KMW and Elbit Systems Sign Rocket Artillery Cooperation Agreement

KMW and Elbit Systems Sign Rocket Artillery Cooperation Agreement

Munich, June 2022 – Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), Ulm-based defense company Elbit Systems Deutschland, and Elbit Systems Land have signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to further expand the strategic cooperation.

The background is the modernization and expansion of capabilities of the European Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). In this context, Elbit will provide a modern active agent portfolio so that the requirements of MLRS users can be fully met, from range-enhanced rockets to practice ammunition. The users will thus also be able to train combined arms operations.

Yehuda “Udi” Vered, General Manager of Elbit System Land, comments: “We’re pleased to be working with KMW in the area of rocket artillery. I believe that this venture creates synergies and is timely given the leading expertise of the companies involved and the growing demand for long-range precision firearms.”

“I very much welcome the cooperation with Elbit. With this partnership we underline the potential of our MLRS. The associated capability enhancements make this artillery rocket system one of the most modern worldwide,” says Ralf Ketzel, Chairman of the KMW Management Board.

Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, a member of the German-French defense technology group KNDS, leads the European market for highly protected wheeled and tracked vehicles. At locations in Germany, Brazil, Greece, Hungary, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the USA more than 4.000 employees develop, manufacture and support a product portfolio ranging from air-transportable, highly protected wheeled vehicles through reconnaissance, anti-aircraft and artillery systems to main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles* and bridgelaying systems. In addition, KMW has wide-ranging system competence in the area of civil and military simulation, as well as in command and information systems and remote-controlled weapon stations with reconnaissance and observation equipment. The armed forces of more than 50 nations worldwide rely on tactical systems by KMW.

The New CZ-USA 600 Lux Rifle – Traditional Styling, Advanced Technology

The New CZ-USA 600 Lux Rifle – Traditional Styling, Advanced Technology

DSC_3733CZ.jpg

Kansas City, KS (July 28, 2022) – The 600 Lux is part of the exciting new CZ-USA 600 series rifle family. The Lux’s refined lines and traditional style reflect gun makers and hunters’ long, proud tradition. Modern innovations ensure the Lux shoots are as good as it looks. Each Lux rifle comes with a sub-MOA guarantee!

A traditional oil-finished select-grade walnut matches the rifle’s dark nitrided barrel and receiver. The stock’s new comb geometry is optimized for use with both optics and the fiber-optic equipped iron sights while retaining the iconic look of the Bavarian-style comb. Fish-scale checkering and a decorative forend complete the look.

The Lux features a cold hammer-forged light (sporter) contour barrel that delivers a guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy. Barrels are threaded M15x1 and suppressor-ready. Depending on the cartridge, barrels are available from 20 to 24 inches, optimizing ballistic performance with barrel length.  

Shooters will love the smooth and fast-handling 60-degree bolt throw, a design that increases clearance between the bolt and optic, plus it cycles considerably faster than traditional designs. The Lux features an oversized wooden bolt knob for improved control with gloved hands.

Reliability was a vital consideration in the 600 Series’ rifle design. CZ selected the short extractor, controlled round feed design for its round-cycling consistency in all situations. A patented 2-position tang safety is virtually silent and intuitive to use. 

A detachable magazine allows quick reloads, and a selectable locking feature ensures magazine retention. Magazine top-ups, through the ejection port, add convenience.

CZ-USA chambers the 600 Lux in four tried-and-true hunting cartridges, including .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum. It incorporates the high CZ standards of accuracy, reliability, durability, and versatility with many modern upgrades. The Lux is sure to become a favorite rifle in deer camps and hunting lodges worldwide.

Barnett’s Whitetail Hunter Crossbow Series – Compact, Fast & Deadly

Barnett’s Whitetail Hunter Crossbow Series – Compact, Fast & Deadly

2021-Barnett-Logo-Badge-sized.png

Tarpon Springs, FL (July 28, 2022) – Barnett’s popular Whitetail Hunter crossbows equip hunters for success. Two models define the series: the Whitetail Hunter STR with Step-Through Riser (STR) technology and new for 2022, the Whitetail Hunter 400XTR. Both high-performance platforms pack premium features into a compact frame for hunter comfort and safety. Not to mention the deadly down-range results!

