Alliance Consumer Group Provides Gear That Moves With The Seasons

Alliance Consumer Group Provides Gear That Moves With The Seasons

Ft. Worth, TX (August 3, 2026) – August is a month of transitions: hot days linger while nights cool, and outdoor routines shift from summer pastimes toward camping, travel, tailgating, early hunting prep, and cooler-morning activities. As the calendar pivots, gear must follow, mobile and dependable, and ready for temperature swings. Choose items that pack down small, shed weight without sacrificing durability, and perform across conditions: portable heating solutions, heated wearables, and power solutions with reliable battery life for longer trips.

Prioritize portable power such as solar chargers and high-capacity power banks, rechargeable light sources such as headlamps and lanterns with long runtimes and multiple modes, and multipurpose knives sized for cooking prep and everyday carry; together, these keep you powered, lit, and equipped whether you are breaking camp at dawn or settling in for a cool evening.

That makes the Alliance Consumer Group (ACG) and its family of brands a timely ally for adaptable, season-spanning gear: lighting that scales with changing daylight, power that supports evolving activities, tools that perform year-round, and early cold-weather solutions from THAW. ACG delivers equipment you will not pack away; it evolves with the season.

NEBO Lighting: Brightness That Adjusts as the Season Shifts

As daylight fades earlier and activities stretch into dusk, reliable, scalable lighting becomes essential. ACG delivers with a variety of NEBO light sources. This includes the DAVINCI 12K, a high-output flashlight for wide-area illumination, ideal for late-evening camp setup, property checks, or early-morning starts. The EDGE 2K is a slim, powerful EDC-style light that is great for everyday carry as routines shift back toward work, travel, and evening activities.

The PARADIGM 7500 is a multi-mode powerhouse bridging summer recreation and fall preparedness, working equally well for campsites, tailgates, and storm readiness. The LEO 5000 provides a high-performance rechargeable light for general illumination, hiking, or scouting terrain. The MYCRO Series, including the MYCRO 450, provides compact, hands-free lighting for daily use and is perfect for walks, garage projects, or travel bags.

NEBO lighting transitions smoothly from peak summer use to early fall routines, delivering brightness that adjusts to changing conditions.

NEBO Power: Energy That Supports Every Transition

August brings longer weekends, road trips, and the start of fall planning, and portable power keeps those plans flexible. ACG and NEBO can provide what is needed with several power sources to choose from. Among those is the ASSIST AIR 1500XP, a compact, 4-in-1 jump starter, air compressor, power bank, and floodlight. Another good choice is the RAMBLER 300, a compact, versatile power station that is great for late-summer camping, tailgates, or as a backup power option. The INTREPID 600 balances power output with portability and is the perfect bridge unit for summer recreation and fall storm readiness.

ACG’s NEBO power solutions ensure devices, lights, and essentials stay operational, no matter how plans or weather change.

TRUE Blades & Tools: Practical Gear That Never Sits Still

TRUE tools are designed for real-world use, from summer cooking to fall prep and everyday carry. The MAAR 2.75″ is a compact, dependable blade for everyday tasks that is ideal for travel, light campsite duties, and daily utility. The BERM Cleaver is ready for any slicing or chopping challenge, delivering sharp cutting performance with style. The PRIMAL FORGE line features robust blades suited for food prep and outdoor use, making it excellent for camp kitchens, tailgates, and group meals. The Plasma Lighter XRL is a rechargeable, windproof ignition source that is reliable for summer grills, campfires, and the colder, breezier evenings ahead.

TRUE gear works across seasons, not trend-driven, just dependable tools that stay relevant year-round.

THAW Heated Gear: Comfort When The Temperature Drops

August is the smart time to prepare for cooler mornings and upcoming cold-weather activities. ACG can help with that preparation through the THAW family of products, including Rechargeable Hand Warmers that provide compact warmth for early starts and evening cool-downs. Their Heated Vests deliver core warmth without bulk, making them ideal for layering during fall transitions.

THAW’s Heated Gloves provide functional warmth for hands-on tasks in cooler conditions, while their Heated Sock Covers keep feet comfortable during extended outdoor time. THAW’s Heated Folding Seat Pad delivers portable comfort for sidelines, camps, and outdoor events.

THAW products help extend outdoor comfort well beyond summer, making the seasonal transition smoother and more enjoyable.

