RAFAEL and HENSOLDT team on integrating and offering Electronic Warfare capabilities to the German Luftwaffe

Posted on Friday, 21 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

RAFAEL and HENSOLDT team on integrating and offering Electronic Warfare capabilities to the German Luftwaffe

The two companies will combine state-of-the-art technologies

Haifa/Taufkirchen, October 20th 2022 – Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. and sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT are joining forces to offer a readily-available, state-of-the-art and mature solution to the Luftwaffe’s requirement of airborne electronic warfare capabilities with Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in 2028. The exclusive teaming agreement was signed in Tel Aviv on the 18th of October, by Thomas Müller, CEO HENSOLDT, and Maj. Gen (ret.) Yoav Har-Even, President and CEO of RAFAEL.

RAFAEL and HENSOLDT agreed to embark on a joint endeavor to integrate and enhance RAFAEL’s Sky Shield airborne electronic warfare pod as a mature off-the-shelf Escort Jammer (ESJ), with the latest airborne electronic attack national sensitive technology (KALÆTRON Attack) by HENSOLDT. This new capability supports the Luftwaffe’s decision to adapt the Eurofighter Typhoon into an electronic attack platform. The new EA pod utilizes the existing interfaces of the Litening Pod, already combat-proven on the Typhoon, thus significantly simplifying the integration efforts and saving invaluable resources.

Together, RAFAEL and HENSOLDT bring the necessary experience not only as solution providers for ESJ, but also in the program environment of the Eurofighter and related integration and certification processes.

HENSOLDT has developed the “Kalaetron Attack” Airborne Jamming System which recently confirmed its effectiveness against various enemy air defense radars. It is part of HENSOLDT’s fully digital ‘Kalaetron’ product family, which is used in self-protection and signal intelligence systems in the German armed forces. In addition to cognitive software elements, the core comprises a fully digitized, broadband sensor and an electronically controllable, software defined jammer. Metallic 3D printing enabled a condensed design of the electronic components so that the jammer can be easily integrated into pod formats commonly used worldwide or directly into bodies of various flying platforms. The system’s effectiveness and responsiveness are also based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, which enable the classification of unknown threats in the field and the rapid evaluation of large amounts of data. In doing so, the many years of in-depth experience in the development of jamming techniques against radars were efficiently combined with the latest techniques of applying Edge AI computing.

RAFAEL’s Sky Shield Escort Jammer is a military-off-the-shelf solution already delivered to several customers worldwide, therefore allowing for easy integration onto fast jet platforms. Sky Shield leverages the vast experience of RAFAEL in the Electronic Warfare domain and its experience with German Air Force platforms. By using AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) technology, the single wideband jamming pod covers present and future high frequency range while providing a High Effective Radiation Power (ERP). Sky Shield is able to generate simultaneous jamming and deception transmissions against multiple threats, and its commonality with existing technology, coupled with its open architecture, allow HENSOLDT and RAFAEL to offer a very robust growth potential to address future challenges and provide for exclusive national building blocks. RAFAEL serves as a centre of excellence for Electronic Warfare and is the operator of Israel’s national EW range, possessing significant world-leading expertise in this domain. Some of RAFAEL’s combat-proven, end-to-end airborne solutions are in service in Germany, including the LITENING and RECCELITE Electro-Optic pods on the Luftwaffe’s Eurofighter Typhoon. The company’s cutting-edge, life-saving defense solutions are in service with numerous NATO-member nations, including the U.S and across Europe.

“Our companies are experts in airborne electronic warfare and combine latest technology with battle-proven equipment”, says Thomas Müller, CEO HENSOLDT. “Based on these skills and supported by existing government-to-government agreements, we are able to offer the Luftwaffe a sovereign solution to the timely capability transfer of the ECR Tornado and, at the same time, to expand the capabilities of the Eurofighter by an escort jamming solution proven in modern operational scenarios.”

RAFAEL’s President and CEO, Mr. Yoav Har-Even: “Our new partnership with HENSOLDT is a significant milestone in expanding Rafael’s strategic investments in Germany. This collaboration is a direct result of Rafael’s strategy to apply localization and ensure local sovereignty. HENSOLDT and RAFAEL share a common vision, unique knowledge, and an organizational culture of excellence. Under the leadership of HENSOLDT, these will come together synergistically to provide the Luftwaffe with top-notch EW/EA capabilities, necessary to address current and future threats and challenges.”

Low Witness BUIS coming to C&H Precision Weapon’s lineup

Posted on Friday, 21 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Lowitness BUIS coming to C&H Precision Weapon’s lineup

Richmond Hill, GA (October 20, 2022) – C&H Precision Weapons – a leader in the industry of mounting pistol optics – is now expanding its offerings by providing a set of low-profile iron sights. The low-witness sights are set up and designed to work with your chosen optic. They are made to specifications and measurements matching mounted pistol optics to provide the best low-witness visibility.

Made in the USA, these backup iron sights (BUIS) do not obscure the sight picture of your powered optic. Traditional co-witness BUIS can eliminate visibility in up to 50% of your field of view. Other lower BUIS can block nearly 33% of the optic field of view. CHPWS has gone to great lengths to preserve the field of view. These blacked-out rear notch sights protrude 1/10th of an inch into the FOV. Not only does this make for an incredibly useful red dot, but an assured backup iron.

Where C&H Precision ‘takes aim’ is in the necessary BUIS height. Each red dot optic has completely different measurements; CHPWS has taken the guesswork out of the choice. Each optic will have its own low-profile BUIS to match the desired height.

Options on firearm platforms and optics can be reviewed at: https://chpws.com/

C&H Precision Weapons (CHPWS) is a family owned and operated small business, serving the shooting community from our shop located in Richmond Hill, Georgia. We specialize in hand-crafted precision rifles, custom 1911’s, pistol slide upgrades and the design and manufacturing of special projects within the firearms industry. All work is performed in-house by real gun builders, real engineers and professional shooters.

Blackhawk® Wins Gold Choice Award from Tactical Retailer

Blackhawk Voted Best Vest/Backpack by Industry Readers

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 20, 2022 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has been named the winner of a Gold Award for best vests and backpacks by readers of Tactical Retailer magazine. Blackhawk was recognized as part of the Tactical Retailer Readers’ Choice Awards, which recognizes best-in-class products.

