Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins Will Speak at SHOT Show Suicide Prevention Town Hall

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins Will Speak at SHOT Show Suicide Prevention Town Hall

LAS VEGAS — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, will present for the first time a general session on suicide prevention at its annual trade show — the SHOT Show — in Las Vegas this month. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins will deliver opening remarks at the session.

Secretary Collins will be followed by a panel of suicide prevention and industry experts, including NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi, who will focus on how the firearm-owning community can help reduce suicide deaths, particularly those involving a firearm.

The SHOT Show Suicide Prevention Town Hall will take place on Thursday, January 22, from 2 to 3:15 p.m. local time. Anyone who is registered for the SHOT Show and has interest in helping to prevent suicide is welcome to attend this session. Those already registered for SHOT Show can add the suicide prevention session to their schedule by emailing regmgr@shotshow.org. Those who have not yet registered for the show can add the session when making their registration.

“NSSF is honored to have Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins provide the keynote address at the first SHOT Show Suicide Prevention Town Hall,” said Bartozzi. “Addressing suicide prevention, especially suicide involving firearms, is a priority for NSSF. Our community has a role to play in saving lives.”

For nearly a decade, NSSF has been working to help reduce suicide deaths among veterans and non-veterans. Yearly, more than 50 percent of U.S. suicide deaths are by self-inflicted firearm injury, and that number rises to 74 percent among veterans. There is hope, however, in knowing that suicide is preventable, and that trusted messengers — like individuals and companies in the firearm community — can inform gun owners and their families how to help loved ones who are at risk.

To heighten awareness about suicide prevention in the firearm-owning community and beyond, NSSF has collaborated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and developed resources to equip individuals and organizations with knowledge to save lives. The NSSF-AFSP suicide prevention toolkit for firearm retailers and shooting ranges is at the core of the NSSF-AFSP “Have a Brave Conversation” suicide prevention program.

The panel of suicide prevention and industry experts will cover how industry and the firearm-owning community can deliver messaging to equip individuals to save lives. These messages can cover knowing about the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Veterans Crisis Line (call 988 and press 1) to understanding the warning signs of suicide to knowing how to have a “brave conversation” with someone you’re concerned about.

The panelists will be Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO and Chairman of the Project ChildSafe Foundation; Jacquelyn Clark, co-owner of Bristlecone Shooting, Training and Retail Center and a member of the NSSF Board of Governors; Dr. Emmy Betz, MD, MPH, Professor, Emergency Medicine, Univ. of Colorado Anschutz; Dr. Chris Barsotti, MD, Emergency Physician, Berkshire Medical Center; and Michael Sodini, President, Walk the Talk America. Bill Brassard, NSSF Senior Director, Communications, who oversees NSSF’s suicide prevention efforts, will moderate.

SHOT Show is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries. It is the world’s premier exposition of firearms, ammunition, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics and related products and services. The SHOT Show is a trade show and not open to the general public.

Remember, those who are already registered for SHOT Show can add the Suicide Prevention Town Hall to their schedule by emailing regmgr@shotshow.org.



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.

Mapping at Scale: The Robot Dog Built for Modern Security Missions

Organizations responsible for logistics, infrastructure, and critical facilities are increasingly required to inspect, map, and monitor enormous areas — sometimes hazardous or inaccessible — without relying on large human teams. Existing ground robots often struggle to combine stability, environmental awareness, and long operational range, leaving a technological gap that limits wider deployment of autonomous systems.

The newly introduced D5 robot, unveiled at the iREX exhibition in Tokyo, is designed to close that gap. Standing nearly one meter tall, the quadruped combines legged mobility with a wheeled mode, allowing it to move confidently on stairs and uneven surfaces while still maintaining efficient travel across open floors and long corridors. Its dual-processor architecture, based on NVIDIA Orin and RK3588, delivers roughly 275 TOPS of computing power dedicated to real-time SLAM, obstacle avoidance, object recognition, and navigation without operator input.

