feet-per-second rating, aligning drop marks out to 100 yards. A rheostat-controlled illuminated reticle offers selectable red or green illumination, so hunters can dial in the right contrast and intensity for early morning, midday, or last-light conditions.
Buck Commander designed the X-Factor’s zeroing process to be straightforward, even in the field:
1. Set up a crossbow-rated target at a measured 10 yards and confirm a safe backstop.
2. Aim the top reticle (the 20-yard aim point) at the center of the target and fire from a stationary rest. At 10 yards, each click of the windage and elevation dials moves the point of impact 1/20 inch—20 clicks move it about an inch.
3. Adjust the elevation and windage dials until the point of impact matches the point of aim.
4. Move back to 20 yards and repeat. At this distance, each click moves point of impact 1/10th of an inch — 10 clicks equal about an inch.
5. Once the top reticle is zeroed at 20 yards, step back to 30 yards and fire using the second-from-top reticle. Use the Speed Dial — not the elevation dial — to bring impact up or down, since adjusting elevation here would disturb the 20-yard zero. Fine-tune left-right with the windage dial.
6. Confirm accuracy at 40 or 50 yards, making small tweaks to the Speed Dial and windage as needed, then tighten the locking ring to lock in the calibration.
With the scope properly zeroed and speed-calibrated, the remaining reticle drop marks — out to 100 yards — fall into place automatically, giving hunters a fast, repeatable process they can trust in the field.
● Speed Dial FPS (feet per second) precision reticle
● Automatic angle-compensation adjustment
● Active Scan mode continuously tracks moving targets
● 100-yard calibrated target range
● Up to 1,200-yard reflective ranging distance
● Selectable red/green illuminated reticle
● Easy-to-use Picatinny mounting bracket

U.S. NAVY EVALUATES SEAGUARDIAN® UAS AT WHIDBEY ISLAND
GA-ASI’s Maritime MQ-9B Evaluated as a USN Workhorse
SAN DIEGO – 30 September 2026 – The U.S. Navy (USN) recently evaluated the MQ-9B SeaGuardian® from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) at the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force (MPRF) Commander’s Operational Group (COG) at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI), Oak Harbor, Washington. SeaGuardian is the maritime variant of the MQ-9B Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) operated by the USN as part of a Company-Owned, Company-Operated (COCO) contract with GA-ASI supporting an ongoing capability assessment for the 7th Fleet.
The COG brings together MPRF senior leaders, tacticians, and industry partners to discuss cutting-edge naval aviation capabilities and review Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) operational Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) currently employed throughout the Fleet. At the request of the Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Group, GA-ASI provided its MQ-9B SeaGuardian to give attendees an up-close look at a maritime-optimized Group 5 remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) currently being employed by the USN and several foreign partners. SeaGuardian was also part of the 2025 Whidbey Island Open House.
“We’re always thrilled to have our Navy customer showcase our SeaGuardian at these Navy Tactical Symposiums,” said GA-ASI Vice President of DoD Strategic Development Patrick Shortsleeve. “Whidbey Island is a great place to display SeaGuardian alongside the P-8A Poseidon for MPRF professionals to help illustrate that this future focused capability is here now and ready for employment.”
The U.S. Navy has been evaluating the MQ-9B SeaGuardian as a potential MPRF “force multiplier” for a multitude of missions, Whidbey Island has been a base for MQ-9B SeaGuardian’s mission capabilities as part of various Navy exercises, including Northern Edge and Integrated Battle Problem, and has supported the aircraft carrier pre-deployment workups.

