Huk and Richard Childress Racing to Continue Partnership in 2023
The Fastest Growing Fishing Brand with an Authentic Passion for its Products and Lifestyle Will Be Featured on the No. 3 Chevrolet with
2018 DAYTONA 500 Champion Austin Dillon for Multiple Races
![]()

WELCOME, N.C. (March 8, 2023) – NASCAR Cup Series veteran Austin Dillon is poised to look sharp on and off the race track — and on and off the water — this season thanks to a continued partnership with Marolina Outdoor, the parent company of Huk Performance Fishing. Dillon will drive the No. 3 Huk Performance Chevrolet at select races in 2023.
“We’ve found great value in our partnership with Richard Childress Racing and Austin Dillon and we’re thrilled to continue our relationship in 2023, marking the third year of our partnership,” said Chris Russell, vice president of marketing for Marolina Outdoor. “Austin Dillon has proven to be an authentic ambassador for our brand, and we’ve found it valuable to be able to use the power of RCR’s marketing platforms to highlight our performance fishing offerings.”
Based in Charleston, S.C., at the confluence of three major rivers and home to one of America’s favorite destinations, the designers at Huk take their inspiration from the water itself. They shape and mold a line of performance clothing designed to keep you looking good and feeling cool and comfortable on or off the water. Over the course of their multi-year partnership with RCR, those same design inspirations have authentically been integrated into the No. 3 Chevrolet with fan-favorite schemes such as the popular “BassCar” which featured a Huk exclusive pattern and largemouth bass styling by artist KC Scott.
Huk will continue to leverage their RCR relationship with unique car designs and exclusive consumer offerings. They will also integrate celebrity brand ambassadors and utilize Austin Dillon to showcase Huk’s product line.
“Huk’s innovative performance fishing apparel and clothing aligns closely with my own family’s passion for the outdoors, and Richard Childress Racing’s emphasis on cutting-edge technologies in everything we build,” said Dillon. “I wear Huk clothing on and off the water, and look forward to continuing to showcase some of my favorite collections, such as the Waypoint and Icon X, as well as working with everyone at RCR to drive success for Huk on and off the track.”

NSSF Celebrates $1.6 Billion Apportioned to States for Conservation
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, celebrates the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) announcement that $1.6 billion is being apportioned to state conservation and wildlife access programs, driven mostly by firearm and ammunition manufacturers. The record-setting distribution of funds is derived from the Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson excise taxes paid by the firearm and ammunition industry, as well as the angling industry.
Nearly $1.15 billion of the $1.19 billion of those funds are directly sourced from firearm and ammunition excise taxes paid by manufacturers. Firearm and ammunition manufacturers have paid over $25.38 billion into the fund since its inception in 1937, when adjusted for inflation. These funds directly contribute to wildlife conservation through the Wildlife Restoration Act (also known as the Pittman-Robertson Act) and provides funding for conservation programs, increased access to public lands and hunter education.
“The firearm industry is tremendously proud of the contributions we make to conserving our wildlife and the habitats wildlife need to thrive for generations to come,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “Our industry is at the forefront of wildlife conservation. Each time a recreational shooter or hunter purchases firearms and ammunition, they are supporting the manufacturers that pay these taxes to ensure America remains the gold standard for sustainable conservation and wildlife management.”
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 or 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 firearm and ammunition 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.

Millennium’s Newest Ground Blind Chair Gets a Fresh Look
![]()
![]()

Pearl, MS (March 8, 2023) – When hunters have that trophy buck or giant gobbler in their shooting lane, the last thing they want to worry about is their equipment. When it comes to top-of-the-line gear, look no further than Millennium Treestands. The Mossy Oak® Bottomland camo pattern on the G-450 ground blind chair sets it apart from its predecessor and blends in with its natural surroundings.
Not only is the G-450 ground blind chair is extremely lightweight at just 7.9 lbs. thanks to its all-aluminum powder-coated frame, but It also has an adjustable padded shoulder carry strap that folds up. This allows the hunter to move the chair around comfortably and easily with other hunting gear. It will be a go-to chair for many different hunting applications such as deer, turkey, and even waterfowl blind hunting.
The G-450 ground blind chair features many built-in applications that assist the hunt. It can quietly swivel 360° to give the hunter every shot when that target buck tries to slip in behind them. The four-legged design gives it great stability, and we all know how important that is when shooting. The height can also be adjusted to 3.5 inches. This can be the difference in the arrow clearing the blind window.
Sometimes the perfect spot to set up their blind can be uneven. Don’t worry, the G-450 has four independently adjustable legs to balance it out and give a solid base every time. It also comes with patented ComfortMAX technology allowing hunters to sit all day comfortably. Gone are the days of the box store special folding blind chair or the 5-gallon bucket.