Gear That Moves With The Seasons

With August serving as a pivot point between the seasons, the family of ACG products provides late-summer versatility that bridges warm-weather adventures and early fall readiness. Along with the convenience, there is the additional value of investing in adaptable gear that does not need to be replaced as conditions change. Alliance Consumer Group’s ecosystem delivers lighting, power, tools, and thermal comfort designed to evolve with the user. Invest in gear that moves with the seasons and keeps outdoor lifestyles going strong year-round. The family of ACG products provides all of that.

Summer Catfish Season Gets a Flavor Boost with Hi Mountain Seasonings

Summer Catfish Season Gets a Flavor Boost with Hi Mountain Seasonings

RIVERTON, Wyo. (Aug. 3, 2026) — Summer is prime time for chasing blue catfish. Whether you’re fishing large reservoirs, winding rivers, or local lakes, these hard-fighting fish offer anglers plenty of action—and even better table fare. With their firm, mild-flavored white fillets, blue catfish are among the finest freshwater fish for a backyard fish fry.

This season, Hi Mountain Seasonings is encouraging anglers to take their catch from good to unforgettable by adding a little Western flavor to every fillet.

One of the easiest ways to create a memorable fish fry is to combine plain breadcrumbs with your favorite Hi Mountain Seasonings blend before coating your catfish. The result is crispy, flavorful fillets that can be customized to suit everyone’s taste around the table.

If you enjoy just a touch of heat, Cajun Cowboy Seasoning delivers a flavorful Cajun kick that complements catfish without overpowering its delicate flavor. For those who like things a little spicier, Cajun Campfire Seasoning turns up the heat with bold Southwestern flavor.

Looking for something a little more traditional? Trail Dust Seasoning adds a savory Western-style blend that’s perfect for fried catfish, while Gourmet Fish Seasoning enhances the fish’s natural flavor with a balanced mix of herbs and spices, making it a favorite among anglers and seafood lovers alike.

The fun doesn’t stop with one recipe. Prepare several batches of breadcrumbs, each seasoned with a different Hi Mountain blend, and let family and friends sample a range of flavors. Everyone gets to choose a favorite, making each fish fry a little different from the last.

Simply season the breadcrumbs, coat the fillets, and fry until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. It’s a quick, easy meal that’s perfect after a successful day on the water.

“Fresh-caught blue catfish already make an outstanding meal,” said Hans Hummel, President of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “Our seasonings help anglers customize every fillet with flavors ranging from mild and savory to bold and spicy. It’s an easy way to make your next fish fry one your family and friends will be talking about long after the last fillet is gone.”

With dozens of premium seasonings, rubs, brines, marinades, jerky cures, and sausage kits, Hi Mountain Seasonings has become a trusted companion for hunters, anglers, and outdoor cooks who appreciate great flavor as much as great adventures.

The next time the blue catfish are biting, be prepared. With so many delicious seasoning combinations to try, you may find yourself wishing you’d brought a few extra rods.

From Field to Fireplace: Taxidermy and Trophy Solutions Simplifies Trophy Shipping for African Hunters

From Field to Fireplace: Taxidermy and Trophy Solutions Simplifies Trophy Shipping for African Hunters

KEMPTON PARK, South Africa (Aug 3., 2026) — Planning an African safari is an exciting adventure, but getting your trophies home can be one of the most challenging parts of the journey. As international regulations continue to evolve, navigating the complex process of trophy collection, export, import, taxidermy, and final delivery has become increasingly difficult. A single mistake can lead to costly delays, unexpected expenses, or even the loss of treasured memories.

Fortunately, Taxidermy and Trophy Solutions (TTS) removes the uncertainty from the process.
TTS is an independent, full-service trophy management and export company specializing in seamless A-to-Z trophy handling for hunters returning from African safaris. From the moment an animal is harvested until the finished trophy reaches its final destination, TTS serves as the hunter’s single point of contact, coordinating every step along the way.

Whether trophies require dip-and-pack services, taxidermy, crating, export documentation, international shipping, customs clearance, or final delivery, TTS works closely with professional hunters, outfitters, taxidermists, exporters, shipping companies, and import agents throughout Africa to ensure every detail is professionally managed.

