Blackhawk® Athlete Zach Rodman Takes First at Utah Tactical Games
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – March 17, 2022 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, congratulates tactical athlete Zach Rodman on his first-place finish in the Men’s Elite Division of the Tactical Games Utah. The two-day competition, which hosted close to 200 competitors, took place March 12-13 at the Southern Utah Practical Shooting Range in Washington, Utah.
Rodman, a 15-year veteran of the Kokomo, Indiana, police force and SWAT team, utilized Blackhawk’s T-Series holster and new Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear, including plate carrier, belt, and pouches throughout the competition.
“Zach is off to a great start this season, placing 6th at the Meridian event and then following it up with a fantastic first place finish in Utah,” said Courtney Tiziani, brand marketing manager for Blackhawk. “The Men’s Elite Division is arguably the toughest classification in the Tactical Games, and it’s been no surprise to see Zach and his gear performing at an optimal level.”
Two pieces of kit that have been cornerstones to Zach’s gear list are the Blackhawk T-Series holster and Foundation Series Tac Nylon. Blackhawk’s T-Series holsters with leg straps are optimally designed to maintain proper holster position and security as competitors navigate unconventional obstacles throughout the Tactical Games. Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear gives competitors some of the lightest weight gear in its class without sacrificing durability or modularity, which is critical to maintaining speed and endurance while wearing heavy plate carriers.
Rodman’s next competition will be June 25 – 26 at the Tactical Games Ohio. The season finale will take place November 5 – 6 at the Tactical Games National Championship at Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, Texas.
Watch this video to learn more about how Rodman utilizes Blackhawk’s Foundation Series plate carrier throughout the Tactical Games.
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.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – March 17, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, along with RCBS and Hoppe’s, is celebrating pro shooter Melissa Gilliland’s strong finish at the 2022 Accuracy International Long Range Classic. At this year’s PRS match, Gilliland was named the Top Lady and placed 4th overall at the annual competition held at Altus Shooting Solutions in Baker, Florida.
Pushing through a challenging course of fire, cold temperatures and high winds, Gilliland’s performance kept her among the top scores throughout the two-day match. During this year’s competition, Gilliland used the new Bushnell Elite Tactical DMR3 scope with G4P reticle. She also relied on RCBS reloading equipment and Hoppe’s cleaning products to give her the best possible chance of success.
“Even with the high winds and frigid temperatures, this year’s match was an absolute blast,” said Gilliland. “I was beyond excited to walk away with a 4th place overall finish and the Top Lady award against a talented field of competitors. My gear ran great from start to finish and the new Elite Tactical DMR3 continues to impress with its outstanding glass clarity and generous eyebox. Hats off to all the competitors, ROs and match staff. I can’t wait to be back next year.”
The new Elite Tactical DMR3 riflescope builds upon a proven platform with an all-new floating dot reticle, multi-position Throwhammer™ magnification lever, a 25-yard parallax and bold turret markings. The 3.5-21x50mm riflescope is standard with ED Prime glass, fully multicoated elements and Bushnell’s superior EXO Barrier™ protection.

MADISON, GA (March 17, 2022) – Instantly identifiable by the bright red fin on the stem, Redfin Polarized sunglasses frames are known for light-weight, comfortable and stylish design. Redfin frames are handcrafted in Italy from marine-grade polymers in a range of popular shapes so that every face can enjoy comfort and protection from UV rays.
There’s a Redfin frame for everyone. The Amelia offers a modern update to the classic wrap frame with peripheral protection from the sun, wind, and water. The Tybee has a classic look with ear stems that fit comfortably under a cap. The Sanibel and Big Ship are made for larger wearers. The Jekyll offers a sleek, narrow profile but is still comfortable on a wider face. Wrap design and a shallow ear-stem curve characterize the Outer Banks, while the modern Hatteras features nearly straight stems and a flatter front. The wide-sided Wassaw wraps your eyes for maximum comfort with a dash of style.
The Redfin Off Shore collection fights glare and eye strain with tints built on a dark gray base lens. Lake Shore lenses offer optimal clarity for spotting fish in murky waters, and the Fly Tyer series assures maximum visible light transmission (VLT) on rivers and streams.
All Redfin Polarized frames feature dependable stainless-steel hinges and soft but grippy Megol nose pads to prevent slipping. The lenses of Redfin Polarized sunglasses are made by Carl Zeiss Vision and offer 100% protection from harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC light. Ultra-light and ultra-clear, these lenses are built to last with a super-hard anti-scratch coating and resist fogging, oil, water, dust and dirt. They’re perfect for fishing, golfing, driving or just relaxing at the beach.
Colors include classic black and gray matte, along with elegant tortoise patterns. All Redfin Polarized sunglasses come with a zipper case, microfiber pouch, Redfin decal and Zeiss wipes.