Tactical Retailer magazine is one of the longest-standing and most respected B2B brands in the retailer market. The magazine developed the Reader’s Choice Awards to help give a voice to the independent retailer, gunsmith, shooting range employee, content contributor and manufacturer representative. The awards acknowledge those products and brands that bring the best gear to market each year.

“By honoring a vow from a Navy Seal in 1990, the Blackhawk brand was born and has become well known throughout the shooting sports and tactical markets for high quality and innovative products,” said Derrick Nawrocki, President of Grand View Outdoors, the publisher of Tactical Retailer. “Those same efforts continue to pay off today and this Gold Award is simply more proof. Well done.”

Blackhawk continues to introduce category leading products in both vests and backpacks. Most recently, the brand introduced the Foundation Series Tac Nylon, which features plate carriers and chest rigs, all of which are built with modular capabilities, stronger construction, and lighter weight than typical ballistic nylon gear found on the market. The new Foundation Series along with other items like the Stingray EDC Pack, provide both working professionals and serious users with high quality gear ready for any mission.

About Blackhawk

In 1990, a Navy SEAL was navigating a minefield when his pack failed. As his gear tumbled to the ground, he vowed that if he got out of there alive he would make gear the right way. Today, this obsession with quality applies to everything we do. We’re constantly researching, refining and perfecting every detail to provide gear that won’t let you down. Because we’re not just making stuff – we’re honoring a vow.

Hoppe’s Wins Two Gold Choice Awards for Best Gun Cleaning Products

Tactical Retailer and Shooting Sports Retailer Name Hoppe’s Top Choice

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 20, 2022 – Hoppe’s, the No.1 name in gun care products, has won two Gold Awards in the Gun Cleaning Products category from the Shooting Sports Retailer and Tactical Retailer Readers’ Choice Awards.

Shooting Sports Retailer and Tactical Retailer have been two of the industry’s longest-standing B2B publications. These annual awards give a voice to the publication’s knowledgeable and experienced readers and allow them to share what brands they think are the best in the industry.

“In the gun cleaning products market two things are certainly true. The Gold standard is the Hoppe’s brand and the unforgettable fragrance that comes with the famous gun oil is known by every serious gun enthusiast,” said Derrick Nawrocki, President of Grand View Outdoors, the publisher of Shooting Sports Retailer and Tactical Retailer. “Now two years in a row, Hoppe’s has swept the Gold award in both publications which, by no understatement, is quite an impressive feat.”

Hoppe’s has long been synonymous with high quality gun care products and since its inception it has been the most trusted name in gun care products. From the ever-popular and versatile Hoppe’s No. 9 Bore Cleaner to the quick and easy BoreSnake, Hoppe’s has been the preferred choice of shooters, hunters and soldiers for decades.

Voting for this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards was conducted via an online submission system. Thousands of ballots were submitted by readers for various product categories and brands. The votes were then tallied to determine the Readers’ Choice winners. These awards are used by countless sportsmen and women to get an inside look into the best brands to consider when gearing up for their favorite activity.

About Hoppe’s

In 1903, Frank August Hoppe mixed nine chemicals and created the world’s most effective gun cleaner. As a well-trained young soldier, Frank knew that gun care went far beyond just a clean rifle, but actually helped to ensure his safety while on the front lines of battle. Since that time, Hoppe’s has emerged as the leading gun care company, having grown along-side hunters, shooters and soldiers who depend on their firearms every day. It has remained the most trusted name in gun care by advancing and evolving technologies to meet those needs. From the ever popular and versatile No. 9 and the quick and easy BoreSnake, to the marvel of efficiency we call Gun Medic, Hoppe’s is the only name you need to know for firearm cleaning and protection.

LISTEN, LEARN, & PREVAIL

Posted on Friday, 21 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

LISTEN ON AUDIBLE.

I’m excited to share that the audio version of my new book, UNAFRAID: Staring Down Terror as a Navy SEAL and Single Dad is now available anywhere audio books are sold.

My name is Eddie Penney. I spent two decades in the United States military, first as a Marine Infantryman and later as a Tier One Navy SEAL. After growing up on a steady diet of 1980s action movies, my childhood dream of kicking down doors and shooting bad guys in the face actually came true. I had the privilege of hunting down the enemies of this nation in Afghanistan, East Africa and Iraq, sending them to hell with extreme prejudice.

I’ve been through intense combat and have passed the most strenuous selections and training events in the world, but nothing prepared me for the challenge of becoming a single father in the midst of my SEAL career or dealing with the emotional struggles that followed.

More than two years ago I teamed up with my friend Keith Wood (New York Times Bestselling writer and Guns & Ammo Field Editor) The result is UNAFRAID: Staring Down Terror as a Navy SEAL and Single Dad—a no holds barred account of close combat in the War on Terror and the challenges that followed me home.

In this book we don’t sugar coat the violent realities of combat, and we don’t shy away from showing you the immense challenges after the fight. If you want to know what it’s REALLY like to live at the tip of the spear, this is the book for you.

UNAFRAID is a tale of achievement, challenge, failure and redemption. We believe strongly that this story will help other men and women, struggling veterans -their families and their friends or anyone else who is holding out hope that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Like many of you, the chaos of life makes it difficult to sit down and read. We aren’t alone, which is why audio books have become so popular. It was important to me that the audio version was as authentic and real as possible, so I decided to narrate it myself. Sure, I get emotional at times but that’s real life. If you want to check it out, you can order below.

I’ve been humbled by the support and feedback I’ve received on this book so far– I hope that you enjoy it as well.

Be Safe,

Eddie

Where Are You Going When Your Time Comes ?

Posted on Friday, 21 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

I hope you’ve all had a productive week and surviving these trying times. Regular readers know I like the Sugar Free Klondike Bars, but as much as I enjoy them, I’m hesitant to pay nearly six bucks for a sixpack; making matters worse gas is now pushing five bucks a gallon. You’re undoubtedly feeling the same impacts unless you’re an elected official in which case you’ve been on the dole for a while. So, it may be a good time to have a shoot the shit, but before we get that started let me bend your ear about the upcoming election.

If you’re in Texas, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee you’ve undoubtedly seen an increase in the number of California, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut plates, these are people fleeing high taxes, high cost of living, high crime and looking for a better life. If you have a chance to meet and speak with them you’ll be bewildered to find out that they will continue to vote the same way . A reader experiencing what I’ve just described sent me this TikTok video; it’s hilarious but reinforces what Albert Einstein said years ago: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Keep in mind that the states I’ve identified also have the highest per capita psychologists in the country.