C&H Precision is the Mounting Plate of choice for the FBI
![]()

Richmond Hill, GA (March 7, 2023) – C&H Precision Weapons – a leader in the industry of mounting pistol optics – has a storied history of use in the hands of many DoD and agency hands. The FBI has used C&H as their optics mounting plate for many years. These mounting plates can accommodate an entirely different optic footprint by taking the older pistol slides and upgrading them. This begs the question,” is it good enough for me, a consumer?”
Many individuals know that the military often contracts with the lowest bidder. Mil-Spec is usually a nice way of saying “cheap,” but not many corners are cut regarding internal and external law enforcement agencies. C&H Precision is used by many of the nation’s elite law enforcement agencies. One of the largest federal law enforcement agencies is the FBI.
The Bureau’s needs are broad. There are many considerations when it comes to pistols and optics mounts. Not only do the mounts need to meet the Bureau requirements, but they also need to meet the needs of an individual user. Anyone who carries in the field must be comfortable with the optic and mounting on their pistol. Because of the diverse environments, optics and mounting plates must be incredibly rugged and durable. This goes far beyond the nomenclature of “mil-spec.” The FBI isn’t restricted to budget like the military, so quality takes precedence over cost.
Looking more closely into C&H Precision Weapons, it’s easy to see that the same standard of excellence necessary for FBI use is found in all consumer products. Because there is no differentiation between Bureau use, each mounting plate is built to the same standard. So, the question remains: if CHPW is good enough for the FBI, is it good for me? At this point, that’s a no-brainer. As C&H is the industry standard, it’s easy to rely comfortably on the proven and effective mounting options from C&H Precision Weapons.

Shoot Long Range with Swaggers SFR10
![]()

![]()

![]()
![]()
Grand Island, NE. March 7, 2023 – Long-range shooters now have the stability and flexibility they have been searching for, and it presents itself in one small tactical bipod. The Swagger Bipods SFR10 was designed for long-range hunting, competition shooting, and long-range shooting. The SFR10’s adjustable flex tension technology allows shooters to fine-tune the flexibility to their situational needs.
The SFR10 model features Modular Leg Technology that allows each leg’s active tension to create a desired range of motion. When shooting at the range or during a competitive situation, flexibility allows transitioning from target to target while shooting from a bench or prone position. Bench shooters did not favor the traditional stiff bipod that had to be picked up and moved between each target. The flexibility of the SF10 allows for a smoother transition while keeping a solid rest to make the shot. If shooting longer range, the SFR10 (Flex to Rigid – Quick Detach) allows shooters to go from a flexible bipod to a solid rest with a push of a button.
One main feature that sets the SFR10 apart from the competition is the ability to quickly acquire a target and load while still tracking that target in any terrain. Predator hunters, prairie dog hunters, and many others have raved over the effectiveness of the SFR10s while in the field because of their mobility and the ability to remove the bipod quickly when needed.
Whether a hunter, a competitive shooter, or someone who simply likes shooting, the one feature that all shooters can agree sets the SFR10 apart from anything that Swagger has ever developed before is the ability to stay flexible yet be quickly set to a locked down in a rigid position.

