Team Winchester and Team White Flyer to Compete at 2026 Jack Link’s Cup
CLAYTON, MO (February 3, 2026) — Winchester® Ammunition and White Flyer® sport shooters are kicking off the season at the 2026 Jack Link’s Cup February 10-15, 2026. Held at Quail Creek Sporting Ranch in Okeechobee, Florida, the Jack Link’s Cup has quickly become one of the premiere sporting clays events drawing talented sporting clays athletes from all over the world.
Coming off an incredible season in 2025 that saw Team Winchester and Team White Flyer member, Mike Wilgus, win the NSCA National Sporting Clays Championship, Team Winchester is ready to start the 2026 season off strong. Wilgus took top honors at the National Championship shooting the AA Diamond Grade Elite Trap target load, 1 1/8 ounce, 7 ½’s at 1250 fps.
Team Winchester and Team White Flyer compete with Winchester AA® target shotshells. The AA loads use lead shot alloyed with antimony making them the hardest hitting loads on the market. Combined with AA wad technology and best-in-class primer and powder, AA shotshells provide the most consistent patterns, shot after shot making it the Choice of Champions for all clay shooting disciplines.
New for 2026, the AA® Super Spreader™ line has expanded to include a 12-gauge offering with a 1-ounce payload. Winchester AA Super Spreader loads utilize a hinged wad and specialized shot column that allows for a rapid but uniform spread once the pellets exit the barrel. Shooters will experience 70% larger patterns at 20 yards versus standard loads.
Winchester target loads, including the new AA Super Spreader, will be available to competitors on site and White Flyer targets will be the dominant brand used during this prestigious event.
Winchester is the leading small caliber ammunition brand for hunting, recreational shooting, and law enforcement, and the largest supplier to the U.S. military.

Make Your Super Bowl Party a Winning Success with Hi Mountain Seasonings
RIVERTON, Wyo. (Feb. 2, 2026) — As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, millions of fans are gearing up for the big game. Whether you’re in it for the thrilling action, the halftime entertainment, or the commercials, one thing’s for sure—Super Bowl Sunday is synonymous with fantastic food. Hi Mountain Seasonings is here to ensure your game day spread is a winner with a lineup of delicious dips, marinades, seasonings, and more.
The Super Bowl is an iconic sporting event that takes place every year to determine the National Football League (NFL) champion. The first Super Bowl was held in 1967 as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game following the 1966 merger agreement between the rival NFL and American Football League (AFL). The Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the inaugural contest. By 1969, the name “Super Bowl” was adopted, and in 1970, after the leagues officially merged, it became the championship between the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC), turning the event into a massive cultural spectacle. Today, the Super Bowl is one of the most-watched sporting events globally, with millions tuning in from more than 170 countries to enjoy the game, the halftime show, and, of course, the food.
When it comes to game day, no spread is complete without mouthwatering wings, savory dips, and a perfect burger. Hi Mountain Seasonings is the secret weapon you need to elevate your Super Bowl party to the next level.
“At Hi Mountain Seasonings, we know that food can make or break a Super Bowl gathering,” said Hans Hummel, President and Owner of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “Our products are designed to enhance the flavors of your favorite game-day foods, ensuring your guests rave about your spread long after the final whistle blows.”
Wings and More: Hi Mountain’s Game Day Favorites
Chicken wings are a must-have at any Super Bowl party, and Hi Mountain Seasonings has the perfect products to elevate your wing game. The Chicken Wing Bundle features a blend of seasonings and marinades, including their signature Buffalo Wing Marinade, Trail Dust, Cajun Cowboy, and Pineapple Sriracha for a spicy, tangy kick. The bundle also includes their Game Bird and Poultry Brine, along with Sweet Honey and Buffalo Wing Marinades to bring out the best flavors. Don’t forget the essential Blue Cheese Dressing & Dip, which complements the wings perfectly. At just $42.89, it’s 20% off—a deal you won’t want to miss.
Dip It Up: A Flavorful Lineup for Your Guests
Super Bowl Sunday is also a dip extravaganza, and Hi Mountain Seasonings offers nine incredible options for your spread. Whether you’re craving something smoky, fresh, or tangy, there’s a dip for everyone. Popular options include Creamy Chipotle, Guacamole, and Spinach Artichoke. Looking for something a little different? Sun-dried tomato and Cucumber dips offer unexpected, delightful flavors. And, of course, no dip spread is complete without the classic Salsa, Western Ranch Dressing, or Deviled Egg Seasoning.
Grill Time: Perfect Burgers for Game Day
Nothing says game day like grilling up a juicy burger. Hi Mountain Seasonings offers a selection of seasonings to enhance your grilling experience. Whether you’re making beef, turkey, wild game, or veggie burgers, these seasonings—such as Chipotle and Fiesta Salsa—add a burst of flavor to every bite.

