Why Bow Spider is an Invaluable Accessory

Bowhunting Turkeys? Why Bow Spider is an Invaluable Accessory

KINNEAR, WY (Fb. 20, 2024) — Whether you bow hunt gobblers with either a crossbow or compound bow, you don’t need to be occupying one hand carrying your bow – especially when hiking in the dark. That’s why you need the Bow Spider™ Complete Bow Packing System.
The Bow Spider Complete Bow Packing System is the quickest and easiest hands-free bow retrieval system on the market. Here’s how it works. An aluminum arm attaches to the compound bow’s riser or the crossbow’s Picatinny rail and slides into a slot on the lightweight, injection-molded receiver, which can be worn on the included belt or attached to other objects, including your backpack, or the Bow Spider Attack Pack (sold separately.) The bow is held securely in place via a gravity-locking system, yet it slides out with minimal effort. The Bow Spider’s versatility also allows it to be mounted on any flat surface. The bow can then be quickly and effortlessly removed with one hand when it’s time to swing back into action.
“Bowhunters who pursue spring gobblers need stuff, and lots of it,” said Bow Spider founder David Merrill, himself a highly accomplished bowhunter. “You might have to pack in a ground blind and seat, decoys, calls, and all that other gear, as well as your bow. How do you haul it quickly, easily, and safely from your truck to the field in one trip if one hand is carrying your bow? And what if you’re a run & gun hunter, needing to move often during the day? You almost need to be an octopus to haul it all – unless you incorporate the Bow Spider bow packing system.”

The Bow Spider Complete Bow Packing System comes in either green, tan, or black, as well as limited color editions in deep purple, neon orange, lime green, and pink, and they offer a special Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF.) They have a suggested retail price of $94.95 and the Crossbow version has a suggested retail price of $109.99. All products are available at select retailers nationwide and conveniently online at www.bowspider.com. To see how easy it is to use the Bow Spider, check out this new video clip: https://youtu.be/olySav0g2N8?si=DoYtYkjF_odX6SHr.
About Recreational Archery Development LLC (RAD, LLC): Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Kinnear, WY, RAD, LLC is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative products for the outdoor industry, including the Bow Spider brand of products. Bow Spider’s intuitive design makes bow retrieval fast and easy in any situation. The product is proudly made in the USA and gives one percent of all sales to conservation.

Leaders Unloaded: Meet Greg Buchel

Welcome to the second edition of our new feature series, Leaders Unloaded. Each month we will sit down with a recognized industry leader to learn about their journey, their company, and any insight they have to offer in regards to business. We hope you enjoy this new series. If you are interested in participating in a future article or want to learn more about the featured leader, please reach out to ashley@lauraburgess.com.

Written by Ashley Burgess Gall, Laura Burgess Marketing

In a world where tradition often intertwines with innovation, Big Horn Armory has carved its niche as a trailblazer in the firearms industry. Founded by Greg Buchel, a visionary leader with a diverse professional journey, the company is renowned for pushing the boundaries of conventional firearm design. In an exclusive interview, Greg sheds light on his experiences, the challenges faced, and the compelling vision that propels Big Horn Armory forward.

Greg’s journey from a classically trained architect to the founder of Big Horn Armory is a testament to the unpredictable nature of career paths. He recalls the early 1980s when high double digit inflation and interest rates crippled the construction industries, which in turn affected architecture. This period was also the genesis of the personal computer industry. It was during this tumultuous time that Greg found a new opportunity in producing distributable software media—a Plan B that proved highly successful. The success he saw in this venture eventually led to the creation of his current endeavor, Big Horn Armory. This journey laid the foundation for the company’s commitment to excellence.

The genesis of Big Horn Armory was fueled by a fascination with firearms, particularly the idea of creating a lever gun chambered in the powerful 500 S&W Magnum—a feat many had attempted but failed. Greg’s vision was to succeed where others faltered, and the result was the creation of the Model 89 lever gun that became the cornerstone of the company’s identity.

Model 89 Prototype

The design for the Model 89 was born with the realization that the right thing to do was shrink down the Model 86 to the dimensions of the 500 S&W. The Model 86 had some internal geometries that were thought to be very difficult to manufacture, so Model 92 internals were adopted. The process of shrinking the 1886 to 500 S&W dimensions took many a twist and turn until finally in 2009 the first shooting prototypes were produced in time for hunting season. Elk, antelope, and mule deer were taken locally.

