A Global Leader in Military Optics

NSSF Board of Governors Welcomes Thomas DeBolt and Jacquelyn Clark

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is pleased to announce that industry executive Thomas DeBolt and firearm business owner Jacquelyn Clark have been elected to the NSSF Board of Governors.

DeBolt is the CEO of Benelli USA and President of Stoeger Industries. Clark is the Founder and Co-owner of Bristlecone Shooting, Training & Retail Center in Lakewood, Colorado.

“I’m proud to join this dedicated group of firearm industry leaders and look forward to working with them to help make NSSF even more influential in promoting and protecting our industry’s interests,” said DeBolt.

Said Clark, “I’m excited to fill the firearm retailer seat on the Board of Governors and to lend my expertise and perspective to their important work.”

In his role as CEO, DeBolt oversees U.S. operations for all of Benelli USA’s business. He has been instrumental in driving the company’s success since joining in August, 2013. DeBolt brings extensive leadership experience along with a proven track record of strategic planning, cultural development and operational excellence, as well as his passion for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation.

Clark and her husband, Bryan, opened the Bristlecone shooting and training facility in 2015 after their research showed that target-shooting enthusiasts in the Denver area were underserved. Bristlecone was awarded NSSF’s highest rating of Five Stars in 2017 and was voted Best Indoor Shooting Range in Denver by Westword in 2021. In addition to her business experience within and outside the firearm industry, Clark is a Certified Defensive Firearms Coach.

“NSSF welcomes Jacquelyn and Tom to the NSSF Board of Governors,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We are fortunate to have their support and to be able to draw on their extensive experience in the firearm industry.”

DeBolt and Clark’s terms on the NSSF Board of Governors began following their election during last month’s SHOT Show^®, the NSSF-owned firearm industry trade show.

Fundamental Fleece

Fundamental Fleece

Blocker Outdoors’ new ¼ Zip Performance Fleece Shirt and Performance Fleece Hoodie combine high-quality and value in exceptional midweight tops.

MUSKEGON, MI (February 17, 2025) – Nothing beats the feel of fleece on your skin. It’s why fleece shirts and jackets have a home in almost every closet. Factor in fleece’s thermal capacities, and it’s no wonder hunters choose fleece garments for layering and as a standalone in moderate conditions.

Known for its exceptional quality and right-priced gear, Blocker Outdoors introduces the new ¼ Zip Performance Fleece Shirt and Performance Fleece Hoodie.

PERFORMANCE FLEECE HOODIE (Realtree APX)

“The new Performance Fleece shirt and hoodie are great midweight options, whether worn on the outside with a base layer, or as the centerpiece of a warmer layering system,” said Blocker Outdoors’ Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “And you really can’t beat it for the price.”

While the brushed fleece lining provides warmth and comfort, it’s the outer layer that makes its mark in the woods. “The outer polyester material is smooth and super quiet,” said Allie. You can also choose from four popular camouflage patterns to match your surroundings.

PERFORMANCE FLEECE 1/4 ZIP SHIRT (Mossy Oak Country Roots)

From a technology standpoint, the ¼ Zip Performance Fleece Shirt and Performance Fleece Hoodie feature Blocker Outdoors’ S3^® Silver Antimicrobial technology, whereby fabric threads are impregnated with silver ions that bind to and penetrate the surface of odor-causing bacteria on contact. Silver ions disrupt the microbe’s DNA, preventing the formation of odor and keeping your garments fresher for longer.

Special elements of the ¼ Zip Performance Fleece Shirt include Lycra thumb loops to keep sleeves in place and pass-through pocket for storage and hand warming. The Performance Fleece Hoodie sports a kangaroo pouch pocket for storage and hand warming, fitted three-piece hood with drawstring adjusters, and rib knit cuffs and waist for a snug fit.