Readers new to the site may not be familiar with a shoot the shit so I’ll explain. A shoot the shit is a social interaction during which any topic can be discussed. The participants don’t need to know anything about the subject, are free to make any unsupported comment, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject. Regularly scheduled shoot the shits offer greater efficacy than paying a jackass who majored in psychology so they could understand themselves $150+ per hour. So, let’s get started, for this shoot the shit I’ll present the very delicate topic of female sexuality and gratification.

Over the years, women have been treated like chattel, much of which came from the Roman Catholic Church who’s early period philosophy suggested that women experiencing sexual gratification were committing mortal sin and destined to spend all eternity in hell; leading to chastity belts and other abuses. However, if she confessed her sins, upon passing she would make it to Purgatory where she would spend thousands of years being purified and could then enter Heaven. Her duration in Purgatory could be shortened by offering indulgences, which in some cases included gifting property and/or services to the clergy.

Down Arrow transparent PNG - StickPNG

For centuries, women could not and would not express their needs and desires without being looked upon with askance. Even during the hippie periods when it was virtually impossible to take a walk in Golden Gate Park without stepping on someone having sex, there was no openness, and existed an irrational suppression of female sexuality. It wasn’t until Playboy Magazine and Penthouse that a women’s secrets were exposed; leading to female sexuality psychology with interesting theories and suggestion to help women reach gratification.

In an interesting article authored by Bella Dally-Steele / I Can Masturbate, No Hands: On Innovative Masturbation and the Power of Friendship, the author points to research conducted in 1976 and published in the Hite Report suggesting that at least 3 percent of the women interviewed for the study reported masturbating by pressing their legs together. This is consistent with some of Playboys’ pieces suggesting that women sitting with their legs crossed while swinging the lower leg were achieving gratification, be it at a business meeting or in a casual setting.

In her article the author also introduces Maddy, a friend, commenting on her means of achieving gratification…

“Maddy rewrote the definition of “orgasm,” too. She could climax within 20 seconds of clenching her legs together while laying on her stomach or sitting with her legs crossed (a skill I deeply envy) “

Until recently these types of discussions could not be had openly. I went the better part of my life thinking that women tightly crossing their legs was lady like and a sign of proper upbringing, little did I know.

The following video was produced by sexologist Dr. Lindsey Doe and presents some interesting material, in a non-clinical manner.

I hope you’ve found this shoot the shit informative and enjoyable. Have a great weekend and schedule your own shoot the shit. Remember that November 8 is election day so vote and get a friend to vote.

CZ-USA Competition Pistols Give Shooters the Competitive Advantage

Posted on Thursday, 20 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Kansas City, KS (October 19, 2022) – CZ pistols are no stranger to the podium, and two competition guns consistently rise to the top. CZ’s Shadow 2 Orange and TS 2 are top-shelf match-grade pistols, boasting enhanced ergonomics, exceptional accuracy, and impeccable performance, and both are top picks among elite shooters.

CZ Shadow 2 Orange dominates the USPSA Production Division. Its hand-fitted slide and frame feature a barrel bushing that increases slide-to-barrel fit, resulting in tighter groups. Combined with the double/single action pistol’s factory-tuned trigger, the CZ Shadow 2 Orange is one of the range’s most accurate contenders.

The Shadow 2 Orange stands apart from the standard pistols, saving the shooter precious time when seconds count. It wears a set of signature orange grips with matching magazine bases and a mag-release button. The Shadow 2’s swappable mag release includes an adjustable, extended button with three settings allowing shooters to set it in the most comfortable spot.

A hardy nitride finish coats the entire pistol, while the frame gets a layer of durable black polycoat. Its thin aluminum grips have deep checkering that matches the pistol’s front and backstrap lines. Sitting atop the slide is a set of target sights—fiber optic on the front and a black, serrated HAJO rear for ultra-fast target acquisition in difficult lighting conditions. The Shadow 2 Orange is available in the ubiquitous 9mm cartridge.

CZ TS 2 is best known for its crisp single-action trigger and long sight radius – the hallmark of an accurate pistol. The second-generation CZ Tactical Sport mimics the slide profile of the Shadow 2. A redesigned frame improves ergonomics while raising the grip hand’s position, a design that reduces muzzle flip for faster follow-up shots.

Front and rear cocking serrations make slide manipulation easy, and a set of fixed target sights with a fiber optic front and black serrated rear are robust enough to withstand the rigors of competition. The TS 2’s sporty blue aluminum grips dress up the pistol while aggressive checkering improves pistol control in all conditions. Shooters will love the pistol’s generous magwell for fast reloads.

Three models let shooters choose the best pistol for their sport. The popular 9mm Luger models, available as a 20-round or low-capacity 10-round version, are an excellent choice for many. The 40 S&W’s major power factor provides a competitive edge for shooters playing the numbers game. The TS 2 accepts various custom parts already available for the Tactical Sports platform.

This next-generation shotgun is available in either 12 ga or .410 cal and is offered in either black or FDE Cerakote. Using the same gas-piston system as the other VTS shotguns, the BTS Bullpup is slender, with smaller dimensions, thus it is more agile to and at the shoulder. Great for close-quarter action.

The tough polymer lower receiver also doubles as the forend grip, with soft rubber inlays for improved handling. The synthetic barrel cover features Hatsan’s patented ThermoDefend technology that absorbs and dissipates heat while containing the gas operating system. A DuraDefend magazine well, lined with alloy, enhances the durability against extended use.

Recoil control is distributed between a soft rubber buttpad and a long recoil spring. The reversible charging handle offers the ability for ambidextrous operation. The soft rubber pistol grip is removable and can be exchanged for one of many currently available aftermarket options to suit the individual user. The one-piece carry handle sight can be replaced with the included flip-up sights for a lower profile or when using mounted optics. Picatinny rails are also located on either side of the forend to accommodate a variety of accessories.

The 12-gauge models feature an 18” barrel with removable chokes, including an extended cylinder bore choke brake that helps tame recoil with heavy shots or slugs. Also included are full and improved cylinder flush-mount chokes, with additional options available from HatsanUSA. Each gun ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional 2-round magazine is also available. The gun is chambered to accept 2¾” and 3” shells and will cycle them interchangeably with no external adjustments required by the shooter.