The company’s original focus was to produce mainstream production lever guns. This evolved into the higher-end custom guns that are produced today. All Big Horn Armory firearms are built to exact fit and finish standards, using different grades and species of walnut along with different metal finishes to create truly heirloom firearms that will last for generations. Choices of wood and metal finish are all geared to give the customer the ultimate in personal customization.

An example of Circassian Wood and a Color Case Hardened finish.

For Greg, essential leadership qualities include audacity, perseverance, and tenacity. Having a backup plan, as demonstrated in his own career, is crucial for navigating unforeseen challenges. This resilient approach has not only shaped Greg’s professional journey but has also become ingrained in Big Horn Armory’s corporate culture.

The company’s culture is defined by the devotion of its employees to firearms and their craftsmanship. Greg emphasizes the importance of paying attention to employees, as they often provide valuable insights into areas of improvement. As Big Horn Armory grows, finding new employees who share this passion remains a priority.

Big Horn Armory makes no compromises. They never have, and they never will. Fit and finish are as good as handwork can make them. Their craftsmen are trained in old-world hand finishing which is almost unknown in today’s world.

In terms of product development, the company tends to make products that interest them, so the creation of new products is an outgrowth of several hundred years of experience among its employees. The company also constantly reviews and improves its offerings as part of its quality control mechanisms. This helps to find flaws in the internal processes and allows the company to correct them. New products are also considered with the same thoughts in mind. Big Horn Armory has numerous new products in the works at any given moment. Some are extensions of current products, while others are completely new for the brand.

The product lineup, including the iconic Model 89 and the innovative AR500 rifle, reflects the company’s commitment to diversity. Customization options, such as different grades of walnut and metal finishes, allow customers to own truly unique firearms. The AR500 chambered in 500 Auto Max was a logical progression for Big Horn Armory. The AR platform is a long-term trend, especially among younger customers. Big Horn Armory developed in collaboration with Tim Sundles of Buffalo Bore Ammunition and Robert Hayden of Starline Brass to create a rimless version of the 500 S&W. The rimless configuration allows feeding from the box magazine required in the AR platforms.

The AR500 uses an AR10 as its basis due to its larger bolt and barrel extension. This combo was tested far beyond the 60,000 psi pressure for the cartridge without any deformation. This makes the AR500 stand out as the most powerful AR platform on the market.

User feedback plays a pivotal role in product improvements. Customer suggestions, such as the addition of red dot sights and take-down lever guns, are examples of Big Horn Armory’s responsiveness to consumer needs. Collaborations with industry partners, including Buffalo Bore, Starline, and Lehigh Defense, showcase the company’s dedication to innovative solutions.

As Big Horn Armory looks to the future, Greg emphasizes the importance of adaptation to industry trends. The firearms industry has been one of continual change for hundreds of years. Adaptation is more of a way of life than a specific turn of events. When it comes to creating products that customers want, it is always a matter of adapting or failing. The legacy envisioned for the company is one of continued excellence in firearm production—a legacy that hinges on being remembered as a producer of fine firearms contributing to the industry’s rich history.

In closing, Greg’s advice to young innovators and entrepreneurs is simple yet powerful: pursue dreams with vigor and tenacity. Enjoy what you do and the rest should take care of itself. As a leader in the firearms industry, Greg Buchel and Big Horn Armory continue to leave an indelible mark, ensuring that their legacy is one of innovation, quality, and passion for firearms.

Crow Shooting Supply Adds to NSSF First Shots Host Range Incentives

First Shots

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is pleased to announce that Crow Shooting Supply has stepped up to encourage shooting ranges to host more of NSSF’s First Shots® programs through a generous store credit match incentive.

Ranges and retailer-ranges that host First Shots events can generate up to $1,500 ($15 credit for each person they put through a First Shots experience) in store credit with Crow Shooting Supply, in addition to the $1,500 monetary incentive that shooting facilities can generate through NSSF’s new First Shots incentives that were announced late last year. This special incentive provided by Crow Shooting Supply will run now through March 31.

Crow Shooting Supply, a wholesale distributor based on Montezuma, Iowa, wants to encourage ranges to become new and repeat hosts of First Shots events to provide more people with their first or refresher experience enjoying the shooting sports.

“NSSF’s First Shots program is grateful to Crow Shooting Supply for this extra incentive to ranges to help people not only discover the shooting sports by taking their first shots but also to have their questions answered about firearm ownership and responsible use and storage, ” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development. “Americans in growing numbers are eager to learn about firearm ownership, and First Shots has been designed to assist them by providing education in the classroom and experience on the range.”

