First Responder Pens_20220408.jpg

Boulder City, NV (May 9, 2023) – First responders may not always be visible when things are running smoothly. However, they are always around us and are an integral part of our communities as they help us when we are faced with emergencies. As we celebrate Public Service Recognition Week this year from May 7th to 13th, Fisher Pen Company® offers their First Responders Series to honor those in the fields and express appreciation for their service.

Fisher’s First Responders Collection presents an ultimate choice for service professionals who frequently work in some of the most unusual conditions. Each pen in this collection is equipped with a medium-point pressurized PR4 black ink cartridge. This cartridge provides its user with incredible reliability even underwater or in zero gravity, regardless of the angle. Additionally, the PR4 cartridge boasts smooth performance in extreme temperatures ranging from -30° F to 250° F. The single-hand activation by cap and the 5.27 in. open length make these pens versatile and convenient simultaneously.

The design of the First Responders Series pens makes them an attractive gift for any service professional. Based on the M4B Military Matte Black Cap-O-Matic Space Pen, all of these pens are marked with a printed line of six assorted colors reflective of six service fields: gold (dispatchers), blue (law enforcement), red (firefighters), green (conservation), white (EMS) and orange (search and rescue). Moreover, Fisher Space Pen has been donating a portion of proceeds from each pen to support the service professionals, making the First Responders Series pens even more significant. The recipients of this support include First Responders Children’s Foundation, C.O.P.S (Concerns of Police Survivors), injured firefighters and their families, National Park Foundation, NAEMT (National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians) Foundation and National Disaster Search Dog Foundation.

Firearm Industry Surpasses $16 Billion in Pittman-Robertson Excise Tax Contributions for Conservation

Posted on Wednesday, 10 May, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Firearm Industry Surpasses $16 Billion in Pittman-Robertson Excise Tax Contributions for Conservation

May 9, 2023

$16 Billion

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, celebrated a milestone achievement after announcing firearm and ammunition manufacturers topped $16.1 billion in excise tax contributions to the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund since its inception in 1937. When adjusted for inflation, the total is more than $25 billion. The latest Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax (FAET) Collection report released by the Department of the Treasury, covering the 4th Quarter Calendar Year 2022, indicates that firearm and ammunition manufacturers contributed more than $235 million, the third-highest 4th calendar-quarter in history.

“The entire firearm and ammunition industry should celebrate this truly outstanding achievement and take pride in this announcement,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “The firearm and ammunition industry understands the conservation of wildlife and the habitats in which they thrive are invaluable. They are critical to future generations taking part in hunting and the recreational shooting sports traditions and learning about their vital importance. The Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, funded significantly by taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers, is responsible for the restoration and recovery of America’s iconic game species across the country, including the Rocky Mountain elk, whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope, wild turkey and a variety of waterfowl. These contributions have also facilitated the remarkable recovery of the majestic American bald eagle, of which there are now more than 316,000 in the lower 48 states. The firearm and ammunition industry is filled with pride to achieve this landmark for conservation funding and the role our industry plays to ensure America’s wildlife is perpetuated for future generations.”

The astonishing total represents more than $1 billion contributed to conservation since announcing crossing the $15 billion contribution threshold just 12 months ago. It was less than one year before that remarkable achievement that NSSF announced Firearm and Ammunition Excise Tax contributions surpassed $14 billion.

The Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, commonly known as the Pittman-Robertson fund, is funded by excise taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers on their products, as well as archery equipment manufacturers. The excise tax is set at 11 percent of the wholesale price for long guns and ammunition and 10 percent of the wholesale price for handguns. The excise tax, paid by manufacturers and importers, applies to all firearms produced or imported for commercial federal law enforcement sales, whether the purpose is for recreational shooting, hunting or personal defense. The tax is administered by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) of the Department of the Treasury, which turns the funds over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

USFWS deposits the Pittman-Robertson revenues into a special account called the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund administered by the USFWS. These funds are made available to states and territories the year following their collection based on a statutory formula.

These 10 to 11 percent excise tax dollars collected since 1937 under the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act are specifically designated to be used by state wildlife agencies for conservation and related purposes. Collectively, purchasers of firearms and ammunition, hunters and the industry are the greatest source of wildlife conservation funding.