Litchi pilots, we know you have been waiting for this! We are happy to announce that the Mini 2 and Mini SE are now fully supported in Litchi for iOS 2.12.
Flying an Air 2S? Be sure to update to the recently released Air 2S firmware v02.04.21.50 in which DJI fixed the issue where the gimbal’s position is not reported in Litchi. This update means the Air 2S is now fully supported in Litchi for Android 4.21.3.
We have also added support for the Air 2S in Litchi for iOS 2.12, however be aware that currently you can only do one autonomous or semi-autonomous flight per launch of Litchi on iOS. After that flight, a restart of Litchi is required in order to start a new one. This is caused by a bug in the DJI iOS SDK which we have reported to DJI and hope they will fix soon.

FN ANNOUNCES SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FN 502 TACTICAL
(McLean, VA – March 17, 2022) FN America, LLC announces a safety recall for the FN 502 Tactical .22LR pistol, which was previously the subject of FN’s January 27, 2022 safety bulletin. The original concern involved a missing manual safety lock lever in a small number of FN 502 Tactical pistols that would allow the discharge of the pistol when the trigger is pulled with the manual safety in the SAFE position. While investigating this issue with Umarex, the supplier of the FN 502 Tactical, we encountered a separate concern with proper installation of the manual safety lock lever. Consequently, if forced by multiple pulls of the trigger in succession, or if the pistol is jarred, an unintended firing may happen when the manual safety is in the SAFE position.
Because the safety of our customers is our primary concern, FN is voluntarily issuing a recall to address this newly discovered issue involving the safety and advising all owners of the FN 502 Tactical with a serial number lower than LR010300 to suspend use of their pistol and return the pistol to FN for repair or replacement in accordance with the recall instructions.
For more information, please see the FN 502 Tactical safety recall at fnamerica.com/customer-support/fn-502-safety-recall/. For assistance in returning a firearm, please contact FN Support at 502Recall@fnamerica.com or call 1-800-635-1321, ext. 144, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

March 22-24, 2022: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. will be showcasing new satellite capabilities at Satellite 2022. This marks the first time Rafael is participating in Satellite 2022 and will be showcasing new technologies and capabilities in the Washington, D.C. based space exhibition.
Throughout the exhibition Rafael will be displaying the LiteSatTM HR2C (Very High Resolution & High Revisit Constellation) which features unique capabilities in the global space market. The LiteSat HR2C is specifically designed to enable the effective deployment of a large constellation with true high revisit capabilities. With almost UAV-like potential from space, it can complete highly demanding tactical missions that require revisit rates of less than 10 minutes. It is the first end-to-end space Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) platform designed from the ground up to provide military-grade, very high resolution, high revisit, and multi-sensor capabilities. LiteSat HR2C provides 30 cm resolution through an Electro-Optical payload fused with a Synthetic-aperture Radar (SAR) payload (in the same satellite). These unique capabilities function in a highly performance-to-cost effective package that enables deployment of a large constellation in order to achieve unprecedented high persistence tactical mission capabilities.
LiteSat’s payloads are based on Rafael’s extensively proven, industry-leading electro-optical capabilities which are demonstrated in the world’s most widely-used targeting pod, Litening, and the RecceLite reconnaissance pod. Imagery from LiteSat is then accessed, processed, and fused by the multi-mission, multi-management ImiLite Ground Exploitation System; An Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning based Exploitation Center, the ImiLite GES will also be displayed at the exhibition in Washington, D.C.

Bushnell Pro Troy Livesay Takes First Place at Accuracy Indiana Shoot with Elite Tactical XRS3 Riflescope
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – March 16, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, congratulates Elite Tactical pro shooter Troy Livesay on his first-place finish at the Accuracy Indiana Long Range Precision Rifle Shoot. Livesay claimed the top spot at the 1-mile match in Newberry, Indiana, for a second year in a row using the new Bushnell Elite Tactical XRS3 riflescope.
This year’s Accuracy Indiana Long Range Precision Rifle Shoot consisted of 11 stages with targets ranging from 268 to 1,760 yards (one mile). Throughout the match, shifting winds and difficult target arrays challenged competitors on each stage. Despite the tough match conditions, Livesay was able to stay one-step ahead of the other 94 competitors to claim the top overall spot. Livesay’s first place finish matched his performance from 2021, giving him back-to-back titles at the annual competition.
“Shooting long range field-style matches has always been my favorite,” Livesay said. “These types of matches force you to make good wind calls and the unpredictable environment keeps everyone on their toes. This was also my first match behind the XRS3, and it was a critical piece of coming out on top in some challenging conditions. I couldn’t be happier with clarity of the glass or its consistent tracking. The new G4P reticle gave me everything I needed and more. I can’t wait to keep shooting with it.”
The new Elite Tactical XRS3 6-36×56 riflescope used by Livesay features the most advanced Elite Tactical optical system ever. The XRS3 comes with a high magnification ED Prime objective, as well as fully multi-coated elements, EXO Barrier™ protection, and an all-new proprietary floating dot reticle. Other updates on the XRS3 include a multi-position throw hammer, bold turret markings plus an enlarged eyebox for faster target acquisition.

