BUK OPS® Buknoculars™ Capture the Hunt in 4K While Delivering Unmatched Low Light Visibility

Posted on Wednesday, 29 July, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

BUK OPS® Buknoculars™ Capture the Hunt in 4K While Delivering Unmatched Low Light Visibility

West Monroe, LA (July 28th, 2026) – One look through BUK OPS® Buknoculars™ and hunters understand the power of Primetime Color Vision™, Buck Commander’s cutting edge light and color enhancing technology. Primetime Color Vision Technology delivers a never before seen view in low light conditions, when deer are most active. By enhancing details and delivering true color fidelity, Buknoculars give hunters a clearer view when it matters most while also providing the ability to capture those moments in stunning 4K high resolution video.

Buck Commander’s patent pending Primetime Color Vision™ is an industry first. Unlike thermal imaging or infrared technology, Primetime uses proprietary technology to enhance low light conditions while maintaining vivid, true to life color. The result is a clearer view of what is happening in the woods, giving hunters the ability to quickly identify deer and make the most of their time in the stand.

But seeing the hunt is only part of the experience. With 4K high resolution recording built directly into the BUK OPS Buknoculars, hunters can capture the moments that make a hunt memorable. From a buck stepping into range to deer moving through the timber at first light, Buknoculars allow hunters to record the action as it happens without having to carry a separate camera into the woods. The built in recording capability makes it easy to document hunts, preserve memories and share those moments with friends and family long after the hunt is over.

The combination of high resolution recording and Primetime Color Vision makes the BUK OPS Buknoculars a powerful tool for hunters who want to experience more from every sit. Hunters can observe deer in enhanced low light conditions, zoom in for a closer look and record what they see, all through one optic designed specifically for the modern hunter.

The BUK OPS Buknoculars are packed with premium features designed to help hunters stay connected to the action. A large HD viewfinder provides a clear viewing experience, while adjustable brightness allows hunters to customize their view while remaining concealed within their blind or stand. A manual focus lens and 1-5x zoom provide tack sharp viewing and the ability to get a closer look at deer and surrounding terrain. When the moment arrives, hunters can quickly capture it in 4K high resolution video, creating a lasting record of the hunt.

About BUK OPS™

BUK OPS™ is an all-new subcategory product line of patent pending optics that drastically enhance low-light hunting conditions to give hunters significantly better opportunities during primetime. BUK OPS changes everything about low-light hunting situations. This cutting-edge line redefines optical performance with exclusive Primetime Color Vision™ technology. Say goodbye to the limitations of dusk and dawn as BUK OPS sets a new standard for clarity and precision.

Barnett’s pre-season tips to keep crossbows and gear dialed in.

Posted on Wednesday, 29 July, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Ready for Deer Season? Barnett’s pre-season tips to keep crossbows and gear dialed in.

Tarpon Springs, FL (July 28th, 2026) – The anticipation of deer season is hard to beat. Instead of counting down the days, put that excitement to good use. Success often comes down to preparation rather than luck. Before opening day, spend the time making sure both your crossbow, gear and shooting skills are ready.

Inspect Your Crossbow – Look for worn or frayed strings, damaged cables, loose scope mounts and stock screws, and cracks or other damage on the limbs and riser. If something doesn’t look right, have it repaired before the season rather than hoping it lasts one more hunt.

Don’t Store It Cocked – Modern crossbows are built to stay cocked during a hunt, but leaving one cocked for extended periods puts unnecessary stress on the limbs, string and cables. Before heading home safely de-cock the crossbow.

Check Every Arrow – Arrows deserve as much attention as the crossbow. Inspect every shaft for cracks, loose inserts, damaged vanes and cracked nocks. Roll them on a flat surface to check for bends and discard anything questionable. A damaged arrow isn’t worth the risk.

Practice Like You Hunt – Benches are great for sighting in, but deer rarely cooperate by standing in front of one. Practice from the positions you’ll actually use—kneeling, sitting, standing, from a tree stand or inside a ground blind. Wear your hunting jacket and gloves to make sure nothing interferes with your shooting. Life-sized deer targets reinforce distance estimation and realistic shot placement.

Know Your Distances – Practice estimating distances before confirming them with a rangefinder. Learning what 20, 30 and 40 yards actually look like makes distance estimation second nature and speeds up decision-making when a deer appears unexpectedly.