The .410 models feature a 20” barrel with a fixed cylinder choke, suitable for both shots and slugs. This shotgun is one smooth operator, offering the same recoil-absorbing characteristics as the larger caliber models. The BTS ships with two 5-round magazines but there is also an optional low-capacity mag that holds three shells. The gas operation performs similarly, both standard and magnum loads cycle smoothly and reliably with no external adjustments required.

As with all ESCORT shotguns, the barrels are proof tested at the factory to ensure quality and durability. The hard chrome and/or Cerakote coatings look great and are built to withstand the harshest conditions. HatsanUSA offers a 5-year limited warranty with all ESCORT firearms.

Sauer Introduces SL5 Waterfowl Shotguns

Posted on Thursday, 20 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Sauer Introduces SL5 Waterfowl Shotguns

San Antonio, Texas (October 19, 2022) – J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Germany’s oldest manufacturer of hunting firearms, is pleased to introduce the new line of SL5 Waterfowl shotguns. Available in three models – Fred Bear Old School Camo, Fred Bear Old School Camo stock and forearm with brown Cerakote barrel and action, and Black Synthetic – these 12-gauge, semi-auto shotguns are rugged, reliable, and accurate in the most extreme hunting conditions. All are available in 3.5” models, which can accommodate 2 ¾”, 3” or 3.5” shotshells. Capacity is 3+1. The Black Synthetic model is also available in a 3” chambering.

Inertia-driven like the SL5 Turkey gun, the smooth-cycling SL5 Waterfowl shotgun requires fewer parts than a gas-driven gun and minimal cleaning – ideal traits for a duck and goose gun that is exposed to the elements. All SL5 3.5” models have an oversized extended bolt handle and release button making it easy to work with gloves on in frigid temperatures and are available in three barrel lengths – 26-inch, 28-inch, or 30-inch. The barrels are chrome lined with a stepped rib for precise alignment. The receiver is made with a steel upper for strength and durability, and the lower is aluminum for improved balance and reduced weight.

“We are excited to introduce these new, high-performance SL5 Waterfowl shotguns,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “They are designed to withstand the brutal elements waterfowl hunters experience throughout the season, year after year, and the Fred Bear Old School Camo pattern is a true classic that is popular with many hunters of all ages. We’ve had a lot of requests for this pattern and are happy to finally meet the demand.”

All SL5 Waterfowl shotguns feature sling attachments, a Cervellati recoil pad, rubber comb, and a red single-bead LPA front fiber-optic sight for fast and accurate target acquisition.

Made in Italy and backed by a 10-year factory warranty, the SL5 Waterfowl shotguns weigh 7.5 lbs and come standard with five Benelli™ Crio Plus-style extended choke tubes – Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full.

MSRP:

Black Synthetic $1,579.00
Fred Bear Old School Camo $1,679.00
Fred Bear Old School Camo / Brown Cerakote $1,779.00

You name it: backpacks, fishing sling packs, hiking equipment, belt loops, camping gears, running belts and pouches!

The Backpacker has combined this handy keyring feature with the excellent writability that characterizes all Fisher Space pens. It writes in zero gravity, underwater, in the rain, at harsh temperatures ranging from 30 below zero to 250 degrees F and at any angles, even upside down. You can attach the Backpacker Pen anywhere you need it, bring it wherever you go, and write with it everywhere you want. Now all you need to do is to embark on adventures with your small but beyond-competent sidekick.

These pens are the perfect tool for trade professionals, first responders, military, rugged outdoor enthusiasts, trekkers, backpackers, industrial manufacturers, underwater divers and anyone who values a pen that doesn’t fail.

The US Marine Corps successfully completed a series of interception tests of an air defense system incorporating RAFAEL’s TAMIR IRON DOME interceptor

Posted on Thursday, 20 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

The US Marine Corps successfully completed a series of interception tests of an air defense system incorporating RAFAEL’s TAMIR IRON DOME interceptor

October 19th 2022 – The latest live fire test culminates a series of three trials carried out over the past year, and for the third time the system successfully intercepted a wide variety of targets. In this latest test, the ability to continuously launch TAMIR IRON DOME interceptors from a mobile launcher developed by the Marines was also tested.

The series of tests were conducted by the Marines at the White Sands facility in New Mexico as part of the development program to test a new prototype system for Medium Range Intercept Capability (MRIC – Medium Range Intercept Capability).

“The three tests that took place this year proved that the performance of the MRIC system with IRON DOME interceptors is good and provides a dedicated launcher solution for the Marines,” said Don Kelly, Project Manager in the Air Defense Department (GBAD) of the Marine Corps’ Land Directorate (PEO Land Systems) at the end of the test.

Executive Vice President and Head of the Air and Missile Defense Directorate at RAFAEL Brigadier General (Ret.) Pini Yungman: “Once again, RAFAEL’s systems have proven that they are able to integrate into existing systems and create synergy between systems, providing optimal performance. RAFAEL’s advanced systems are developed with an “open architecture” allowing seamless integration with other systems. In the latest test conducted by the Marines, a successful combination of the TAMIR interceptor launched from a new launcher developed under the leadership of the Marines, combined with the Marines’ radar system and the battle management system, which are systems developed by American industries, was demonstrated.

Show Off Your MSR Hunting Photos to be Entered for Hunting Trip

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is helping hunters to reject gun control’s accusations that Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) aren’t meant for hunting. Nothing could be further from the truth. Today’s hunters have plenty of options when it comes to hunting, and MSRs fit right in.

Now, NSSF has teamed up with The Confluence Group for hunters to proudly show off their 2022 hunting season photos with AR-platform rifles and be entered for a chance to win a Mississippi Deer or Louisiana Hog Hunt.

Entering is easy as sharing.

2. Post the photo to Instagram including #LetsGoHunting in the caption.

3. Submissions are reviewed to ensure they meet requirements.

4. @letsgohuntingusa may reach out via Instagram to request permission to share the photo on its pages.

MSRs & Hunting

Hunters have been using the latest advancements in technology and tactics for centuries. Today’s hunters have a wide array of tools to choose from when it comes to firearms, concealment, lures (decoys, calls, scents, etc.) and scouting. MSRs, today’s very popular semiautomatic rifle designs, are used by more and more hunters and offer a number of benefits that can suit most hunters. The rifles’ accuracy, reliability, ruggedness and versatility serve hunters well. They are true all-weather firearms and their modularity often allows them to be configured for various applications and body types.