According to Interesting Engineering, one of the system’s most notable capabilities is its ability to map and autonomously navigate areas of up to one million square meters — the scale of industrial zones, warehouses, or multi-site facilities — and conduct continual inspection routes of up to 14 kms. The perception suite combines four 120° fisheye cameras for full 360° coverage with high-resolution front and rear LiDAR units that generate dense 3D point clouds, giving the robot a detailed spatial understanding of its surroundings.

Durability is central to the design: the robot uses a reinforced aluminum structure, closed-loop torque control, and can carry up to 30 kilograms for over two hours. It is also IP67-rated and built to operate in temperatures ranging from –20°C to 55°C, enabling deployment in harsh outdoor or industrial environments.

Although introduced in a civilian robotics context, the robot’s capabilities align closely with emerging security and defense needs. Autonomous ground platforms with long-range endurance, advanced sensing, and safe navigation can support perimeter monitoring, patrols in hazardous zones, inspection of sensitive infrastructure, and ground-level intelligence collection — tasks that traditionally require significant manpower.

The robot illustrates a broader shift in robotics toward versatile, terrain-capable platforms supported by stronger on-board computing and perception. These developments are gradually expanding the range of missions in which autonomy can reliably replace or augment human operators.

Diamondback Firearms Introduces the SDR-A; Lightweight, Hammerless Aluminum Revolver Built for Everyday Carry

Posted on Monday, 12 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Diamondback Firearms Introduces the SDR-A; Lightweight, Hammerless Aluminum Revolver Built for Everyday Carry

Cocoa, FL – January 9th, 2026 – Diamondback Firearms announces the launch of the SDR-A, an aluminum-frame, hammerless .38 Special +P revolver engineered specifically for modern everyday carry. The SDR-A expands Diamondback’s Small Defensive Revolver lineup with a lightweight, snag-free option designed for personal protection, concealability, and reliability.

Built on a forged 7075-T6 aluminum frame and weighing just 15.6 ounces, the SDR-A is Diamondback’s lightest revolver to date. Chambered in .38 Special +P SDR-A is purpose-built for defensive carry without sacrificing performance or durability.

The hammerless design eliminates snag points during draw while maintaining a smooth, non-stacking double-action trigger pull rated between 9.0 and 11.5 pounds, optimized for safe, consistent EDC use. A fixed orange fiber-optic front sight paired with a low-profile green fiber-optic rear sight enhances rapid target acquisition in defensive scenarios.

“Modern shooters are rediscovering revolvers for everyday carry, and the demand for lightweight, American-made options continues to grow,” said Simon McCartney, Sales and Business Development Manager at Diamondback Firearms. “The SDR-A supports that demand by delivering a revolver that is easy to carry, simple to operate, and built with the quality today’s customers expect.”

The SDR-A features a 2-inch stainless steel barrel, a stainless steel cylinder, and Diamondback’s proven push-button cylinder release for fast, intuitive operation. A Hogue rubber grip with Diamondback branding enhances control while maintaining compatibility with J-frame-style grip options, giving users flexibility with aftermarket accessories and carry preferences.

“The SDR-A was designed with real-world personal protection in mind,” said Dave Larson, Marketing Director at Diamondback Firearms. “Its aluminum frame dramatically reduces carry weight, and the hammerless design makes it ideal for concealed carry without compromise. This is a revolver you can comfortably carry every day, not just own.”

As part of Diamondback’s continued commitment to American manufacturing, the SDR-A is proudly made in the USA and expands a revolver lineup that now spans stainless steel, nitride, polished, and lightweight aluminum configurations.

The Diamondback SDR-A is available through authorized Diamondback dealers nationwide with an MSRP of $614.