Pack Before Opening Day – Extra arrows, a rangefinder, Allen keys, a broadhead wrench, string wax and a first-aid kit don’t take up much room but can save a hunt when something goes wrong.

Cock Your Crossbow the Same Way Every Time – Whether you’re using a rope cocker or a crank, make sure the string is centered evenly before every shot. An unevenly cocked string can shift your point of impact, even if the crossbow was perfectly sighted in the last time you shot it. It’s one of the easiest accuracy problems to prevent.

Preparation builds confidence. When your equipment has been checked, your crossbow is shooting how it should, and your gear is packed, you can focus on making an ethical shot instead of worrying about your equipment.

TRUE Unveils the CLAST EDC Utility Knives

Posted on Wednesday, 29 July, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Built to Work, Designed to Carry: TRUE Unveils the CLAST Utility Knife Line

Fort Worth, Texas (July 28, 2026) – There are many tools we use in our everyday lives. But few out there are truly practical without sacrificing design. That’s especially true for everyday carry utility knives. Most are bulky and can be difficult to carry, but they still serve their purpose. But that has changed with TRUE’s new CLAST line of EDC Utility Knives.

CLAST pocket utility knives are both sleek and modern, featuring intentional design and performance materials that embrace the proven reliability and ease of use of standard utility blades. The CLAST line features easy, one-handed locking deployment, deep-carry pocket clips, and durable handles, giving users everything needed for a daily carry that is as easy to replace with a fresh, sharp blade as it is to put in a pocket. When a blade dulls, chips, or corrodes, simply flip it around for a fresh side, or replace it entirely as needed, instantly restoring peak cutting performance with minimal time and effort.

What sets TRUE CLAST line apart is how seamlessly function and form coexist. Typically, utility knives are bulky, purely industrial tools. The TRUE CLAST reframes that perception, featuring a sleek, modern silhouette that makes it slim in the pocket, balanced in the hand, and intentional in every detail. The TRUE CLAST’s clean lines, precision machining, and durable materials give it the presence and feel of a premium pocket knife.

CLAST Full-Size $34.99

CLAST Compact $24.99

CLAST Keychain $19.99

The CLAST line consists of three different products, starting with the CLAST Full-Size Utility Knife, which delivers fast one‐handed opening, a secure button lock, replaceable blades, and integrated blade storage. It also features a durable Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon (FRN) handle, an ambidextrous pocket clip, a rope-cutter notch, and a multi-tool pommel.

The CLAST Compact Folding Utility Knife has many of the features of its larger brother, but in a smaller package, measuring just over an inch shorter.

The CLAST Keychain Utility Knife features a thumbslider with four locking positions, up to 1.06” cutting length, a Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon handle, and can be attached to a keychain.

All CLAST knives include multiple SK-5 utility blades and are compatible with a wide range of standard utility blade styles, such as hooked or serrated edges.

Whether opening or breaking down boxes, trimming material, cutting rope, or handling precision cuts, the TRUE CLAST offers a modern rethinking of what everyday tools should be – a no-compromise solution.

Explore the full line of TRUE products by visiting TRUEgear.com.

functional tools that fit in your pocket, allowing you to tackle anything without having to quit, disrupt or postpone your daily activities. TRUE is not just a name; it’s what the brand is about.

NSSF-Opposed Oregon Anti-Hunting Ballot Initiative Fails

NSSF-Opposed Oregon Anti-Hunting Ballot Initiative Fails

WASHINGTON, D.C. — An Oregon anti-hunting ballot initiative opposed by NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, failed to gather enough certified signatures to be considered by voters. Oregon’s Initiative Petition 28 (IP 28), called the “People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) Act,” was proposed to prohibit and criminalize hunting, trapping and livestock production.

The proposed ballot initiative was disqualified by the Oregon Secretary of State’s Elections Division for consideration by voters on Nov. 3, 2026, after it gathered just 104,262 valid signatures, well below the threshold requirement of 117,173 required signatures.

“This radical anti-hunting plan was clearly, and correctly, rejected by Oregonians who wanted no part of this attack on the heritage of outdoorsmanship and proven conservation efforts that managed hunting requires,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The proposal would have, without question, destroyed Oregon’s rural communities, outdoor economy and abundant wildlife. Hunters are the original wildlife conservationists and are crucial to sustained propagation of managed wildlife for future generations. Oregonians are correct to reject this short-sighted and politically-driven agenda that would have annihilated over a century’s work to restore wildlife across Oregon’s landscape.”