AG Composites – More Than the Average Custom Stock
OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala. (March 7, 2023) — In this world of mass production, where automated, computerized production helps cut costs and increase the precision of the components being manufactured, consumers often end up with products that are just the same as everyone else’s. That’s not a bad thing when we’re talking about auto parts, but when it comes to your rifle’s stock, having something that has been finished by hand will give it a unique, one-of-a-kind look that engenders a sense of pride of ownership not found in mass-produced stocks.
AG Composites, a veteran-owned company that designs and manufactures advanced composite products, combines the best of both worlds – advanced computerized design and manufacture with hand finishing – to produce the world’s finest composite rifle stocks, each with a unique look.
“AG Composites is a company built on technology using modern design software from Solidworks and AutoDesk to create Computer Aided Design (CAD) models of every stock we manufacture,” said Matt Tandy, AG Composites owner. “At the same time, 90 percent of the work on every AG Composite stock is hands-on craftmanship. We rely on the skills of our stock finishers to give each stock a unique look. For example, each stock is hand painted and, although they need to be consistent in the pattern, I can tell which of our employees painted each stock, as they all have their own unique style. The result is a unique look that our customers love.
“At AG Composites, our design engineers bring their aerospace industry CAD modeling experience to every stock we design,” continued Tandy. “In addition, we use only the highest-quality carbon fiber, epoxy, and paint products to manufacture our premium line of composite rifle stocks. “Our proprietary manufacturing process is the ‘secret sauce’ behind our ability to produce best-in-class stocks with delivery times that are a fraction of our competitors. Consistency, efficiency, cost control, and frequent quality control checks are the primary drivers of each step of our manufacturing process. Our goal is to give our customers outstanding value and superior performance and be the best in the business.”

Big Horn Armory (BHA) to Donate $3,500 to the Wyoming Wildlife Federation (WWF) for November Pay it Forward Program![]()
BHA’s donation will go to the WWF’s Hunters for the Hungry Program to help educate hunters on how they can participate in the program and teach them how to donate meat to H4H for food-insecure communities.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2023) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, will be donating $3,500 to the Wyoming Wildlife Federation (WWF) to help support its Hunters for the Hungry Program (H4H). This donation will help educate hunters on how they can participate in the program and teach them how to donate meat to H4H for food-insecure communities.
“Since we’ve partnered with WWF in 2020, we’ve been able to donate $8,500 that has been used to educate hunters and support meat donation to food-insecure families within Wyoming. We are happy to work with such a worthy cause that helps impact our fellow citizens of Wyoming,” commented Greg Buchel, president of Big Horn Armory.
WWF’s H4H Program began in the fall of 2018. H4H is looking to deepen its hunter donations with its incredible partnering processors in Lander and Jackson, WY in the future. Over the last four years, over 14,100 meals have been donated through the program to food-insecure communities.
“The continued support of Big Horn Armory and their customers is immense for WWF’s ability to communicate within the Hunters for the Hungry network. We have been able to reach more hunters in specific locales about this opportunity to donate game meat because of the past support of Big Horn Armory,” commented Wyoming Wildlife Federation’s Executive Director, Joy Bannon.
She went on to say, “We are excited to continue this program with those making it happen on the ground, like our collaboration with Hole Food Rescue in Jackson, and excited to reach more hunters to let them know of this program. It sets the stage for improved game meat donations in the future. Thank you for what you do for Wyoming.”
The H4H Program was created to connect hunters and meat processors with charitable food organizations to provide high-quality nutrition to community members in need. This program builds on a foundation of conservation stewards who look to give back to local communities by sharing the harvest and cultivating meaningful connections across Wyoming.
All meat is taken to a local processor in the state of Wyoming where portions of donated game meat must be marked as “wild game,” “not for sale,” and be marked with a donated sticker or stamp. Mule deer, whitetail deer, moose, or elk are all potential carriers of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and must be tested before being donated. All antelope, bison, mountain goat, and bighorn sheep may be donated without testing. Email info@wyomingwildlife.org to receive a CWD testing kit.
All hunters must field dress their harvest as they would normally and get the carcass cooled down as soon as possible to prevent any meat spoilage. Make sure to have all necessary license and tag information accompanying the animal at the time of processing. If the harvest is a potential carrier of CWD, be sure to pull a lymph node sample and take it to a check station or a Game and Fish regional office to submit for testing. Hunters may donate portions of their harvest after the whole animal has been processed by specifying how many pounds of meat they would like to be contributed at the time of pick up. The other option is to donate a whole animal for processing. Hunters are responsible for paying for processing. After processing, all portions of donated game meat must be marked as “wild game,” “not for sale,” and “CWD-Free” if applicable. Local partners then distribute the donated meat to those in need.

