SPRINGFIELD, MA., (8/15/2023) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced the release of the new two-tone, FDE M&P5.7 pistol.

Combining features of the tested M&P series with a new gas-operated, locked-breech, Tempo™ Barrel System, Smith & Wesson unveiled the M&P5.7 pistol aimed at offering a more reliable, accurate, and consistent shooting experience in a handgun platform for the increasingly popular 5.7x28mm caliber. Designed to harness the speed of the round, its 5-inch barrel allows for a quicker extraction once the bullet passes the gas port, creating a more secured fireform effect.

In its debut, the series included two models, both with a black polymer frame and black Armornite® slide finish, available with or without a manual thumb safety. Now joining the M&P5.7 lineup is a sharp two-tone setup of a classic Armornite finished slide and black controls, paired with a tactical Flat Dark Earth toned polymer frame.

The two-tone FDE M&P5.7 is optics ready, has a Picatinny-style rail for added accessories, and includes a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle with a thread protector to allow for suppressed shooting capabilities. Its single-action flat-face trigger maintains a crisp break and is designed to allow for consistent finger placement that translates to more accurate and repeatable shooting. This pistol has an impressive 22-round capacity, ships with two magazines, and is proudly made in the U.S.A. Pick up the Tempo™ with accurate and consistent results from the new-look M&P5.7. MSRP is $719.00

Introducing New 18" & 20" Hellion Models – Now Available

Posted on Wednesday, 16 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce two new variants of the Hellion™, offering enhanced ballistic performance with 18” and 20” barrel length options and unique features true to the original VHS-2 design.

Based on the internationally proven bullpup employed by the Croatian armed forces in demanding environments ranging from Iraq to Africa and beyond, the Hellion offers American shooters a semi-automatic version of this highly capable and fully ambidextrous firearm. The newly released variants feature extended 18” and 20” barrels, resulting in a 5.56mm that still offers the compact handling characteristics of a bullpup, but with enhanced velocity and downrange performance.

In addition, the 20”-barreled version of the Hellion features an overall configuration similar to that of the Croatian VHS-D2, a designated marksman version of the VHS-2. The 20” Hellion is outfitted with a distinctive ribbed forward section of barrel for enhanced cooling as well as an integrated bayonet lug.

Bond Arms : Texan – Packing a Big Punch!

Posted on Wednesday, 16 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Bond Arms: Texan – Packing a Big Punch!

Granbury, TX (August 15, 2023) –

We all know the phrase “Everything is bigger in Texas.” Bond Arms has taken that to heart by producing a 6-inch barrel handgun. While this isn’t the first of its kind, it is a functional and dependable firearm for many uses.

Coming chambered in 45 Colt/.410, the Texan takes the cake – or chili – in the aesthetic and functionality classifications. Even from a distance, extended rosewood handles adorn the sides. They are engraved with the model, a picture of Texas with a star in the center, and a snake near the bottom. Even the frame features a small, engraved Texas below the rear sight. This design is an echo of not only the history of the calibers but potential uses.

A 6-inch barrel has the potential to make this not just a sleek-looking firearm but an accurate one. The front is a bladed sight, while the rear has an integrated notch in the frame itself. Capable of firing 45 Colt and 3-inch 410 shells, this firearm is an homage to its namesake. Capable of firing everything from snake shots to 410 slugs, every shot is set to put on target.

Like most Bond Arms firearms, the Texan is a double-barrel handgun made from stainless steel. This model is compatible with all standard Bond barrels and has an integrated cross-bolt safety. The 7-lb. trigger and patented rebounding hammer ensure decisive and effective firing, while an integrated extractor assists in quick and easy firearm reloading.

The Texan is an outstanding firearm, and with the compatible barrel design, a true Texan or enthusiast can easily make this a firearm of choice. Currently, the MSRP of the newly released Texan is $700 USD.