For hunting, these commonly-owned rifles are used for many different types of hunting, from varmint to big game. Today’s MSRs are chambered in nearly all calibers, including those popular with large game like the .243 Winchester, the 6.5 Creedmoor, the venerable .30-06 Springfield and .338 Winchester Short Magnum. The NSSF encourages hunters to share memorable moments from the field when using MSRs through its #LetsGoHunting with MSRs Photo Challenge. There are many photo styles that can be submitted including selfies, trophy photos, group photos and firearms in the field.

MSRs are semiautomatic rifle designs, including the AR-15, AR-10, carbines and similar variants. We challenge you to share a snapshot or video from the field while using your MSR for a chance to win a Mississippi deer or Louisiana hog hunt.

Alien Gear Holsters Partner with ASP Supporting Free Police Training

Posted on Wednesday, 19 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Alien Gear Holsters Rapid Force holsters were presented to ASP’s training team at the recent ASP International Trainer Certification (ATC) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Alien Gear Holsters® Partner with ASP Supporting Free Police Training

Alien Gear Holsters® Rapid Force™ holsters were presented to ASP’s training team at the recent ASP International Trainer Certification (ATC) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Post Falls, Idaho (October 2022) – Alien Gear Holsters®, designers and manufacturers of American-made holsters and firearms accessories, and the Rapid Force™ line of Level 2 and Level 3 Duty Holsters, announce law enforcement trainers from Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP) are now outfitted with Alien Gear Holster’s latest duty holsters. The collaboration kicked off with Alien Gear executives presenting the company’s Rapid Force holsters to the training team at ASP’s recent International Trainer Certification (ATC) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

ASP’s trainers travel around the world teaching the company’s sought-after integrated baton, handcuff, and tactical light instructor courses. What makes the ASP program unique is that it is provided to qualified officers and agencies completely tuition-free. And this, according to Alien Gear, is what got the holster company’s attention.

“We are passionate about officer safety and about never letting money be an obstacle to getting the best possible training,” said Alien Gear COO Sandi Little. She continued by saying Alien Gear has a similar free training program for police departments looking to adopt their level 3 retention holsters.

ASP Vice President of Sales, Daryell Harmon, said that ASP has strict safety rules, including a requirement that duty weapons be replaced with the company’s well-known inert Red Guns in the training environment. “Our Trainers appreciate great equipment,” Harmon remarked, “so we approached Alien Gear to see if they might want to work with us to put the safest, most advanced holsters on our duty belts.”

Alien Gear was immediately receptive to the idea, both because they shared ASP’s training and safety philosophy, and because they appreciated the value of having ASP’s trainers in front of thousands and thousands of officers each year. “The exposure is great, though this is really not about sales,” says Little. “It’s about two friendly, like-minded companies sharing a mission of taking care of our law enforcement officers.”

“Increasingly, we are receiving more requests from agencies across the country to purchase our Rapid Force duty holsters. Working with law enforcement trainers, such as our partnership with ASP, allows police officers in training to see and feel the superior performance and security our holsters provide,” Joe Lienemann, Alien Gear Holsters’ Director of Law Enforcement Sales, explained. “As a law enforcement officer, myself, the simplicity and security of the Rapid Force duty holster line provides peace of mind knowing that your duty holster will perform as required.”

The Rapid Force Duty Holster is designed specifically for law enforcement and military professionals. The revolutionary retention mechanism was engineered to provide the highest level of security while maintaining an incredibly fast and fluid draw. Alien Gear Holsters’ patented Gross Motor Response (GMR™) retention control system allows the user to draw consistently with a perfect grip, even under stress. The Rapid Force Duty Holster has been thoroughly tested in extreme environments and under extreme conditions so that it has been referred to as a “tank” of a holster, able to withstand anything thrown at it. The Rapid Force Duty Holster is available in four configurations: Belt Slide, Paddle, MOLLE, and Drop Leg.

Revision’s New I-Vis Technology Revolutionizes Ballistic Eyewear

Posted on Wednesday, 19 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Revision’s New I-Vis Technology Revolutionizes Ballistic Eyewear

ESSEX JUNCTION, VERMONT (October 18, 2022) – Revision Military, manufacturer of military, first responder, and civilian protective eyewear, presents I-Vis™ lens technology. The new line of I-Vis eye pro now sets the standard for color enhanced ballistic eye protection.

Improved visual performance. Combat-proven protection.

What is I-Vis?

We’ll explain.

I-Vis is an advanced dye formulation process resulting in a new series of lens tints that markedly enhance visual performance while providing state-of-the-art ballistic eye protection.

Traditional, monochromatic lens tints that enhance contrast do so by imparting a color cast that significantly reduces color accuracy and causes eye fatigue. This is why color-critical users resort to basic smoke-tinted lenses that offer no performance benefit, aside from light reduction.

Conversely, tints developed using I-Vis technology are color-neutral and provide enhanced color accuracy, reduced eye fatigue, increased depth perception, and greater visual detail.

“Our new I-Vis technology provides wearers of ballistic eye protection the most accurate view of the world around them. I-Vis lenses increase the separation of colors so that when you’re wearing them, you’ll see multiple shades of a color compared to the single shade you’d see with the naked eye or when using traditional lens tints,” says Revision CEO Amy Coyne. “The result is greater awareness and faster reaction times. In a military setting, this translates into greater survivability and lethality.”

I-Vis complements Revision’s industry-leading OcuMax® lens coating that provides an optimal combination of anti-scratch coating on the outside of the lens and anti-fog coatings on the inside. OcuMax provides more than 10 times the level of anti-fog protection offered by competing products.

I-Vis Suite of Environment-Tuned Lenses

More than a single solution, I-Vis lenses are available in six tints, each optimized for use in a different environment. With the power of artificial intelligence, Revision accounted for theater-specific color vision variables that take into account the color palette of locations while modeling the most likely lighting conditions to occur in that area using global data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The result is a suite of lenses, each providing the best observational experience for a given environment without compromise. The suite features mil-spec eye protection with separate tints optimized for key areas of military operation around the globe. Each tint is designed to increase contrast and elevate color recognition in specific geographic regions, doing so without the negative effects associated with traditional monochromatic lens tints.

