EAST ALTON, IL (January 12, 2023) —Winchester Ammunition announces the launch of a reduced pressure .30-06 ammunition offering optimized for use in M1 Garand rifles. The M1 Garand is much more than a firearm, it is an iconic symbol of the greatest generation’s fight for freedom during WWII.

Since its inception however, the .30-06 has been modernized and improved to be flatter shooting for modern hunting rifles while departing from the original design.
Featuring a 150-grain Ball M2 round nose bullet with slower burning powders, the new M1 Garand ammunition is the ideal choice for anyone taking their collectable war-time rifle to the range.
Don’t let that special relic just sit in the safe, pick up a box of Winchester M1 Garand and head to the range to experience history yourself.

OUTDOOR DISCOVERY: Detecting Excitement

Detecting Excitement in the Building

High-power Minelab MANTICORE, and EQUINOX 700 and 900 models headline exceptional new products at SHOT Show 2023

Chicago, IL (January 11, 2023) – Minelab, the world leader in metal-detecting technologies for gold prospecting, treasure hunting, and landmine clearance, will be fully detectable at SHOT Show 2023.

New products are the driving force on the floor – and Minelab will be exhibiting bonafide show stealers.

MANTICORE

MANTICORE delivers an unrivaled detecting experience that pushes the boundaries of detecting while delivering more power, more depth, more information, and more finds.

Building on the successes of Minelab’s original Multi-IQ technology, Multi-IQ+ transmits more power through the coil at a wider range of operating frequencies to light up more targets in the ground. It has completely revamped signal processing, which delivers enhanced discrimination, greater Target ID resolution, improved target separation, and greater ability to tune discrimination and audio to suit detecting conditions.

See targets from a new perspective with MANTICORE’s Two-Dimensional (2D) Identification (ID) Map. A 100-Target ID range and a visual Ferrous Limits layer helps detectorists take greater control and identify targets with precision. Exceeding expectations with every swing, MANTICORE delivers improved Target ID stability and close-target separation. With customizable Ferrous Limits, detectorists have unprecedented control to accept ferrous coins, reject complex ferrous targets, or dial-in maximum target unmasking in iron.

Despite its power, MANTICORE weighs only 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs.) and features a three-piece, highly collapsible carbon-fiber shaft system with premium SCORPION Armrest. MANTICORE also features a large color screen that delivers the most intuitive user experience ever offered on a detector.

EQUINOX 700 All-Terrain, All-Treasure and EQUINOX 900 All-Terrain, All-Target

Minelab is pleased to announce two all-new additions to its popular EQUINOX Series: the next-generation EQUINOX 700 and 900 detectors.

New EQUINOX 700 and 900 models feature improved Target Separation capability, which adjusts recovery speed and iron bias. More high-resolution Target IDs – 119 total (99 non-ferrous and 20 ferrous) – help detectorists better distinguish between trash and treasure like never before.

EQUINOX 700 and 900 detectors (2.8 lbs.) are 5% lighter than EQUINOX 600 and 800 models (2.96 lbs.) as well.

Dive deeper to find more treasure. The new submersible EQUINOX 700 and 900 detectors are rated IP68, providing improved waterproof performance to 5 meters (16 ft.).

EQUINOX 700 and 900’s five Audio Modes with user-configurable options mean the sound of treasure has never been clearer. Detectorists will not only hear if a target is trash or treasure, but they’ll also be able to gauge its size and depth simply by listening.

Additionally, Minelab’s new EQUINOX 700 and 900 detectors ensure that the hunt won’t end when the sun goes down. New features like Control Pod Flashlight, Red Backlight Display, Backlit Keypad, and Handgrip Vibration combine to help detectorists find their way to treasures long after others have given up the search.

BECOME A BELIEVER AT THE MINELAB BOOTH

Located in the Venetian Expo Level 1, this year’s Minelab booth (#41516) is a can’t-miss stop for SHOT Show attendees.

Made famous by the hit History Channel show, The Curse of Oak Island, Minelab DETEXPERT, Gary Drayton, will be in the Minelab booth on Wednesday, January 18, greeting fans and providing tips and other information relative to Minelab metal-detecting equipment and technologies.

GA-ASI Flies Multiple Missions Using Artificially Intelligent Pilots

clip_image002


GA-ASI FLIES MULTIPLE MISSIONS USING ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT PILOTS
AI Flights Featuring Avenger® Advance CCA Ecosystem

SAN DIEGO – 11 January 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) further advanced its Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) ecosystem by flying three unique missions with artificially intelligent (AI) pilots on an operationally relevant Open Mission System (OMS) software stack. A company-owned Avenger® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) was paired with “digital twin” aircraft to autonomously conduct Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) multi-objective collaborative combat missions. The flights, which took place on Dec. 14, 2022, from GA-ASI’s Desert Horizons flight operations facility in El Mirage, Calif., demonstrate the company’s commitment to maturing its CCA ecosystem for Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP) UAS using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). This provides a new and innovative tool for next-generation military platforms to make decisions under dynamic and uncertain real-world conditions.