SDR-A Specifications Overview

  • Caliber: .38 Special +P
  • Capacity: 6 rounds
  • Action: Double Action Only
  • Frame Material: Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum
  • Cylinder Material: Stainless Steel
  • Barrel Length: 2.00 inches
  • Weight: 15.6 oz

$200 Federal Tax Stamp Fee Eliminated: What This Means for You

As of January 1, 2026, the federal tax stamp fee for suppressors and short-barreled rifles (SBRs) has been reduced from $200 to $0. While the financial barrier ($200) has been removed, the legal process (NFA registration) remains in effect.

What Changed: You no longer pay the ATF $200 to register an NFA item.
What Stayed the Same: You must still file an ATF Form 1 (to make/configure an SBR) or Form 4 (to buy a suppressor/factory SBR), submit fingerprints/photos, undergo the background check, and wait for approval.

Here is your definitive guide to the new regulations, how they affect your wallet, and why it is arguably the best time in history to upgrade your loadout.

Weatherby® Launches New Fast-Twist 25 Caliber Cartridge.

Posted on Friday, 9 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Weatherby® Launches New Fast-Twist 25 Caliber Cartridge.

Sheridan, WY – January 7, 2026. Weatherby continues to lead the industry in cartridge innovation with the introduction of the 25 WBY RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) the newest addition to the RPM family. Designed to deliver true magnum performance from lightweight, compact rifles, the 25 RPM reinforces Weatherby’s position at the top of the mountain for quarter-bore cartridges.

Weatherby has always been known for pushing velocity, energy, and ballistic efficiency beyond what shooters expect. With the 25 RPM, that legacy continues. Built on the same proven design philosophy as the 6.5 RPM and 338 RPM, the 25 RPM is engineered specifically for the Mark V 6 lug action, delivering exceptional performance without the weight and length of a traditional magnum platform.

At the heart of the 25 RPM is a modern case design featuring a rebated rim, minimal body taper, and a 35-degree shoulder. This geometry increases usable case capacity while improving efficiency and consistency. By slightly shortening and refining the proven RPM case design, Weatherby optimized overall cartridge length to support today’s heavy for caliber, high BC bullets without compromise.

The result is a cartridge that thrives with fast twist rates (1:7.5) and long, sleek projectiles. The 25 RPM is capable of pushing a 133 gr Berger at 3,000 feet per second, delivering flatter trajectories, higher retained energy, and superior downrange performance compared to legacy quarter-bore cartridges. When compared to popular alternatives like the 25 Creedmoor, 25-06, and 257 Roberts, the 25 RPM offers a clear ballistic advantage.

“It’s been 80 years since my grandfather introduced his favorite cartridge, the 257 Wby Mag.

Rather than updating the all-time “King of the Quarter Bore”, we felt it was fitting to introduce the 25 WBY RPM alongside Roy’s favorite cartridge with the purposeful intent of loading heavy for caliber bullets that are now so readily available. The end result will be an unstoppable pair of 25’s!” -Adam Weatherby, CEO Weatherby Inc

Versatility is another defining feature of the 25 RPM. While it excels with heavy, high BC bullets for long-range hunting, it is equally capable of spinning lighter projectiles at speeds exceeding 3300 feet per second. This balance makes the 25 RPM an ideal choice for hunters seeking a do-it-all quarter-bore cartridge that performs across a wide range of game.

At launch, factory ammunition will be offered in multiple configurations, including a 133 gr Berger, 117 gr Barnes LRX, 117 gr Hornady SST, and 107 gr Tipped Hammer HCB. Brass will be available for reloaders.

The 25 RPM will be available in both Weatherby Mark V and Model 307 rifles, making it one of the most accessible new cartridge launches in company history. With rifle options starting at an approachable price point, shooters can experience cutting-edge cartridge performance without compromise.

TriStar Arms All-New

Posted on Friday, 9 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

TriStar Arms Introduces the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock

North Kansas City, MO (January 2026) – TriStar Arms introduces the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock, a 20-gauge over/under shotgun built for precision, adaptability, and confidence in the field. Lightweight and well balanced, the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock is designed to deliver consistent patterns and reliable performance across a wide range of turkey hunting scenarios.