Whitetail Hunter crossbows utilize the advanced technology features hunters have come to expect from Barnett®, like a TriggerTech trigger, step-thru riser, anti-dry fire technology and a metal injection molded trigger. The TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology is the cornerstone of the crossbow’s integral anti-dry fire (ADF) safety which automatically engages upon cocking the crossbow; it cannot fire without loading and securing a bolt under the patented Soft Lok™ floating bristle arrow retainer. Finger safety reminders round out a safe and secure crossbow for use in every hunter’s hands.

Barnett’s innovative Step-Through Riser (STR) technology shortens the crossbow’s overall length by integrating the foot stirrup directly into the riser. The compact design is more maneuverable inside the blind and shifts the crossbow’s balance point closer to the shooter for steadier off-hand shooting. The strategically placed Picatinny rail adds placement for optics and accessories without compromising the maneuverability of the crossbow. The Whitetail Hunter series crossbows are also CCD compatible, so whether it’s a crank or a rope, this series has a functionality option for everyone.

The Whitetail Hunter STR forms a compact, controllable profile that hunters of all sizes and skills can manage. The short, custom composite laminated limbs provide plenty of power without added fore-end weight for a more stable shooting platform. Step-Through Riser (STR) technology reduces its length, and lightweight materials and hollow stock design lighten the mass to 6.6 pounds. The STR hunts light and fast, launching a 380-grain bolt at 375 feet per second! It’s dressed to kill in Mossy Oak® Bottomland camo.

The Whitetail Hunter 400XTR is the newest addition to the series and a big step forward from earlier models. The new 400XTR is 3-inches shorter axle to axle than its predecessor, a compact design that works for hunters of all sizes and skills. It’s fast too! The 400XTR shoots 25 feet per second faster than earlier models, an accolade reflected in its name, launching bolts at a blisteringly 400 fps! Clad in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo, the 400XTR is ready to hit the woods this fall.

All Whitetail Hunter crossbows come ready to hunt with a 4x32mm multi-reticle scope, two 22” Headhunter™ arrows, a lightweight quiver, and lubrication wax. The 400XTR and STR standard models include a rope cocking device, while the STR with CCD swaps the rope for a crank cocking device for easier drawing.

As long as hunters chase whitetails through the woods, Barnett will equip them with the best crossbows. The Whitetail Hunter Series covers all the bases for serious whitetail hunters, and it’s ready to hunt right out of the box.

Whitetail Hunter Series Features:

  • · TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology™ – a $200 value
  • · A single bolt allows quick and easy assembly
  • · Fiberglass composite step-through riser shortens the overall length
  • · Soft-Lok™ floating bristle arrow retainer holds the bolt in place
  • · Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) Trigger System
  • · Metal Injection Molded (MIM) Trigger
  • · Custom Composite Laminated Limbs
  • · One Picatinny Rail
  • · Crank Cocking Device Compatible
  • · Finger Safety Reminders

“This was the first competition I shot Federal’s High Over All 24-gram product in competition and the results speak for themselves,” stated Mein.

Henry Announcing "Danica Strong" Guns For Great Causes Benefit

Henry Repeating Arms

Henry Donates 50 Rifles
to Benefit Parents of Pediatric Brain Cancer Victim

Danica Strong

Danica Brianna Mulholland of Levittown, Pennsylvania passed away earlier this year after a battle with pediatric brain cancer lasting over 3 years.

Rice Lake, Wis. – July 28, 2022 – Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearm manufacturers, is donating a limited-edition series of 50 “Danica Strong” rifles to raise funds for the family of Danica Brianne Mulholland after a battle with pediatric brain cancer took her life at just twelve years old. All proceeds from the Guns For Great Causes campaign will be presented to the Mulholland family of Levittown, Pennsylvania, in memory of Danica to assist with any remaining medical and funeral expenses.

When most children would be opening presents on Christmas Day 2018, Danica was undergoing a CAT scan at her local hospital due to a worsening headache and nausea that alerted her parents about something being wrong. The results would change their lives forever when a 3cm lesion was found on Danica’s brain, leading to the official diagnosis of a grade IV medulloblastoma. Danica then underwent surgeries and a full course of treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) over the following three years.

Danica Strong legos

Tragically, as Henry Repeating Arms began developing the “Danica Strong” rifles to help with the medical expenses associated with pediatric brain cancer, Danica succumbed to her illness. Even through her treatments, Danica’s kindness prevailed. In 2020, she made and donated thousands of homemade ear savers for healthcare professionals and fellow cancer patients in the Philadelphia area. Danica had an artistic, creative eye and wanted to be a makeup artist when she grew up. She was also a natural at archery and loved spending time at the shooting range.