Taxidermy & Trophy Shipping Helps Hunters Save More —and Get Back to Africa Sooner
KEMPTON PARK, South Africa (Sept. 28, 2026) — For many hunters, the end of an African safari immediately starts the countdown to the next one. Taxidermy & Trophy Shipping (TTS) is helping hunters shorten that countdown by offering a streamlined, cost-conscious approach to trophy handling, taxidermy, and shipping that can significantly reduce the overall cost of bringing their trophies home.
From the moment trophies enter the salt until they reach their final destination, TTS serves as a single point of contact, coordinating the many steps involved in transporting trophies from Africa to the hunter’s home. Just as importantly, TTS empowers its clients with options, allowing each hunter to select the services that best fit their trophies, budget, and personal preferences.
“Every dollar a hunter can save on the process of getting their trophies home is money that can go toward their next safari,” said Richard Lendrum, founder of Taxidermy & Trophy Shipping. “That was one of the reasons we created TTS. We wanted to give hunters choices, help them control their overall costs, and take the hassle out of what happens after the hunt. Our goal is to make the process as simple and transparent as possible while helping hunters get their trophies home and, hopefully, get their boots back on the ground in Africa sooner.”
Once a safari is complete, TTS coordinates directly with the outfitter, arranges trophy collection nationwide, manages and coordinates the importation of trophies from neighboring countries when necessary, and delivers them to one of TTS’s appointed professional taxidermists or to the client’s preferred taxidermist.
Hunters have three main choices based on where and how they prefer their trophies to be processed.
Dipping & Packing enables trophies to be expertly ready for export and sent to the hunter’s chosen tannery or taxidermist for processing and mounting at their location.
Tanning allows capes and skins to be professionally tanned in South Africa before export, after which they can be delivered to the hunter’s taxidermist for mounting.
Complete Taxidermy offers professional trophy mounting services in South Africa, ensuring trophies are prepared before export and delivered to the hunter’s trophy room.
Once a client selects the option that best meets their needs, TTS advises on available export and shipping alternatives, including air and ocean freight. Throughout the process, TTS remains in contact with the hunter, providing a single point of contact rather than leaving the client to coordinate separately with outfitters, taxidermists, shipping agents, and other service providers.
One of the most significant advantages of the TTS system is its cost.
Through its relationships with contracted professional taxidermists, TTS offers highly competitive taxidermy pricing. While international freight rates are outside TTS’s control, the considerable savings available on professional taxidermy can substantially reduce the combined cost of taxidermy and shipping.
For hunters bringing home several animals from a safari, those savings can be significant. Instead of watching a large share of the next safari budget vanish into post-hunt expenses, hunters can put more of that money toward getting back to Africa.
“Most hunters who experience Africa once want to return,” added Lendrum. “If we can help reduce the cost of getting their trophies home while also making the entire process easier, those savings can go toward the next hunt. Ultimately, we want our clients looking forward to their next African safari instead of worrying about the cost of getting the trophies from their last one home.”
TTS was created around a simple concept: give hunters choices, help them control costs, and make the process of getting their trophies home as hassle-free as possible.
Whether a hunter wants trophies dipped and packed for completion at home, professionally tanned before export, or fully mounted in South Africa, TTS coordinates the process from start to finish. The result is a unique one-stop service that combines professional trophy handling, competitive taxidermy pricing, multiple shipping options, and a single knowledgeable point of contact.
Because the memories of an African safari should live on in the trophies brought home—not in the frustration and expense of transporting them.
And when those savings help make the next safari possible, the sooner hunters can get their boots back on African soil.

Warmth, Light, and Winter-Ready Comfort: THAW Rechargeable Heated Beanie Keeps Cold at Bay
Fort Worth, Texas (September 28, 2026)—As temperatures drop and winter approaches, outdoor activities require the right gear to stay warm, comfortable, and protected from the elements. From hiking and hunting to attending football games and other sporting events, gloves and layered clothing are standard cold-weather essentials. Protecting the head and ears, however, can be just as important.
Traditional hats and fabric caps provide basic coverage, but strong winds and wet weather can limit their effectiveness. THAW takes a modern approach to cold-weather headwear with the new Rechargeable Heated Beanie, combining soft, comfortable construction with targeted heating technology and hands-free illumination.
The Rechargeable Heated Beanie features strategically positioned heating elements over the ears, helping deliver targeted warmth where cold-weather exposure can be especially uncomfortable. Three adjustable heat settings provide customizable warmth up to 113°F (45°C), while the rechargeable design delivers up to 6 hours of heat, making it ideal for extended time outdoors.
A removable 100-lumen LED light adds another layer of functionality, providing hands-free visibility after sunset or in low-light conditions. The LED light features three operating modes, including a red-light setting, and an integrated LED power button with a mode indicator for simple operation.
Constructed with a soft fleece liner and lightweight rib-knit exterior, the Rechargeable Heated Beanie is designed for comfort during extended wear. The machine-washable construction simplifies care, while a water-resistant battery pocket helps protect the power source from moisture. USB-C rechargeability adds convenient, modern functionality for keeping the beanie powered and ready for the next cold-weather outing.
Whether walking through the woods, sitting in a deer stand, watching a football game, or attending an outdoor event after dark, the THAW Rechargeable Heated Beanie delivers warmth, visibility, and comfort in a versatile, winter-ready design.
Bring modern technology to cold-weather headwear with the THAW Rechargeable Heated Beanie, providing targeted warmth and hands-free illumination for outdoor life.