Blocker Performance Fleece Hoodie FEATURES:

Smooth polyester fabric with a warm brushed fleece lining
S3^® Anti-microbial finish prevents odors

Kangaroo pouch pocket for storage & warmth
Rib knit cuffs & waist for a snug fit

A VISIT WITH SPYDERCO AT SHOT SHOW 2025 REVEALD SOME INTERESTING NEW KNIVES

Posted on Friday, 14 February, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

I’m excited to share my experience visiting Spyderco at SHOT Show 2025! It was a blast checking out all their new knives and catching up with the Spyderco crew.

First off, I have to say that the Spyderco booth was buzzing with excitement. There were tons of people checking out the new releases, and everyone was super stoked to see what Spyderco had come up with. I was especially impressed by the buzz around the new Para 3 Salt. It’s awesome to see Spyderco expanding their Salt Series with such an iconic model. The yellow and black G-10 handles look amazing, and the Magnacut steel is perfect for anyone who spends time around water. I can already tell that this knife is going to be a hit with fishermen, divers, and anyone who needs a reliable knife for harsh environments.

Another knife that caught my eye was the Native 5 Lightweight in CPM-15V. I’m a big fan of the Native 5 platform, and I love seeing it in different steels and handle materials. The CPM-15V steel is super tough and wear-resistant, and the lightweight FRN handles make this knife a perfect everyday carry option. I’m definitely going to have to add this one to my collection.

I also got a chance to check out the new Edgerati. This knife has a really unique design, with its skeletonized aluminum handles and sleek profile. It’s definitely a looker, and it feels great in the hand. I’m curious to see how this knife performs in real-world use.

Of course, no visit to the Spyderco booth would be complete without talking to the Spyderco team. They’re always so passionate about their products, and they’re always happy to answer questions and talk about knives. I had a great conversation with some very knowledgeable folks about the new models, and I learned a lot about the design process and the different materials that Spyderco uses.

Overall, my visit to the Spyderco booth at SHOT Show 2025 was a fantastic experience. Spyderco continues to innovate and push the boundaries of knife design, and I’m always impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of their products. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

IDEX 2025: Controp Showcases Next-Gen EO/IR Systems

Posted on Friday, 14 February, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

IDEX 2025: Controp Showcases Next-Gen EO/IR Systems

Controp Showcases Next-Generation EO/IR Systems and Expands its Integrated Defense Portfolio at IDEX 2025

Hod Hasharon, Feb. 13, 2025 – Controp, a leading provider of advanced electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) solutions, is unveiling a range of innovative systems at IDEX, highlighting the company’s strategic shift from specialized payloads to comprehensive defense solutions. Building on decades of innovation, Controp’s “Defining Clarity” approach emphasizes new capabilities in integrated EO/IR based systems and solutions, AI-driven analytics, and global market expansion.

Expanding from Payloads to Integrated Solutions

Originally known for its high-performance stabilized sensor payloads, Controp has expanded its offerings to provide comprehensive operational solutions. These solutions combine advanced sensors, onboard processing, and machine learning to enhance situational awareness for air defense, counter-UAS, maritime, and land surveillance missions.

“At IDEX, we are showcasing how our expanded portfolio addresses the complex demands of modern battlefields,” explains Hagay Azani, President and CEO of Controp. “From lightweight micro-gimbals for UAVs and loitering munitions to long-range surveillance and advanced detection systems, our new offerings demonstrate the shift from standalone sensor payloads to scalable, integrated defense ecosystems.”

Showcasing the SPEED Series and STAMP XED

Visitors at IDEX can explore Controp’s flagship SPEED series of EO/IR surveillance systems, recognized globally for long-range observation and high-precision stabilization. The SPEED ER—continuously updated since its initial release—offers extended-range surveillance, while the SPEED MR delivers similar capabilities in a more compact form factor. Both systems have demonstrated their performance over a decade, operating in harsh desert conditions and high elevations across the Middle East and Central Asia. In parallel, the STAMP family of miniature UAV payloads showcases the new STAMP XED, which meets the demand for extended-range optics and advanced target tracking in Group 2 UAVs. Addressing the need for high-performance miniaturized EO/IR systems, Controp’s subsidiary Microcon Vision will unveil its latest micro payloads for loitering munitions and drones.