“It brings tears of joy to us that Henry is honoring the memory of our precious Danica with such a beautiful rifle. The detail in the artwork capturing Danica’s bumblebee pillow pet is astonishing,” says Danica’s father, John Mulholland. “Those close to her know that bumblebee brought great comfort during her difficult journey. We are sure Danica is smiling ear to ear, looking down at all this.”

Henry Repeating Arms CEO & Founder Anthony Imperato says, “My heart is broken for Danica’s parents and sister. We knew we needed to proceed with this special edition despite the tragic news of her passing, so my hope is the funds raised will give the family one less thing to worry about.” He continues, “Danica’s memory is going to live on through these rifles, and while she never got to see the final design, I hope that she is looking down on all of us with that big smile of hers.”

Danica Strong rifle

The Henry “Danica Strong” Golden Boy .22 S/L/LR lever action rifle features a design that is intricately engraved and painted by hand, depicting the “Danica Strong” tagline and a stuffed bumblebee companion that followed her throughout her battle. The flower petals on the wind represent the freedom and relief she now has from her ailments. The gray and gold ribbon recognizes the symbol of childhood brain cancer awareness. Baron Engraving of Trumbull, Connecticut, donated each rifle’s artwork, engraving, and hand painting. The rest of the rifle follows suit with Henry’s award-winning Golden Boy platform, including a polished blued steel octagon barrel, genuine American walnut furniture, and fully adjustable sights.

Enjoy Exceptional Ergonomics in CZ’s Striker-Fired P-10 Pistols

Enjoy Exceptional Ergonomics in CZ’s Striker-Fired P-10 Pistols

Kansas City, KS (July 27, 2022) – CZ-USA takes striker-fired guns to the next level with its ever-growing P-10 family of pistols. Whether it’s the compact P-10 C, the pistol that started it all, or the mighty micro-compact P-10 M, all P-10 pistols feel right in the hand. With CZ reliability, engineered ergonomics and a bevy of well-known and new features, P-10 pistols are the complete package for any shooter. 

The P-10 C is the original compact pistol in the line, sporting a 4.02” barrel. Its ergonomic design avoids that ‘brick-in-the-hand’ feeling that plagues other pistols in the striker-fired genre. Because shooters come in all shapes and sizes, the P-10 C’s mild palm swell, deep beavertail and three interchangeable backstraps create a custom fit for different-sized hands. The polymer-framed handgun is 5.2” high, 1.26” wide, and 7.3” in overall length. And it’s compatible with an array of aftermarket holsters.

The P-10 C trigger design minimizes creep and stacking. After an initial break-in, the pull averages a clean 4.5-5 lb pull. The trigger delivers accurate shots and effortless follow-ups thanks to its short, positive reset.

The P-10 fiber-reinforced polymer frame and hardy nitride finish stand up to rigorous daily use. Its generous trigger guard with a recessed cut permits gloved-hand shooting while allowing a high grip for faster shot recovery. Since self-defense situations can arise anytime or place, models come standard with robust 3-dot sights or an optional tritium sight for low-light conditions on the P-10 C.

At the other end of the size spectrum, the P-10 M micro-compact also fits comfortably in hand, retaining the outstanding full-size’s ergonomics; its pocket-sized profile makes it ideal for a concealed carry pistol. The 3.19-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged and is slightly shorter than the barrel on the P-10 C, making it lighter for everyday carry.

CZ released the P-10 C in 2016 and has been a flagship defensive pistol ever since. The P-10 family grew by adding the full-size P-10 F and the subcompact P-10 S. The latest addition comes as the P-10 F Comp Ready and the new micro-compact P-10 M. CZ builds a polymer striker-fired pistol that is perfect for every situation.

iXblue and ECA Group demonstrate successful subsea asset tracking to Polish Naval Academy

iXblue and ECA Group demonstrate successful subsea asset tracking to Polish Naval Academy

clip_image003Saint-Germain-en-Laye (France), 26/07/2022 – iXblue and ECA Group recently demonstrated successful subsea asset tracking in shallow waters using iXblue Gaps M7 USBL (Ultra Short BaseLine) positioning system and ECA Group new R7 ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle).

