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

Posted on Wednesday, 11 January, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

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

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

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

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

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

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

Visit UMAREX At The 2023 SHOT Show

Umarex USA will be exhibiting at the 2023 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas on January 17-20. The Umarex booth (No. 12472) will include products from Umarex Airguns, Axeon Optics, Elite Force Airsoft, T4E, P2P, REKT and many licensed brands.

Umarex USA is on the leading edge of air-powered shooting sports and continues to develop innovative patented technologies. Umarex will have many of its newest products available to shoot at the Industry Day at the Range.

Umarex Airguns designs and produces top-quality airguns including big bore hunting rifles, pellet guns and BB guns. From the .50-caliber Umarex Hammer to a traditional spring-powered BB gun for backyard plinking, Umarex has it. Umarex also produces a large number of replicas airguns which allow firearm owners to practice trigger discipline for pennies on the dollar.

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

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

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

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

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

Umarex USA’s line of airguns, optics, airsoft and foam dart launchers, paintball and pepper ball launchers are available at sporting goods dealers and retailers. Retailers may order Umarex products from many proven outdoor goods distributors and are invited to booth 12472 to learn more about them.

Huk Partners with Billy Strings to Develop Custom-Designed Tees for his Upcoming Tour

Posted on Wednesday, 11 January, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Huk Partners with Billy Strings to Develop Custom-Designed Tees for his Upcoming Tour

Photo Credit: Emily Butler

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

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

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

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


Marolina Outdoor Inc. was founded to bring deep-seated product expertise across all outdoor categories. Our innovative designs and technologically focused products create the foundation of our authentic outdoor apparel. Huk clothing represents a fresh take and a unique understanding of angling needs, offering functional styles that appeal to anglers of all ages. NOMAD is motivated to provide quality apparel so that hunters can maximize their experiences to hunt and provide sustenance regardless of the size of the game or where their pursuits lead them.

NSSF Applauds U.S. Rep. Bergman’s FIND Act Introduction in Congress

Posted on Wednesday, 11 January, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

NSSF Applauds U.S. Rep. Bergman’s FIND Act Introduction in Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, welcomed the introduction of H.R. 53, the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act, into Congress by U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.). The bill has 55 original co-sponsors. This vital legislation will end the ability of corporate entities to profit from taxpayer-funded federal contracts while discriminating against a Constitutionally-protected industry at the same time.

“This legislation will help put an end to ‘woke’ corporations profiting from taxpayer-funded contracts while denying those same taxpayers access to their Second Amendment rights by using their financial might to deny essential services to members of the firearm industry,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Corporations, in particular financial institutions, have been improperly dictating public policies from boardrooms that throttle Constitutionally-protected firearm businesses. The entire firearm industry thanks Congressman Bergman for his leadership to ensure fairness in business, reasserting Congress’s role in setting public policy and ensuring the federal government isn’t picking winners and losers in the marketplace based on politics. This legislation protects the ability of a lawful industry to compete for services without artificial and agenda-driven barriers.”

Congressman Bergman’s FIND Act does not tell companies with whom they must do business. However, just as companies can choose who they wish to do business with, so can the government when it spends taxpayer money. This bill ensures corporations cannot benefit from contracts and subcontracts funded by taxpayers only to use their financial strength to unfairly discriminate against the firearm industry. For far too long, corporations have engaged in “boardroom gun control” to force firearm businesses to adopt measures that would restrict Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Corporations are free to hold these anti-Second Amendment policies if they choose but would forfeit access to lucrative federal contracts.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed a similar law in Texas in 2021 and similar legislation is being considered in other state capitols. Congressman Bergman’s legislation would bring those same fair business protections to the federal government to ensure corporate entities are not forcing policies that deny American civil liberties through the benefit of taxpayer-funded federal contracts.