The flight used GA-ASI’s novel Reinforcement Learning (RL) architecture built using agile software development methodology and industry-standard tools such as Docker and Kubernetes to develop and validate three deep learning RL algorithms in an operationally relevant environment. RL agents demonstrated single, multi, and hierarchical agent behaviors. The single agent RL model successfully navigated the live plane while dynamically avoiding threats to accomplish its mission. Multi-agent RL models flew a live and virtual Avenger to collaboratively chase a target while avoiding threats. The hierarchical RL agent used sensor information to select courses of action based on its understanding of the world state. This demonstrated the AI pilot’s ability to successfully process and act on live real-time information independently of a human operator to make mission-critical decisions at the speed of relevance.

For the missions, real-time updates were made to flight paths based on fused sensor tracks provided by virtual Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) models, and RL agent missions were dynamically selected by operators while the plane was airborne, demonstrating live, effective human-machine teaming for autonomy. This live operational data describing AI pilot performance will be fed into GA-ASI’s rapid retaining process for analysis and used to refine future agent performance.

“The concepts demonstrated by these flights set the standard for operationally relevant mission systems capabilities on CCA platforms,” said GA-ASI Senior Director of Advanced Programs Michael Atwood. “The combination of airborne high-performance computing, sensor fusion, human-machine teaming, and AI pilots making decisions at the speed of relevance shows how quickly GA-ASI’s capabilities are maturing as we move to operationalize autonomy for CCAs.”

The team used a government-furnished Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment (CODE) autonomy engine and the government-standard OMS messaging protocol to enable communication between the RL agents and the LVC system. Utilizing government standards such as OMS will make rapid integration of autonomy for CCAs possible.

In addition, GA-ASI used a General Dynamics Mission Systems’ EMC2 to run the autonomy architecture. EMC2 is an open architecture Multi-Function Processor with multi-level security infrastructure that is used to host the autonomy architecture, demonstrating the ability to bring high-performance computing resources to CCAs to perform quickly tailorable mission sets depending on the operational environment.

This is another in an ongoing series of autonomous flights performed using internal research and development funding to prove out important AI/ML concepts for UAS.

Revision® Announces Gryphon Ecosystem – Eyewear Solutions Tailored for Your Environment and Mission

ESSEX JUNCTION, VERMONT (January 11, 2023) – Cold weather and blowing debris are no match for Revision’s new Gryphon integrated eyepro and headwear system. The system consists of a pair of new goggles and an array of compatible face coverings that attach to the goggle using Revision’s GrypMag™ technology, and features Revision’s revolutionary I-Vis™ lens technology. The result is an adaptable, comfortable, and anti-fog eyepro system offering unrivaled performance across a range of environments and equipment configurations. For the first time ever, you have seamlessly integrated eyepro and face covering solutions designed to perform and adapt to the environments you operate in.

“In extreme environments where eyes are constantly under threat, you need gear that does more than prevent eye injuries,” says Revision CEO Amy Coyne. “You need gear that performs in various environments and doesn’t distract you from your mission or compromise your situational awareness. That’s why we partnered with Anon® to integrate their MFI (Magnetic Face Integration) originally developed for the ski and snowboard market into our line of ballistic goggle and face covering systems as GrypMag™ – a simple, seamless way to mate goggle and face coverings like balaclavas, gaiters and shemaghs. Combined with I-Vis lens technology, we now offer a complete system of environmentally tailored eyewear designed to perform and protect.”

The goggles in the Gryphon line include the brand new MerlinHawk™ ballistic goggle and the proven SnowHawk® cold weather ballistic goggle. The MerlinHawk goggle is designed to maximize the field of view – its broad lens coverage gives the wearer the greatest level of both situational awareness and ballistic protection. Additionally new MissionSwitch™ reversable strap clips enable you to flip the clip position on the fly from a wide fit to a narrow fit, adapting the goggle for use with a wide range of helmets and other headgear. The SnowHawk goggle is designed to provide anti-fog, ballistic eye protection in the most extreme cold weather environments using an advanced, dual pane lens system. Revision offers an array of lenses for the goggles that includes a range of standard mil-spec tints and Revision’s new, next-generation I-Vis lenses. All lenses feature Revision’s OcuMax® anti-fog and scratch resistant technology.