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.

Get Healthy, America! Un-Fry Chicken & Potatoes Using
Hi Mountain Seasonings
RIVERTON, Wyo. (March 7, 2023) — We all love fried chicken and fried potatoes, right? The smell, the taste … But we also know that eating fried foods is about as unhealthy as it gets. Not only do fried foods have way more calories than their non-fried counterparts, but they’re also often cooked in processed vegetable or seed oils. When heated, these oils can form trans fats, which have been shown to raise your LDL – the bad cholesterol. And regularly eating fried foods has been associated with a number of health problems, including an increased risk of several diseases – and an earlier death.
In fact, a 2017 study (https://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/14/health/fried-potatoes-early-death/index.html) found that people who eat fried potatoes two or more times a week double their risk of an early death compared with those who avoid them. And a 2019 study published in the medical journal BMJ (https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/fried-food-linked-to-heightened-risk-of-death-among-older-us-women/), showed that women eating one or more servings of fried food a day had an 8 percent higher risk of death from all causes as well as heart-related death compared with those who did not eat fried food. More specifically, eating fried chicken had a 13 percent greater risk of death and 12 percent increased risk of a heart-related death. For fried fish, the rise in risk of death and heart-related death was 7-13 percent, respectively.
That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy mouthwatering chicken and potatoes. Instead of frying, try using Hi Mountain Seasonings’ Un-Fried Chicken & Potatoes recipe – one of several free recipes available on the Hi Mountain Seasonings’ website, www.himtnjerky.com. This recipe revolves around HMS’ Fiesta Salsa Burger Seasoning, a delicious mix of dehydrated bell peppers, onions, jalapenos and garlic, salt, onion and garlic powder, cilantro, sugar, jalapeno powder, spices, and more; a 4.9 oz. container costs $8.49 on the website. And you can make a delicious dipping sauce using HMS Pineapple Sriracha Bacon Seasoning; a 5.1 oz. container costs $8.49 on the HMS website. The end result is a scrumptious meal for four that’s both delicious and healthy. Even the pickiest of eaters in your family will be asking for a second helping!
Un-Fried Chicken & Potatoes
Makes 4 Servings
Adjust oven rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°. Wash and dry potatoes. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Place 2 tbsp butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko, parmesan cheese, half the Fiesta Salsa seasoning (2 ¼ tbsp – you will use the rest in next step).
Toss potatoes on baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil and remaining Fiesta Salsa seasoning. Roast on top rack for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towel. Place on a plate, spread tops of chicken with 1 tsp mayonnaise each (you’ll use remaining later). Mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (do not coat undersides). Carefully place on separate baking sheet and roast on middle rack until potatoes are golden brown and tender and chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes more.
In a second bowl, combine remaining mayonnaise with Pineapple Sriracha seasoning to taste for dipping.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) revised the form in December 2022 to reflect new statutory requirements implemented due to the enactment of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the NICS Denial Notification Act and the ATF Final Rule 2021R-05F.

AFSOC SELECTS MQ-9B SKYGUARDIAN® FOR UAS FAMILY OF SYSTEMS CONCEPT
GA-ASI to Deliver Three Aircraft to First U.S. Customer
SAN DIEGO – 06 March 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is proud to announce a new contract with U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) to provide three MQ-9B SkyGuardian® remotely piloted aircraft systems to its first U.S. customer.
AFSOC’s acquisition of MQ-9B builds on more than 20 years as a GA-ASI partner and more than 14 years flying the MQ-9A Reaper, operating more than 40 aircraft in harsh environments around the world.
MQ-9B will feature a key role in developing AFSOC’s new Adaptive Airborne Enterprise (A2E) concept, which envisions AFSOC projecting air power for special operations forces from beyond the horizon, using a family of large UAS and expendable, small UAS from permissive to denied environments.
“We’re very excited to continue our great partnership with AFSOC well into the future,” said David R. Alexander, president of GA-ASI. “MQ-9B is the ideal platform for inserting air-launched effects into potentially hostile environments. The MQ-9B’s combination of range, endurance, reduced manpower footprint, and overall flexibility will make it a true centerpiece of AFSOC’s future family of advanced UAS systems.”
MQ-9B represents the next generation of UAS, having demonstrated airborne endurance of more than 40 hours in certain configurations, automatic takeoffs and landings under SATCOM-only control, as well as a GA-ASI-developed Detect and Avoid System, among other upgrades. Its development is the result of a company-funded effort to deliver a UAS that can meet the stringent airworthiness certification requirements of various global military and civil authorities.
MQ-9B has garnered significant interest from customers throughout the world. After the UK Ministry of Defence selected MQ-9B SkyGuardian for its upcoming Protector program, the Belgian Ministry of Defense 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 beginning in April.