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.

The tour will be interactive, and the military service members will be encouraged to leave their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind by the end of the tour.

JFD SHOWCASES NEW TACTICAL DIVING VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY AT SOF WEEK 2023 AHEAD OF DELIVERY TO US PARTNER

Posted on Tuesday, 9 May, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

JFD SHOWCASES NEW TACTICAL DIVING VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY AT SOF WEEK 2023 AHEAD OF DELIVERY TO US PARTNER


• JFD prepares to deliver first production model of Shadow Seal to US partners Blue Tide Marine for training and demonstration purposes
• Shadow Seal combines proven technology with an adaptable platform ready to meet current and future SOF requirements
• Strengthening commitment to expanding US presence and subsea maritime capability


JFD – part of James Fisher and Sons plc – has launched its advanced four man tactical diving platform, Shadow Seal, during SOF Week 2023, ahead of delivery to United States partner Blue Tide Marine (BTM) for demonstration and training purposes.
Shadow Seal is an adaptable and extremely capable lightweight Tactical Diving Vehicle (TDV) able to transport a pilot, navigator and two passengers in surface, semi submerged and submerged mode with a range of 80nm.
Shadow Seal offers unparalleled underwater maneuverability to Special Operations Forces required to covertly cross the expanding offshore and littoral water gap. Adaptable to suit a variety of ISTAR and combat requirements, the platform provides sophisticated protection to complex, high value platforms and critical infrastructure.


A strategic partnership with BTM was announced in March 2022 as part of JFD’s commitment to expanding its US presence and subsea maritime capability. BTM subsequently purchased the first production model of Shadow Seal to provide local demonstration and training services – significant milestone in JFD’s journey towards a full turnkey US capability, inclusive of TDV provision and follow on support services throughout the product lifecycle.



Bob Pudney, President, Blue Tide Marine, comments:
“We are excited to bring this collaborative effort of JFD and BTM to the subsea sector and look forward to the delivery of the Shadow Seal. This multi-mission capable platform provides an opportunity to modernize the undersea capabilities of SOCOM, the US Navy and other agency partners with advanced mission focused technology, extended range and offers practical training and in service support.”
JFD has been working closely with the BTM team during production at JFD’s facility in Glasgow, UK, and final in-water trials, FATS (Factory Acceptance Trials) and HATS (Harbor Acceptance Trials) are currently underway prior to delivery to BTM in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in coming months. JFD will continue to offer support and training as the craft is delivered to the US.


Rob Hales, JFD Managing Director, says:
“The BTM partnership ensures that we can offer innovative solutions to modern day challenges; such as the current capability gap in littoral maneuver; with first class in-country demonstration and training. JFD is committed to further developing our in-country capabilities including through-life support services and this upcoming, important delivery milestone reflects a significant milestone in our mission to better serve the US and wider Americas undersea markets.”
Shadow Seal was first developed by Ortega Submersibles in The Netherlands which was acquired by JFD in 2019 and has since undergone further development and rigorous trials. JFD has combined 40 years’ experience within the subsea domain with proven technology; found within JFD’s Carrier Seal which is in operation with a number of the World’s Navies. Recent upgrades included in the latest Shadow Seal include expansion of available battery power enhancing range and endurance capacity of the craft.
JFD will be exhibiting alongside BTM at SOF Week 2023 on 8-11 May 2023, and will be displaying a prototype model of Shadow Seal (MK1D) on Stand 501 at the Tampa Convention Centre. SOF Week is an important opportunity for JFD US to promote its world-leading capabilities in the underseas sector, and our UK and US team will be on hand to discuss Shadow Seal and wider JFD Special Operations capabilities.

Celebrate Spring with Big Horn Armory’s Sunshine Sale

Posted on Tuesday, 9 May, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub


Celebrate Spring with Big Horn Armory’s Sun Shine Sale

Save over $200 on an AR500 rifle or pistol when purchased between May 8 – 14, 2023.

Cody, Wyo. (May 2023) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is offering 10 percent off, a savings of over $200, any new BHA AR500 semi-auto rifle or pistol purchased directly from the website between May 8 – 14, 2023. BHA is currently shipping the AR500 from stock and a service representative will contact you within 48 hours to discuss options.