About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Meopta Introduces the MeoSight IV Red Dot Sight

TAMPA, FL, (January 9, 2023) – Meopta Sport Optics is pleased to introduce the MeoSight IV.  This new red dot reflex sight is Meopta’s smallest, weighing just 1.2 ounces. Its ultra-low profile makes the MeoSight IV ideal for handguns. It can also be mounted to a primary riflescope for fast and accurate close-quarter target acquisition or mounted directly to an accessory rail.

“We designed the MeoSight IV to significantly increase shooter accuracy and speed whether used in handgun competitions, for personal defense, or in law enforcement situations,” said Erik Muller, Product Specialist, Meopta Sport Optics. “This newest generation MeoSight features premium, scratch-resistant optics and a wide sight picture for such a compact sight, facilitating fast and accurate shooting on the move.”

Featuring 1x magnification, a 3 MOA dot, and highly durable, aircraft-grade aluminum body, the MeoSight IV has 120 MOA range of elevation and 120 MOA of windage adjustment. The illumination feature has a manual or automatic mode, and the brightness of the red dot is easily adjustable to five different intensity levels. The sight is powered by a Cr1632 3V battery for up to 30,000 hours of use. The sight’s auto-off function preserves battery life by automatically turning the illumination off after four hours of continuous operation if the function button has not been touched.

The MeoSight IV is compatible with standard-size optics ready pistol systems using a Docter adapter plate and comes with a Picatinny rail mount in the box.

WEST HARTFORD, CONN. (January 9, 2023) – Colt proudly announces the launch of its new CBX Precision Rifle. The CBX is an advanced bolt-action chassis rifle with features ideal for competitive shooters. “Our engineers excelled in the design of the CBX Rifle,” remarked Jessica Treglia, Colt Manufacturing, Director of Commercial Products. “We’ve created a premium precision rifle worthy of the Colt name.”

The CBX rifle is customizable for a shooters’ fit, and its modular accommodates aftermarket accessories, including, suppressors, weights, AICS magazines, and optic

The rifle’s aluminum chassis features a 15-inch extended forend with an ARCA rail and M-LOK® slots for mounting accessories. An aggressive barricade stop establishes a solid shooting platform in any position. Enhanced ergonomics include an angled pistol grip, built-in thumb shelf, QD cups, and an ambidextrous magazine release, providing a user-friendly shooting experience.

A user-adjustable (2.5-5lb), crisp trigger allows a customizable shooter feel.

Colt optimized the CBX’s carbon steel, button-rifled barrel’s length for ballistic performance. The 6.5 Creedmoor sports a 26-inch barrel, while the .308 Win uses a 24-inch barrel, and both feature 5/8-24 UNEF threaded muzzles with thread protectors. A black nitride treatment protects barrels from corrosion while providing a tactical matte finish.

Other features included with the CBX rifle system are a 1-piece Picatinny rail with Rem700 compatible scope mounts and a detachable 5-round Magpul AICS magazine.

Colt backs the CBX Precision Rifle with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. “We are proud of the CBX rifle platform and know shooters will love how it performs,” added Treglia. The CBX Precision Rifle is available at Colt now at dealers nationwide.

Focus on Innovation – Cooperation between High Eye and ODU

Posted on Tuesday, 10 January, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

High Eye Airboxer Gimbal


Mühldorf, 23-01-09

Focus on innovation to stay at the forefront

The right cooperation makes the difference

High Eye is a company that specializes in manufacturing the Airboxer VTOL UAV, a heavy-fuel driven (Jet A-1) unmanned helicopter system for both civilian and military use. In 2021, it introduced the Airboxer, a long-range drone with a single three-bladed rotor that quickly gained popularity in the market due to its small size, lightweight design, and ability to function in extreme conditions.

The Airboxer is a multifunctional ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) platform that is able to access locations that are difficult for other systems to reach. It has an endurance of 3 to 4 hours and can carry a payload of up to 7 kilograms, with a maximum take-off weight of 32 kilograms. The NATO STANAG 4738-compliant platform can be adapted to a variety of mission requirements or applications and can be easily integrated into challenging environments. Some potential uses for the Airboxer include coastal patrol and environmental control in the maritime domain, disaster management and border protection in the security and safety domain, and remote monitoring and power line inspection in the research and inspection domain.