Brownells New BRN-180SH Upper Optimized for Suppressor Use
GRINNELL, Iowa (March 6, 2023) – Brownells unveiled the BRN-180SH complete upper – the newest addition to the popular BRN-180 line – announcing it at the IWA Outdoor Classics show in Nuremberg, Germany.
Chambered in 300 Blackout, the BRN-180SH has 10.5” barrel with 5/8-24 muzzle threads, and a gas system with three settings –unsuppressed, suppressed, and off.
The BRN-180SH retails for $999.
With the gas system turned completely off, the upper is converted into “single shot” mode, virtually eliminating sound produced by gases escaping through the ejection port or by the bolt carrier group cycling.
When fired with a suppressor attached and the gas system turned off, the BRN-180SH in single-shot is even more quiet than a BRN-180S.
The BRN-180SH comes with an adjustable charging handle that can be turned downward to help transform the upper into a straight-pull action, allowing for fast follow-up shots when set for the quietest possible operation.
The upper can be quickly converted back to unsuppressed shooting with a simple twist of the gas adjustment and by turning the charging handle back to its upward position.
Like the rest of the BRN-180 line of uppers, the BRN-180SH fits onto any standard AR-15 or BRN-180 lower, and requires no buffer tube assembly. It readily operates with a folding stock, or no stock at all.
To see the new BRN-180SH, and the rest of the BRN-180 line of uppers, lowers and parts, visit www.Brownells.com

GA-ASI CONTINUES LONGSHOT SUPPORT
Selected by DARPA to Continue With Phase 2 of Program Development
SAN DIEGO – 06 March 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is pleased to continue supporting the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) LongShot program. LongShot changes the paradigm of air combat operations by demonstrating an unmanned air-launched vehicle capable of employing air-to-air weapons.
Current air superiority concepts rely on advanced manned fighter aircraft to provide a penetrating counter air capability to effectively deliver weapons. It is envisioned that LongShot will increase the survivability of manned platforms by allowing them to be at standoff ranges far away from enemy threats, while an air-launched LongShot unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) efficiently “closes the gap” to take more effective missile shots.
After a successful Preliminary Design Review (PDR) in February 2022 at the end of Phase 1, GA-ASI was selected by DARPA to continue into Phase 2 in March 2022. During Phase 2, detailed designs are being completed and ground tests conducted to decrease program risk.
A key test event completed early in Phase 2 was multi-body wind tunnel test, characterizing the LongShot air vehicle and air-to-air weapon separation. Critical Design Review (CDR) for the program is planned for early 2023, which will complete the Phase 2 portion of the program. GA-ASI is currently generating a proposal response for the third phase of the program.
“GA-ASI is committed to the successful flight demonstration of the LongShot air vehicle,” said GA-ASI Senior Director of Advanced Programs Michael Atwood.
Upcoming Phase 2 ground tests will demonstrate the viability of key subsystems. Phase 3 would initiate the prototype manufacturing and flight testing phase of the program. Flight testing would begin in 2024.