The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s groundbreaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not content with the big bore cartridge offerings available in the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something to match the power and versatility of BHA’s Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed in a semi-automatic rifle.

BHA’s bold AR design and big bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a pleasant shooting, rapid-firing, versatile rifle. This combination of size, familiar manual-of-arms, available accessories, and energy on target make the AR500 Rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in an ATF-compliant pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-auto pistol.

The 500 Auto Max is a rimless 500 S&W Magnum that is easy to obtain or reload. A very versatile cartridge, it can be had in loaded ammunition with bullets ranging from 350grns to an amazing 600grns. The handloader can utilize over 55 different bullets ranging from 200grns to 700grns in almost any bullet type imaginable, including hard cast, jacket hollow points, monolithic solids, etc. This unprecedented range of bullet weight and design make the AR500 suitable for anything from prairie dogs to pachyderms to Peterbilt’s. Truck stopping power in a platform weighing less than 10 pounds. Factory ammunition for the 500 Auto Max is available through Buffalo Bore, Steinel Ammunition, Underwood Ammunition, and Defiant Munitions.

Whether it is packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of energy in a lever-action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the biggest bang for his or her buck.

For more on Big Horn Armory, visit www.bighornarmory.com

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

D1xTM makes the transition from vehicles to operators

image


San Diego, CA, May 8th, 2023 – Torrey Pines Logic Inc. (TPL), the leader in electro-optical devices for the military, announces that D1xTM Laser Detector, the Personal Laser Warning Detector, makes its transition from vehicles to operators.
Helping to keep our military safe when they are in theatre, D1xTM, a passive laser warning receiver, protects operators from snipers, UAVs and many other battlefield platforms.
D1X™ is a passive laser warning receiver. It is designed to detect, and coarsely locate laser emissions in the field, from laser pointing/illuminating devices and rangefinders. The device enhanced safety and survivability for today’s battlefield environment covering all classes of commercial and military laser devices.
D1X™ will alert its wearer of laser emissions in visible, nearIR and SWIR through selectable audible, visual, and tactile feedback. The device can also be connected to a management system or provide laser warning for a defensive aid platform via USB C port.
To protect operators from attacks, a sensor can be used and integrated into various battlefield solutions to enhance safety as well as mitigate friendly fire incidents be alerting the operator of incoming laser emissions. D1X™ has an extremely low false alarm rate with a typical response time of less than 50 milliseconds. The system can be used as worn front of back or attached to a helmet.

Dr. Leo Volfson, President, Torrey Pines Logic, commented:
“What could be more important than the safety of our military in theatre. The new Personal Laser Warning Detector, D1X™, will allow operators to feel safe when they are put in dangerous situations. We are delighted to be showcasing our technology at SOF Week and would be pleased to welcome SOF Week visitors to our booth”.

Athena AI and Tomahawk Robotics partnership strengthens with first US DoD export sale

image


Brisbane, Australia, May 8th, 2023 – Athena AI, the Australian AI enabled soldier decision support company, is pleased to announce its first export sale. The sale, led by Tomahawk Robotics, provides the US DoD with Tomahawk’s common controller for unmanned systems, augmented by Athena AI’s Mission Module.
Athena AI is a featured AI partner in Tomahawk Robotics’ Kinesis command and control software ecosystem. Kinesis gives you the freedom to control the robotic platform you need to get the job done – all from a single interface and while integrating with your TAK/ATAK teammates. Athena AI’s role in the partnership is to leverage networked robotic platforms to extend soldiers’ sensory perception. The Athena AI Mission Module monitors platform video feeds and autonomously detects mission critical information, such as threats or objects of interest. This reduces the cognitive load required for soldiers to take in their surroundings and enables faster, more robust tactical decisions.
This is just one of the ways Athena AI is looking to improve combat capability for Defense Forces. Ultimately, Athena exists to help allied nations drive efficiencies and deliver decision superiority at the tactical level, all whilst mitigating risk to personnel. Athena also has products in development to support accelerated, ethically sound targeting cycles, autonomous geospatial analysis, AI-enabled mission planning, and the synchronization and autonomous tasking of uncrewed air and ground platform effects.
Athena’s CEO Stephen Bornstein explained “Our MOU with Tomahawk has been ongoing for over 18 months, and we are pleased to now mature this into a fully integrated application available to Kinesis users. We thank both Tomahawk and the US DoD for their consideration in how we can support the RAS enabled warfighter”.