The 20-gauge platform has become a popular choice for its controllability and efficiency. Weighing approximately six pounds, the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock offers a natural point and steady swing while reducing fatigue during long days afield, without sacrificing stability or control.

Its over/under configuration allows two different chokes to be used at the same time, giving the shooter the ability to select which barrel to fire from based on distance, using the barrel selector. A tighter choke can be chosen for longer shots, while a more open choke is immediately available for close range opportunities, eliminating the need to change chokes in the field.

“The Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock delivers practical versatility and dependable performance,” said Ryan Bader, President of TriStar Arms. “Running two chokes in an over/under setup allows for quick decisions when distances change.”

The Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock features chrome-lined barrels, a ventilated rib with a fiber optic front sight for fast sight alignment, and a single selective trigger with a top tang safety that also functions as the barrel selector. Five Beretta and Benelli style Mobil choke tubes are included, consisting of SK, IC, M, IM, and F, allowing patterns to be tailored to specific conditions.

A bronze finished receiver paired with Mossy Oak Greenleaf furniture provides a classic hunting appearance while offering effective concealment. The over/under break action design delivers proven reliability, straightforward maintenance, and confidence in the field.

The TriStar Arms Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock is available now with an

MSRP of $879.00, offering a well balanced and adaptable shotgun that combines performance, craftsmanship, and value.

NEW Vortex® AMG® 1-10×24 FFP

Posted on Friday, 9 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Vortex-logo-1-1

VORTEX® INTRODUCES THE  AMG® 1-10×24 FFP RIFLESCOPE: ENGINEERED TO THE STANDARDS OF THOSE WHO HOLD THE LINE.

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Born from the standards of elite military units, the AMG® 1-10×24 delivers high-power magnification and optical clarity to compact, short-barreled carbines — leaving rail space for thermal attachments, lasers, offset red dots, and backup irons.
British SAS, Royal Marines, and U.S. SOCOM units set the baseline for zero retention, optical performance, and extended operational durability. Over years of testing, Vortex® engineers pushed the AMG® 1-10×24 against those standards until it exceeded every requirement.
The result is the most advanced optical and mechanical system Vortex® has engineered in an LPVO.
“The project started when the UK Ministry of Defense asked for an optic that didn’t exist and nobody else would make,” says Andy Haffemann, Vortex® Advanced Design Manager. “Over years of iterations, failed prototypes — hundreds of lenses turned to dust through recoil testing — we refined every detail through connections at UK Ministry of Defense and U.S. Special Operations Command until it met their combined expectations.”

FEATURES:

  • CLASS LEADING HD OPTICAL SYSTEM – Stunning resolution and exceptionally wide field of view.
  • TOOLLESS TURRETS – Fast, tool-free zero with reliable return and micro adjustment.
  • DUAL ZERO TURRETS – Switch zeros for suppressed, unsuppressed, super or subsonic, light or heavyweight loads.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT, COMPACT BUILD – Just 8.4″ and 18.8 ounces, fits short-barreled carbines and frees up the rail for attachments.
  • LOCKING FAST-FOCUS DIOPTER (PATENTED) – Locks tight to keep your reticle sharp.
  • LOCKING ILLUMINATION DIAL – Aggressively knurled for control. Lock prevents shifts from snags and transport.
  • INTEGRATED THROW LEVER (PATENTED) – 120° throw for faster transitions, low profile to avoid snags.
  • MADE IN U.S.A. WITH U.S. AND GLOBAL PARTS – Engineered, machined, and assembled in the USA. Held to micron level tolerances.

Inside, the glass-etched, Illuminated EBR-9 MRAD reticle reflects the same mindset. Designed for tactical and combat shooters, it runs fast up close and precise past 1,000 yards. The grid stays clean for quick corrections, and the ranging marks make distance calls simple: 3, 4, 5, and 6 correspond to hundreds of yards and shoulder-width targets at each range.