NSSF’s First Shots is an introductory and refresher program made available through host target-shooting ranges across the country. By providing educational experiences that are safe, fun and memorable, host ranges are having great success in attracting first-timers, further engaging new gun owners and in reactivating lapsed participants. Surveys show that 60 percent of First Shots participants returned to their host range while spending more than $850 annually on their shooting sports endeavors.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to firearms education and safety, Crow Shooting Supply is teaming up with the NSSF’s First Shots program. We’re all about getting people to support their local shooting ranges and helping newcomers. It’s not just about pulling the trigger; it’s about creating a community that’s knowledgeable, respects tradition and keeps safety front and center in shooting sports,” said Pete Brownell, CEO of Crow Shooting Supply.

NSSF provides host ranges with all the program materials and promotional resources to help offset overall event expenses. Shooting ranges and firearm instructors can learn how to become a First Shots host here or by contacting Ann Gamauf at 203-426-1320 ext. 247.

Reviving the 30-30: New tech in an old cartridge.

New From Vortex® Cartridge Talks:
“Grandpa’s 30-30.”

February 20, 2024

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Nostalgic. Old-school. Underpowered. The 30-30 gets called a lot of things, but new technology and a rabid fan base are breathing new life into this venerable round.
In this episode, Mark and Ryan put this new technology to the test, compare it to traditional rounds, and answer the question,
“Is Grandpa’s 30-30 better than ever?”
Think the 30-30 Winchester® is a relic of the past? This episode might change your mind.
Though it has its roots in “the good ol’ days,” and it remained largely unchanged till the early 2000’s, the 30-30 is finding a foothold in the gun safes of modern hunters. This is largely thanks to Hornady, who developed new technologies that produce higher velocities and flatter trajectories.

Now Introducing Galco’s Thunderclap Belt Holster!

February 2024

Now Introducing Galco’s ThunderclapBelt Holster!

Perfectly mated to everyday carry guns or elegant special-occasion pistols, the Thunderclap™ offers a unique set of features and best-quality construction methods. The Thunderclap is the first holster in Galco’s Masterbilt™ series of best-quality, premier-grade holsters.

Constructed of our finest, fully-lined premium steerhide, the Thunderclap features detailed hand-molding for both secure retention and a beautiful appearance. The smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on more-delicate handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical – it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.
The Thunderclap’s near-neutral (vertical) cant gives it the fastest, wrist-locked draw stroke, while the reinforced opening provides easy, one-handed return to the holster. Relieved at the base of the trigger guard, it allows a full firing grip in the holster. The metal-reinforced tunnel-style belt loop provides excellent rigidity during carry and on the draw, and the trailing belt slot aids with concealment – even with large defensive handguns. A molded sight rail prevents snags on the draw.

Equally at home concealed with an EDC pistol or worn openly with a barbeque gun, the Thunderclap is sure to impress friends – or help defeat enemies!

The Thunderclap fits belts up to 1 1/2” wide and is available in black or tan.

Since 1968, a Fisher Space Pen has been used by NASA on every crewed space flight. The new models add to the company’s popular series of pens available for all military branches, enabling users to proudly display their commitment to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Space Force.

About Fisher Space Pen

While pressurized technology made it possible for NASA’s astronauts to write in space, it also provided writing capabilities in all-weather, underwater, over oil and grease and from -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit. These pens are the perfect tool for trade professionals, first responders, military, rugged outdoor enthusiasts, trekkers, backpackers, industrial manufacturers, underwater divers and anyone who values a pen that doesn’t fail.

Tipping Our Hat to a Classic

Tipping Our Hat to a Classic

Infused with technology, ScentLok’s new Insulated Bomber Hat modernizes a classic. 

MUSKEGON, Mich. (February 16, 2024) – The ubiquitous “bomber hat” was an invention of necessity in the early 20th century. Airplane cockpits were open, exposing pilots to whichever way the wind blew. The bomber hat maintained popularity amongst World War II pilots flying at high altitudes to combat the cold in unpressurized cabins. The functional style eventually gained favor with outdoor enthusiasts like hunters and ice anglers and remains with us today.

ScentLok continues the bomber tradition with its new Insulated Bomber Hat. But unlike your great grandpa’s heirloom version, ScentLok’s new interpretation adds technology, modern insulation, and improved fit.

At core of the Insulated Bomber Hat’s furnace is 100g of authentic Thinsulate®. The lightweight material traps heat without bulky old-school materials. Technology continues with ScentLok’s Carbon Alloy®. The proprietary technology offers continuous absorption of odors by combining treated carbon, activated carbon, and zeolite to adsorb odors emitted by your body.