AI at the Sensor Level

Controp’s embedded Smart Vision analytics suite highlights the company’s emphasis on integrating AI-driven processing close to the sensor. This architecture maintains data fidelity, allowing for quick detection, tracking, and classification of potential threats. By minimizing reliance on centralized processing, operators experience faster decision cycles and reduced latency in mission-critical situations.

Global Expansion and Local Partnerships

With more than 500 employees and a global network of subsidiaries—including Controp-USA and ControPARAS in India—and established operations in the UAE and other locations worldwide, Controp’s international footprint continues to grow. These entities support local production, technology transfers, and rapid-response services to strategic markets.

“Our establishment of joint ventures and representative offices guarantees that our advanced EO/IR technologies are always accessible to customers,” says Doron Zalts, VP of International Marketing & Business Development. “It also demonstrates our commitment to equipping regional partners with the technical knowledge and manufacturing capabilities they require for long-term self-sufficiency.”

About Controp

Founded in 1988, Controp has become a premier innovator in electro-optical and infrared technologies. Since 2012, it has been part of Rafael Aeronautics, delivering high-performance imaging solutions for defense, homeland security, and industrial markets worldwide. Controp’s portfolio spans airborne platforms, maritime systems, land-based vehicles, and perimeter security solutions, all underpinned by robust stabilization, precise optics, and AI-powered analytics.

NEW Viper® Enclosed Shotgun Dot changes the game.

Posted on Friday, 14 February, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Vortex Optics logo transparent PNG - StickPNG

Low Profile. Rugged. Shotgun Ready.
The Viper^® Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot.
February 13, 2025

BARNEVELD, Wis. – The latest release from Vortex^® will change how you think about shotgun red dots. The Viper^® Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot packs everything a turkey hunter needs into a rugged, intuitive platform. And it mounts to dozens of shotgun platforms with no plates or adapters.

Patent-Pending Integrated Mount Changes the Game on Shotgun Dots.

No more plates or rails. The new Viper^® Shotgun Dot mounts directly to your shotgun for out-of-the-box convenience and a more natural cheek weld.

For years, hunters and shooters who wanted to mount a red dot to their shotgun had to settle for placing it on the rib, or using a variety of plates and shims. Viper^® changes all that. With its integrated mount, and universal mounting system, it’s simple to get Viper^® mounted on your drilled and tapped shotgun right out of the box.
Not only does this get you mounted up and into the field faster, it ensures your dot is in a natural location that doesn’t interfere with your cheek weld. Put it all together and you get a dot that fits your shotgun and how you shoot.

Viper^® Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot 3 MOA Dot
MAP $299.99 | MSRP $429.99

Viper^®Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot Multi-Reticle
MAP $349.99 | MSRP $499.99

Find a full list of compatible shotgun platforms here.

Enclosed Aluminum Housing Locks Out Debris and Weather.

Built for the hunt, the Viper^®keeps your point of aim protected with an enclosed emitter.

From chasing toms through fields and forests, to huddling into cat tails when ducks cup their wings, shotgun red dots are constantly in harms way. The Viper^®’s low-profile, enclosed design protects your point of aim from debris, weather, and whatever else you encounter in the field. Plus, even with its generous viewing window, Viper^®’s low profile helps avoid snags and hangups when the cover gets thick.

Choose The Right Reticle for Your Hunt.

The available multi-reticle system provides seven different options, including a 3 MOA dot.

With the Viper^® Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot, hunters can choose between a simple 3 MOA red dot, or the new multi-reticle system from Vortex^®. Offering seven unique reticle options, the system lets shooters choose which is best for their scenario. Not only is this system adaptable to different hunts, it means that one dot can take a hunter from the turkey woods to the duck pond at the push of a button.