AMG® 1-10×24 FFP Riflescope
MAP $3,999.99 | MSRP $6,399.99


Each AMG® riflescope is hand-assembled and inspected in Barneveld, Wisconsin — one at a time — and ships with the new Defender® Flip Cap O-24L, designed specifically for 34mm LPVOs. A small detail, but that’s the point and the discipline that defines the AMG® line: mastery lives in the details.

Ryse has Risen

Posted on Friday, 9 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NEW FOR 2026

Ryse has Risen

TUO introduces new camouflage pattern that connects Midwestern landscapes with western elevations to dominate the whitetail wilderness

MUSKEGON, Mich. (January 8, 2026) – TUO launched its proprietary Verse camo pattern in 2024. The texture-based disruption leaned into western big game hunting environments with its slightly warmer palette, to be effective on those sunlit days, combined with strong hints of greens and amber. While the supplemental light tans and sharp lines render effectiveness in wooded environments as well, TUO wanted to offer a second exclusive pattern for the brand’s growing legion of whitetail deer hunters.

Thus, the birth of Ryse. 

Typically, woodlands and the edges of agricultural properties feature greater stark contrasts than classical western terrain. This reality summoned a slightly cooler color palette, compared to Verse, with bright and heavy greys and darker browns.

TUO Marketing Director, Steve Allie, further riffed about Ryse’s whitetail-dominated coloration. “We also included some greens and yellows to represent trees and brush that might still be holding onto some foliage, which is common in the whitetail woods during early season.”

Ryse’s macro elements are substantial, too. “There are big objects in whitetail country as well,” added Allie. “So, Ryse includes substantial contrasts of larger light and dark objects, which are then broken up with vertical and horizontal lines.”

Macros are the large-scale shapes and color blocks in Ryse that break up the overall outline of the body at distance, so you don’t appear a single solid shape. Macros dominate at 20-yards and farther as the micro patterns begin to disappear.

Micro pattern elements are the fine, small-scale details and texture that help you blend in and avoid recognition at close range. In Ryse, micro elements are exemplified by the erratic vertical, horizontal, and diagonal cracks and crevices that splinter amongst the large macro elements. 

Throughout, Ryse includes 3D elements, including beveling, as well as shadows to imitate depth against any surface you may encounter. Beveling delivers greater depth, texture, and blending.

Allie summarized by saying that Ryse certainly pulls some DNA from TUO’s original Verse camo, but lives as a signature pattern for anywhere you pursue whitetail deer.

Shell Tech Announces Dates and Venue for the 2026 Legends & Heroes Shootout

Posted on Friday, 9 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Shell Tech™ Announces Dates and Venue for the 2026 Legends & Heroes Shootout

Second annual event returns to South Florida March 20 – 21, 2026, adding the Navy SEAL Foundation as its newest charity and setting a $50K fundraising goal.

Eubank, Ky. (January 2026) – Shell Tech™, the ammunition branch of Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, is proud to announce that the Shell Tech Legends & Heroes Shootout will return for its second year from March 20 – 21, 2026, expanding its mission with the addition of the Navy SEAL Foundation (NSF) as a beneficiary and establishing a minimum fundraising goal of $50,000. All net proceeds from the event will directly benefit K9 Heroes 4 Heroes, which provides service dogs to veterans and first responders, and the Navy SEAL Foundation (NSF), which provides critical support for the warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare. This year’s goal is intended to fully fund a trained service dog for a Navy SEAL in need – a tangible, life-changing outcome the event aims to deliver. The event brings together firearms manufacturers, industry leaders, veterans, corporate partners, and Major League Baseball stars for a two-day charity event designed to showcase innovation, strengthen community partnerships, and support veteran-focused organizations.