Next, ScentLok added a DryLok® waterproof and windproof membrane to align with inclement weather and late season temperatures. ScentLok’s DryLok waterproof and windproof membrane is a signature technology in several current parkas, jackets, bibs, and pants. The cherry on top is a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment to prevent light moisture from even making it to the DryLok membrane.

Outside, you’ll find a premium, smooth, quiet, and comfortable polyester outer fabric. Internally, you’ll appreciate the long nap fleece lining, which provides extraordinary warmth and comfort. This while a short brim funnels light moisture away and provides some sun protection.

All said, the Insulated Bomber Hat’s most memorable features are the earflaps and neck protection. The insulated flaps cinch comfortably under your chin with sizable Velcro tabs to accommodate heads of all shapes and sizes. And, when conditions don’t necessitate a full wrap, you can secure the earflaps over the top of the hat. In addition, its extended neck protection does what most hunting hats can’t – shield your neck from cold winds.

ScentLok’s Insulated Bomber Hat is available in Realtree Excape, Mossy Oak Gila, and Mossy Oak Terra Outland patterns.

FEATURES:

  • Carbon Alloy® technology for odor adsorption
  • 100g Thinsulate™ insulation for warmth without bulk
  • DryLok® breathable waterproof/windproof membrane helps protect you from the harsh elements

German Precision Optics USA Introduces New High Magnification Binocular


German Precision Optics USA Introduces New High Magnification Binocular

RICHMOND, Va. (Feb. 15, 2024) — German Precision Optics USA (GPO), a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality, affordable sporting optics, announces the expansion of its award-winning PassionÔ binocular line with the introduction of the new PASSION 15×50 HD binocular.

The PASSION 15×50 HD features all the bells and whistles that have made the entire PASSION lineup extremely popular. These include an incredible light transmission, 99.7 percent ags; Double HD glass technology; a great field of view with perfect edge sharpness; GPObright™ lens coating technology; center-focusing locking diopter; tough aluminum eyecup tubes; magnesium micro-bridge and body; waterproof and fog-proof; and PASSIONdrop™ hydrophobic coating. It measures just 6.9 inches long, weighs just 34.1 oz., and has a 266-foot field of view at 1000 yards.
“With its large field of view and overall slim design, the PASSION HD 15×50 perfectly balances high magnification, size, and weight,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA’s owner and CEO. “And while any 15X binocular is large – especially one with a 50mm objective lens — when compared to other 15X binoculars on today’s market, this GPO 15×50 is comparatively small. With its overall slim design and large field of view, we’ve created the perfect balance between magnification, size, and weight. It’s a package that will be especially appreciated by backcountry hunters who mount big glass on a tripod, as well as those glassing long distances across big ag fields, down powerline cuts, or over long valleys.”

The new Passion 15×50 HD binocular will be available at select retailers nationwide and conveniently online at www.gpo-usa.com for a suggested retail price of $1429.99. It will be available in Spring 2024, and like all GPO USA products, it comes with the Spectacular Lifetime WarrantyÔ.

AG Composites Now Offering Bottom Metals For Its Custom Rifle Stocks

AG Composites Now Offering Bottom Metals For Its Custom Rifle Stocks

OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala.  (Feb. 15, 2024) — — AG Composites — the leader in the design and production of custom rifle stocks for both hunters and the world’s top competition shooters – is now offering bottom metals on its best-in-class custom rifle stocks.
The company currently offers two configurations of bottom metals: the AG M5 and the AG BDL. The AG M5 Bottom Metal is made from 6061 aluminum, has a black anodized finish, and weighs just 2.5 ounces (Short Action) or 3.9 ounces (Long Action). It is designed for use with AICS magazines, and AG Composites recommends using Magpul, MDT, AI mags, and Hawkins Hunter DBM magazines (an AW magazine is compatible if your action is cut for AW magazines.) The AG M5 Bottom Metal fits M5 inlets (it will not work with BDL inlets.) It is available in both short action length and long action length (3.715-inch mag length) for calibers such as the 30.06, .270, and 7mm Rem. Mag., .300 Win Mag., etc., and CIP Long Action Length (3.850-inch mag length) for calibers such as the .300 PRC, .300 Norma, .28 Nosler, etc. The AG BDL Bottom Metal has an M5 inlet, allowing the user to change from a hinged floor plate to a detachable bottom metal without having to modify the stock. It is also carefully crafted from 6061 aluminum, has a black anodized finish, and weighs just 2.5 ounces (Short Action) and 2.6 ounces (Long Action). A magazine box, spring, and follower are not included. The suggested retail price for either bottom metal is $199. However, if the customer bundles the purchase of the bottom metal with the purchase of a stock, the price is reduced to $149.
“We are always looking at ways to improve our customer experience. By providing bottom metals that are crafted for our stocks, we are doing just that,” said Matt Tandy, AG Composites owner. “Our bottom metals are designed for our stocks, are lightweight yet extremely durable, and provide a lifetime of flawless performance.”