To ensure the reliable transmission of media, the Airboxer utilizes plug-in connection systems from ODU, a leading international supplier of connectors. Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the Airboxer is a top priority for High Eye and its customers.

Interview with Joost de Ruiter, CEO and owner of High Eye

Joost de Ruiter1. High Eye started with model helicopters in 1998 and over time has developed into a specialist for unmanned helicopters. What new technical challenges did you have to overcome and new regulations did you have to comply with?

Some of the key challenges we have encountered include:

Developing reliable and safe control systems for the Airboxer VTOL UAV. Ensuring that the aircraft can be safely and accurately controlled is a critical part of our work, and we have had to design and test a variety of control systems to achieve the desired level of performance.

Developing lightweight and durable aircraft structures. One of the key requirements for any unmanned aircraft is that it is as lightweight as possible, to maximize its payload capacity and extend its range. At the same time, the aircraft must be strong enough to withstand the stresses of flight. Finding the right balance between these competing demands while complying to NATO norms, such as STANAG 4738, has been a major technical challenge for us.

2. And which new regulations did you have to comply with?

The regulatory landscape in the unmanned aircraft industry is complex and can be challenging to navigate. However, by staying up to date on the latest rules and guidelines, and by continuously adapting and innovating, High Eye could ensure that we are able to operate safely and effectively. We are working to obtain the Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC), which is required for drone operations within the EU. This certificate allows us to assess the risks of our flights based on strict guidelines set by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

3. The Airboxer was developed over a period of more than 8 years and tested under the most extreme conditions on several continents. What were your requirements for the Airboxer?

Mostly reliability and durability: Unmanned aircrafts are often used in a variety of challenging environments, and it is important that they are able to operate reliably and withstand the stresses of flight. The Airboxer is not an exception here – it had to be reliable and durable even when flying at the Arctic Circle in Canada, in the desert of Abu Dhabi or above the sea in South Korea.

4. What technical challenges do you face from your customers?

Designing and integrating payloads (cameras, sensors, etc.) onto the Airboxer VTOL UAV. Our aircraft is often used for a variety of applications, and we had to design and integrate a range of payloads to meet the needs of our customers. This has required us to develop advanced techniques for integrating cameras, sensors, and other payloads onto the aircraft, while minimizing their impact on the aircraft’s weight and performance.

5. You have been working with ODU for years. In which areas are the plug-in connection systems used?

We are using the ODU AMC® connector for our ground control system as those are highly respected connectors that are widely used on various Dismounted Soldier Systems. We appreciate its easy handling and robust break-away design, making it ideal for military and security power applications. This connector is designed to withstand rugged conditions and has been tested to meet MIL-STD-810H standards. The GCS (Ground Control Station) module is the central hub for all ground control equipment and is responsible for operating the flight control software and managing all telemetry communication. It communicates with the Airboxer, antenna systems, and pilot control unit using Ethernet.

6. What requirements do you have for the connector systems and how could it be implemented?

Our company is dedicated to producing high-quality VTOL UAVs. The requirements for connectors are the same: they need to be able to withstand even the most extreme environments. Whether it’s scorching heat or frigid cold, our ground control station is designed to function with reliability. We understand the importance of dependability in these types of situations, and we go above and beyond to ensure that our products meet and exceed the end-user expectations.

7. What distinguishes your cooperation?

The cooperation between High Eye and ODU is marked by several key features that set it apart. One of the main distinguishing factors is the focus on safety and reliability. Both companies are dedicated to manufacture products that are safe and efficient to use.

Another key aspect of the collaboration between High Eye and ODU is the ability to customize and tailor solutions to meet the specific needs of their customers. Whether it’s adapting connectors to fit specific requirements or developing bespoke payload capabilities, both companies are committed to provide solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of each client.