Texan Features:

· Stainless steel double-barrel and frame
· Compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels
· Patented rebounding hammer
· Retracting firing pins
· Cross-bolt safety
· Spring-loaded, cammed locking lever
· MSRP $700

Texan Specifications:

· Caliber: .45LC/.410
· Barrel Length: 6 inches
· Overall Length: 8.125 Inches
· Weight: 27 Ounces
· Grip Material: Rosewood
· Grip Size: Extended
· Sights: Front Blade, Fixed Rear
· Trigger Guard

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. 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.

Trijicon® Introduces the New RMR® HD – A Duty Grade Optic Ready for the Toughest Conditions

Posted on Wednesday, 16 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Trijicon RMR® HD Reflex Sight | Trijicon®

Trijicon® Introduces the New RMR® HD – A Duty Grade Optic Ready for the Toughest Conditions

Wixom, MI – The Trijicon RMR® created the standard for what a miniature rugged reflex optic should be. Not coincidentally, the RMR immediately became a favorite duty optic, and Trijicon RMR optics have been proven in the most demanding environments on earth by U.S. Special Operations, law enforcement agencies, and individuals in personal defense situations.

Now, Trijicon once again sets the standard with the new RMR® HD, an optic specifically designed for the evolving needs of law enforcement and the armed forces.

Built on the foundation of the Trijicon RMR Adjustable LED model, the RMR HD features a large, clear lens made from tempered glass and has the same footprint as the RMR. The larger lens provides an unobstructed view of the target and aids in finding and tracking the reticle more easily.

The new RMR HD reticle allows the user to toggle between a 55 MOA segmented circle reticle with a center dot, or a crisp dot-only option, both of which include a new super bright setting and an additional night vision setting. Models are available with either a 1.0 MOA or 3.25 MOA center dot.

In auto mode, the RMR HD’s advanced forward-looking light sensor automatically adjusts dot brightness to the target environment for effective use in any lighting scenario, including the use of a weapon light. The auto-brightness range can also be customized so that the auto mode will vary in a higher or lower range depending on the user’s preference, and a button “lock out” mode will keep the RMR HD in auto mode even if a button is inadvertently pressed.

With nine brightness settings, controlled by larger, more responsive buttons, the user can also easily select which brightness level they would like when in manual mode and “lock-in” that setting indefinitely if they choose.

The RMR HD features a top-loading battery compartment, allowing the RMR HD’s single CR2032 battery to be replaced quickly and easily without the need to re-confirm the zero of the optic. The battery will provide over three years of continuous use at the dot-only brightness setting 5 of 9 at 70ºF.

The RMR HD is compatible with all existing RMR mounts and optics-ready pistols and is designed to fit many existing optics-ready duty holsters. The RMR HD is also sized to work with optic-height co-witness sights built for the current RMR or SRO.

The patented RMR-shape of the forged 7075 T-6 aluminum housing absorbs recoil and other impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens. Built with Trijicon’s precision engineering expertise, the optic’s elevation and windage adjustments are audible, precise, and repeatable, without the need for any special tools. The optic is waterproof up to 66 ft., is drop tested, vibration tested, and will operate in extreme temperatures.

The Made in the USA Trijicon RMR HD is ready for those who require a feature-rich optic with high performance and ultra-reliability.

Hobie® Eyewear Shines at USLA Nationals and Extends Support to Maui Lifeguards Affected by Recent Wildfires

Posted on Wednesday, 16 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hobie® Eyewear Shines at USLA Nationals and Extends Support to Maui Lifeguards Affected by Recent Wildfires

Oceanside, CA – (August 15, 2023) – Hobie® Eyewear, a dedicated advocate for beach safety and a long-standing supporter of the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) showcased its commitment to water safety at the recent USLA Nationals held in Virginia Beach from August 10th to 12th. The event underscored Hobie® Eyewear’s dedication to lifeguard readiness.

The USLA Nationals annually convene lifeguards and water rescue professionals nationwide to demonstrate their exceptional skills and unwavering commitment to public safety on beaches and open waters. Hobie® Eyewear, a proud sponsor of the USLA for well over a decade, took this opportunity to reaffirm their support for those who tirelessly protect our shorelines.