The event begins Friday, March 20, at Markham Park Shooting Range in Sunrise, Florida, with Shell Tech securing the entire facility for a private industry-focused range day. A 100-yard range has been reserved exclusively for attendees, the shooting community, and corporate sponsors who wish to display their products. Attendees will experience live-fire demonstrations from leading firearms manufacturers and opportunities for attendees to interact with top brands and athletes. There will also be a Steel Challenge 9mm pistol competition powered by Shell Tech’s NAS3™ performance ammunition. Prizes include gear and giveaways from Four Brothers Custom Gun Holsters and Heritage Distilling Company’s War Dog Whiskey and Salute Series Bourbon. The Grand Prize is a firearm and ammunition prize package (to be announced at a later date). Regional Operations and firearms media personality Jake Holth will host the event. There is no general admission charge to attend the range day.

Following the range day, sponsors and special guests will gather for an evening cocktail reception at the AC Hotel at Sawgrass Mills, just minutes from the range. This will provide a more relaxed networking environment for industry leaders, athletes, and veteran advocates to unwind and relax over drinks and light fare.

On Saturday, March 21, the Legends & Heroes Shootout moves to Trump National Doral in Miami for a limited-entry charity golf event, hosted by MLB Legend Raul Ibanez. The tournament will feature a fun and competitive scramble-style format. This event is limited to eight total foursomes, including Shell Tech leadership, MLB legends, and up to five corporate sponsor teams. The tournament will conclude with cocktails, an outdoor grill lunch, and an awards presentation. There will also be a whiskey tasting held by Heritage Distilling Company.

“The Legends & Heroes Shootout is about more than marksmanship and networking; it’s about rallying our industry to make a measurable difference,” commented Peter Foss, Managing Partner and CEO of Shell Shock Technologies. “With the Navy SEAL Foundation joining K9 Heroes 4 Heroes as a beneficiary, our $50,000 fundraising goal reflects the commitment to support the warriors and families who sacrifice for this nation.”

Celebrity participants confirmed to support the 2026 event include MLB Hall of Famer Adrian Beltre, Three Time World Series Champion “El Duque” Hernandez, World Series Champion Raul Ibanez, World Series Champion Jayson Werth, MLB Gold Glove Winner Placido Polanco, Two-Time World Series Champion and Three-Time MVP Albert Pujols, and Three-Time Cy Young Award Winner and World Series Champion Max Scherzer, among others.



Sponsorship opportunities are now available, with tiers ranging from Gold to Premier, offering exclusive branding, product placement, and VIP access. Custom donor tiers are also available. All net proceeds will benefit K9 Heroes 4 Heroes and the Navy SEAL Foundation, with a minimum fundraising goal of $50,000. For sponsorship inquiries or additional event information, please contact Foss at peter@shellshocktech.com.

Cimarron Firearms to Exhibit at SHOT Show 2026

Posted on Friday, 9 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Cimarron Firearms to Exhibit at SHOT Show® 2026

Visit Cimarron Firearms at SHOT Show® 2026 at Booth 10933 (VE2) Jan. 20 – 23, 2026.

Heirloom-quality firearms on display, featuring the historically authentic U.S. Cavalry “Buffalo Soldier” Model, in Booth 10933 (VE2) at SHOT Show® 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fredericksburg, Texas (January 2026) – Cimarron Firearms, the premier name in authentic Old West firearm replicas, announced it will exhibit at SHOT Show® 2026, taking place Jan. 20 – 23, 2026, at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada. Attendees can find an extensive selection of heirloom-quality pistols, rifles, and shotguns, highlighting the craftsmanship, fit, finish, and historical accuracy that have defined the brand for over four decades at Booth 10933 (VE2).