Rather than requiring hunters to coordinate with multiple companies across different countries and time zones, TTS provides a single experienced team dedicated to overseeing the entire process. The result is a hassle-free experience built on communication, transparency, and personalized customer service.

“Our goal is simple—to provide hunters with complete peace of mind,” said Richard Lendrum, founder of TTS. “When clients leave Africa, they should be able to focus on the memories they made, not worry about where their trophies are or who is handling them. We serve as their single point of contact from the field to the fireplace.”

Every shipment is monitored from start to finish, and clients receive regular progress updates and professional guidance throughout the process. TTS also works diligently to secure competitive export pricing while ensuring that trophies are handled with the utmost care and attention.
Whether it is a first safari or the hunt of a lifetime, TTS helps hunters avoid costly mistakes while ensuring their trophies arrive exactly as envisioned.

From field to fireplace, TTS delivers a seamless, worry-free experience that allows hunters to relive their African adventure for generations to come.

NSSF Invites America to “Let Freedom Plink” During 10th Annual National Shooting Sports Month

NSSF Invites America to “Let Freedom Plink” During 10th Annual National Shooting Sports Month

Let Freedom Plink

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, invites target shooters across the country to head to the range this August for the 10th annual National Shooting Sports Month®.

Taking place as the nation commemorates America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s celebration carries the tagline “Let Freedom Plink” and recognizes the traditions of marksmanship, responsibility and freedom that have brought generations of Americans together through the shooting sports.

National Shooting Sports Month is a month-long celebration of target shooting that encourages experienced shooters, first-time participants, ranges, retailers, clubs and industry organizations to help showcase the safety, fun and camaraderie of the shooting sports. Throughout August, participating businesses and clubs will offer events, introductory and refresher classes, promotions and other opportunities for people to get involved.

“For 10 years, National Shooting Sports Month has brought people together at ranges across the country to enjoy the shooting sports and share that experience with others,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, ‘Let Freedom Plink’ is a fitting invitation to recognize the traditions we value, welcome new participants and help ensure the shooting sports community remains strong for generations to come.”

Ways to Celebrate National Shooting Sports Month

Visit a Participating Range, Retailer or Club

Use the National Shooting Sports Month host map to find participating ranges, retailers and clubs near you. Hosts may offer special events, promotions, introductory or refresher classes, competitions and other activities throughout August.

If there is not a host listed in your area, download the Where to Shoot app to find your local range, enjoy some trigger time and let them know how they can get involved.

Take the 2026 #RangeChallenge

The popular #RangeChallenge returns this August with a new printable target and weekly opportunities for eligible participants to win prizes.

Shooters can download the official target, take it to a participating host or their local range and test their marksmanship skills. After completing the challenge, participants can post a photo or video to Instagram using #RangeChallenge or upload a photo directly through the #RangeChallenge webpage for an opportunity to win one of eight $500 gift cards drawn throughout the month.

Participants are also encouraged to keep the challenge going by tagging friends, sharing their scores and inviting others to download and shoot the target.

Visit ShootingSportsMonth.org/RangeChallenge to download the target, submit an entry and review the official rules.

Share the Celebration

Help showcase the shooting sports community by sharing photos, videos and stories from the range throughout August. Follow Let’s Go Shooting on Facebook, Instagram and X. Use #LetsGoShooting and #RangeChallenge to join the nationwide conversation and encourage others to give target shooting a try.

Businesses and Industry Partners are Encouraged to Get Involved

Ranges, retailers and shooting clubs play a central role in making National Shooting Sports Month a success. Participating businesses can sign up to appear on the national host map, access campaign resources and receive a free promotional package while supplies last.

NSSF also encourages firearm manufacturers, shooting sports organizations and other industry partners to promote National Shooting Sports Month, share campaign materials and encourage their audiences to participate throughout August. Promotional resources are available through the National Shooting Sports Month toolkit.

For information about participating businesses, the #RangeChallenge, campaign resources and ways to celebrate, visit ShootingSportsMonth.org.

Members of the media are encouraged to help promote National Shooting Sports Month by highlighting events, the #RangeChallenge and the many ways to participate. Campaign information and ready-to-use resources are available in the promotional toolkit.

Let Freedom Plink — and let’s make the 10th National Shooting Sports Month the best one yet.