Hosted by their local partner THESTA, a Polish company providing maritime navigation services and communication systems for the defense sector, the demonstration was organized for the Polish Naval Academy and NAVSUP 2022 attendees with the aim of showing that accurate positioning of underwater targets is possible in a potentially hostile and fast-approaching environment, in coastal regions characterized by shallow waters and often limited access.

As part of the mission scenario, ECA Group’s R7 ROV investigated objects and structures submerged in the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea in Gdynia harbor. iXblue Gaps M7 USBL acoustic positioning system was deployed to geolocate the R7 ROV and correct its trajectory in real time. A fixed transponder was also placed several hundreds of meters away from the vessel, at only 5 meters deep. The trials were carried out in water depths of 7 to 10 meters, surrounded by many docks and vessels causing significant acoustic echoes.

Despite challenging acoustic conditions, the positioning of the ROV and the transponder was stable and accurate. Extremely efficient in shallow waters, Gaps M7 ensured excellent horizontal tracking capabilities with omnidirectional coverage and 200° acoustic aperture. With no calibration required, it was easy to deploy and ready to use, saving precious operational time on the field.

The ROV inspection was successful despite the low visibility. Such environments make the use of traditional cameras impossible, but the HD acoustic inspection camera performed remarkably, providing high-resolution data with superior localization accuracy. The R7 combines the compactness and maneuverability of mini-ROVs with the performance and power of professional observation-class ROVs. It embeds a wide range of fast-equipped payloads and operates well under harsh sea conditions, making it the perfect ally of Navies for quick and efficient subsea interventions.

“The R7 ROV along with the Gaps M7 USBL acoustic positioning system is able to transmit information accurately, even in noisy and difficult acoustic environments. They both enable fast operation as well as regular and quick position updates, even in very shallow waters, which is a definite asset for the navies, given their need for a fast, clear and concise picture of the battlespace to quickly maneuver naval forces in the field.” says Cezary Majchrowicz, Technical Director at THESTA.

Warthog Product Line Overview: A Perfect Cut—Every time!

Warthog Product Line Overview:

A Perfect Cut—Every time!

Baton Rouge, LA (July 26, 2022) – Warthog Sharpeners was founded with the vision to provide people a fast and easy way to get a professional edge at home, outdoors, or in the workshop. Sharpening a knife is a skill that is time-consuming and somewhat frustrating for the beginner. Handheld pull-through and electric sharpeners do more damage than good to a blade. Sharpening a blade consistently and correctly is the only guaranteed way to preserve your knife and keep it for years to come. 

Everyone deserves a sharp knife, and Warthog has created something truly exceptional, a range of patented Diamond sharpeners that give your knives an unrivaled edge. The V-Sharp Series includes the Classic II, Curve, Xtreme Edge, and most recently, the A4 model. Simply draw the blade in a slicing motion entirely through and out of the sharpener while keeping the blade flat against the Blade Guide. This motion is all it takes to achieve a consistent angle from the heel to the tip. After sharpening to a keen edge, turn the hones over with the hardened steel facing up, and increase the angle by one notch (5°) to finish the blade to a razor edge.

The V-Sharp CLASSIC II is equipped with two 325 grit double-sided Diamond Rods and finishing steels that sharpen both sides of the blade at one time. There are three adjustable angles that quickly change (20°, 25°, 30°). The sharpener weighs about 2 pounds and has a hand-crafted metal frame, sturdy rubber base, and durable powder-coated finish.

V-Sharp CLASSIC II ELITE is the same extremely popular Classic II mounted on a solid wooden base to give a classy look and make sharpening even easier!

V-Sharp XE (Xtreme Edge), similar to the V-Sharp CLASSIC II in use, has two 325 grit double-sided Diamond Rods and finishing steels. It has been designed to be extremely lightweight, made from ABS Plastic (8 ounces). The V-Sharp XE is entirely waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about rusting. Snap-in Rods make for quick angle & grit changes and offers four angles (17°, 20°, 25°, 30°), making it versatile while out in the field or boat. Now comes with a fitted carrying case.

V-Sharp Curve is ultra-compact and the easiest to use of the V-Sharp Series. The unique curve in the Diamond Rods maintains a 25° angle throughout the entire blade. Spring-loaded Diamond Rods keep equal pressure on each side while pulling the blade through. With no adjustments needed, all you need to do is keep your blade flat against the Blade Guide and let the sharpener do the rest.