Among the featured products will be the U.S. Cavalry “Buffalo Soldier” Model, a new offering that exemplifies Cimarron’s uncompromising commitment to authenticity through meticulous historical research. It is inspired by the exceedingly rare 1st Generation Colt Single-Action Army pistols inspected by U.S. Ordnance Department Principal Sub-Inspector in Charge Henry Nettleton. Cimarron has gone above and beyond to faithfully recreate the original Colt Single-Action Cavalry Model, incorporating Nettleton’s distinctive inspection initials using the exact fonts, placements, and proof marks found on the originals.

Chambered in .45 Colt, the Henry Nettleton Cavalry model features a 7 ½-inch barrel, standard blue finish, and walnut grips. What sets this firearm apart is its extraordinary historical accuracy. In 1878, Nettleton inspected and stamped approximately 3,000 pistols, uniquely placing his inspection marks on the left side of the hammer and trigger guard, an anomaly among U.S. Ordnance inspectors that remains unexplained to this day. Cimarron’s recreation pays tribute to these scarce government-issued firearms, preserving the defining details that made them the weapon of choice for U.S. Cavalry troops. Watch Harvey discuss the fascinating history of this firearm in the Cimarron Firearms Presents: BOOM!!! With Mike Harvey series:

“Historical authenticity is not a marketing term for us; it’s our mission,” said Mike Harvey, founder and CEO of Cimarron Firearms. “The U.S. Cavalry ‘Buffalo Soldier’ Model represents years of painstaking research and attention to detail. From the inspection stamps to the overall configuration, this firearm is as close as you can get to the original, and we’re proud to debut it to the industry at SHOT Show.”

SHOT Show attendees are encouraged to visit Cimarron Firearms at Booth 10933 (VE2) to experience these heirloom-quality firearms firsthand and to take advantage of exciting Show Specials available during the trade show.

The SHOT Show is owned by NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, and is restricted to the shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade professionals and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement, and tactical products and services ONLY. The SHOT Show is not open to the general consuming public (e.g., private visitors, hunters, sports shooters, members of hunting and sport shooting clubs, etc.).

NSSF Adds South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden to Governors’ Forum at SHOT Show 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is proud to announce that South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden will join the stage with six fellow governors for the 5th Annual Governors’ Forum at SHOT Show® 2026. Gov. Rhoden, an ardent Second Amendment supporter, hunter, lifelong rancher, military veteran and public servant, assumed his office in January 2025. Gov. Rhoden previously served in South Dakota’s state legislature and as lieutenant governor when he was elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2022.

The Governors’ Forum at SHOT Show 2026 is open to all attendees. Registration for this free event is open, but space is limited. Register now to save your spot.

“We are honored that Governor Rhoden is making the time to participate in the Governors’ Forum this year. His voice, among his fellow governors, adds to the depth of experience and perspective this forum brings to SHOT Show,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The growth in this industry, freedom to exercise Second Amendment rights and passion for conservation-minded hunting is critically important to these states and the governors that make the time to participate in this forum and attend SHOT Show understand the value those ideals bring to their states.”

The 5th Annual Governors’ Forum is an opportunity for SHOT Show attendees to hear directly from state governors of the importance of the firearm industry to their states, Second Amendment rights of their citizens and their insights to challenges and opportunities ahead for gun rights in the United States.

Confirmed for the Governors’ Forum is (in alphabetical order of states):

  • Arkansas – Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders
  • Idaho – Governor Brad Little
  • Montana – Governor Greg Gianforte
  • Nebraska – Governor Jim Pillen
  • Nevada – Governor Joe Lombardo
  • South Dakota – Governor Larry Rhoden
  • Wyoming – Governor Mark Gordon

The forum will be moderated by Shermichael Singleton, co-owner and co-creator of WeTheFree.com  and GunsOutTV, American political strategist, writer and political commentator. Singleton will discuss the importance of the firearm industry to the governors’ respective states, the legislative landscape and what can and should be done to protect the industry from gun control special interests threatening the firearm and ammunition industry and Second Amendment rights.