NSSF Praises U.S. Sen. Steve Daines’ Protecting Hunters and Anglers Act Introduction

Posted on Friday, 14 February, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

February 13, 2025

NSSF Praises U.S. Sen. Steve Daines’ Protecting Hunters and Anglers Act Introduction

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, praises U.S. Sen. Steve Daines’ (R-Mont.) introduction of S. 537, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, which would prohibit the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) from banning the use of traditional lead ammunition and tackle absent approval by the applicable state fish and wildlife department and proof that lead ammunition and tackle is primarily causing a wildlife population decline.

The legislation has 29 co-sponsors.

“This legislation is tremendously important to protect the primary funding for wildlife conservation in America,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Firearm and ammunition manufacturers have paid over $29 billion, when adjusted for inflation, since 1937 and that has been the leading funding source of wildlife and habitat conservation in America. Efforts by bureaucrats to limit or eliminate the use of traditional lead ammunition and fishing tackle without scientific evidence puts those conservation funds at serious risk by increasing costs and creating barriers to participation in outdoor recreation.”

NSSF denounced the USFWS Final Rule it published in 2023 that offered sportsmen and women a “bait-and-switch” deal to open hunting and fishing opportunities on eight National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs), but banned the use of traditional lead ammunition and fishing tackle. The Final Rule offered no scientific evidence of detrimental population impacts to support banning the use of traditional ammunition, despite promises by the Biden administration to “follow the science.”

Firearm and ammunition manufacturers pay a 10 and 11 percent excise tax to the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, commonly referred to as the “Pittman-Robertson excise tax.” The firearm and ammunition industry was directly responsible for $886.5 million Pittman-Robertson taxes of the $1.3 billion apportioned to the states through the USFWS for state conservation and education programs in 2024 alone. Since 1937, the firearm and ammunition industry has paid over $29 billion into the fund since its inception in 1937, when adjusted for inflation.

Similar legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.) as H.R. 556, under the same title.

Court Blocks Maine’s 72-Hour Waiting Period Law in NSSF Supported Challenge

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, lauds the decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine to grant a preliminary injunction of the state’s 72-hour waiting period law handed down today. The law, passed in 2024, required firearm retailers to delay delivery to a law-abiding citizen of lawfully-sold firearms for three days after an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) verification allows a transaction to proceed. The challenge to the law is supported by NSSF.

“This decision by the court is an affirmation that unconstitutional delays on the free exercise of rights are not in compliance with Second Amendment rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Rights delayed are rights denied. The decision to enjoin this law while it is challenged in court ensures that law-abiding Mainers are not encumbered and deprived of their rights to keep and bear arms after they have proven they are not prohibited from legally possessing a firearm.”

The court rejected Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey’s argument that the Second Amendment does not protect the right to acquire a firearm as “interpretative jui jitsu that would make Kafka blush,” and which the “Supreme Court would view with great skepticism.”

The lawsuit against Maine’s Attorney General Frey was filed by several individuals, federally licensed firearm dealers (FFLs) and an organization that provides firearm training. One of the plaintiffs is a domestic-abuse survivor and certified firearm instructor who offers self-defense classes to victims and survivors. Maine’s 72-hour waiting period law prevents the women she assists from adequately defending themselves against abusive partners who pose a credible and imminent threat to their physical safety, as it forces them to wait three days to secure a firearm even when they have passed the NICS background check. Likewise, another plaintiff—a federally licensed firearm dealer—has been forced to delay sales to qualified individuals with time-sensitive needs, including a single woman who was being stalked and a married couple whose home was burglarized. These stories are emblematic of the countless number of individuals whose rights have been denied and whose safety has been put in jeopardy due to Maine’s 72-hour waiting period.

NSSF supported the plaintiffs who brought the challenge to the law that passed in the wake of the tragic and senseless murders in Lewiston, Maine. State lawmakers, and Maine Gov. Janet Mills, passed and enacted the law under pressure by gun control groups to “do something.” The law they crafted does little to improve public safety and only denies the Constitutional rights of those who obey the law. A commission studied the tragic murders and concluded that multi-agency failures, including by the U.S. Army Reserve and local law enforcement, were to blame for the threat posed by the murderer.