The United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) is a nonprofit professional association comprising beach lifeguards and open water rescuers. USLA’s mission is to mitigate aquatic fatalities and injuries through public education, national lifeguard standards, training initiatives, and fostering high levels of lifeguard readiness.

Hobie® Eyewear’s most recent video, “Built For The Pros. Priced For Everyone,” features the renowned Jones Beach Lifeguards. This video encapsulates Hobie® Eyewear’s dedication to crafting eyewear that not only meets the demanding requirements of professional lifeguards but is also accessible to all individuals valuing quality and safety.

“It’s important to protect your eyes from the sun while you’re on duty. Not just for the ability to see swimmers, make the rescues, but for protection of your eyes. I am proud to say I’ve been wearing Hobie sunglasses for close to ten years.” said Carry Epstein, supervising lifeguard at Jones Beach State Park.

Epstein continued,”The value of these Hobie sunglasses is really second to none. You’re spending less than a hundred dollars on a pair of sunglasses that’s going to protect your eyes and allow you to see the water with true clarity. Watermen and women are wearing Hobie Eyewear not because it’s a trendy thing to do but because it’s the best pair of polarized sunglasses out there for our job.”

Additionally, Hobie® Eyewear extends its support to four lifeguards in Maui who tragically lost their homes to wildfires. Hobie Eyewear is demonstrating its commitment to this cause by donating a portion of the proceeds generated at the USLA Nationals to the GoFundMe campaign established to aid these lifeguards and their families during these trying times.

The GoFundMe campaign can be accessed here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/maui-lifeguards-that-lost-their-homes-to-the-fire#.

Hobie® Eyewear strongly encourages the community to unite and contribute to this vital cause, highlighting the solidarity and camaraderie that defines the lifeguard community.

Dylan Coates, Marketing Manager at Hobie® Eyewear, expressed his enthusiasm about the event, stating, “It was great to be back at Nationals this year to support the United States Lifesaving Association, an organization that we’ve sponsored for well over a decade. The connection we have to the lifeguards protecting our beaches day in and day out means a great deal to us.”

Furthermore, in light of the tragic situation involving the Maui lifeguards, Coates added, “While the event last week was very successful for us, and we were able to join in celebrating the most accomplished lifeguards from across the nation, we were also made aware of a tragic situation involving four lifeguards in Maui who lost their homes to the wildfires there. We can’t even begin to imagine the heartbreak they’re encountering. To give back to those who give us so much by saving lives as part of their jobs, we’ve decided to donate a portion of our proceeds from USLA Nationals to the GoFundMe set up to aid these individuals and their families.”

For more information, please visit www.hobieeyewear.com.

Since 1982, Hobie® Eyewear has made being on the water easier and more enjoyable – pioneering a better, clearer, and more precise kind of vision. Merging expertly crafted designs with premium polarization, durability and innovative technologies has been at its core, following in the footsteps of visionary creator Hobie Alter. Hobie’s growing product catalog includes the ultra-light Floating Collection, HydroClean™ repellent lens coatings and Quick-Swap Interchange lenses to fit every outdoor enthusiast’s needs.

Scent Thief’s Shampoo & Body Wash is designed to provide complete coverage from the shower to the stand.

Once in the woods, Scent Thief’s patented formula is designed to temporarily disable a deer’s sense of smell. The Shampoo & Body Wash offers hunters complete coverage on their bodies. Whether sitting in a blind or high up in a tree stand, the formula ensures deer won’t bust because they detect your scent. The newest iteration of Scent Thief even includes a calming ingredient that soothes wildlife when they encounter it.

The Scent Thief™ system is the most efficient way of concealing scent and fooling deer. The Field Spray and Wafers, in addition to the Shampoo & Body Wash, create total coverage.

About Scent Thief

Scent Thief is a double-patented formula that eliminates an animal’s ability to smell without using enzymes, cover scents, chemicals, or ozone. With over 20 years of research and field testing, Scent Thief effectively keeps hunters in the game. Scent Thief approaches the problem of human odor differently than their competitors by targeting the area of the nose responsible for smell. By zeroing in on this area of the nose and relaxing it, Scent Thief blocks the signal that triggers danger in any animal with a sense of smell. Made in the USA.