OTTO Announces the Launch of the First Tactical Spatial Audio Solution for the Dismounted Warfighter at SOF Week 2023

OTTO Announces the Launch of the First Tactical Spatial Audio Solution for the Dismounted Warfighter at SOF Week 2023
Push-to-talk (PTT) switch provides game-changing multi-talker communication capabilities for high-stress combat environments.

imageimageimage

Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, Fla. (May 8, 2023) OTTO Engineering announced the launch of the first tactical spatial audio product for dismounted warfighters. E.S.P. (Enhanced Spatial Positioning) is a push-to- talk (PTT) switch designed for dynamic environments and the needs of individual operators. The solution was developed to enable users to mentally focus on an individual directional audio source, even if other channels are active simultaneously.
In high-stress environments, traditional audio traffic from multiple sources can compete in the tactical operator’s ear, leading to auditory overload and retention loss. Spatial Positioning creates separation and provides mental clarity.
Independent testing published by the Audio Engineering Society (AES) on the occurrence of attention redirection and speech intelligibility in multi-talker communication confirms that spatial separation of audio can reduce cognitive load and help operators maintain situational awareness.
“In a natural listening environment, the human auditory system uses cues to localize and externalize sound sources. When listening, we can discern the sound source, where it’s coming from, and when multiple sources are presented concurrently. We’re able to attend to a specific source through what is called the ‘cocktail party effect,’” says Dan Stanek, Vice President and General Manager of OTTO’s Communications division. Stanek continues, “This is the ability of the brain to focus on a specific source in the presence of other competing sources, such as when a person is in a noisy room at a cocktail party. Audio segregation like this occurs because of several factors, but the strongest is the distinct spatial location of the independent audio sources.”
The operator hears each channel distinctly from Left, Left- Front, Right-Front, and Right associating a physical position with each unique audio source. This untangles competing streams and increases comprehension so warfighters can maintain situational awareness and focus on mission objectives.
This first-of-its-kind solution is compatible with major radio platforms and offers modular compatibility with vehicular and airbase intercoms (ICS). E.S.P. meets MIL-STD-810G specifications and is software/firmware upgradeable allowing for future channel position options, ATAK PTT functionality, and more.
The E.S.P (Enhanced Spatial Positioning) PTT is available now from OTTO Communications. Contact GovTeam@ottoexcellence.com today for more information or a demonstration.

Honoring the Legacy of America’s Finest since 1980


Tampa, FL, May 8, 2023 – Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) is a non-profit organization with an enduring promise to the children of fallen Special Operations (SOF) Personnel and the children of all service members awarded the Medal of Honor to fund education for children of fallen Special Operations Warriors.
Founded in 1980, SOWF has supported the over 1700 children who have lost a parent during the last 43 years of fighting, funding their education from “cradle to career”, in other words from pre-school to college. And, while the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over, SOWF continues to support the children, including fully-funding college attendance for nearly 1100 eligible students. Grace Goetsch, a surviving daughter from a SOF veteran, is indebted to the support from SOWF: “Thanks to Special Operations Warrior Foundation, I have attended college debt-free, helping to take the burden off my mother’s shoulders and allowing me to succeed—in and out of the classroom!”
To learn more about the work of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, please go to their website https://specialops.org or visit their booth at SOF Week, which runs from 8-11 May 8-11, 2023, at the Tampa Convention Centre, Tampa, Florida.

Range USA’s Women-only Shooting Club – Lady Sure Shots – Raises Support for Project ChildSafe

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Range USA’s Lady Sure Shots program encourages women of all experience levels to join the “Socialize. Shop. Shoot.” fun while supporting the Project ChildSafe® firearm safety education program of NSSF® — The Firearm Industry Trade Association.

Range USA opened its first location in 2012 and has become one of the largest operators of indoor ranges, with a total of 41 open locations and six under construction. The mission is to develop responsible gun owners, and with that comes gun safety.