Indianapolis Campaign Targets Illegal Gun Purchases

Indianapolis Campaign Targets Illegal Gun Purchases

NSSF, ATF, DOJ Emphasize ‘Don’t Lie for the Other Guy™’

INDIANAPOLIS — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, together with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), announced a month-long public education campaign running through early September reminding the greater Indianapolis area public about stiff penalties facing individuals convicted of unlawful firearm purchases. The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” campaign is in its 26th year and drives home the message that anyone making an illegal firearm purchase faces a federal felony penalty of up to 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. The program is funded in full by the firearm industry and is now also complemented by additional federal funding allocated to ATF by Congress. Indianapolis was chosen for this specific campaign by ATF.

“The firearm industry has always been fully committed to keeping firearms out of the hands of those who should not possess them. In its 26th year, we are especially proud to launch this Don’t Lie for the Other Guy public awareness campaign in Indianapolis as part of our cooperative relationship with the ATF, the DOJ and the entire law enforcement community to assist them in their efforts to reduce criminal acquisition of firearms and to keep communities safe,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi.

The Indianapolis-area “Don’t Lie” campaign will total nearly 21.5 million gross media impressions. This includes an outdoor campaign running on 18 high-impact billboards and roadside displays along major roadways throughout the region with the message: “Buy a gun for someone who can’t and buy yourself 15 years in jail. Don’t Lie for the Other Guy.” In addition, the campaign will include more than 140 displays on IndyGo public transportation buses and transit stop locations, as well as more than 1,300 radio spots on five of the top FM stations in the market and 4.4 million geofenced targeted impressions across Facebook, Instagram and mobile display.

To legally purchase a firearm, a person must pass an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System verification, or NICS background check, and fully comply with all state and local laws. When a criminal is illegally trafficking firearms or knows they cannot pass this check, they may try to induce a friend or acquaintance to make the purchase for them. This is known as a straw purchase and is a felony.

The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” program also involves educating firearm retailers to better detect and prevent straw purchases by providing “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” retailer kits containing a training video and information for storeowners and staff, as well as point-of-purchase displays aimed to deter illegal straw purchasers.

Learn more about “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” at www.dontlie.org.

From Arms Room to Everyday Carry: The Beretta 80X

OPTIC PLATES |OPTICS |ACCESSORIES SLIDE SERVICES

YOU TRAINED ON THE M9. MEET WHAT YOU CARRY NOW.

If you served anywhere from the mid-80s to today, the Beretta M9 is probably burned into your hands. Some branches of the US Military are still qualifying with the M9. It’s heavy, it’s proven, and it’s a rough choice for daily concealed carry off duty.
Beretta built the answer: the 80X Cheetah. Your M9 muscle memory still works, the frame just got small enough to conceal.
What carries over from the M9:
• A slimmer Vertec-style grip that fits smaller hands with a solid hold

• Magazine release, slide stop, and safety-decocker, all reachable without shifting your grip
• Full-size control feel in a frame you can easily conceal

The rear sight also swaps out for an optic plate. That’s where things get interesting for the EDC crowd.

Why the C&H EDC Red Dot fits the build:
• RMSC footprint, priced right alongside the Holosun 407K

• 50,000 hours of battery life on a single CR1632
• Auto shutoff after 5 minutes of no movement, auto wake when you pick it up
• Multi-reticle system: a precise 3 MOA dot, a 26 MOA circle for a flash sight picture, or both together
• Add a threaded barrel and the 80X becomes a natural suppressor host, since .380 loads run subsonic out of the box. Pair it with a can and a red dot up top, and you’ve got a quiet, accurate home defense and range setup in one gun.

The full breakdown covers the ammo case for .380, the 84-Series magazine compatibility, color options, and why this might be the one gun that covers home defense, concealed carry, and range day for anyone who cut their teeth on the M9.

Lisa’s Story – A 20-year Search For The Perfect Shotgun

Lisa’s Story: A 20-Year Search for the Right Shotgun

As I look back over the last 20 years of my life, I just shake my head in disbelief and smile.

As a mother (and grandmother now, too), I’ve come to realize that some people teach others by doing the right thing and modeling appropriate behavior at all times. I, on the other hand, have taught my best lessons by doing things the wrong way. My adult “kids” will cheerfully vouch for the impact my failures have had on their lives as they vow never to make the same mistakes I made… and that, right there, is a beautiful thing.

My journey as a shooting sportswoman unfolded the same way.