The Multi-Edge breaks away from the V-Sharp design and offers an infinite angle 10°-90° Guide Rod & Clamp, 600 grit plate & stropping plate (included), and features a large 220mm flat diamond honing plate. Optional 270, 325, & 1000 grit diamond plates are available.

Warthog Sharpening accessories include ultra-padded protective cases with interior pockets that hold extra diamond rods and finishing steels for the V-Sharp CLASSIC II/ V-Sharp Curve. Protect your V-Sharp XE with a High Impact ABS Case to guarantee protection while out in the field.

Multi-Edge Diamond Stones are available in 325 (coarse), 600 (medium), or 1000 (fine) diamond grit.

V-Sharp Classic II Ceramic Rods offer an extra level of blade polish and will sharpen serrated edges such as on a bread knife, and the ceramic hone will give a slick edge to a smooth blade as well.

Handheld serrated sharpener, Gut Hook and Diamond Nail Files are also available. If long-term care and blade maintenance is your priority, you only have one choice—Warthog Sharpeners!

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

Walk The Talk America (WTTA) Now Offering Bilingual Mental Health Awareness Flyer in Bersa Firearm Boxes

Bersa, an Argentinean-founded firearms manufacturer, has translated WTTA’s original Mental Health Awareness Flyer into Spanish, allowing the non-profit org to expand its message to the Latino community.

Walk The Talk America (WTTA) Now Offering Bilingual Mental Health Awareness Flyer in Bersa Firearm Boxes

Bersa, an Argentinean-founded firearms manufacturer, has translated WTTA’s original Mental Health Awareness Flyer into Spanish, allowing the non-profit org to expand its message to the Latino community.

Las Vegas, Nev. (July 2022)Walk The Talk America (WTTA), a non-profit organization designed to bridge the gap between the firearms industry and owners and the mental health industry, is pleased to announce its Mental Health Awareness Flyer has been translated to Spanish, thanks to Bersa, an Argentinean founded manufacturer of quality firearms. WTTA’s Mental Health Awareness flyer will now be double-sided; the front side will be in English while the back side will be in Spanish. These flyers are provided to gun manufacturers or firearm store owners to distribute with each sale helping to inform gun owners of available mental health resources. Bersa, which now operates out of Kennesaw, Georgia with manufacturing both in the U.S. and Argentina, will be including the bilingual flyers in all their firearm boxes.

“We are happy to be able to provide this resource for our customers. As someone who was there at the beginning of WTTA, I’m glad that Bersa can continue to contribute and help be part of its evolution,” commented Rafael Del Valle, Director of U.S. Sales and Marketing for Bersa.

According to an article published on Forbes.com in May of 2021, 13 percent of the U.S. population speaks Spanish at home. This figure makes it the most common non-English language spoken within the United States. The U.S. also has the second largest population of Spanish speakers in the world, only behind Mexico. If the data continues to trend this way, then by 2050, one in three U.S. citizens will speak Spanish (including bilingual people who also speak English). This data proves that this population within the American market must also be represented in a company’s marketing efforts, and that is what WTTA has aimed to do.

“One of our main goals is to educate and inform people that it is okay to talk about mental health, no matter who they are or what language they speak,” Michael Sodini, WTTA founder, said. “Conversations can and should happen around firearm ownership, and those conversations shouldn’t be blocked due to language barriers. We hope that by providing this bilingual flyer we will be able to reach more people within the Latino community.”

WTTA, the brainchild of Sodini, a firearms industry veteran, spearheaded a movement within the firearms industry to bridge the gap between mental health and responsible firearm ownership to reduce suicide by firearm and gun violence. Through educational programs, podcasts, and training programs, WTTA is paving the way for educating mental health professionals about gun culture and breaking down the negative stigmas around mental health for gun owners. Through their various programs and offerings, such as instructional flyers and slides for firearms instructors, classes in Cultural Competence, and the Introductory Courses in The Intersection of Guns and Mental Health, WTTA is leading the conversation and opening doors throughout the firearms industry and mental health industry.

For more information on how to become involved, visit WalkTheTalkAmerica.org. Take the WTTA Mental Health Screening Test. Following the screening, you will be provided with information, resources, and tools to help you understand and improve your mental health.