Vista Outdoor’s Sporting Products Announces New Name as Company Separation Nears

Posted on Wednesday, 16 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Vista Outdoor logo in transparent PNG and vectorized SVG formats

08/10/2023

Following the spinoff of its Outdoor Products business, Vista Outdoor will be rebranded as The Kinetic Group, whose name, logo and NYSE ticker “HUNT” were unveiled today along with an inspirational video in an employee town hall in Lewiston, Idaho.

Sporting Products President and CEO Jason Vanderbrink revealed the new company name, logo and ticker symbol while re-emphasizing ammo leadership, community support and conservation.

The new name of the Outdoor Products company will be released in the coming weeks.

ANOKA, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO), the parent company of 41 renowned brands that design, manufacture and market sporting and outdoor lifestyle products to consumers around the globe, today announced its new name and identity that will be effective following the planned spinoff of Vista Outdoor’s Outdoor Products business.

Post-spin, Vista Outdoor will be rebranded as The Kinetic Group, a name that surfaced among employees during the naming process and represents the energy behind the company and its leading ammunition brands. The Kinetic Group will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the stock ticker “HUNT,” and the brand will feature original logo artwork of a North American ram. Sporting Products leaders unveiled The Kinetic Group’s branding to employees during an employee town hall on Aug. 10 at the CCI-Speer ammunition factory in Lewiston, Idaho.

“The performance of our products is so often measured in energy on target. Kinetic energy is the force behind our world-class brands and exhibits the spirit of the 4,500 American workers who represent our company,” said Jason Vanderbrink, Sporting Products President and CEO. “The process of developing a new company name and identity has been exciting and inspiring. We’re all proud of the brands we represent and the products we make in our four American factories. Harnessing the enthusiasm of our employees throughout this process was pivotal to coming up with the best name and logo as we move closer to becoming a standalone company.”

After careful review of hundreds of name options and logo iterations, Vista Outdoor is now one step closer to completing the strategic separation of its Sporting Products and Outdoor Products segments.

“The Kinetic Group will be our name moving forward after the separation and be used for corporate identity to bring employees and stakeholders together with a common purpose and strategic approach,” Vanderbrink said. “To hunters and shooters, their favorite brand of ammunition will take center stage as it always has — they’ll look for CCI, Federal, HEVI-Shot, Remington and Speer on the shelf, at events and online.”

To watch the launch video, visit www.thekineticgroup.com.

The rebranding of Sporting Products is one of several milestones for Vista Outdoor as the company plans to separate its Sporting Products and Outdoor Products segments. In the Sporting Products segment, Vanderbrink was named CEO of the segment in April to go along with his title of President. In July, he was appointed to the Vista Outdoor board of directors, and he will be a director on The Kinetic Group’s board of directors post-spin. Joining Vanderbrink on The Kinetic Group’s leadership team are Andy Keegan (CFO) and Jeff Ehrich (General Counsel and Corporate Secretary).

In the Outdoor Products segment, Eric Nyman will begin as CEO of the segment on Aug. 21, and he will be CEO of the new Outdoor Products company post-spin. The new Outdoor Products company will be led by Nyman and a dedicated management team that he will hire. Vista Outdoor will announce the name of the new Outdoor Products company in the coming weeks, followed by the unveiling of the company’s branding at Investor Day in October in New York City.

Gary McArthur will continue as interim CEO of Vista Outdoor until the completion of the spinoff. McArthur will focus on completing the separation of Vista Outdoor’s Sporting Products and Outdoor Products segments in calendar year 2023, in addition to overseeing Vista Outdoor’s corporate, administrative and financial reporting functions, risk management, stockholder engagement, and ensuring strategy cohesion and coordination across both segments. McArthur will continue serving on the board of directors of Vista Outdoor until the separation and will become the chair of the Outdoor Products company’s board of directors post-spin.