H.E.R. Strength Training for Shotgun Shooting

What is more beautiful than seeing a woman who is strong, confident and comfortable in her own skin at a shooting range or out hunting? I find it to be empowering and inspiring when I see another woman who stands proud with a shotgun in hand. As an avid hunter and shotgun shooter, who also takes pride in building other females up, this is something I would love to see more often.


The harsh truth is that some women struggle with lifting and holding shotguns for prolonged periods of time. The feeling of being “weak” can often spiral into a lack of confidence and loss of drive to get out shooting. How can this be addressed so that more women feel strong enough to get out shooting, specifically shotguns? My answer to women of all ages, shapes and sizes is strength training.

Fundamentals for Wing-Shooting

September. Just saying it rouses excitement and anticipation for the opening of the hunt season. In Virginia, it welcomes opening day for dove and goose and adds teal later in the month. While it is still hot, regularly reaching the 80s, it’s easy enough to get an early start on the day or enjoy a long sit in the late afternoon.

September also means a reality check for many that may have slacked off a bit on honing their shooting skills and quickly realizing it is now time to head back to the fields and waters. There is still plenty of time to correct any bad habits and perfect your shooting prowess.

Improve Accuracy of Ammunition with the Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Concentricity Tool

mprove Accuracy of Ammunition with the Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Concentricity Tool

Grand Island, NE (July 30th, 2026) – Accuracy starts with precision. The Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Concentricity Tool helps shooters identify and correct bullet runout in hand-loaded and factory ammo, so every shot is as consistent as the last, whether on the range or in the field.

Hornady delivers unmatched accuracy at every stage of the shooting experience. This level of performance demands attention to the finest details. This is why Hornady engineers developed the Lock-N-Load® Concentricity Tool to ensure that each round meets the exact standards that serious shooters expect.

The Hornady Lock-N-Load® Concentricity Tool gives reloaders a fast, accurate way to identify and eliminate bullet runout– one of the most common causes of inconsistent performance. Runout occurs when a bullet is seated off-center in the casing, exiting the neck at an angle. This misalignment forces the projectile to deform to fit the rifling or realign mid-travel. Whether fine-tuning hand loads or checking factory rounds, this tool ensures ammo is as straight and true as the shot.

Built for precision and durability, the Concentricity Tool features an intuitive design that easily identifies seat angle issues and corrects bullet runouts. With its micro-adjustable dial indicator, reloaders can confidently bring runout to zero. A rugged frame and quality components ensure years of service. The Hornady Lock-N-Load Concentricity Tool precisely aligns bottleneck cartridges from .22 caliber up to .45 caliber, resulting in repeatable and precise results.

Lock-N-Load® Concentricity Tool Features

  • Universal centers ensure precise alignment of most bottleneck cartridges from .22 cal up to .45 cal.
  • Easy‑to‑use precision adjustment knobs allow you to true up the runout on any cartridge.
  • The sturdy frame can be easily bolted to the loading bench.

Hornady Reloading®, Hornady Security®, and SnapSafe® are owned by Hornady® Manufacturing Company, a family-owned business headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska. Proudly manufacturing products that are made in the USA, Hornady® Manufacturing is a world leader in bullet, ammunition, reloading tool, accessory, and security product design and manufacturing since 1949.

Spartan Precision Equipment Introduces New Phone Holder for Hunters and Shooters Who Want to Capture Every Moment

Spartan Precision Equipment Introduces New Phone Holder for Hunters and Shooters Who Want to Capture Every Moment

East Sussex, UK (July 29, 2026) — For today’s hunters and shooters, documenting the experience has become nearly as important as the hunt itself.

Why One Owner Calls the DD5 SBR "Exactly What I Needed"

Daniel Defense Navigational email header.Daniel Defense Navigational email header.Daniel Defense Navigational email header.Daniel Defense Navigational email header.

DD5® SBR (7.62x51mm)

MANEUVERABLE, MANAGEABLE, ACCURATE BEYOND 500 METERS

“The Craftsmanship outstanding, finish excellent but I wish it was available in OD green. Shooting rounds specifically loaded for shorter barrels. I was able to repeatedly hit my 10 inch wide by 16 inch long steel plate at my max available distance of 500 meters. But the real beauty is its quick handling in tighter areas. It hits hard and unsuppressed it definitely gets some hate from fellow shooters. Suppressed it’s a dream to shoot, probably three times the striking power of a 5.56. In every shot.