About Walk the Talk America:

Our mission is to fund research and development for the outreach and promotion of mental health to reduce the misconceptions and prejudices that exist when it comes to mental illness and firearms. We believe we can be a catalyst for change by working with experts in the mental health industry. www.walkthetalkamerica.org

Barnett’s TS380 — The One-Size-Fits-All Hunting Crossbow

Barnett’s TS380 — The One-Size-Fits-All Hunting Crossbow

2021-Barnett-Logo-Badge-sized.png

Tarpon Springs, FL (July 26, 2022) – Barnett’s TS380 is a crossbow in a league of its own. The TS380 boasts premium components, performance features, and great speed at an incredible price. This lightweight crossbow gains the tactical advantage over competing models with its adjustable stock and strategically located Picatinny rails for optics and accessories. For a one-size-fits-all crossbow, look no further than the TS380.

The TS380 builds on Barnett’s reputation for designing high-performance hunting crossbows. At just over 32 in. long, it’s perfect for use inside a blind. At the same time, a magnesium riser lightens the crossbow to a mere 6.9 lbs, so hunters on the move or in a treestand will love it too.

The adjustable butt stock allows quick length-of-pull adjustments. This versatility enables the crossbow to be used comfortably by different-sized shooters. This crossbow is adjustable to fit kids, women & men. It’s also handy on cold days when bulky layers may require shortening the stock or the opposite as the temperature increases. The Tactical Series stock on the TS380 includes graduation marks for quickly returning the stock to a favored position. Another nicety is its rubberized areas on the pistol grip and foregrip for improved comfort and hold.

Several TS380 features enhance its stealth and quietness in the woods. Dual string stops quiet string slap, and an anti-vibration foot stirrup, made of a dampening rubberized material, absorbs additional vibration from the shot. And Barnett engineers left nothing to chance—the stirrup is large enough to fit a bulky hunting boot. The Barnett TS380 wears a digital gray wrap that adds stealth in the woods and turns heads back at camp.

Like all Barnett crossbows, safety is paramount on the TS380. Its Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) trigger system automatically engages upon cocking the crossbow; it cannot fire without loading and securing a bolt under the patented Soft Lok™ floating bristle arrow retainer. An ambidextrous safety provides comfort for both left- and right-handed shooters. The crossbow’s generous pass-through foregrip keeps the hunter’s hand in a safe position.

A TriggerTech™ frictionless release technology trigger, a $200 value, comes standard with this model—a premium upgrade that improves accuracy and creates an incredibly smooth trigger pull.

Nothing could be simpler than assembling the TS380. Out of the box, a single bolt secures the bow to the frame. The included 4×32 optic mounts directly to the Picatinny rail. Additional rails allow mounting the quiver along either side of the foregrip.

Barnett pairs this crossbow with two ready-to-hunt Headhunter™ bolts. The TS380 launches these arrows at a sizzling 380 feet per second, each shot gliding perfectly on the CNC machined aluminum flight track.

The TS380 also includes a lightweight side mount quiver, rope cocking sled and lube wax. The same model is available with a pre-installed crank cocking device (CCD).

Barnett’s focus on precision, safety and performance have earned a top spot in the hunting camps across the country. The TS380 is the perfect choice for the hunter looking for a one-size-fits-all crossbow.

SLx® RS-10 Reflex Earns NTOA Silver Recommendation

Primary Arms Optics

PRIMARY ARMS® OPTICS NEW SLx® RS-10  REFLEX RECEIVES SILVER RECOMMENDATION FROM NATIONAL TACTICAL OFFICERS ASSOCIATION

HOUSTON, TEXAS – The National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) has evaluated Primary Arms Optics’ new SLx® RS-10 Mini Reflex with a special recommendation for duty-use.

The NTOA is a leading industry voice for Law Enforcement products, and their product tests are a key indicator in a product’s viability for duty-use. NTOA testing encompasses weeks of field trials by a panel of Law Enforcement professionals, who score products according to at least 6 of 13 primary criteria, including Design, Performance, Ease of Use, Size, Quality, Durability, Storage, Versatility, Convenience, Application, Comfort, Accuracy, and Cleaning & Maintenance.

To qualify for a recommendation, a product must score at least above-average on all categories. Special recommendations may be given for products that test exceedingly well, and Primary Arms Optics’ new SLx RS-10 Mini Reflex met and exceeded this heightened standard. Recipient of the ‘Silver Medal’ recommendation, the RS-10 earned a striking 4.42 out of 5, approaching the highest recommendation tier, Gold, at 4.5.