“Keeping friends and family safe is everyone’s responsibility, and we are proud of these women for taking gun safety seriously while enjoying their target shooting,” says Andy Hofmann, Sr. Director of Marketing with Range USA. “Maybe we should add Support to our Socialize. Shop. Shoot. tagline.”

On the second Saturday of every month, the Lady Sure Shots program brings together like-minded women to enjoy target shooting at the range, with $5 for every registered participant going to the Project ChildSafe Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charity that supports the Project ChildSafe program.

“We are pleased to see the leadership that Range USA has taken with supporting women firearm enthusiasts and gun safety,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO and Chairman of the Project ChildSafe Foundation. “We know that there has been an increase in women’s participation in the shooting sports, and we celebrate that along with the friendships that have developed through programs like Range USA’s Lady Sure Shots,” Bartozzi said.

Since 1999, the program has provided more than 40 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.

ASA April Policy Update: IL Lawsuit & State Efforts

Posted on Monday, 8 May, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

April Policy Update…

April was a busy month for ASA! Between Washington state, Colorado, and Rhode Island, there was a lot of suppressor related activity at the state level. In DC, ASA was on hand for the CSF Congressional Clays Competition. And last, but certainly not least, there has been movement in Anderson v Raoul – the ASA Foundation and Silencer Shop supported case that’s working to overturn Illinois’ unconstitutional ban on suppressors.
UPDATE: Since filming our April Policy Update, a Federal bill to ban suppressors has been reintroduced in Congress. There have also been several updates to the Anderson v Raoul case. We will be posting video updates in the coming days.
Tune in to learn more!

SEE OUR POLICY UPDATE

OLYMPIA, WA – On April 25th, Governor Jay Inslee signed House Bill 1240 into law, making Washington one of the most restrictive states when it comes to guns. Thankfully, the new law, which is undeniably unconstitutional, doesn’t outright ban suppressors. However, it does ban threaded barrels and suppressors on almost any semi-automatic rifle or pistol. We are working with our industry and Second Amendment partner organizations to ensure this massive overstep is properly challenged in court, and will provide updates as things progress.

Protector Training for First RAF Cohort Begins at GA-ASI’s FTTC

Posted on Friday, 5 May, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

PROTECTOR TRAINING FOR FIRST RAF COHORT BEGINS AT GA-ASI’S FTTC

MQ-9B Training at FTTC Will Become Benchmark for Future Training

SAN DIEGO – 04 May 2023 – On May 1, 2023, the Royal Air Force (RAF) began training its first cohort of pilots, sensor operators, and mission intelligence coordinators on operating its new Protector Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) at the Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) in Grand Forks, N.D. The FTTC is owned and operated by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), which has begun deliveries of Protector RPAS to the RAF. Protector is a derivative of the MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and is initially being flown in the USA for training.

GA-ASI is training the first four Operational Conversion Units (OCUs), each comprising of eight crews, including pilots, sensor operators (SOs), and mission intelligence coordinators (MICs). Upon completion, the crews will operate the Protector Air system as part of 31, 54 or 56 Sqn. Training for the pilots and SOs is scheduled to run for 12 weeks; six weeks for MICs.

The scope of the training is focused on foundational skills required to operate the Protector air vehicle and its equipment, including the Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Mission Intelligence Station (MIS), and System for Tasking and Real-Time Exploitation (STARE). Training involves building solid foundations for both normal and emergency operations in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems, instrument flying, and Automatic Takeoff and Landing Capability (ATLC).

The training includes simulation and live flight of the air vehicle. The synthetic training includes a desktop procedural trainer and a mission trainer.

“The training services performed at our Grand Forks center for the RAF represent an important benchmark for future MQ-9B training for other partners,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander.

MQ-9B has garnered significant interest from customers throughout the world. After the UK Ministry of Defence selected MQ-9B SkyGuardian for its Protector program, the Belgian Ministry of Defence signed a contract for SkyGuardian. The Japan Coast Guard is currently operating MQ-9B in the SeaGuardian® configuration, which the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) also recently selected for its Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) RPAS Trial Operation Project that began in April. Additionally, the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) signed a contract for three MQ-9B SkyGuardians, becoming the first U.S. customer for those aircraft.

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems, including the Predator® RPA series and the Lynx® Multi-mode Radar.