“Sporting Products’ selection of The Kinetic Group as its new name has given Vista Outdoor a surge of energy as we prepare to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies,” McArthur said. “The dedicated, talented and hard-working employees of our Sporting Products segment have delivered a brand name and identity that will be the envy of the industry — much like the products they make at our factories around the United States.”

Separation Update

On May 5, 2022, Vista Outdoor announced that the company plans to separate its Outdoor Products and Sporting Products segments into two independent, publicly traded companies. The company expects to create these companies through a tax-free spin-off of its Outdoor Products segment to Vista Outdoor shareholders.

The company is on track to execute the separation in calendar 2023. The Form 10 has been confidentially submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Galco’s Combat Master Belt Holster for the Steyr M9-A2 MF!

August 2023

Now available for the Steyr M9-A2 MF!

The Combat Master™ is a professional-grade belt holster hand-molded by Galco’s experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns. This gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance.

But beauty is only skin-deep, especially in a holster designed for concealment. The Combat Master’s traditional high-riding pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster, pulling the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear under even light clothing. It also features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed – since time is always in short supply in defensive situations.

Premium steerhide construction with double-stitched seams enhance durability, making the Combat Master one of the longest-lasting holsters money can buy.

Lastly, the Combat Master’s twin belt slots fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide, so it blends perfectly with current clothing styles. And blending in is the name of the game when we’re talking about concealed carry!

Winchester® Announces NSCA Top Shot Sub-Junior Program

Posted on Tuesday, 15 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Winchester Ammunition announces its Top Shot Sub-Junior Program, which awards the top sporting clays shooters in the country as part of the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Championship Tour.

Winchester® Announces NSCA Top Shot Sub-Junior Program

EAST ALTON, IL (August 14, 2023) — Winchester Ammunition announces its Top Shot Sub-Junior Program, which awards the top sporting clays shooters in the country as part of the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Championship Tour.
The Top Shot Sub-Junior program will recognize the top 4 competitors and each will receive 25 cases of Winchester AA® target shotshells, as well as a gear package. The year-long points race winners will be announced at the conclusion of the National Championship in San Antonio, Texas, on October 29, 2023.
“The shooting sports is the fastest growing activity among youth in America and the Top Shot Sub-Junior Program is another great opportunity to recognize and reward individuals who participate and compete,” said Jason Gilbertson, director of marketing for Winchester Ammunition.
Winchester is the industry leader in youth shooting sports support as the official ammunition of the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP), and also working with the AIM Program through the Amateur Trap Shooting Association (ATA) and now our Sub-Junior Top Shoot program through the NSCA.
In 2019, Winchester became the title sponsor of the NSCA Championship Tour and the official ammo sponsor of the USA Sporting and FITASC Teams. Winchester further enhanced its commitment into Sporting Clays and the NSCA with the announcement of the Winchester Ladies Cup in 2021, which provided female competitors a sizable increase in prize money. This prize pool encompassed the NSCA Tour events and culminates with the crowning of the Ladies Cup champion at NSCA Nationals every October.

NSSF Challenges Unconstitutional Illinois Law Attacking Free Speech, Blame-Shifting on Crimes

Posted on Tuesday, 15 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

August 14, 2023

NSSF Challenges Unconstitutional Illinois Law Attacking Free Speech, Blame-Shifting on Crimes

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a legal challenge to Illinois’ unconstitutional law that seeks to muzzle firearm manufacturers’ and retailers’ First Amendment right of free commercial speech and to regulate industry members’ commercial conduct in every state of the Union. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the Firearm Industry Responsibility Act into law and NSSF immediately filed its challenge.

“The flawed logic of this unconstitutional law is second only to the contempt for which the authors and Governor Pritzker hold for the Constitutionally-protected right of the citizens of his state to keep and bear arms,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “This law bans commercial free speech, which is protected by the First Amendment. It also requires firearm manufacturers and retailers to establish undefined ‘reasonable controls’ to prevent criminals from lying on background check forms. The irony is that the firearm industry works hand-in-hand with the ATF and Justice Department to prevent illegal straw purchases of firearms while the governor signs laws that set criminals free on the streets to prey on the innocent citizens of Illinois. Just like Governor Pritzker’s signature on a law banning cash bail, this law empowers criminals and punishes those who obey the law. We are confident that this unconstitutional law will not survive.”