I am unique armed with this tool CQB to at least 500 meters with confidence and the ability to take big game animals if need be.”

Autonomous Ground Vehicles Are Heading to the Front Lines

Autonomous Ground Vehicles Are Heading to the Front Lines

(Source: iHLS)

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

Keeping frontline units supplied has always been one of the most dangerous tasks in military operations. Vehicles carrying ammunition, equipment, and spare parts often travel through areas exposed to enemy fire, placing logistics personnel at significant risk. As autonomous technology matures, militaries are increasingly exploring ways to shift some of those missions from human drivers to robotic platforms.

A new production program (by Overland AI) marks a significant step in that direction. More than a dozen autonomous ground vehicles are set to enter US military service under a production contract supporting frontline air defense operations.

Unlike many existing unmanned ground vehicles that still depend heavily on remote operators, these platforms are designed to navigate independently. Operators simply assign a destination, after which the onboard autonomy system analyzes the surrounding terrain, selects a route, and controls the vehicle with minimal human intervention. If necessary, personnel can still assume remote control at any point during the mission.

The vehicles will initially support logistics operations for a mobile air defense system, transporting supplies and equipment to frontline units. Automating these resupply missions reduces the need for personnel to enter high-risk areas while allowing combat units to remain supplied during operations.

According to Interesting Engineering, at the core of the platform is an autonomous navigation system capable of interpreting terrain and making driving decisions in real time. Rather than following pre-programmed routes alone, the software continuously evaluates the environment and adapts to changing conditions, allowing the vehicle to operate across varied landscapes without constant operator input.

Another notable feature is its open architecture. The autonomy software is designed to integrate with existing military vehicle platforms, allowing defense organizations to incorporate autonomous driving capabilities without replacing entire vehicle fleets.

From a defense perspective, autonomous logistics is becoming an increasingly important element of future military operations. Recent conflicts have demonstrated the vulnerability of supply convoys, while the growing use of drones and precision weapons has increased the risks associated with moving personnel and equipment close to the front line. Robotic resupply vehicles offer one way to reduce those risks while maintaining operational tempo.

Although logistics will be the platform’s initial role, the underlying technology is suitable for a broader range of missions. Autonomous ground vehicles could eventually support reconnaissance, intelligence collection, engineering tasks, breaching operations, and other missions where reducing personnel exposure is a priority.

As autonomous ground systems transition from experimentation to production, they are becoming an increasingly practical component of modern battlefield operations rather than simply a technology demonstration.

Tasmanian Tiger’s TT Modular Medic Combat Pack 18 Earns Silver Rating in NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended Program

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 Modular Medic Combat Pack 18 Earns Silver Rating in NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended Program

Independent field testers scored the modular trauma pack 4.43 out of 5, praising its rugged build and mission-specific configurability for tactical medic response.

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 Modular Medic Combat Pack 18 has been tested and recommended by the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program (MTRP), earning an overall score of 4.43 out of 5, placing it in the program’s Silver tier. Four NTOA-affiliated field testers, including active-duty law enforcement personnel from Vermont, Nebraska, California, and New Jersey, evaluated the 18-liter pack across categories including design, durability, storage, versatility, and ease of use.

“I love this bag. It arrived, and I thought it was going to be too small for my equipment, but to my surprise it fit everything I wanted to put in it,” wrote the California-based tester, who gave the pack an individual score of 4.53. “I have thrown this around on search warrants, it has fallen out of my vehicle, and it has held up great so far. I highly recommend this medical pack.”

A Nebraska-based tester, who scored the pack 4.4, pointed to its build quality and adaptability across roles. “The overall construction and quality are very high. The materials are rugged, thick, and durable to withstand abuse in the field. [The pack] is recommended for any SWAT Medic or operator that carries specialized equipment in the field, is looking for a high-quality and durable pack for use in the field, and is looking for an extremely modular, user-specific layout tailored to them.”

The TT Modular Medic Combat Pack 18 is an 18-liter tactical emergency medic backpack built from Cordura® fabric with YKK zippers and Woojin plastic hardware. A circumferential zipper opens the main compartment to the side, and robust carry handles on three sides support rapid extraction and multi-directional deployment. Inside, two removable panels of lightweight, sturdy Tegris® material with fastening accessories organize the main compartment, alongside a removable pouch with a transparent lid, a long color-coded zippered pouch, a removable IV bag pouch, and an insert pocket for patient assessment cards.