However, I also think that both of our companies are constantly looking for ways to push the boundaries of what is possible and to develop new technologies that will help our customers achieve their goals. This focus on innovation is what sets our collaboration apart and helps to ensure that we remain at the forefront of our respective industries.

ODU Group: global representation with perfect connections

The ODU Group is one of the world’s leading suppliers of connector systems, employing 2,500 people around the world. In addition to its company headquarters in Muehldorf a. Inn (Germany), ODU also has an international distribution network and production sites in Sibiu/Romania, Shanghai/China, and Tijuana/Mexico. ODU combines all relevant areas of expertise and key technologies including design and development, machine tooling and special machine construction, injection, stamping, turning, surface technology, assembly and cable assembly. The ODU Group sells its products globally through its sales offices in China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Romania, Sweden, UK and the US, as well as through numerous international sales partners. ODU connectors ensure a reliable transmission of power, signals, data and media for a variety of demanding applications including medical technology, military and security, automotive, industrial electronics, and test and measurement.

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at SHOT Show

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at SHOT Show

Columbus, Miss. (January 9, 2023) – APEX Ammunition, makers of handloaded, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, will showcase its comprehensive line of shotgun ammunition at the 2023 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 17-20 (Booth # 71104).

APEX pioneered the commercial use of 18.1 g/cc density TSS in 2017 and today makes premium shotshells for Waterfowl, Turkey, Upland, Predator, and Deer hunting that are sought after by hunters who value superior performance.

Waterfowl

APEX Waterfowl TSS shotshells are meticulously handloaded for ultimate knockdown power. The TSS/S3 Steel™ Blend duplex loads feature No. 7.5 or 9 TSS combined with No. 2, 4 or BB S3 Steel shot in 12-gauge and No. 4 shot in 20 gauge. The new Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat Blend combines No. 8 TSS with No. 3 S3 Steel for a devastating 12-gauge goose and duck load. APEX S3 Steel™ line features premium-grade zinc-coated steel and the same Tungsten-grade wad system used in the APEX TSS loads for superior patterning and consistency. Select dealers are now offering the limited-edition APEX Flight Bag of five boxes (25 rounds per box) of S3 Steel loads.

28-gauge, 16-gauge, and .410 bore waterfowl loads are available upon request online through APEX’s Small Batch custom program.

Turkey

APEX’s legendary Turkey TSS offerings bring a new level of performance to sub-gauge shotguns. Now available in 20-gauge No. 9s, 28-gauge (No. 9 and 9 ½) and .410 bore (No. 9 ½), APEX Turkey TSS shotshells are designed for maximum penetration at extended ranges. Handloaded for ultimate consistency and quality control, APEX TSS allows the use of smaller shot sizes and larger payloads for maximum pattern density and downrange energy. Also available in 10-gauge, 12-gauge and 16-gauge loads.

APEX also offers Smalltown Hunting Blend loads which feature a combination of No. 7 1/2 and No. 9 shot TSS as well as Ninja Turkey TSS loads.

Upland

APEX Upland Bird TSS will help you put more wild birds in hand whether you’re hunting grouse, Huns, quail, or late-season roosters. Available in 3-inch 12-and 20-gauge loads. Upland Bird 3-inch 16-gauge, 2 ¾-inch 28-gauge, and .410 bore 2 ½ and 3-inch loads are available upon request.

Predator

Over the years, shotshells for predator hunting have typically meant massive lead pellets and low pattern count leading to limited performance. APEX Predator TSS, offered in shot sizes 4, 2 and BB, capitalizes on superior density to deliver extended range and penetration while maximizing pattern retention for ultimate knockdown power on coyotes, hogs and deer.

The 2023 APEX Ammunition Catalog is now available online.

About APEX Ammunition

What started in 2017 with a few handmade shells for a hunting trip with friends 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.

Posted on Tuesday, 10 January, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Visit Cimarron Firearms at Booth 10933 for the latest in authentic American Old West replica rifles and pistols.