Hi Mountain Seasonings Soy Ginger Fried Panfish Recipe: Delicious and Healthy

Posted on Friday, 5 May, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hi Mountain Seasonings Soy Ginger Fried Panfish Recipe:
Delicious and Healthy

RIVERTON, Wyo. (May 4,2023) — It’s been a long winter, but spring is finally here – and with it, some of the best panfish action of the year. As panfish like crappie and bluegill move into the shallows to spawn, they are eager to bite, making them the perfect target for both novice and experienced anglers, who still remember the fun, excitement – and tasty eating! — of panfishing with their parents.

Not only are they aggressive biters and tough fighters, but crappie and bluegill are also some of the tastiest freshwater fish found in all North America. For a scrumptious and healthy way to fry up those tender fillets, don’t go old school and bread them before frying. Instead, try marinating them in Hi Mountain Seasonings’ delicious Soy Ginger Marinade. This mouthwatering combination of soy and ginger will bring out the natural flavors of your fish and take it to a new level of deliciousness. A 37 gram (1.3 oz.) packet of Hi Mountain Seasonings Soy Ginger Marinade will marinate approximately 2 lbs. of panfish fillets and has a suggested retail price of just $3.99. As an added bonus, this same marinade is also perfect for marinating garden vegetables, as well as other fish fillets and cuts of meat.
The Soy Ginger Fried Panfish recipe below is taken directly off the Hi Mountain Seasonings’ website, www.himtnjerky.com, where you can find dozens of other free recipes for wild game, fish, weekend meals, quick and easy weekday dinners, breakfasts and side dishes, as well as tips and techniques for smoking and brining, sausage and jerky making, and much more. Hi Mountain Seasonings Soy Ginger Marinade can be purchased directly from the website, as well as retailers nationwide.
Soy Ginger Fried Panfish recipe (makes approximately 4 servings)
Ingredients:
2 lbs. skinned and filleted panfish
4 tbs. Hi Mountain Seasonings Soy Ginger Marinade
8 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. white vinegar
Cooking oil for frying the fish
Directions: Mix the Hi Mountain Seasonings Soy Ginger Marinade, oil and vinegar well. Place fish and marinade in a zip lock bag or non-metallic container, tossing to coat. Let marinate 2 hours.

IMDEX2023: RAFAEL and DSIT Unveil Unique Torpedo Integrated Defense Suite for Surface Vessels

IMDEX 2023: RAFAEL and DSIT Unveil Unique Torpedo Integrated Defense Suite for Surface Vessels

May 4, 2023: RAFAEL and its subsidiary DSIT are participating in IMDEX 2023 and are introducing the TORBUSTER SP.

In the modern naval battlespace, the threat of torpedoes poses complex challenges for not only submarines, but also surface vessels. As the capabilities of torpedoes have advanced, the need for more sophisticated defense has as well. RAFAEL and DSIT have developed a one-of-a-kind solution to address this urgent operational need: a comprehensive torpedo defense suite for surface ships. This innovative suite includes the highly effective Blackfish and Monkfish Torpedo Detection and Alert Sonar (TDAS) Hull Mounted Sonar (HMS) systems, which are designed to work continuously while the ships are at sea and equipped with the latest technology to actively detect, classify, track, and alert on incoming torpedoes.

In addition, the suite features RAFAEL’s ground-breaking TORBUSTER SP hard kill decoy, which can be strategically mounted on ships to deceive and neutralize incoming torpedoes, providing critical seconds for the ships to maneuver and evade attack.

TORBUSTER_SP (002)

The TORBUSTER SP can defend against both passive and active torpedoes, as well as wake-homing torpedoes. In the case of passive torpedoes, TORBUSTER SP can simulate the ship’s acoustic signature to lure the torpedo away from the vessel. For active torpedoes, it can provide a near real-time tailored response based on the torpedo’s transmission. The TORBUSTER SP is designed to neutralize incoming torpedoes and prevent re-attacks.

RAFAEL and DSIT’s torpedo defense suite is a force multiplier that provides surface ships with ultimate protection against torpedo attacks, giving ship operators a qualitative edge at sea.