Verso: Our most technically complex lens designed to thrive in the widest range of environments and settings. This lens excels at separating colors, expanding the volume of color visible to the wearer in many environments. If you’re unsure of the mission profile, this is the lens to use. (VLT: 19%*)

Aros: Enhances colors found in typical desert environments. It brings out differences between similar shades of brown, tan, yellow, and orange colors while making man-made structures and objects stand out. (VLT: 12%*)

Cano: Modeled to provide color definition in an environment dominated by greens, browns, and grays. Visual light transmission is maximized for this lens since operations will be conducted in densely forested areas where the canopy heavily shades the terrain. Man-made structures will stand out, as will differences in the foreground landscape. (VLT: 37%*)

Alto: Suited to dry, high-altitude environments dominated by grays, tans, and blues such as those found in northern Afghanistan. This lens brings out differences in prevalent landscape colors to help troops read terrain and notice man-made structures, roads, and people. (VLT: 12%*)

Clara: Brings out color definition and contrast in brightly lit areas of white, gray, and blue found in snowy wooded areas, rocks, and mountains. It is modeled for use in northern Europe, Scandinavia, and the Baltics, and Poland. This lens will help the wearer better see the undulations of snowpack, identify recently covered tracks, estimate distances, and makes man-made structures, vehicles, and people stand out. (VLT: 12%*)

Umbra: Designed to bring out color contrast in overcast, snow-covered scenes that are dominated by whites and grays found in snowy wooded areas, rocks, and mountains. It is modeled for use in northern Europe, Scandinavia, the Baltics, and Poland. This lens will help the wearer better see the undulations of snowpack, identify recently covered tracks, estimate distances, and makes man-made structures, vehicles, and people stand out. (VLT: 48%*)

*VLT may vary +/- 5% based upon eyewear form factor, lens thickness and coatings.

I-Vis technology is currently available in Revision’s StingerHawk® and SnowHawk® ballistic eyewear. Individuals and agencies can order individual StingerHawk spectacles and lenses in each I-Vis lens tint, and individual SnowHawk kit and lenses in the two I-Vis lens tints tailored for snowy environments, Clara and Umbra.

Suite of I-Vis Lenses

Above: Each of the six I-Vis lenses provide the best observational experience for a given environment without compromise. All I-Vis lenses are available in StingerHawk spectacles and SnowHawk goggles.

Difference with Verso I-Vis Lens

Above: On the left shows the landscape as seen with a naked eye. The image on the right shows the same landscape with the new I-Vis Verso lens.

Skills4Life provides hunting opportunities for our nation’s Heroes-Maine Moose Hunt and La Fonda Ranch Dove Hunt

Posted on Wednesday, 19 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Skills4Life Provides Hunting Opportunities for our Nation’s Heroes-Maine Moose Hunt and La Fonda Ranch Dove Hunt

San Antonio, TX (October 18, 2022) Skills4Life is one of the core programs provided by Military Warriors Support Foundation. The goal is to deliver activities for combat-wounded heroes and Gold Star families. Their participation provides a chance to connect with other heroes and become involved in peer mentorship, the backbone of Skills4Life. The events range from golf outings, hunting, fishing, sporting, and family-oriented activities. Recently Skills4Life held two fantastic events. A Maine Moose Hunt was held on September 12th-19th, and on September 22nd-25th, combat-wounded veterans had the opportunity to participate in a dove hunt.

The 2022 Maine Moose Hunt was another amazing event for our nation’s Heroes. Everyone at Smoldering Lake Outfitters was top-notch, the food was excellent and the staff went above and beyond to make our Heroes feel welcomed.

During the hunt, Heroes were guided by some of Maine’s finest game wardens from across the state. This particular hunt is a depredation hunt to keep the moose out of the broccoli crops that are harvested fresh daily. The program has proven to be effective, and Skills4Life was privileged to support the local farmers.

Two of the four Heroes were able to fill their tags. Joe Guerrero got a young bull on the first evening hunt at sunset. Joe tagged the moose and sent it to the processor. Hero Brian Bentley filled his tag on a monster bull two mornings later! The biggest they had seen in the area in quite a while. Unfortunately, not all of the Heroes in attendance could get their sights on a moose. It was no surprise when the Heroes, who were lucky enough to tag out, shared their moose meat with the others. In the end, each Hero brought home plenty of meat to fill their freezers.

Also, this year, Skills4Life was honored to return to the La Fonda Ranch from September 22-25th. Sysco was generous and donated all the food for the hunt, so our Heroes had great meals! There’s always plenty to do there, from fishing in the pond, shooting at the range or hunting dove in the fields. Every Hero had an awesome time with plenty of birds flying; they were able to limit out every day. They even received some lessons in long-range shooting. As always, Skills4Life is already looking forward to going back next year.

La Fonda Ranch is a playground for the outdoorsman. All of the Heroes and other veterans joined in on the camaraderie. The facilities are top notch with beautifully decorated rooms and lodge. If you’ve been there once, you’ll want to go back.

Military Warriors Support Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity founded by LTG Leroy Sisco (Ret) in 2007. its mission is to provide programs that facilitate a smooth and successful transition for our nation’s combat-wounded heroes and Gold Star families. Their programs focus on housing and homeownership, recreational activities, transportation assistance and leadership development. Through their programs, they have awarded nearly 900 mortgage-free homes and 100 payment-free vehicles to combat-wounded heroes, Gold Star spouses and their families in all 50 states. In addition to the home or vehicle, the families receive family and financial mentoring.

Hatsan’s Highly Customizable Competition PCP Rifle – Factor RC

Posted on Wednesday, 19 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hatsan’s Highly Customizable Competition PCP Rifle – Factor RC

Rogers, AR (October 18, 2022) – HatsanUSA has brought a new highly-customizable competition PCP air rifle to the US market – the Factor RC. Available in .177, .22, and .25 calibers, it can be fine-tuned and tailored to various competitions and shooting styles. Among its many features is the ability to accept commercially available pistol grips and buttstocks made for modern sporting rifles and has a reversible cocking lever for ambidextrous operation.

You’ll find that the ergonomic pistol grip is covered in soft, durable rubber and is textured to provide maximum grip and control. The 5-position telescoping buttstock also features an elevation adjustable cheek rest that can be moved in 5mm increments up to 40mm tall or removed for low-profile optics. Hatsan’s famous fully adjustable Quattro Trigger includes a trigger pad that can be moved vertically and rotated left or right for maximum precision and comfort.