Visit Cimarron Firearms at the 2023 SHOT Show®, Booth # 10933

Cimarron Firearms to Display Firearms that Defined the American West at the 2023 SHOT Show®

Fredericksburg, Texas (January 2023) –Cimarron Firearms, makers of quality replicas of Old West firearms, proudly announce they are exhibiting at the 2023 SHOT Show® at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 17 – 20, 2023 at Booth 10933. Committed to representing the cowboy action and Old West lifestyle with faithful reproductions of historic, Hollywood, and Cimarron original designed pistols and rifles, Cimarron will be present showcasing their latest models.

“Cimarron Firearms continues to design and produce replicas of Old West firearms without compromising quality or authenticity because our discerning customers expect no less from us. We look forward to seeing our customers and old friends at SHOT, as well as making a lot of new great connections,” Mike Harvey, CEO of Cimarron Firearms, said.

Cimarron Firearms will showcase the Cimarron 1911 One Ranger in .45 ACP with a quote attributed to the legendary Texas Rangers, “One Riot One Ranger,” engraved on the 4.25” barrel. Based on the original design by legendary firearms maker, John M. Browning, the Cimarron 1911 One Ranger pistol features the same innovative design features that made the 1911 an instant classic for over one hundred years. The Cimarron One Ranger is a semi-automatic, single-action pistol skeletonized trigger and hammer, front dot sight and adjustable rear sight, grip safety, and extended beavertail and slide lock. Finished in a classic black matte with highly checkered wood grips, the Cimarron One Ranger is a beautifully crafted, precision handgun perfect for everyday carry.

Cimarron will also display the Lonesome Dove Walker revolvers in .44, honoring the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the end of the Old West from author Larry McMurty. The Walker .44 was the authentic standard-issue Texas Ranger pistol. Cimarron Firearms has designed and embellished the Lonesome Dove replicas with great attention to detail.

The Lonesome Dove Walker .44 features a 9-inch barrel in a charcoal blue finish, a white engraved cylinder, and a case-color hardened finish on the frame and hammer. The trigger guard and grip frame are in brass, with a steel backstrap, and finely figured walnut grips sporting a cartouche. The guns are authentically marked, one with “Capt. Augustus McCrae, Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion” down the backstrap and his Texas Ranger Division “E Company No. 120” on the left side of the frame and barrel, and the other with “Capt. Woodrow F. Call, Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion” and “E Company No. 119.”

Lever-action rifles that protected ranches, herds, and stagecoaches, pistols that rode into battle and defined our Western history, and firearms carried by rustlers, bandits, Rangers, and Sheriffs, painstakingly reproduced for cowboy action competition, collecting, hunting, defense, or just plain old plinking will be on display at the Cimarron Firearms booth at this year’s SHOT Show.

The SHOT Show is the world’s most comprehensive trade show for professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting, outdoor, law enforcement, and armed forces industries. This year’s show in both The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum will offer unique opportunities for attendees to experience the best in firearms, ammunition, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, and other related products and services first-hand.

The SHOT Show is owned by NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, and is restricted to the shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade professionals and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement, and tactical products and services ONLY.

Henry Repeating Arms Salutes Law Enforcement With $200,000 Donations

Monday, January 9, 2023

On this Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers and longtime supporter of our men and women in uniform, is announcing recent donations made to the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Sheriffs’ Association, and the American Association of State Troopers for a total of $200,000 contributed to law enforcement organizations since June 2022. The slew of donations is part of the company’s $1 million pledge through its charitable arm called Guns for Great Causes, which helps support military veterans and first responder organizations, individual families of sick children and children’s hospitals, wildlife conservation, and Second Amendment advocacy. 

“I grew up in my family’s police equipment shop right across the street from the New York Police Department headquarters, so I have a longstanding respect for law enforcement officers and what they have to endure daily,” says Anthony Imperato, CEO and Founder of Henry Repeating Arms. Imperato continues, “More than ever, they need not just our support, but the support of the people they serve and protect day in and day out on a local, state, and national level. Our hat’s off to the employees and volunteers of the organizations that make it their mission to support the men and women of law enforcement.”