Both MerlinHawk and SnowHawk goggles feature Revision’s GrypMag accessory integration – a magnetic interface built into the Gryphon system goggles and compatible GrypMag face coverings. GrypMag-compatible gaiters, shemaghs, and balaclavas each have a slim magnetic insert that mate with the base of the goggle to form a comfortable, gap-free seal between the goggle and the face covering.

I-Vis lens technology uses artificial intelligence to identify the lens tint that provides the greatest contrast, the widest range of color, and the highest level of color accuracy in each of the major areas of operation around the globe. The result is a suite of available lens tints that enhance your ability to observe, fight, and survive in jungle, desert, alpine, arctic, and urban environments.

Additional product information is available at www.revisionmilitary.com and Gryphon products will be available for purchase from Revision’s select dealers.

Barnett’s New Hyper Raptor Crossbow Delivers Devastating Performance at a Disruptive Price

Barnett’s New Hyper Raptor Crossbow Delivers Devastating Performance at a Disruptive Price

Tarpon Springs, FL (January 11, 2022) – The all-new Hyper Raptor leads the way with premium features, performance-driven innovation, and industry-leading technology to produce the smoothest, fastest, easiest shooting experience on the market. Best of all, Barnett® offers all of this at an incredible retail price!

At the heart of every Barnett crossbow is quality and dependability. As the leading pioneer of the modern crossbow movement, Barnett’s never-compromising focus on precision, safety and performance has earned the trust of hunters from every walk of life and every corner of the world. With over 60 years of experience and scrutinizing every aspect of every crossbow, Barnett is proud to be the world’s #1 manufacturer of crossbows.

The Hyper Raptor excels in every aspect of performance-inspired design and technology. With a lightweight composite riser and measuring just over seven inches axle-to-axle when cocked, the crossbow provides excellent maneuverability in tight-quartered hunting applications. Its pivoting limb pockets put less weight at the front of the crossbow while making a more durable shooting platform with reduced recoil and vibration. With its compact and energy-efficient design, the Hyper Raptor sends small-diameter HyperFlite™ arrows down-range with incredible speed – up to 410 feet per second and 142 ft. lbs. of energy for maximum bone-crushing penetration.

Like all crossbows in the Hyper™ series, the Hyper Raptor is paired with Barnett’s exclusive and patent-pending 20-inch, .204 diameter HyperFlite arrows. The arrow’s 21% increased FOC (front of center) and 61% greater ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift which makes for a deadly combination of blistering speed, downrange accuracy and deeper penetration. With a straightness tolerance of +/- .001 inch, HyperFlite arrows provide more than 25% deeper penetration than the competition.

The Hyper Raptor is not only exceptionally fast, but it proves to be tack-driving accurate as well. Barnett’s new Halo System eliminates cable crossing and cam lean to create perfectly balanced string travel for superior accuracy. Additionally, arrows are held secure with Barnett’s Soft Lok™ Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer System and CNC machined aluminum flight track provides consistency shot after shot.

The Hyper Raptor utilizes a metal-injected molded trigger and TriggerTech™ Frictionless Release Technology (a $200 value). The TriggerTech trigger features a reliable, crisp, 3-pound pull for consistent shots and improved accuracy. This is another example of how Barnett leads the industry in innovation and value. An Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) system and nock sensor are added to ensure the crossbow is loaded correctly. Additionally, the new Rope Hold Roller Ball technology keeps the RCD rope in place as you attach hooks to string for more consistent cocking.

Comfort and customization add the finishing touches to the Hyper Raptor. Hunter-friendly ergonomics are enhanced by multiple features like finger safety reminders above the pass-through forend with Verti-Grip palm rest. An adjustable length-of-pull buttstock and a padded, micro-adjustable cheek-rest ensure a perfect length-of-pull and proper scope-to-eye alignment. Pre-installed string suppressors provide reduced recoil, vibration, and noise during the shot.

Barnett packs even more value to complete the Hyper Raptor package. The crossbow comes outfitted with a premium 4×36 illuminated, multi-reticle scope with flip-up caps. The scope offers precise target acquisition in a full range of ambient light conditions from twilight to high noon. The scope is adjustable so that the reticles on the scope are calibrated to exact yardages based on arrow speed.

The full package includes a premium side-mount quiver, three 20-inch HyperFlite arrows with field points, 4×36 illuminated, multi-reticle scope, integrated sled-style rope cocking device and lube wax. Best of all, the Hyper Raptor’s single bolt assembly comes mostly assembled and virtually ready-to-hunt straight out of the box.