Illinois’ Firearm Industry Responsibility Act criminalizes First Amendment-protected commercial free speech by banning advertising with vague definitions of “intent to appeal to minors.” Gun control politicians in Illinois are attempting to restrict law-abiding citizens from passing on safe firearm handling and shooting skills to the next generation by squelching ability to depict it in advertising. Only adults over the age of 18 can legally purchase a long gun and only adults over 21 can legally purchase a handgun.

This law also victimizes lawful firearm manufacturers and retailers for crimes committed by remote third parties. This law would allow lawsuits against firearm retailers for being the victims of “smash-and-grab” burglaries and robberies.

This law shifts the blame of responsibility for an illegal straw purchase from the criminal committing the crime to firearm manufacturers and retailers. The law requires manufacturers and retailers to employ ill-defined “reasonable controls,” yet each and every retail firearm purchase requires a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Form 4473 to be completed and signed by the purchaser attesting that the intended recipient of the firearm is, in fact, the purchaser. Lying on that form is a federal felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The firearm industry partners with the ATF and the Justice Department on the “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy TM” program to warn the public of the punishment for this crime. Individuals flouting the law are responsible for their criminal actions and must be held accountable. No business can be held responsible for the illegal and criminal acts of those who consciously choose to violate the law.

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.

Introducing Our New XLP Rail Level!

Posted on Monday, 14 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Billet XLP Rail Mounted Level Available Now!

We are very pleased to announce our XLP Rail Level is now available for shipping to complement our new XLP Scope Levels. These all share similar level sections, with a very sensitive vial that is protected, yet well lit by ambient light. This design does not index off the profile (you may notice the clamp piece not sitting completely “flat” on the off side) and rather uses the flats of your rail to provide a more accurate surface.
We anticipate these going quickly!

The MKM XLP Rail Level is a robust, yet slim and lightweight solution for maintaining accuracy at extended ranges.

A unique design indexes off the flats of your picatinny rail, rather than clamping to the picatinny profile, which can lead to discrepancies with manufacturing tolerances.
Standing proud of a pic rail by significantly less than .1″, the XLP level should work with all optics.
A highly sensitive, yet small level vial is placed for optimal visibility with your non-dominant eye, but does not stick out any further than necessary to prevent snagging.
Mounts in a left or right-handed position, with lasered torque specs and vial alignment marks on each side.
Weighs just over .5oz and is made from 6061 Aluminum with a Type III anodization.

Summer Sale Is Almost Over. Its Your Last Chance For Savings On Scope Combos, Grips, & More!

Packing LIght & Tight

Posted on Monday, 14 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Grinding Out Another Winner

New ScentLok BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack carries the same DNA as its larger and popular sibling.

MUSKEGON, Mich. (August 11, 2023) – Building the best-in-class is the ScentLok way. Such was the case when the hunting gear mavericks developed the highly-regarded BE:1 Grinder Pack, a top seller in the hunting pack category. Mounting on its success, ScentLok advances the new BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack, a smaller pack option with the same genetic superiority.

This new midsize option bodes well for mobile hunters who aren’t carrying large loads into the field. Perfect for thrifty day hunts and preseason scouting missions where supreme organization is still paramount.

The pack’s frame is cloaked in a durable, quiet, micro-polyester suede. You can feel the quality and fabric performance at first touch. And the material’s Carbon Alloy® yields the all-important scent control.

Functional features abound, too, starting with an intelligent strap system to make the BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack fit like a tailored shirt. You’ll appreciate the fully-adjustable, padded, and wide shoulder straps. They are paired with an adjustable chest strap to centralize the weight of the pack. A padded back further eases the burden, while a removable waist strap further steadies the load. Combined, once fit is personalized, the pack feels like it was adapted for your body.