The Factor RC’s power output is also highly adjustable, featuring an externally adjustable pressure regulator with its output pressure gauge. A power level knob, on one side of the receiver, controls the amount of air transferred into the barrel. On the other side, a hammer preload adjuster helps fine-tune power output and cocking effort. The Factor RC features a removable 580cc carbon fiber air tank and is also equipped with a Foster-style quick-disconnect fill inlet. In place of the normal fill nozzle, an extended quick-disconnect is included. An integrated color-coded manometer allows the system pressure to be easily monitored at-a-glance.

The 23-inch-long precision rifled and choked barrel will ensure accuracy, while Hatsan’s QuietEnergy technology, full-length barrel shroud, will reduce noise output. A standard ½” UNF threaded muzzle piece is included to allow a larger sound moderator or air stripper to be added without modifications. To round out the Factor RC’s features, 2 high-capacity SwingLoad magazines (that can be linked together to facilitate faster mag changes) and a single-shot tray for precision loading are included, a picatinny rail is installed beneath the forearm, along with a combination optic system that will accept picatinny, Weaver, and 11mm dovetail mounts.

All these features add another level of precision and consistency that can place over 100 shots on target from a single fill and come in a package that weighs less than 8 lbs. For ultimate power, performance, customization, and competition – the Factor RC is it!

We hope that our contribution, and those of other organizations and companies like RCR, will help to provide substantial aid to those most impacted.

New Master Series HL1000 and PL 500 from NEBO Lights

Posted on Wednesday, 19 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

New Master Series HL1000 and PL 500 from NEBO Lights

Ft. Worth, TX (October 18, 2022) – When there is a job to be done, the best way to do it can also be an easy way. This is the basis for the philosophy of “work smarter, not harder.”

But the folks at NEBO have found a way to do both with their new Master Series lighting series. Get the job done faster and easier with its line of LED-based lights.

Combining rugged construction, increased reliability and consistently bright LEDs, the Master Series provides tough lights for tough jobs at the worksite or a home project.

A big factor in making the Master Series an optimum lighting tool is its Optimized Power Curve, which efficiently utilizes battery power to provide a steadier and more consistent light beam.

That includes a new pair of lights for use in smaller spaces and even in situations that may require a “hands-free” source of illumination.

The HL1000 Headlamp and Task Light provide up to 1,000 lumens of brilliant, bright light and various hands-free lighting options. The HL1000 features five light modes, ranging from a 1,000-lumen turbo mode for 30 seconds of light reaching up to 138 meters and a 500-lumen Strobe mode. Rugged and rechargeable, it can be worn using an adjustable head strap, is 180-degree tilt adjustable and has a powerful magnetic base and detachable mount. The HL1000 is also waterproof and impact resistant.

Then there is the PL500, a powerful, pocket-sized 500-lumen penlight. It boasts five light modes, including a turbo mode that provides a 30-second blast of light with a 70-meter reach, along with a strobe setting. The PL500 is USB-C rechargeable and features a magnetic mode select dial, a 4x adjustable zoom, and a pocket clip for easy access.

Carry Your Gear, Not Odors

Posted on Wednesday, 19 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Carry Your Gear, Not Odors

The new ScentLok BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack is the most versatile storage toolkit a whitetail hunter can bring to the stand

MUSKEGON, Mich. (October 17, 2022) – Elite whitetail hunters understand that a buck’s nose is the single biggest threat to a successful harvest. That’s why they take every precaution against carrying potentially alarming odors into the field.

Celebrating 30 years of supporting hunters with proven deadly scent-control apparel and products backed by science, ScentLok never ceases in its investigation of new combinations of materials and technologies to create new products that deliver the ScentLok Advantage. Providing hunters with more opportunities for success by getting them closer to deer and other game is the small, Michigan company’s unwavering mission.

ScentLok expands it’s premier BE:1 (Bowhunter Elite) product lineup with the BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack. Available right now, it’s the most versatile storage toolkit a whitetail hunter can bring to the stand.

Overlooked in many whitetail hunters’ scent-control regimens, backpacks are notorious scent bombs, often carrying bacterial and ambient odors on their fabrics or on the key accessories and other essentials carried inside. The BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack combats such hunt-ruining threats with a Carbon AlloyTM lining to adsorb and lock away odors from the gear placed inside.

Critical scent-control capabilities aside, the BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack is designed and executed to be the ultimate stand pack for bowhunters. Featuring 17 specialized pockets with 2,574 total cubic inches of storage space, this extremely versatile and right-sized pack affords unequaled customization and utility with respect to storing and accessing gear. That means hunters will find exactly the right place to store whatever they need to bring to the stand – securely and efficiently.

An example of this optimized efficiency is the Grinder’s large, side-access pocket that provides secondary access to the pack’s main compartment, giving treestand hunters another way to access their critical gear inside. Say a shooter buck appears in an unexpected location and you realize you’ve left your rangefinder inside the pack, which is hanging on the tree next to you at shoulder level. Instead of standing up or reaching up to unzip the main compartment from the top – both options requiring significant movement – you remain seated while using a single hand to quickly and efficiently retrieve the required tool from the bag’s main compartment.

Engineered for comfort, stealth, and longevity, the BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack is constructed from a durable and extremely quiet high-count tricot polyester fabric. Breathable shoulder straps and back pads combine with four-way adjustability to create a comfortable fit on any hunter and under any load. A hidden rain fly can be quickly deployed to protect the pack and its contents from precipitation. Once at the stand, a durable thermoplastic handle allows the pack to be hung with confidence.

ScentLok BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack Features

Carbon Alloy™ technology for maximum odor adsorption & scent control
Stow-away mesh cover for packing added gear
High count tricot polyester fabric delivers ultimate durability & quietness
Hidden rain fly cover offers full protection from the elements
17 specialized pockets with 2,574 cubic inches of storage space
Large Side-Access Pocket for easy access to main compartment
Durable thermoplastic handle: Crucial for hanging in the stand
Dimensions: 22″H x 14″W x 9″D
Comes in: Mossy Oak Terra Gila (225), and Realtree Excape (223)
Item No: 4140864
MSRP: $189.99

A pack is a necessity for even the lightest-travelling hunter. But all packs are not created equal. The all-new ScentLok BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack delivers all the utility a stand hunter needs with the proven-deadly advantages of Carbon Alloy odor-adsorbing technology so they can sit longer and get closer. It’s available now at ScentLok dealers worldwide and online at scentlok.com.