NSSF vocally opposed IP 28, which was pitched to voters as a measure to strengthen state animal cruelty laws. However, Oregon already punishes animal cruelty. IP 28 would have removed legal protections for regulated hunting, fishing, ranching and other lawful activities that are critical for wildlife management, culturally rooted and economically important across the state.

Further, IP 28 would have threatened the funding structure that supports wild game and nongame species alike. In fact, 85 percent of Oregon’s wildlife money comes from the combination of excise taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers and hunting license, permit and stamp fees. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) apportioned $1.3 billion to state wildlife agencies last year. Over $804 million of that is sourced directly from the Pittman-Robertson excise tax paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers. Oregon received over $9.7 million from that apportionment.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) reports that hunting, fishing and wildlife watching accounted for $1.2 billion in spending in 2019, or $1.47 billion when adjusted for inflation. Oregon’s outdoor recreation economy generated $9 billion in economic impact in 2024, supporting more than 76,000 jobs and accounts for 2.7 percent of state gross domestic product.

Choosing the Right Ammo for the Right Use.

Posted on Monday, 27 July, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

WHY AMMO DESIGN MATTERS

Gun owners spend a ton of time on the range training with full metal jacket (FMJ) ammunition. It’s affordable, widely available, and reliable enough to run through thousands of rounds at the range.

But when the conversation turns to 9mm self-defense, the ammunition inside your magazine requires a lot more scrutiny … for a number of reasons.

Apex Ammunition to Exhibit at 2026 Ducks Unlimited Expo

Columbus, Miss. (July 23, 2026) – Apex Ammunition is excited to return as an exhibitor at this year’s Ducks Unlimited Expo in Memphis, TN. The three-day show celebrating conservation and all things waterfowl will be held July 31 – August 2, at the Renasant Convention Center. Apex will have its newest Waterfowl Stratified S3 Steel loads on display in addition to its award-winning Waterfowl TSS and TSS/S3 Steel Blend loads.

Apex will also be launching a new waterfowl line with 24.7 Hunt this fall and is excited to welcome the 24.7 Hunt team to Booth #1209 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Saturday during the expo in celebration of the new collaboration. Stop by to meet both teams, learn more about the partnership, and see the latest from Apex Ammunition.

“Ducks Unlimited’s steadfast commitment to the conservation, restoration and management of wetlands and associated habitats is critical to healthy waterfowl populations in North America, and we are proud to support their cause,” said Jason Lonsberry, President and CEO, Apex Ammunition. “Both of our organizations are passionate about preserving natural habitat and working to help waterfowl hunters have the best experiences possible. That means skies filled with waterfowl and the most reliable ammunition to bag a legal limit.”

Apex will have many of its waterfowl ammunition offerings for sale at the show, including:

Waterfowl Stratified S3 Steel

Featuring layered shot sizes of Apex S3 zinc-coated steel for outstanding performance at multiple ranges – with dense mid-range patterns and increased terminal energy on longer shots for confident kills.

Waterfowl TSS

The Apex Waterfowl TSS Z-series is a devastatingly hard-hitting (18.1 g/cc) Tungsten Super Shot load meticulously handloaded for ultimate consistency and patterning.

Waterfowl TSS / S3 Steel Blend

These “Stratified” loads offer unmatched versatility and excellent value by combining high-density TSS with Apex’s S3 Steel for lethal performance at varying distances.

Founded by U.S. Veterans and hunting enthusiasts in the great state of Mississippi, Apex Ammunition pioneered the commercial application of ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot to

create the hardest hitting, most accurate shot loads in the business. The driving principle behind the company’s continued quest for innovation and better performance is its commitment to delivering a hunting experience like no other. For more information, visit ApexAmmunition.com.

Tasmanian Tiger’s TT Breacher Pack Earns Silver Rating in NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended Program

Posted on Friday, 24 July, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Visit Tasmanian Tiger® at NTOA Law Enforcement Operations Conference and Trade Show in Booth 757, August 30 – 31, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee.

Tasmanian Tiger®’s TT Breacher Pack Earns Silver Rating in NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended Program

Purpose-built breaching pack scores 4.26 out of 5 in real-world evaluations by law enforcement tactical teams.