On display will be PWS’s piston-fired rifle platforms, including the new MK2 MOD 2 series, the UXR, and the Alpha, all built on the company’s long-stroke gas piston system for improved reliability and reduced fouling compared to direct-impingement designs. PWS will also showcase its BDE line of 3D-printed suppressors, which use additive manufacturing to deliver lightweight, durable sound suppression across multiple calibers.
Rounding out the booth, Lone Wolf Arms will present its lineup of striker-fired handguns and suppressors, reflecting more than two decades of aftermarket innovation for the Glock platform.
“NASGW gives us the chance to put our full product range in front of the industry’s top wholesalers and distributors in one place,” said Jusin Raney, Vice President of Sales. “Pairing up with Lone Wolf Arms lets attendees see the complete picture of what both companies bring to the market.”
NASGW is a members-only trade event bringing together manufacturers, distributors, and retailers from across the shooting sports industry. Attendees can find PWS and Lone Wolf Arms at booth #1334 throughout the show.

September 2026
Now available for Glock 17 with or without carry optic!
After decades of success with the original Combat Master, Galco unveils the Combat Master™ 2.0, bringing the traditional pancake holster in line with modern EDC preferences.
A professional-grade belt holster hand-molded by Galco’s experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns, the updated 2.0 design is cut to accommodate most carry-style optics while working equally well with iron-sighted pistols. The optic cutaway also allows the pistol to clear leather even faster, and promotes a smoother, faster draw for shorter-waisted users.
The raised sweat guard protects the wearer’s body from the pistol, and the pistol from the body’s natural perspiration.
Detailed hand-molding gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance. But beauty is only skin-deep, especially in a holster designed for concealment. The Combat Master 2.0’s traditional high-riding pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster, pulling the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear.
It features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed, since time is often in short supply in defensive situations. Premium steerhide construction with double-stitched seams enhance durability, making the Combat Master 2.0 one of the longest-lasting leather holsters money can buy.
The Combat Master 2.0’s twin belt slots enhance comfort by distributing the handgun’s weight and fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide.

Ikonick Energetics Opens State-of-the-Art Primer Manufacturing Facility
New South Florida campus projected to manufacture approximately 1 billion primers annually and create more than 200 jobs.
Stuart, Fla. (September 2026) – Ikonick Energetics today officially opened its new primer manufacturing facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in South Florida, marking a milestone for domestic ammunition component production. The invitation-only event, held from 10 a.m. to noon, drew guests who included industry leaders, government officials, and community stakeholders for a first look at one of only a handful of facilities of its kind operating in the United States. The ribbon-cutting ceremony included a complimentary brunch, a tour of the new primer facility, as well as a tour of the Ikonick USA ammunition facility. Keynote speakers included Peter Belk, Former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Readiness; J. Alex Kelly, Florida Secretary of Commerce; Erich Pratt, SVP, Gun Owners of America; and ceremony host Barry Skolnick, owner, Ikonick USA/Ikonick Energetics/Ikonick Motors.
The campus represents a significant capital investment in South Florida’s manufacturing sector. At full production capacity, the facility is designed to produce approximately 1 billion primers per year, supplying a critical component used in commercial and law enforcement ammunition. With only a small number of comparable facilities operating nationwide, Ikonick Energetics’ new plant strengthens the domestic supply chain for energetics manufacturing.
The project is expected to create more than 200 new jobs in South Florida, spanning manufacturing, engineering, quality assurance, and administrative roles. Ikonick Energetics has stated that hiring is ongoing, with positions open to qualified candidates in the region.
“Today marks the realization of years of hard work, strategic investment, and an unwavering commitment to American manufacturing,” said Nelson Levy, CEO of Ikonick Energetics. “This facility is more than a production site; it’s a statement that world-class energetics manufacturing can and does happen right here in South Florida. We are proud to bring hundreds of good-paying jobs to this community and to play a meaningful role in securing the nation’s ammunition supply chain.”
With its expanded manufacturing footprint, Ikonick Energetics intends to scale production in phases as demand warrants. Its ammunition facility, Ikonick USA, continues to operate near the new primer plant and will benefit from the tighter vertical integration the new facility provides.

The COMP is a rugged, RMR-footprint red dot built for competition and duty, right up through daily carry. It runs 10 brightness levels, so you can turn the dot up for bright outdoor stages or bring it down for indoor ranges and low light. The two lowest settings are night vision compatible, which gives the COMP a spot on duty guns and low-light setups as well as your match pistol. Run it with a red or green dot, or go with the Red Multi-Reticle for a 2 MOA dot with a 21 MOA circle.
The housing is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and rated for +P and +P+ rounds. It’s IPX7 waterproof, rated to withstand submersion at 1 meter for 30 minutes. Motion Control Technology wakes the dot up the moment you move, and Smart Power Management shuts it down after 5 minutes of inactivity, so a single CR1632 battery lasts up to 50,000 hours.