2026 SHOT University Delivers Education & Impact | Opportunities Continue All Year Long
LAS VEGAS — The 2026 SHOT University™, a live event presented by NSSF®, was hailed as a tremendous success by attendees and organizers alike. Held during the SHOT Show® — which spanned Jan. 20–23 — this educational forum brought over 3,100 retailers, range owners and firearm industry professionals together for a comprehensive slate of informative sessions that empowered businesses while also opening important conversations on mental health and community safety.
A core component of SHOT Week®, SHOT University offered flexible à la carte sessions on a wide range of mission-critical topics, including customer communications, ATF/NICS compliance, marketing, operations, new shooter outreach and workforce development.
“SHOT University is tailored for the realities our members face every day,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development. “From workforce challenges to evolving customer expectations, we build SHOT University based on direct input from the businesses we serve. That’s why this program resonates, these sessions reflect the actual needs of firearm retailers, ranges and industry leaders and equip them with the tools to adapt and thrive.”
Among the most powerful moments of the 2026 program was the debut of the Suicide Prevention Town Hall, a compelling and emotional discussion led by mental health advocates and industry experts. The panel delivered real-world strategies and life-saving awareness tools, reflecting NSSF’s leadership in addressing complex issues facing the firearm community.
“The response to our Suicide Prevention Town Hall was overwhelming and reinforced how deeply this topic resonates with our community. This is an issue I take very seriously, both personally and professionally,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “Suicide is preventable. Awareness, education and engagement can make a real difference and NSSF is committed to leading that effort.”
SHOT University could not have succeeded without the generous support of its sponsors, whose commitment fuels education throughout the industry:
Gold Sponsors

“The value of SHOT University doesn’t stop when SHOT Show ends,” said John McNamara, NSSF Vice President, Member Services. “With SHOT University Online, members have access to webinars, information and critical training tools all year long, helping them stay ahead in an increasingly complex business environment.”
As SHOT University Live concludes, NSSF encourages members to continue their learning year-round through SHOT University Online, an exclusive education platform offering on-demand modules on OSHA and ATF compliance, inventory management, customer service strategies, social media and more.

Now available for the S&W M&P Shield X with or without red dot sight!
The renowned Yaqui Slide was ushered into the modern era of holster design in 1992 when Galco achieved yet another industry first: adding a set of independent tension screw adjustments, allowing for a custom fit to the firearm and micro-adjustment of the draw stroke.
The minimalist design and near-vertical carry angle make the Yaqui Slide very fast to draw from, while securing the firearm during everyday activity. The belt channel on most Yaquis has a circular cut-out for placement on the pant loop to prevent shifting of the holster.
The open-muzzle Yaqui design is a favorite of those who own multiple barrel lengths of the same gun model. Constructed of premium steerhide, the Yaqui Slide fits belts up to 1 3/4″.
The Yaqui Slide is made in right or left hand designs and is available in tan or black finish.

GA-ASI AND MITCHELL INSTITUTE AWARD THE 184TH ATTACK SQUADRON WITH RPA SQUADRON OF THE YEAR
SAN DIEGO – 02 February 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies presented the 2024 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Squadron of the Year Award to the 184th Attack Squadron (ATKS) from the Ebbing Air National Guard Base. The award was initially announced at the U.S. Air Force’s annual Air, Space, and Cyber Conference, but GA-ASI and Mitchell held a formal presentation ceremony on January 30 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the home of the 184th ATKS, in order to include the entire “Flying Razorbacks” squadron.
The award was presented by GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue and Lt. Gen. (Ret.) David Deptula of the Mitchell Institute. The RPA Squadron of the Year Award is given annually to the squadron that distinguishes itself through its employment of RPA in meritorious service.
“Presenting this award is always one of the highlights of my year,” said Blue. “I’m thrilled to recognize the Flying Razorbacks as the RPA Squadron of the Year.”
The 184th Attack Squadron distinguished itself by executing 314 combat sorties and delivering 5,972 hours of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) in support of Operations INHERENT RESOLVE and PROSPERITY GUARDIAN. As the first unit tasked by the president of the United States to provide overwatch for humanitarian aid airdrops, the squadron demonstrated unparalleled innovation and mission versatility. Leading the Air Force in MQ-9A Reaper operations, the 184th Attack Squadron executed 66 percent of all non-traditional defensive counter-air and counter-small unmanned aerial system missions, significantly enhancing joint force lethality and integrated deterrence against adversarial threats.
“The important work of the Flying Razorbacks embodies the Air Force’s Units of Action and displays the agility, readiness, and multi-role capability of the MQ-9A, seamlessly transitioning from operational test to combat execution,” said Lt. Col. Jonathan Linn of the 184th Attack Squadron. “Their contributions as citizen airmen not only advances remotely piloted aircraft operations but also solidifies the United States Air Force’s dominance in ISR.”
The 184th Attack Squadron’s exceptional performance reflects the highest standards of service, earning them recognition as the premier remotely piloted aircraft squadron in the Department of the Air Force.