Knoxville, Tenn. (July 2026) – Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., announced today that its TT Breacher Pack has been tested and recommended by the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program (MTRP), earning an overall score of 4.26 out of 5, placing it in the program’s Silver tier.

The TT Breacher Pack was tested by four NTOA members, including tactical operators specializing in breaching and less-lethal roles, who evaluated the pack across categories including design, durability, storage, versatility, and ease of use. Testers carried the pack during live training and operational deployments, assessing its ability to organize and secure breaching tools such as bolt cutters, sledges, hooligan tools, and detonation components.

“It exceeded our expectations and is a reliable, mission-ready option that we would confidently recommend for tactical breaching operations,” said one tester, a police officer from Pennsylvania who evaluated the pack over nearly two months of SWAT team training and operations. “We have been looking for a solution for our explosive breachers to be able to comfortably carry pre-made charges during certain deployments, and this has been just what we were looking for.”

A tester from Louisiana who used the pack in both breacher and less-lethal roles noted its “excellent durability, comfortable carry system, [and] outstanding modularity.” He continued, “Overall, I am very pleased with the TT Breacher Pack. It offers excellent durability, a comfortable carry system, outstanding modularity, and sufficient capacity for most breaching operations. I would confidently recommend this backpack to breachers or other tactical operators who are looking for a compact, durable, and highly adaptable pack capable of supporting the majority of breaching mission requirements.”

The tester from New York, who scored the pack 4.66 individually, called it “very well thought out, well-constructed” and suited to agencies needing a compact, dedicated tactical breaching solution.

Built on Tasmanian Tiger’s 700-denier CORDURA® construction (500-denier in Multicam), the TT Breacher Pack is purpose-built to carry breaching tools securely and access them fast. Two removable tool compartments organize and separate the gear, while an extendable design accommodates long bolt cutters. Removable padded shoulder straps, side compression straps, and internal mesh pockets round out a system designed to move with the operator, not against them.

The TT Breacher Pack weighs 3.4 lbs./54 oz. and measures 23 x 10.75 x 7 in. / 58 x 27 x 18 cm. It is available in black, olive, and coyote for an MSRP of $359. Multicam is available at an MSRP of $439.

“Tasmanian Tiger built the TT Breacher pack to solve a real problem tactical teams face: organizing and protecting mission-critical breaching tools under real operational stress. Having that validated by NTOA’s testers means a great deal,” said Richard Lewis, President and CEO of Proforce Equipment, Inc.

The MTRP has evaluated more than 3,000 products in real-world conditions since 2003 and is widely regarded by law enforcement agencies as a key resource in tactical equipment purchasing decisions. Results are shared with the law enforcement community through The Tactical Edge magazine, NTOA’s online database, its e-newsletters, and directly with manufacturers. Under NTOA’s MTRP rating scale, products scoring 3.00-3.99 receive the standard MTRP logo, 4.00-4.49 receive the Silver logo, and 4.50-5.00 receive the Gold logo.

IHEA-USA Signs On as Partner for NSSF’s First Shots

Posted on Friday, 24 July, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

July 23, 2026

IHEA-USA Signs On as Partner for NSSF’s First Shots

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is pleased to announce the International Hunter Education Association – United States of America (IHEA-USA) has become an official partner of NSSF’s First Shots^® program.

First Shots is an introductory and refresher target-shooting program offering participants a safe, engaging entry into the shooting sports. IHEA-USA is the professional hunter education association affiliated with the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, as well as fish and hunter education programs in all 50 states. Each year, Hunter Education courses train and certify more than 550,000 students — thanks to the dedication of 32,000-plus instructors, most of whom are volunteers.

Through this partnership between First Shots and IHEA-USA, state agencies will now be able to use First Shots educational materials to support and integrate into their hunter education courses. In addition, these materials can be used in other outreach events to introduce new people and further activate/reactivate lapsed participants.

“Hunter education and firearm safety go hand in hand. Thanks to this partnership between First Shots and IHEA-USA, state agencies will be joining more than 200 current hosts that already leverage the First Shots program to help recruit, retain and reactivate hunters and recreational shooters nationwide,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development.

“It’s not every day that we’re able to build partnerships like this that provide immediate national impact,” said Alex Baer, IHEA-USA Executive Director. “Both the materials and the new funds from this program make it easier for state agency educators to deliver important hands-on firearm training to the public. We are very happy to be part of the First Shots program’s expansion and appreciate NSSF’s passion for safety, education and partnership.”