The new BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack is hydration compatible as well, offering a pouch pocket, loops, and hangers for installment and operation perfection.

The available compartments and pockets seal the deal – six internal and two external. Firstly, you’ll appreciate the generous main compartment, which offers a zippered pocket for items like keys and a smartphone, while a pouch with elastic secure holds other essentials. Next, a pack-length expandable panel yields additional storage, but most impressively, expands for pass-through carrying-storage of items such as a tripod or camera arm when taking optics and camera equipment into the field. Lastly, an outside sleeve and securing strap accommodate a traveling beverage container.

Hydration Compatible (Bladder Not Included)

FEATURES and DIMENSIONS:

Carbon Alloy® for maximum odor adsorption
Durable, quiet, micro-polyester suede
Expandable capacity pocket with compression straps and two-way bottom zipper to allow gear to pass through
Two zippered compartments with 6 internal pockets
Two exterior side pockets for easy access
Sternum strap sliding track for a custom fit
Fully hydration-compatible pocket with hanger and loops (bladder not included)
Removable webbing waist belt
SIZE: 18.5” H x 9.5” W x 5.5” D
STORAGE CAPACITY: 1,000 cubic inches
MSRP $149.99

AVAILABLE MID-SEPTEMBER

(Water Bottle Not Included)

Hornady Security RAPiD Vehicle Safe

Posted on Friday, 11 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hornady Security RAPiD Vehicle Safe

Grand Island, NE (August 10, 2023) – The Hornady Security RAPiD Vehicle Safe completely changes the game regarding storing firearms and valuables in a vehicle. The RAPiD Vehicle Safe allows users to keep their handguns and other valuables safe without coming at the cost of vehicle modifications. The attached inflatable bladder slides between the center console and the driver’s seat of any vehicle. By squeezing the inflator bulb, the inflation bladder holds enough tension to keep the safe in place. A cable then anchors the safe to a hard point while its padding on one side protects the vehicle from installation damage.

The RFID entry system allows for touchless, fast, dependable entry when users need quick access to their handguns. RFID stickers, key fobs, or watchband tags allow maximum versatility and fast access when the user needs their handgun. The RFID stickers can be placed upon existing key fobs and scanned over the RFID reader to open the safe. The RFID watch band fits most common-sized wrist watches allowing users who do not wish to carry a key fob rapid access to the safe.

The RAPiD Vehicle Safe affords the user two different ways to power the safe. The 12VDC car adapter allows the safe to be powered by vehicle power. For those that do not desire to have or can’t plug the safe in, the safe has the option to get power from four AAA batteries. The two power sources allow for all-time access to the user’s handgun regardless of whether the vehicle is running. The safe can be programmed with a 4-6 digit security code and includes a barrel key for back-up entry in the case of a power failure.

The RAPiD Vehicle Safe exceeds ASTM international safety standards for child and pry resistance, lock strength, drop/pick/saw tests, and high-attack resistance. This affords the user peace of mind knowing that their handgun will be safe from theft, car wrecks, and children tampering with it. With this feature, paired with the 14 ga. steel and two hardened internal locking lugs, the user will have little concern over the security of their handgun.

RAPiD Vehicle Safe Features

· Keypad
· Inflatable Mounting System
· Fits most 4” pistols and 2” revolvers
· RFID Entry Technology
· Keypad and barrel key for additional entry methods

RAPiD Vehicle Safe Specifications

· Exterior Dimensions: 12″ x 6.4″ x 2.2″
· Interior Dimensions: 7.5″ x 5.6″ x 1.7″

Founded in 1949, Hornady® Manufacturing Company is a family-owned business headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska.

Warthog Sharpeners Provides Ceramic Sharpening for Kitchen Blades

Posted on Friday, 11 August, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Warthog Sharpeners Provides Ceramic Sharpening for Kitchen Blades

Baton Rouge, LA (August 10, 2023) – Honing a knife means refining its edge by polishing it, making it sharper, and giving it a shiny finish. Honing removes imperfections, rolls, and nicks from the initial sharpening. As the knife is polished, it sharpens the blade. There is sharp, and then there is the polished sharp only a ceramic hone can give.