In addition to bottom metals, AG Composites now offers several other anodized aluminum add-ons. The AG Picatinny Rail with Quick Detach Cup, which works on stocks with swivel hole spacing up to 2.5 inches, is made from 6061 aluminum, has a black anodized finish, measures 3.25 inches long, weighs a mere .7 ounces, and has an MSRP of $50. AG ARCA Rails are also available in lengths of either 4-, 6-, or 8 inches, which weigh in at 1.5 ounces, 2.5 ounces, and 3 ounces, respectively, and are also made from black anodized 6061 aluminum. MSRP is $50.00 (4-inch), $55.00 (6-inch), and $60.00 (8-inch.) Finally, the black anodized 6061 aluminum AG Quick Detach (QD) Cup weighs just .14 ounces each and carries an MSRP of just $9. The following QD sling accessories are recommended: Magpul QD cups, Bengor QD cups, and SOMA QD cups.
Customers can call 1-833-AGSTOCK or 256-723-8381 for more information or to place an order.  You can find more information about the company’s entire line of custom stocks and accessories by visiting the newly updated website,

New “Partner With a Payer” Video Explains the Impact of Excise Taxes on Public Access to Boating and Fishing Opportunities

NSSF

February 15, 2024

New “Partner With a Payer” Video Explains the Impact of Excise Taxes on Public Access to Boating and Fishing Opportunities

NSSF, ASA, SOBA, USFWS and Washington Department of Natural Resources partner to continue providing boating and fishing access.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, in partnership with the American Sportfishing Association, the Washington Department of Natural Resources, States Organization for Boating Access and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has released another film in the “Partner with a Payer®” series — a collection of videos highlighting the importance of wildlife conservation and management. The latest video, “Waterways for All: Improving and Expanding Public Fishing and Boating Access,” showcases the work being done to continue providing public boat launches and public fishing piers throughout the United States.

To fund these conservation efforts, the Sport Fish Restoration Act authorizes a small federal excise tax on certain items — 10 percent on fishing equipment; 3 percent tax on electric boat motors, tackle and fly boxes; import duties on tackle, pleasure boats and yachts; and a portion of the federal gas tax that is attributable to motorboats and small engines. Since 1952, these excise taxes have contributed and distributed more than $11.3 billion (over $17 billion when adjusted for inflation) to individual states. Together, these excise taxes fund public boat ramps, fisheries projects and aquatic education, providing countless public outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the United States of America.

Kathy Hollar, Division Manager, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, explained how imperative the partnerships are to outdoor conservation and recreation. “Our industry manufacturers are vitally important to the Sportfish Restoration Program. Without their federal excise tax contributions, we wouldn’t have had seven decades of fish restoration and boating access projects across the country for all of America to enjoy,” Hollar stated.

Representatives from the Washington Department of Natural Resources, American Sportfishing Association, the States Organization for Boating Access and USFWS came together to tour the Defiance Boats factory and other marine facilities. Throughout the tours, they learned what it takes to generate the excise tax revenues that support sportfish restoration and increase outdoor recreation participation in Washington and across the country. The state and federal agency staff also discussed specific projects where funds have provided key opportunities for the public to launch, dock and moor boats, as well as to fish and engage in other water-related activities.

Defiance Boats supports the initiatives that create long-lasting opportunities for the public to participate in outdoor activities. “We have only a certain amount of fish and wildlife, so it’s important that we take care of those stocks not just for the boaters of today, but for my kids and the future generations that will come. Programs like this are really important to help make that happen,” said Bo Palmer, CEO, Defiance Boats, Allied Boats, Defiance Marine.

The group also toured several boat ramps, fishing piers and other nearby facilities built with Sportfish Restoration funds. “In Washington state, there has been a huge impact. We’ve constructed over 15,000 linear feet of boat moorage, 400 or so boat slips and also some upland amenities for those boaters such as restrooms, laundry facilities and showers,” said Karl Jacobs, Senior Outdoor Grants Manager, Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office. He continued, “States are working really hard to put that money to good work.”

This project was funded by the Multistate Conservation Grant Program. The latest video and others in the series were produced by Shine United LLC / Kingdom Filmworks.