MOLLE hook-and-loop surfaces on the interior allow for near-limitless modularity, while three front pockets, each with distinct internal compartments, feature exterior hook-and-loop surfaces for labeling with hook-and-loop strips or snap-light inserts. A compression sleeve attached to the bottom of the pack accommodates a rescue sling (sold separately). Removable, air-mesh-padded shoulder straps allow the pack to convert for use with a plate carrier, and laser-cut mounting points on each side carry up to four tourniquets.

TT Modular Medic Combat Pack 18

A tester from New Jersey, who scored the pack 4.46, highlighted its construction and adaptability. “I found the bag extremely versatile and comfortable to carry. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this bag.”

The TT Modular Medic Combat Pack weighs 4.25 lbs./1.93kg and measures 18 x 10 x 6.7 in. / 45.75 x 25.4 x 17 cm. It is available in red, black, olive, and coyote for an MSRP of $419. Multicam is available at an MSRP of $499.

“Recognition from an organization as respected in the law enforcement community as the NTOA reflects the standard we hold ourselves to with every product we bring to market,” said Richard Lewis, President and CEO of Proforce Equipment, Inc. “Our medic carry systems are designed and tested to keep pace with what operators actually need in the field, and this rating from NTOA validates that approach.”

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.

The More Like Wynne Foundation Invests in Richardson ISD Students

The More Like Wynne Foundation Invests in Richardson ISD Students Through Gift to Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation

San Antonio, TX (July, 2026) Richardson Independent School District (ISD) students will soon have new opportunities to learn about conservation, wildlife management, hunting, fishing, shooting sports, and outdoor recreation through the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation’s Outdoor Adventures curriculum, made possible by a gift from The More Like Wynne Foundation.

The donation will be presented on August 5th at Moss Haven Elementary and will support the expansion of Outdoor Adventures, a nationally recognized curriculum that brings outdoor education into the classroom. The program combines classroom instruction with practical outdoor knowledge, giving students a foundation in conservation, outdoor ethics, and responsible stewardship of natural resources.

The More Like Wynne Foundation was established to honor Wynne Naylor’s passion for community, conservation, and faith by creating opportunities that positively impact future generations. Supporting the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation reflects the Foundation’s commitment to helping young people discover the outdoors while learning the importance of protecting the resources that make those experiences possible.

The gift will help Richardson ISD continue providing students with educational experiences that extend beyond traditional classroom learning. Through Outdoor Adventures, students gain exposure to conservation, wildlife management, hunting, fishing, shooting sports and various outdoor recreation activities while building confidence, responsibility, and leadership skills.

“Our goal is to invest in the next generation,” said Cole Naylor, Wynne Naylor’s father, co-founder of More Like Wynne Foundation. “When young people are given opportunities to experience the outdoors, they develop skills, confidence, an appreciation for conservation, and a purpose within their community.”

The Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to outdoor education through its Outdoor Adventures curriculum, which is taught in schools across the country. The program equips students with the knowledge and skills to safely participate in hunting, fishing, archery, shooting sports, wildlife management, and other outdoor activities while reinforcing the principles of conservation and responsible stewardship.

“Outdoor education is about much more than learning new skills,” said Dr. Keith Tidball, Executive Director of OTF. “It’s about helping students understand where our natural resources come from, why conservation matters, and how they can become responsible stewards of the outdoors for years to come.”

Richardson ISD serves more than 37,000 students across North Texas and is committed to preparing students through innovative learning opportunities that extend beyond the traditional classroom. The addition of Outdoor Adventures gives students another avenue to build practical skills while connecting classroom lessons with real-world experiences.

Leaders from The More Like Wynne Foundation, the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation, and Richardson ISD will gather at Moss Haven Elementary on August 5th to recognize the partnership and the opportunities it will create for local students. The event will include remarks from organizational leadership, a ceremonial presentation, and media interview opportunities.

As schools continue looking for meaningful ways to engage students beyond the classroom, this partnership demonstrates how conservation organizations, philanthropy, and public education can work together to create lasting opportunities for young people and strengthen the future of the outdoors.

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

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.

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.