On December 15th, 2022, Imperato visited the offices of the Fraternal Order of Police and the National Sheriffs’ Association in the Washington metropolitan area to present each with a check for $25,000. The following day, Imperato presented another $25,000 check to the American Association of State Troopers at Henry Repeating Arms’ manufacturing facility in Bayonne, New Jersey. Earlier in the year, Henry Repeating Arms also donated $50,000 to Tunnel to Towers, $50,000 to the First Responders Children’s Foundation, and $25,000 to Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.).

The firearm manufacturer’s support for police manifests in other ways, like the fully engraved and hand-painted Law Enforcement Tribute Edition rifle, a permanent fixture in the company’s product catalog. Henry Repeating Arms offers several other models exclusively to law enforcement officers, like their American Sheriff Tribute Edition rifles, Fraternal Order of Police Tribute Edition rifles, and a unique program offering custom engraved rifles for departments.

“My vision is to return to the law enforcement business at some point; I love it that much. Henry Repeating Arms will always be a staunch supporter of those whose job it is to protect us and who risk their lives every day to do so,” Imperato concludes.

  • Handgun 102: This is step 2 in the SIG SAUER Academy foundational handgun series.  Utilizing the principles of training in Handgun 101, this course takes students through the efficient and safe use of a handgun. Working from the holster, performing reloads clearing stoppages and correctly manipulating a trigger to maximize accuracy are all thoroughly taught in a relaxed, hands-on environment.
  • Handgun 103: This intensive one-day class is designed to take your skills to the next level.  Handgun 103 builds upon and refines the skill sets previously established in Handgun 102 while also introducing shooters to new drills, cutting-edge concepts, and core shooting principles.
  • Handgun 104: A fast-paced class of defensive handgun drills designed to increase time on target and performance with one common objective: surviving a deadly force encounter armed with a handgun.
  • Pistol Mounted Optics: Leave the Iron Age behind. There is no longer any debate that a red dot makes for faster, more accurate shots over iron sights. Take your shooting to the next level with the course built specifically around this major advancement in firearm technology and learn to shoot and engage targets with a pistol-mounted red dot.
  • Basic Trauma Management: This course teaches students how to keep themselves and their team members alive and fighting in critical injury situations. Students will master basic lifesaving emergency medical skills using equipment available under field conditions. Training scenarios presented also include basic weapon manipulation and live fire while simulating high-risk situations.

In this episode, Evan and Austin discuss the research and implementation of our new suppressor sound testing standard. This testing method is intended to equip consumers with dosing data on Griffin suppressors, as well as other popular / renowned models in the suppressor space.
In the past, the standard has been to only show PEAK impulse decibel data. Our newly adopted testing method continues to show peak decibel data, as that is the loudest part of the waveform, but also shows more details that will be of interest to consumers seeking information for years to come.

Testing Data included :

  • Peak dB sound pressure level reading
  • LAeq A-weighted Equivalent Continuous Sound Pressure Level (average A weighted dB sound pressure for the waveform over the defined time in milliseconds)

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Vortex® is proud to announce another exciting addition to the incredible optical experience and versatility of its Strike Eagle® line. Designed for gun enthusiasts and competitive shooters operating in dynamic shooting scenarios, the Strike Eagle® 3-18×44 FFP riflescope (MSRP: $849.99) closes the gap between tactical mid- and long-range shooting.
This feature-packed, first focal plane riflescope delivers rugged construction, a sophisticated reticle, and superior optical quality so you can send rounds anywhere downrange with maximum speed and precision.
Cut from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, the Strike Eagle® 3-18×44 FFP’s robust 34mm tube accommodates massive amounts of elevation and windage travel. Pair with the NEW Vortex® 34mm Pro Riflescope Rings — available in Medium 1.10” height (MSRP: $119.99) — and you have a rock-solid, ultra-precise mounting system complete with torque specs laser-engraved on the rings so you’ll never forget.
The scope’s illuminated, EBR-7C reticle gets on target fast at any magnification or lighting situation, while the internal XD™ Optical System produces higher resolution and color fidelity for sharper images, near or far. Add in a throw lever for quicker target acquisition over a wide range of magnification, RevStop® Zero System to ensure a reliable return to zero, an exposed and locking elevation turret with a distinct tactile feel so you’ll never have to leave your sight picture to make an adjustment again.