Streamlight’s Stylus PRO USB.
On paper, this light is entirely underwhelming. It pushes 350 lumens—a number that modern enthusiasts might scoff at. It uses a Micro-USB charging port, a standard that is rapidly losing the war to USB-C. It does not have a magnetic tail cap, an OLED display, or an aggressively crenulated bezel.
And yet, it might be the best EDC light I have ever used.
The Stylus PRO USB is a masterclass in the philosophy of “enough.” It offers enough light to identify a threat or complete a task without blinding you with back-splash glare. It has enough battery life to last through a week of real-world use. It has a form factor—the humble penlight—that disappears into a pocket or MOLLE webbing until it is needed.
Most importantly, it respects the user’s intent. The tail switch is tactile and predictable: you press it, and light comes out. There is no fumbling, no guessing, and no learning curve. It is a tool, not a gadget.
In this upcoming review, I am going to break down why this unassuming aluminum tube deserves a spot in your pocket over lights that cost twice as much and shine three times as bright. We are going to explore why, when you strip away the marketing hype and the lumen wars, the simplest solution is quite often the most effective one.
Sometimes, you don’t need a lightsaber. You just need a light.

Navies are facing a growing challenge offshore: how to maintain persistent awareness and protection across vast maritime areas without tying up crewed vessels for weeks at a time. Long patrol cycles, rising personnel costs, and the increasing presence of unmanned threats are pushing maritime forces to look for autonomous platforms that can operate far from shore, quietly and continuously.
One solution gaining traction is a long-range autonomous surface vessel designed specifically for extended missions. Recent new contracts awarded to a nine-meter uncrewed surface drone underscore how this category is moving from experimentation into routine naval use. The platform is built to remain at sea for up to 20 days, covering distances of roughly 3,700 kms, without an onboard crew, while maintaining low acoustic and radar signatures.
According to Interesting Engineering, the vessel addresses endurance first. With a fuel capacity of 550 liters and efficient propulsion, it can cruise at speeds of up to 24 kmph while conducting surveillance, monitoring, or survey tasks over wide areas. Its ability to hold position or “hover” at sea allows it to support precise data collection and subsea operations, functions traditionally requiring much larger ships.
Flexibility is a key design feature. Unlike smaller variants in the same family, this version can deploy and tow remotely operated vehicles, expanding its usefulness for seabed inspection and underwater tasks. It is also equipped to operate multibeam echo sounders at depths reaching 3,000 meters, making it suitable for hydrographic mapping, infrastructure inspection, and maritime safety missions. Despite these capabilities, the entire platform can be transported in a single standard 12-meter container, simplifying logistics and deployment.
From a defense perspective, the platform’s modularity is particularly significant. One of the newly announced configurations will integrate counter-unmanned aerial system capabilities, allowing the vessel to detect, track, and support the neutralization of hostile drones at sea. Extending counter-drone coverage offshore is becoming increasingly important as aerial threats are no longer confined to land or coastal zones. Hosting these systems on an autonomous vessel allows navies to project protective bubbles around offshore assets without exposing crews.
A second configuration focuses on hydrographic and oceanographic missions, accelerating seabed mapping and expanding coverage for navigation safety and maritime planning. Reliable, up-to-date seabed data is also critical for naval operations, undersea infrastructure protection, and route planning.
Together, these use cases reflect a broader shift toward autonomous maritime systems that combine endurance, low observability, and mission flexibility. As offshore security demands grow, long-range surface drones are emerging as a practical way for navies to extend presence and protection well beyond the horizon.

The most advanced compact rangefinder in the range, the new Leica Rangemaster CRF MAX features Applied Ballistics Elite® software with probability of impact analysis. It measures distances with exceptional accuracy and displays aiming correction up to 3,400 meters in a fraction of a second, right out of the box, without needing to unlock the software.
Robust and compact, it boasts exceptional optical quality. Its Active Matrix MicroLED screen and customizable interface allow for immediate readability of information and the environment, even in adverse lighting conditions.
Ideal with a Kestrel anemometer, the CRF MAX communicates with Applied Ballistics® with and without the WEZ (Weapon Employment Zone) module.
The Kestrel 5700X WEZ is the most sophisticated long-range shooting anemometer on the market.
By accurately measuring environmental conditions, it provides access to the Applied Ballistics® calculator and its “Weapon Employment Zone” and “Custom Drag Factor (CDF)” functionalities, which until now were only accessible on the App and Desktop versions of the software.
Thanks to these new features, the shooter can know his probability of hitting a target, analyze his sources of uncertainty, and have a leading tool to help his decision-making, while having the flexibility to make fine adjustments to his ballistic coefficients to gain accuracy.
Bluetooth connection (LINK) compatible with the Leica Rangemaster CRF MAX

THE TRUTH BEHIND “STOPPING” A BULLET
What is the armor doing the instant it gets hit? Here’s the simple version.
Soft armor is built from multiple stacked layers of flexible, tightly-woven material. When a handgun bullet strikes it, the armor acts like a baseball glove that catches the round, spreads the force across the panel, and often causes the bullet to deform.
Hard armor, or rifle-rated armor, takes a different approach because it is rigid, designed to stop rounds with more pointed tips. Hard plates may use ceramics, steel, polyethylene, or combinations of those, and they typically stop a projectile by capturing and deforming it or by breaking it apart, then absorbing and spreading the remaining force.
Whether it’s other questions about how the armor works or if you need help finding the right protection, we are ready to help. Don’t hesitate to contact our US-based (Gastonia, NC) support team at support@premierbodyarmor.com or (704) 214-9951.