The search is officially over for the smoothest, fastest, easiest shooting experience around. The Hyper Raptor truly delivers devastating performance with an unbelievable $599 price tag.

Ultimate Cold-Weather Hunting Gear in Nomad’s Conifer NXT Series

Hunters Find Ultimate Cold-Weather Hunting Gear in Nomad’s Conifer NXT Series

Charleston, SC (January 11, 2023) – Late season hunts usher in frigid temperatures and often the hottest deer activity of the season. Savvy hunters know that, with the exception of the rut, nothing brings out mature bucks in daylight like freezing temperatures. Deer must feed to supply the necessary energy to stay warm. Thankfully, Nomad’s Conifer NXT Line is designed specifically for these moments.

The Nomad Conifer NXT Jacket and Bibs provide maximum protection and superior huntability in harsh winter conditions. Boasting a whopping 35K waterproofness and 15K breathability rating in their windproof shells, the jacket and bibs feature three unique layers that keep cold winds, rain and snow out while allowing sweat and condensation to dissipate through the shell. The jacket and bibs utilize sound-limiting fabrics that make them virtually silent, while their generous cut makes for easy layering. The Conifer NXT Jacket and Bibs feature stain-resistant fabrics so that stains can be easily washed out.

The Conifer NXT Jacket is a must for any late-season hunter. The jacket includes PrimaLoft® insulation in the outer shell, with 100g in the body and 80g in the sleeves for a proportional distribution of heat. Additionally, the jacket sports a three-piece hood with adjustments for added warmth and comfort. Strategically located, sherpa-lined hand-warmer pockets are a nice touch on a cold day. Two waterproof zip chest pockets provide a dry place for a wallet, phone, hunting license and other valuables. Additional waterproof cargo pockets are ideal for keeping necessities within reach. The jacket also features a rear port to allow for a safety harness under the jacket.

Built on a solid, windproof, waterproof and breathable outer shell, Nomad’s Conifer NXT Bibs offer hunters excellent protection and a strategic advantage for late-season hunts. The bibs sport 100g of PrimaLoft® insulation yet provide plenty of room for layering. Adjustable suspender straps and waist, and a four-way stretch cross gusset, provide a custom fit. The bibs feature two fleece-lined cargo pockets, and a zippered chest pocket are conveniently placed for gear storage. Zip-to-hip leg zippers allow hunters to slip into these bibs even with boots on.

The Conifer NXT jacket and bibs feature Mossy’s Oak Hybrid Droptine camouflage pattern exclusive to Nomad. The pattern offers exceptional depth with sharp-edged contrast and will work well for whitetails from the east coast to west coast.

Nomad Outdoor and its line-up of outdoor apparel will be on display in booth #3701 at the Archery Trade Association’s 2023 Trade Show in Indianapolis, Indiana, from January 11-13, 2023. Whether hunting for big game, waterfowl, or anything in between, Nomad Outdoor keeps outdoor enthusiasts protected from the elements with base layers, pants, jackets, bibs, and more, all made for the rigors of the field.

LUCID Optics Introduces The E7 Red Dot Optic!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jan. 10, 2023

LUCID Optics Introduces Their New E7 Red Dot Optic!

(Wyoming) – Lucid Optics is excited to announce the launch of its new E7 Red Dot optic, designed to withstand the physical forces of semi-automatic pistol slides and provide fast target acquisition for both pistol and carbine applications.

The E7’s ACRO mounting system offers unparalleled flexibility in platform adaptation, while its high efficiency LED emitter and M5 Reticle have been proven to be 30% faster to target than a standard dot. The E7 is also ideal for use as a backup sight on magnified scopes and thermal imagers, and is vision compatible in tough environments.

In addition to its durability and versatility, the E7 is operationally parallax-free, meaning that with a proper zero, the reticle will always be “on target” no matter what angle the eye is in relation to the field of view.

At Lucid Optics, we believe that “Overkill is Overrated,” and the E7 Red Dot optic is the perfect example of this philosophy in action. We are confident that it will exceed the expectations of even the most demanding users.
The E7 Red Dot has an MSRP of $299 and will be available at www.lucidoptics.com or at your local dealer mid-year 2023.

GPO Spectra™ Reflex Dot: The Next Generation of a Reflex is Here

GPO Spectra™ Reflex Dot: The Next Generation of a Reflex is Here

RICHMOND, Va. (Jan. 10, 2023) — GPO USA has announced its entrance into the reflex sight market with the introduction of its new GPO Spectra™ Reflex sight. For quick target acquisition made for pistols and MSR shooting, nothing helps more than a high-quality red dot sight. This new introduction offers next generation red dot technology from GPO with the highest quality dense polymer lenses that are fully multi-coated with GPO’s proprietary GPObright™ high transmission technology.