Fisher’s Beloved Classic M4H Set to Accompany Anglers Everywhere

Fisher’s Beloved Classic M4H Set to Accompany Anglers Everywhere

Boulder City, NV (May 4, 2023) – Spring, many anglers’ favorite season for fishing, is here! As the weather gets warmer and days become longer, fish such as rainbow trout, walleye, and bass become more active and move toward warm, shallow water, offering the most tempting invitation to anglers. Planning for a phenomenal fishing trip begins with the art of packing. While a fishing license, rods, line, first aid kit, baits, hooks, and an ice chest are among the essential supplies, one more item to the packing list will make the next fishing adventure even better – a reliable pen. Fisher Pen Company® presents the M4H Space Pen to accompany fishermen wherever they go for a catch.

Although Fisher Pen Company® has had many steady sellers over seven decades of their presence in the stationary field, the M4H, known as Cap-O-Matic, has been one of their absolute classics and a true workhorse. The M4H was introduced to the classic line last year with an upgraded coating from Cerakote®. As its name suggests, Cap-O-Matic Space Pen activates and retracts by its cap, which makes it incredibly easy and convenient to use the pen with a single hand. This feature makes the M4H the most beloved pen among those working in a rugged, physically involved environment and also an ideal fit for anglers who need to handle a variety of tools and equipment during a fishing trip. Its brass body has a durable, chemical and corrosion resistant Cerakote coating that provides a solid grip, and the clip on the cap seamlessly attaches to pockets or fishing vests. The additional coating provides more durability than ever before against the elements of the great outdoors.

The benefits of M4H on a fishing trip do not end with its efficient and attractive design; the pen’s strength shines through in its unmatched dependability as a writing instrument. Equipped with the Fisher Pressurized PR4 ink cartridge, the Cap-O-Matic Space Pen writes not only in extreme heat and cold but also through and over water from any angle, including upside down. At an affordable MSRP of $24.50, the Cap-O-Matic boasts a near 0% failure rate anywhere and in any condition guaranteeing your writability during any part of your fishing trip. This spring, get a Cap-O-Matic Space Pen, the best writing companion on any body of water!

About Fisher Space Pen

Fisher Pen Company is a 75-year-old American manufacturer of ballpoint pens, with the notable distinction of being the only ballpoint pen used on every crewed flight into space since Apollo 7 back in 1968.

Dependable and Accessible Firearm

Storage with Hornady Security® RAPiD® Safe Keypad Vault

Grand Island, NE (May 4, 2023) – Hornady Security family of RAPiD® security vaults provide for quick, dependable, touch-free access to firearms – day or night. The RAPiD Safe Keypad Vault is a budget-friendly option for securing up to two handguns, ammo and other valuables and provides the advanced features included in all Hornady Security RAPiD products.

Access the RAPiD Safe Keypad Vault in three ways. The RFID reader is the go-to method offering the quickest access. Swipe the RFID tag over the sensor, and the vault opens. The Keypad Vault includes two RFID tags: a watch band tag and a decal. If an RFID tag is out of reach, a user-programmed 4–6-digit push-button access code provides a fast secondary means of entry. A mechanical key is the failsafe in the entry trio, ensuring the vault opens even in the case of a low battery. The vault’s gas shock assisted door opens nearly straight up, allowing easy access to firearms and other contents – a design well-suited for discrete mounting inside a drawer or anywhere convenient for top-down access.

RAPiD Safe Keypad Vault features heavy-duty, tamper-proof construction, exceeding the rigorous industry standards for safe firearm storage. A 14-gauge steel housing and internal locking lug prevent unauthorized entry, keeping loved ones safe. The padded interior protects valuables from contacting the steel container.

The battery-powered RAPiD Safe Keypad Vault mounts virtually anywhere, and it can be secured to a stationary object using the pre-drilled mounting holes.

Granbury, TX (May 3, 2023) – Built to be rugged and dependable, the Stinger RS handgun by Bond Arms® makes everyday carry a breeze. This double-barrel handgun is constructed from quality stainless steel for unmatched durability. The Stinger RS is paired with sturdy nylon grips providing a positive grip that’s no-nonsense for carrying, and rubber grips for comfort and trigger time at the range.

Whether it’s a corrosive salt spray on the coast, hard days working in nature’s roughest elements, or simply plinking at the range, the stainless steel Stinger RS is tough enough for the job and slim enough to be comfortably at your side anywhere.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection.

The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.