Hobie® Eyewear Carl Jocumsen Cleans Up the Tennessee River in Knoxville
![]()

Oceanside, CA (March 6, 2023) – Bass fishing fans will find a better-kept Tennessee River when the Bassmaster Classic launches March 24-26, 2023, due to an extensive clean-up event led by Hobie® Eyewear fishing pro and Classic qualifier Carl Jocumsen.
The Fear My Heart River Clean Up, which stems from Jocumsen’s passion for the Tennessee River in fishing and other recreational uses, will take place Sunday, March 12, on the Tennessee River in Knoxville, just upriver of the Classic launch site. Hobie® Eyewear will be on-site to lend hands to the clean-up effort and to support other participants. Support includes the donation of a FREE pair of sunglasses from the Hobie® Floating Collection to the first 20 people that sign a waiver and 10 additional free pairs for winners chosen at random after the cleanup concludes. All participants will receive a $50 voucher for a pair of Hobie® Eyewear sunglasses.
Hobie® Eyewear, which recently partnered with Jocumsen, chose the Floating Collection for this effort because a key benefit of floating sunglasses is that pairs of these glasses that inadvertently end up overboard can be retrieved and therefore don’t turn into litter in a river or lake. The Floating Collection includes five models and several frame and lens color options.
Sustainability is a high priority for Hobie® Eyewear, which can be seen in conscious efforts during the past year to reduce single-use plastic use in packaging and the ongoing development of means to use eco-friendly packaging.
“We continue researching and testing ways to utilize recycled materials in select product offerings and utilize eco-friendly manufacturing and freight methods,” said Dylan Coates, Marketing Manager of Hobie® Eyewear.
The Fear My Heart River Clean Up is being held in conjunction with Keep Tennessee River Beautiful and several other organizations and will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 12, at Governor Ned McWherter/Riverside Landing Park, 1648 Riverside Drive, Knoxville, TN.

Fisher Space Pens’ Bullet – The EDC Crowd Pleaser
![]()

Boulder City, NV (March 2, 2023) – Some people feel a modern smartphone has replaced a pen, notepad, flashlight, and camera. For some, it has. Even in this age of modern technology, being able to write something down can still be one of the most important and meaningful things you do. Putting pen to paper creates a much stronger memory association with our thoughts. Ever tried to recite the phone numbers of the four people you speak to the most on the phone? It’s more complicated than you think. It’s the old-fashioned art of brushing a pen across a page that Fisher Space Pen® has been at the forefront of for decades. The original Bullet has been the shining star of generations and still stands today as a classic piece of American culture.
Few pens can go and write where Fisher Space Pen can. Noted as the first ballpoint Fisher Pen, the original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in 1948. Paul Fisher machined the pen design shaped from solid aluminum. The Bullet Pen is regarded as an outstanding example of industrial art. The classic design of the Fisher Bullet Pen has been held in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art. Utilizing the pressurized PR4 ink refill cartridge synonymous with Fisher products, meaning they will write upside down, at any angle, underwater, through grease, at extreme temperatures (-30 to +250 degrees F), on almost any surface. Of course, even the gravity-free vacuum of space won’t stop these pens from writing.
Being a part of American pop-culture is nothing new for this compact bullet space pen. In fact, the popularity of this particular space pen created such an impression on the writers on the hit tv series Seinfeld that they created an entire episode entitled ‘The Pen’ to feature the story and uniqueness behind this iconic ballpoint pen.
EDC stands for Everyday Carry. Your EDC is the collection of items you carry in your pockets or your bag daily that you tap your pockets for before you head out the door. EDC are things you feel naked and unorganized without, consisting of a pocket knife, hanky, flashlight, key fob, cell phone, wallet, sunglasses and a pen.
Chrome Bullet Pens are the perfect size for EDC in a wallet, pocket, purse, travel neck pouch, organizer or backpack. The Chrome Bullet Pen is compact, and the cap posts on the end of the barrel to make for a comfortable writing experience. In an open position, it’s a full-sized, evenly balanced writing tool. Whether signing a receipt, jotting down a phone number, directions, taking general notes or puncturing packaging tape, there is no shortage of uses for an EDC pen. Regarding self-defense, having an all-metal construction is an advantage. The average writing pen is not known for its durability; the Bullet Space Pen is.
Carry your EDC pen confidently, knowing it’s the Fisher Chrome Bullet Pen!

Fisher Chrome Bullet Space Pen Features:
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like “free” “personalized” “complimentary” or “customized.” A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like “for a limited time only” or “only 7 remaining”!