“All GPO products are the result of decades of market experience, combined with German engineering skills and trusted production partners – all 100 percent tested in Germany,” said Mike Jensen, GPO USA’s owner and CEO. “Any company that manufactures riflescopes and observation optics today must know the shooting sports customer, what they use optics for and precisely what matters to them. That is our mission. And we’ve used this knowledge and experience to design and manufacture the next generation of reflex sights with our new GPO Spectra Reflex Dot Sight.”

The features and benefits of this new sight are voluminous. The built-in photo sensor adjusts the brightness of the 3mm red dot automatically depending on the outside/inside light conditions. There is no rubber push button which easily damages during extended usage; the device is all-the-time ready to go. A built-in motion sensor will switch the device automatically on or off, extending battery life up to an astounding 25,000 hours. Also, the battery is placed in a sealed drawer on the side of the device, making it unnecessary to dismount the device and zero it again when changing the battery. The battery drawer can be removed without tools, and the time to change the battery is less than one minute. Also, the windage and elevation turrets offer tactile clicks by turning and adjusting them with a small tool. The user can feel each of the clicks which ensures the adjustments needed for precise zeroing.

Measuring just .90 inches tall x 1.04 inches wide x 1.6 inches long (23×26.5×40.6 mm) and weighing a scant 0.78 oz. (22 grams) – nearly 15 percent less than comparable sights — the GPO Spectra Pistol Dot Sight will mate with virtually any modern semiautomatic handgun, or it comes with a picatinny rail mount for any modular sporting rifle. The polymer lens measures 0.87 x 0.63 inches (22 x 16 mm). It features a black anodized aluminum housing, is fully waterproof, and is powered by a single CR1632 battery.

The GPO Spectra Reflex Dot Sight has a suggested retail price of $379.99, it is available at retailers nationwide and conveniently at www.gpo-usa.com. All GPO products are backed by the best lifetime warranty and service in the industry, GPO’s exclusive Spectacular Lifetime Warranty™. More information is available at www.gpo-usa.com or by calling 844-MY BINOS (844-692-4667.)

Elite Force is THE name in airsoft. From indoor CQB arenas to sprawling milsim scenarios, you’ll find Elite Force products in the hands of the best airsofters in the game. Elite Force airsoft products are also tools for training and backyard practice.

P2P is Prepared to Protect. This line of pepper ball launching airguns empower individuals to protect themselves, their families and their properties with less lethal option. P2P offers peace of mind when small children are present or when traditional firearms are unwanted or unavailable.

T4E stands for “Training For Engagement.” T4E guns fit duty holsters and accept accessories, which allow for some of the most realistic training possible with less-lethal products. At less than 10-cents per round, even small law enforcement and security agencies can afford force-on-force training with T4E. T4E also offers paintball markers optimized for sport play.

Axeon offers an affordable alternative in the crowded and confusing world of shooting optics. Traditional rifle scopes and red dots are complemented by unique items such as the Absolute Zero, which allows shooters to zero their firearms with one shot, and the Second Zero, which provides a fast and simple firing solution when your target is at a greater distance than your scope’s zero.

REKT’s foam-dart launchers use the power of CO2 to allow you to reach out and touch someone from long range.

Charleston, SC (January 10, 2023) – Huk, the nation’s leading manufacturer of performance fishing gear, has partnered with Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Billy Strings on three new custom-designed tees. Incorporating art from Billy’s upcoming US tour, which kicks off Dec 30th in New Orleans, LA., the designs reflect Billy’s passion for fishing and his unique musical perspective.

Billy is a singular generational artist, expressing himself by writing songs that reach well beyond a single genre. The Billy Strings-inspired Huk tees will incorporate one-of-a-kind fishing-inspired themes that combine his unique passion for music, art, and fishing.

Huk’s connection with Billy stems from his off-stage love of bass fishing. “That’s what I do. I go fishing as often as I can. Sometimes, I’ll get home from a long tour and should probably go to bed, but instead, I put my boat in the water.” says Strings. “My boat, full of fishing rods, lures, cigarette packs, and empty snack wrappers, is where I find some peace and quiet and get away from the pressure of touring and life on the road. If you love fishing like we all do, you get it.”

Raised in Michigan and now based in Nashville, Strings is known as one of music’s most compelling artists. Since his 2017 debut, he has been awarded several accolades, including Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2022 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year, and Song of the Year at the 2022 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards, Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards, and was named Entertainer of the Year and Guitar Player of the Year at the IBMA Awards. He has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Austin City Limits, and Bluegrass Underground.