“We couldn’t be more excited to win the silver recommendation from the NTOA for our new SLx RS-10 mini reflex. It was designed to be rugged and dependable at an obtainable price,” says Stephen Morgan, Product Marketing Director for Primary Arms Optics. “The tools and equipment used by our nation’s LEOs need to work every time, no matter what. That was the basis of the design of the RS-10 from the start, and we’re proud to have achieved that benchmark.”

The SLx RS-10 is a ruggedized mini reflex sight made of 7075 aluminum, fitting the commonly used Docter/Noblex standard mounting footprint. This optic offers a true daylight bright 3 MOA reticle, multi-coated lenses, night vision compatibility, and an ultra-long battery runtime with a side-loading battery slot. The SLx RS-10 also comes with a super low-profile adapter plate that allows immediate compatibility with GLOCK MOS slide cuts.

Reviewers noted the optic’s durability, citing its success in their drop tests as well as field use. The side-loaded battery compartment was particularly popular among testing officers, as it allowed for quick replacement without needing to re-zero the optic. Unlike many optics of its size and weight, the RS-10 uses a full CR2032 battery, which offers enhanced battery life in conjunction with Primary Arms’ AutoLive® motion-activated illumination.

Reflective of its high ratings, the SLx RS-10 offers a lot of functionality for its $199.99 price tag, and as part of the SLx product line, it comes with a guarantee of quality. SLx optics built Primary Arms Optics’ reputation for innovation, reliability, and value. All SLx optics undergo rigorous field-testing during development to best serve the user in any environment.

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo

APEX -Waterfowl Shotshells (002)

clip_image001

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo

Columbus, Miss. (July 25, 2022) – APEX Ammunition, makers of premium, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, will be exhibiting at the Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo in Little Rock, Arkansas, July 29-31, 2022. The APEX team will be in Booth # 198 on the Champions of Delta row in the Little Rock Statehouse Convention Center, highlighting their extensive line of waterfowl ammunition. The three-day show is open to the public and will feature the latest in duck hunting gear and numerous seminars, duck calling contests, decoy demonstrations and more.

“We are excited to attend the Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo and look forward to meeting the many hunters who share our deep passion for waterfowl hunting,” said Jason Lonsberry, CEO, APEX Ammunition. “The idea for our company was actually conceived on a duck hunt after seeing how our friend’s handloaded TSS shell outperformed the rest of our ammunition. We’ve been on a mission ever since to create the best patterning, hardest-hitting waterfowl loads possible.”

All APEX Waterfowl loads feature an advanced Tungsten-grade wad system to deliver the tightest patterns and best barrel protection possible. Offerings include:

Waterfowl TSS

APEX’s hard-hitting TSS shotshells are meticulously handloaded for ultimate consistency and patterning. Made from 18.1 g/cc density tungsten alloy, TSS is the most versatile and hardest hitting shotshell pellet in existence today. Denser than lead (11.34 g/cc), Bismuth (9.8g/cc), Copper (8.8 g/cc) or Steel (7.84 g/cc), TSS allows the use of smaller-sized shot and significantly more pellets in TSS loads than other shotshells. More pellets per ounces means a more powerful payload with higher pattern density and superior knockdown power at extended ranges. Available in 12-, 20-, and 28-gauge loads.

Waterfowl TSS / S3 Steel Blend

These handcrafted “duplex” loads combine No. 9 or 7.5 Tungsten Super Shot with APEX’s S3 zinc-plated steel shot (available in sizes 2, 4 or BB in 12 gauge and size 4 in 20 gauge).

The zinc-coating on the APEX S3 steel ensures perfectly uniform pellets with optimum patterning in a steel load, and when combined with ultra-high-density TSS, helps deliver a harder hitting payload and improved terminal performance to reduce crippling.

Waterfowl S3 Steel

APEX’s Waterfowl S3 Steel is zinc plated for improved performance in a steel load. Normal steel shot has tiny voids and uneven surfaces from the manufacturing process. APEX’s zinc-coating fills these voids and imperfections creating consistently rounder pellets. The zinc also acts as a lubricant resulting in more consistent pellet drop when loading and greatly reduces the chance of pellet “bridging” where one pellet becomes locked with another. The reduced friction also allows for better movement of the pellets against each other in the firing process, resulting in fewer stray pellets known as fliers. The same Tungsten-grade wad system used in the TSS line is also used in the S3 shotshells and, when combined with APEX’s premium zinc-plated steel, delivers superior patterning in a steel load.