Sharpening vs. Honing

Although these words are used interchangeably, they don’t mean the same thing. To sharpen means removing material from the blade to create a new cutting edge. Honing, however, means refining the edge after it’s been rough-sharpened or dinged up by use. Using the ceramic will take out burrs and slight nicks and polish the blade to a slick edge.

Next Level – Ceramic

The Classic II Ceramic Hone for the Warthog V-Sharp Classic II offers another level of polish on the blades. Once the sharpening is done with the standard diamond hone, 325 grit, sufficient for most sharpening tasks, or higher grade diamond hones like the 600 and 1,000 grits, it is time to refine it with a ceramic hone.

A polished knife has a smooth cutting edge (bevel) that reduces friction when cutting food, especially steaks, chicken, and hard vegetables. The blade will glide right through, offering clean cuts necessary when slicing more delicate food such as fish and ripe tomatoes. A polished knife outperforms a toothy, unrefined edge when push-cutting and is aesthetically pleasing, offering a greater sense of elegance and class than a primitive tool.

Classic II Ceramic Hone:

· Material: Ceramic
· Dimensions: 4.72 x 0.2 x 0.15 inches (120 x 5 x 4 mm)
· Grit Size: Polishing
· Weight: 1.7 ounces (45 grams) 2 rods
· Made In: South Africa
· MSRP: $58.99

For over 20 years Warthog Blade Sharpeners has been manufacturing and exporting high quality diamond knife sharpeners. Warthog was established in 1999 with the goal of creating an innovative world-first knife sharpener that delivered better results than any competitor on the market. Treat your blades with the respect and care they deserve. We have conducted extensive research into various types of blade sharpeners and the results may shock you. Microscopic photos of edges show just how much damage traditional sharpeners can do.

GA-ASI OPENS NEW HANGAR AT FTTC IN GRAND FORKS, ND

SAN DIEGO – 10 August 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) hosted a grand opening event on August 9, 2023 to mark the opening of its newest hangar at the Grand Sky Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Business Park near Grand Forks, North Dakota. The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the opening of the new hangar at the company’s Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC).

GA-ASI is a global leader in UAS technology, producing the world’s most ubiquitous unmanned aircraft, including the Predator®, Reaper, Gray Eagle, Avenger® and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®. The company has delivered more than 1,000 aircraft during its 30+ years in business. In July, GA-ASI announced that its line of UAS have flown in excess of 8 million flight hours in support of global security.

“We’re excited to open another permanent hangar at our Flight Test & Training Center in North Dakota,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. “The new hangar represents our ongoing investment in test and training capabilities that provide our customers with a world-class facility to train aircrews in the operation of our aircraft.”

In addition to Mr. Blue, the opening event included remarks from U.S. Senators John Hoeven (R-ND) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND); Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski; North Dakota Lieutenant Governor Tammy Miller; and GA-ASI President David R. Alexander.

The new hangar will be used for international crew training, aircraft storage, aircraft maintenance and will house two GA-ASI Certified Ground Control Stations (CGCSs) with room to add additional CGCS as required. The FTTC opened in 2016.

“This new hangar is part of General Atomics’ growing footprint in North Dakota. It’s only fitting that General Atomics, the premier private sector trainer of unmanned aircraft pilots, is dedicating this new facility here in Grand Forks, home of the premier school of aviation in the world. We welcome this new investment and the ongoing partnerships that are helping North Dakota lead the way in unmanned aircraft operations,” said Senator Hoeven.

“General Atomics is a proven leader in unmanned aerial systems and a vital partner in North Dakota as we expand our UAS expertise,” said Senator Cramer. “Today’s grand opening celebrates the Flight Test & Training Center, which is essential in addressing the high demand for flight crew training and sensor system testing. Continued investment from General Atomics in Grand Forks illustrates the success of the UAS ecosystem North Dakota has created.”