VORTEX® UNVEILS THE MOUNTAIN PASS™ TRIPOD

January 5, 2023

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Handles large binoculars and spotting scopes. Purpose-built to help anyone make the most of their glassing game. Whether spotting distant targets at the gun range or searching for game miles from the truck, the new Mountain Pass™ Aluminum Tripod Kit delivers sturdy, smooth, and reliable operation you’d expect in a tripod that costs a lot more.
Capable of supporting a max load of 22 lbs., the machined-aluminum design delivers an excellent balance of strength, size, and durability. With a folded length of 19” and weighing just 3.1 lbs., it’s super packable. A minimum height of 9” and a max height of 56” also means it’s extremely versatile for glassing while standing, sitting, or lying prone.
When the view changes quickly, you need a tripod that can keep up. And the Mountain Pass™ delivers with fast, telescopic legs that adjust independently and lock with a quick flip of a lever. It also comes equipped with a 2-Way Pan Head that securely holds your optic via an Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release system.
Intuitive controls and full range of motion. Rubber feet for solid footing on slick surfaces and a built-in counterweight hook for even greater stability in windy conditions. The Mountain Pass™ Tripod Kit (MSRP: $224.99) also comes with a rubber packing strap and handy carry case.

Extar USA Releases Adjustable Receiver Extension Option

Posted on Friday, 6 January, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

EXTAR Logo

Lake Havasu, AZ (January 2023) Firearm innovator Extar USA continues to strive in American-made ways to keep shooting affordable and enjoyable. Since the release of the EP9 large-format pistol, consumers have asked for a receiver extension option when converting their large-format pistol to a short-barrel rifle (SBR).

The EP9’s unique design and proprietary features meant that while it shares the look and familiar controls of the AR-15, users didn’t yet have a way to mount one of the many great adjustable stocks already on the market for the AR-15. Further complicating the desire for an adjustable, AR-15-carbine-style receiver extension has been the BATFE threat of reclassifying certain safety devices such as stabilizing braces as only for those who are willing to pay a tax for their safety.

Now there is an option.

Extar Adjustable Receiver Extension

The EP Adjustable Receiver Extension is available for those who wish to convert their EP9 Pistol into a registered short-barreled rifle with an adjustable rifle stock. This direct replacement part gives you the ability to mount a wide range of stocks that are designed to fit on AR-15 Mil-Spec diameter receiver extensions.

Quickly and easily install this receiver extension with all tools necessary included! As a factory replacement part, this receiver extension comes with our recoil damper system already installed, so that you do not have to sacrifice the performance or safety of your firearm.

Features:

  • · Six adjustment points to help you find the right LOP for you.
  • · Fits most Mil-Spec diameter AR-15 adjustable stocks.
  • · Is compatible with SB-Tactical adjustable braces for AR-15 Mil-Spec sized receiver extensions(such braces may be subject to the NFA).
  • · Extar’s recoil damping system pre-installed.
  • · Installation tool included.
  • · Price: $49.95

As with all Extar USA products, pricing is kept to a minimum by selling direct to consumer. The Adjustable Receiver Extension is available at ExtarUSA.com

About Extar USA: Since 1995 the personnel behind Extar USA have been redefining possibilities in the firearms industry. Innovations such as the first rifle-caliber polymer receiver sets, the first Glock-type magazine last round bolt hold open for personal defense weapons, and advanced recoil absorbing technologies are Extar USA’s pedigree. Today Extar’s mission is to provide lightweight, fun, and reliable firearms at a price working Americans can afford.