About APEX Ammunition

What started in 2017 with a few handmade shells for a hunting trip with buddies has become an obsession to provide wingshooters with the absolute best performing ammunition possible. Founded by U.S. Veterans and hunting enthusiasts in the great state of Mississippi, APEX Ammunition pioneered the commercial application of ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot to create the hardest hitting, most accurate shot loads in the business. The driving principle behind the company’s continued quest for innovation and better performance is its commitment to delivering a hunting experience like no other.

New Historical Articles Added to Federal’s Website: Trophy Bonded Bullets and BB Tubes

New Historical Articles Added to Federal’s Website: Trophy Bonded Bullets and BB Tubes

ImageANOKA, Minnesota – July 25, 2022 – As part of the 100-year anniversary celebration, Federal Ammunition is featuring monthly online content celebrating Federal’s rich history. The month of July highlights Federal’s Trophy Bonded product development and the production of air rifle shot. Content can be found on the 100-year anniversary website: https://www.federalpremium.com/this-is-federal/a-century-of-authority/.

Like many of the products developed by Federal Ammunition, the Trophy Bonded bullet was created to fit a need. The article “The Climb To The Top” follows the story of entrepreneur Jack Carter to develop a better penetrating expanding bullet for big game hunting. The article lays out the evolution of the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw to the Trophy Bonded Tip, and Federal’s Flagship hunting bullet, the Terminal Ascent.

“Using Federal products in real-world hunting situations has continued to push the company to create new products,” said Jason Nash, Federal Ammunition Vice President of Marketing. “The descendant products of the great Trophy Bonded Bear Claw continue to be our top hunting bullets as thousands of hunters trust them to work in the field.”

In 1933 American Ball moved manufacturing of steel BBs for air rifles to the Federal Anoka, Minnesota plant. The article “The Unlikely Start” details the proud history Federal had in making BBs.

“The history of Federal making BBs for air rifle shot is something that shouldn’t be forgotten,” said Nash. “One of Federal’s founding influential partners, Charles L. Horn was able to successfully demonstrate that steel BBs didn’t damage airgun barrels. The manufacturing of BBs was a big success factor in the early years of the company.”

Each month through the end of 2022, Federal Ammunition will be uploading additional content focused on the rich history of this American ammunition company. In addition to the monthly online content, Federal Ammunition has released a 244-page book preserving the company’s history. Federal Ammunition: The First Hundred Years can be found online at: https://www.federalpremium.com/merchandise/education/.

Galco’s High Ready Chest Holster for Glock 20/21!

Galco’s High Ready Chest Holster for Glock 20/21!

Click to Shop Now

Phoenix, July 2022

Now available for the Glock 20/21 with or without red dot sights, Galco’s High Ready™ chest holster system is the latest in an expanding line of torso-worn hunting and outdoor holsters.

High Ready is ideal for comfortably carrying a large-frame semiauto when hunting, fishing, camping or hiking in bear country. Positioning on the chest keeps the handgun clear of gear carried near the waistline or on the back, and allows rifle carry on either shoulder. It also helps keep the handgun dry when wading, and is a great choice for riding, whether on an ATV or horseback.

The High Ready’s outstanding comfort level comes from three major design features:

The first is its innovative backing plate, composed of a ballistic nylon front over a closed cell foam body. The back portion of the plate that rides against the wearer’s chest is lined with Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, an Adaptive Performance Mesh™ that provides padding and moisture wicking.

Secondly, the unique harness construction that allows the holster to pivot at three independent attachment points, maximizing freedom of movement and minimizing restriction. Three quickly-operated, highly secure metal side-release buckles attach the holster component to the harness straps at the pivot points.

Lastly, 2” wide tubular webbing harness straps distribute the weight of a heavy handgun for maximum comfort. One strap goes over either shoulder, while the second wraps around the torso for highly effective weight distribution.

The rigid, open-top Kydex holster pocket offers full slide coverage, provides fast draw and easy holstering, and facilitates a full firing grip. The holster pocket accommodates most red dot sights.