States that sign on will gain access to First Shots program support materials — which include eye/ear protection, targets, handbooks and other safety literature — and generate incentive funds delivered through the new IHEA-USA Opportunity Bank based on participation numbers reported at the end of each month.

Presently, 11 states are utilizing the program: Ala., Ariz., Iowa, Kan., Maine, Mont., Neb., S.D., Tenn., Texas and Wash.

“Our Hunter Education Instructors are the lifeblood of the South Dakota HuntSAFE Program, known for their dedication and the work they do in their communities. Partnering with the NSSF First Shots program allows us to expand their impact to a broader industry level, providing resources that strengthen our program and support our goal of growing hunter education and shooting sports participation across South Dakota,” said Brandon Maahs, South Dakota HuntSAFE Coordinator.

“Maine has introduced over 400 new shooters to the world of the shooting sports in just the past three months through the First Shots program,” said Ronald Fournier, Recreational Safety Supervisor for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. “First Shots meshes perfectly with our existing offerings and has increased the effectiveness of our program and the enjoyment for our participants. It’s exciting to see a participant light up after their experience with a great big smile and sense of accomplishment and increased self-confidence. Many bring their targets home to display or show to their parents, friends or peers, which will only help us to grow this program.”

GA-ASI, Thales, Octave and dotOcean Sign MOU as Part of Belgium-Based Industrial Cooperation Initiative

GA-ASI, Thales, Octave and dotOcean Sign MOU as Part of Belgium-Based Industrial Cooperation Initiative | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

GA-ASI, THALES, OCTAVE AND DOTOCEAN SIGN MOU AS PART OF BELGIUM-BASED INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION INITIATIVE

FARNBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW – 23 July 2026 – At the Farnborough International Airshow on July 22, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), Thales Belgium, Octave Intelligence plc (which includes Luciad NV), and dotOcean signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on integration- and manufacturing-related activity for the operation of multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems for the MQ-9B SkyGuardian^® and SeaGuardian^® Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) manufactured by GA-ASI.

H.E. Theo Francken, Belgian Minister of Defence: “This collaboration perfectly demonstrates why investing in Defence also means investing in our own economy and technological knowledge. Companies such as Thales Belgium, Octave and dotOcean bring their high-quality expertise on board one of the most advanced unmanned systems in the world. In this way, we not only strengthen our military capabilities, but also create opportunities for our companies, our engineers, and our talent. The MQ-9B SkyGuardian is therefore not only an important capability for Defence, but also a lever for innovation and a strong defence industry.”

“We’re excited to be working with these important aerospace businesses in Belgium,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. “We look forward to working with Thales, Octave, and dotOcean to help us develop software for our intelligence center that will be rooted in GA-ASI’s situational awareness capability. We expect the human-machine interface, external interface adaptors, and additional automated data exploitation to come from Belgian industry.”

For MQ-9B operators, GA-ASI delivers unified, end-to-end ISR operations and Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) framework. GA-ASI will look to integrate Thales Belgium’s C4ISR software that connects stakeholders, enables real-time information sharing, and transforms data into a competitive advantage in decision-making through cutting-edge technologies such as AI, as well as Octave’s Alto portfolio (formerly Luciad) for high-performance geospatial visualization, and dotOcean’s data processing capability that transforms sensor data into actionable intelligence ready for AI and system automation, with an anticipated demo of the capability later this year. Other capabilities may be added as part of subsequent demos.

These new capabilities are expected to meet the needs of a growing list of international customers, particularly in Europe. Belgian Defence has joined the UK Royal Air Force as the first European countries to begin MQ-9B operations.

“Octave is proud to partner with GA-ASI, Thales, and dotOcean to advance innovation for Belgian Defence and beyond,” said Maximilian Weber, Octave vice president in Europe. “The integration of Octave Alto, relied on by defense agencies around the world, will bring advanced visualization and real-time situational analysis capabilities to support fast, coordinated decision-making.”

“dotOcean is looking forward to collaborating with GA-ASI, Thales and Octave to enable mission automation by generating actionable data from on-board sensors. We are eager to support maritime and multi domain missions for international defense clients,” said Koen Geirnaert, CEO of dotOcean.