GA-ASI and US Army Flight Test Open Architecture Ground Control Software on Gray Eagle Extended Range

Posted on Wednesday, 19 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

GA-ASI AND US ARMY FLIGHT TEST OPEN ARCHITECTURE GROUND CONTROL
SOFTWARE ON GRAY EAGLE EXTENDED RANGE

SAN DIEGO – 18 October 2022 – U.S. Army Unmanned Aircraft System Project Office and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) successfully performed the first flight test of a new U.S. Army Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) ground segment for the MQ-1C Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The test took place at Ft. Stewart, Ga. in coordination with Product Manager Endurance Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PdM EUAS) and the B Co, 224th were part of the U.S. Army-funded development efforts to upgrade and modernize the GE-ER.

GA-ASI successfully flight tested the new Ground Modernization Software Suite (GMSS) that was hosted on an Army prototype of a Gray Eagle Miniature Mission Interface (GEMMI) on Sept. 27, 2022. The flight test demonstrated the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE), a multi-vendor suite that commands the automated takeoff and landing, flight modes and sensor control of the GE-ER. GA-ASI provided major software components, or Units of Portability (UoPs), to enable robust, safe aircraft control and performed system integration of the overall software suite. This achievement represents a huge step forward for the Army’s MOSA efforts by demonstrating the technical maturity of Open Architecture (OA) software to be able to control UAS with adherence to the Army’s Scalable Control Interface (SCI) System Architecture.

This event enabled critical risk reduction for the Gray Eagle 25M UAS, which integrates new advanced datalinks, OA avionics suite, updated communications equipment, and new HFE 2.0 engine with Brushless Generator capabilities onto the GE-ER with GMSS as the new control segment. GMSS will be used for all aspects of GE-25M UAS flight testing beginning in 2023. GE-25M UAS is designed for Multi-Domain Operations with its OA avionics suite and future capabilities, which will include Air-Launched Effects (ALE), advanced teaming, and new sensor modalities.

“GA-ASI, in partnership with the PdM EUAS and third-party vendors, is at the forefront of demonstrating the technical maturity of Army’s MOSA vision,” said GA-ASI Vice President of Army Programs Don Cattell. “GE-25M showcases the Army MOSA Transformation Office-led paradigm shift in how business is done to enable high reuse and portability of capability development across the Army enterprise.”

True Knives Takes to the Water With the Swift Edge Fillet Kit

Posted on Tuesday, 18 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

True Knives Takes to the Water With the Swift Edge Fillet Kit

Fort Worth, Texas (October 17, 2022) – Few things are more frustrating than trying to fillet a fish with a dull or rusty knife. Not only is it incredibly dangerous, but it can also lead to consequences through infection or damage. It is simply more practical and safer to use a sharp cutting blade that results in predictable cuts. In a tackle box, knives do not stay rust-free for very long.

It is hard to deny the usefulness of a knife that can be used for utility and general purposes. The ability to change the fillet blade in two simple steps is even more useful. For this reason, True brings the Swift Edge Fish Fillet Kit to the North American market.

The 6-piece kit features a handle, three fillet blades, a molded sheath, and a soft storage case. The knife handle is made from thermoplastic rubber and larger in diameter than previous Swift Edge counterparts. The handle also houses a lanyard/carabiner mount on the rear. This design and material are more useful in wet and slippery environments as it provides a better gripping surface.

Pre-installed is a 7-½ inch fillet blade. The kit also includes 6-inch and 9-½-inch fillet blades. Despite being a fillet-specific kit, the handle also accepts blades from the True Hunt Processing Kit. All blades can quickly be changed by moving the toggle lock on the back of the handle and depressing the release tab. All blades are 5Cr13 steel with a titanium nitrate coating for extra durability and hardness.

Housing the knife safely is a molded sheath. On the top of the sheath is an integrated sharpening sod for easy use and quick honing. An integrated belt sheath makes it easy to carry safely. The sheath is compatible with the 6-inch and 7-½-inch blades only. When not in use, a nylon storage wrap holds all of the contents securely, so they can be placed in a larger kit or box when necessary.

True Knives Takes on Game with the Swift Edge Hunt Processing Kit

Posted on Tuesday, 18 October, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

True Knives Takes on Game with the Swift Edge Hunt Processing Kit

Fort Worth, Texas (October 17, 2022) – Game Processing kits are as varied as they are extensive. For many hunters, packing both light and minimally is essential to success. This is especially true when needing to break down game in the field, which will be carried back to hunt camp.

One essential set of tools is a processing kit. These kits have everything needed for gutting, cutting, and sawing through a recently harvested deer, moose, antelope, or similar game. But these kits have many separate tools taking up vital space. True Knives aims to solve that issue with the Swift Edge Game Processing Kit.

An entire Swift Edge Hunt Processing Kit comprises seven essential tools utilizing the quick-change Swift Edge system. There is a 4-inch gut hook, 6-inch fillet blade, 8-inch butcher blade, and 8-inch bone saw. All these independent blades fit into the Swift Edge thermoplastic rubberized handle designed for use in wet environments that require an unwavering grip. The hook, fillet and butcher knives are made from 5Cr13 steel finished in a titanium nitrate coating. The bone saw is made from 65Mn steel for additional hardness and wear resistance, while still being finished in titanium nitrate.

As with all Swift Edge knives, the blades can be changed with the patented 2-step process. This includes toggling the switch on the rear of the handle and depressing the blade release. To install, insert the new blade until the release snaps into place. The handle is also compatible with all the Fillet Kit lengths. The handle has an integrated lanyard and carabiner loop.

A molded plastic sheath is included with the 6-inch fillet blade. In addition to a molded plastic clip, a sharpening rod is incorporated into the design. Every item can be stored in an included nylon storage wrap. This reduces both the size of the items and the locations each tool can be stored.

It is easy to see why a versatile and compact kit is essential for a hunter. The entire Hunt Processing Kit saves space by utilizing the Swift Edge system. The nylon storage roll provides an easy-to-carry solution. This kit can easily be packed in a backpack, ammo box, car, bush plane or utility vehicle.