NSSF’s Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show), will take place at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas from Jan. 20–23, 2026. NSSF will host the annual Governors’ Forum at SHOT Show Wednesday, Jan. 21 from 1–2 p.m. at The Venetian Expo, Lido Room 3101A.

Flambeau® Formula Bow Case™ Delivers Dependable, Precision Protection for Serious Bowhunters

Posted on Thursday, 8 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Flambeau® Formula Bow Case™ Delivers Dependable, Precision Protection for Serious Bowhunters


Middlefield, OH (January 8, 2025) – From offseason storage and preseason tuning to cross-country travel for big game pursuits, protecting a compound bow is critical to maintaining peak accuracy and performance. Precision components like sights, cams, cables, and strings demand secure, consistent protection so archers can step into the field with confidence when it matters most.

Built for bowhunters who refuse to compromise, the Flambeau® Formula Bow Case™ delivers unmatched protection through a revolutionary, foam-free design. Whether gearing up for spring turkey season, planning a destination hunt, or safeguarding equipment between seasons, the Formula Bow Case is engineered to keep bows locked in, dialed in, and ready to perform.

At the heart of the Formula Bow Case is Flambeau’s patented Adjustable Bow Security (A.B.S.) system, a shock-absorbing, foamless chassis that free-floats critical bow components while anchoring the riser securely in place. Integral tie-down spines paired with patented Nite Ize Mega™ Gear Ties® eliminate unwanted movement during transport, ensuring consistent protection without the wear and tear caused by traditional foam interiors.



Designed for real-world travel, the Formula Bow Case excels whether it’s loaded into a pickup, hauled through airports, or carried in and out of hunting camps and hotels. Its mid-weight construction, just 18.25 pounds unloaded, offers the protection level of heavy-duty, thick-walled cases without sacrificing mobility. An automatic pressure-release valve combined with a weatherproof gasket creates an impact-defusing air chamber that resists crushing forces while keeping moisture and debris out.

Flambeau Formula Bow Case Features:

  • Weatherproof gasket
  • Automatic pressure release valve
  • Removable accessory storage pouch
  • Internal rack for 8 spare arrows
  • Over-molded handle
  • 6 over-cam throw latches
  • External tie-down slots
  • Lockable and airline-friendly

Flambeau Formula Bow Case Specs:

  • WEIGHT: 18.25 lbs. (Unloaded)
  • INTERIOR DIMENSIONS: 44.44″ L x 16.06″ W x 8.29″ H
  • EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS: 47″ L x 19.37″ W x 9.31″ H

A.B.S System:

  • FOAM FREE: Utilizes adjustable foamless chassis with shock-absorbing rubber membrane
  • SECURE TWIST: Features twistable patented Nite Ize Mega™ Gear Ties® to unconditionally anchor bows in place during transit
  • PROTECTION REPETITION: Hassle-free, muscle memory tie-down operation
  • PRESERVED PRECISION: Free-float sights, cams, cables, and strings to safeguard critical precision components
  • QUIVER TO-GO: Permits quiver to remain attached to bow in case
  • BROAD-SPECTRUM COMPATIBILITY: Fits makes and models under 40 inches in overall length with the accessory pouch inserted and 43 inches in overall length without the accessory pouch

Pepper Spray vs. Taser: Which One Fits Your EDC?

Posted on Thursday, 8 January, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Free US shipping on orders over $299!

PEPPER SPRAY OR TASER?

What works for you?

Most people get stuck comparing gadgets. The better question is: what will you carry every day, and can you deploy it fast under stress?

In our new guide, we compare pepper spray and tasers across range, stopping effect, ease of carry, and practical limitations, plus the habits that matter most.

READ THE FULL COMPARISON

Pepper spray tends to win when you want:

  • The smallest, easiest everyday carry
  • Multiple bursts if things are chaotic
  • A lower-cost option you can practice with

A taser tends to win when you want:

  • More distance before contact
  • Stronger “off switch” potential when placement is good
  • A tool you are willing to train with and maintain