SnapSafe® Trunk Safe II – Stores & Secures Valuables Out of Sight


![]()

![]()
Grand Island, NE (March 16, 2022) – One sure-fire way of triggering a vehicle break-in is to leave valuables in plain sight. SnapSafe’s Trunk Safe II is a simple and effective security solution to this everyday problem. The safe offers plenty of room for hiding and securing tools, firearms, electronics, documents and other valuables, deterring common thieves.
Heavy-duty is an understatement for the Trunk Safe II. Its 13-gauge exterior and robust 6-gauge steel door protect the safe’s contents while the door recesses into the frame – its eight interior locking lugs prevent prying around its perimeter. Internal hinges and premium gas shocks ensure smooth operation. It weighs 69 pounds and strikes the perfect balance between heft and portability – heavy enough to prevent an opportunistic grab-and-go but light enough for easy loading into the vehicle.
The Trunk Safe II includes a 3-foot cable for anchoring to a stationary object for added security. Four pre-drilled holes on the bottom panel enable permanent installation. A padded bottom liner protects the safe’s contents.
It measures 42-inches wide, 7-inches high and 13-inches deep, creating more than 3700 cubic inches of storage space! These dimensions fit the back of an SUV, car trunk or RV and equally well at home. For ease of moving, there are integrated d-handles on the end panels.
A programmable digital lock allows quick entry with a 3-to-8-digit access code. And a key ensures a backup opening method in the case of a low battery.
The SnapSafe Trunk Safe II is the perfect in-vehicle security solution.

The XS R3D Night Sight offers a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture with a notch that is 15% wider than the front sight. This design allows more visible light around the front sight, resulting in faster and more accurate target acquisition. Available with a bright Orange front sight, made of XS’ Ember Glow Dot technology and a tritium center for dual illumination, the R3D sight is easy to see in changing light conditions and when shooting on the move.
“Demand has been high for suppressor-height sights for the HK VP9 OR, and XS is pleased to be the first to introduce aftermarket night sights for this popular pistol,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “In addition to the R3D, we also offer a suppressor-height Minimalist Night Sight for the HK VP9 OR. This sight has a traditional notch and post sight picture, serrated non-tritium rear, and Glow Dot tritium front sight.”

Henry Repeating Arms Donation Raises Over $40,000 for Indiana Girl’s Cancer Treatments
RICE LAKE, WI, Mar. 15, 2022 – Henry Repeating Arms, the country’s leading lever action firearm manufacturer, is pleased to announce that its donation of 55 custom rifles raised a total of $40,660 for 4-year-old Milah Schevenius of Decatur, Indiana. The funds will provide financial assistance for the medical expenses incurred throughout Milah’s kidney cancer treatments, including several surgeries and 42 weeks of chemo and radiation. Milah was diagnosed with bilateral Wilms’ Tumor, a rare occurrence affecting only 6% of Wilms’ tumor patients.
The “Miss Milah’s Miracle” campaign is the latest fundraising effort of Henry’s Guns For Great Causes program, a charitable branch of the company that focuses on providing support for sick children, children’s hospitals, military veterans organizations, and other non-profit groups. Each rifle in the limited-edition series features a colorful, childlike design unique to Milah’s personality engraved and hand-painted on the walnut buttstocks. All of the rifles sold out within 3 hours of the initial release announcement. In addition, the online auctions for the first and last serial numbers in the limited series ended at $5,850 and $4,600, respectively.
“I am in shock; this is just still so surreal,” said Keyara Schevenius, Milah’s mother, after learning how fast the rifles sold out. “I would never have imagined how big this would get when we first heard about what Henry was doing for Milah…our little girl is so loved!”
Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, says, “We are so grateful to everyone that chooses to support Guns For Great Causes, from those who purchase a rifle to partners like Baron Engraving that donate their time and services.” Imperato continues, “To Milah and her family, I wish you continued strength and blessings on the road to remission. Sending you a big hug!”
All firearm purchases must be shipped to a federally licensed firearms dealer. For more information about Henry Repeating Arms and its products, visit henryusa.com or call 866-200-2354

Beretta Holding Agrees to Acquisition of RUAG Ammotec
New Group Will Have Over 50 Subsidiaries and $1.5 Billion in Revenues
Beretta Holding announced on 9 March it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of RUAG Ammotec. The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial terms of the transaction, completion of which will be subject to normal regulatory approval and closing conditions and which is expected to be completed within six months.
“This is a very special moment in the history of our Group. We warmly welcome the more than 2,700 employees of RUAG Ammotec to our Group, having worked almost three years on this project,” stated Pietro Gussalli Beretta, President and CEO of Beretta Holding. During that period, there has been clear recognition of the excellent cultural fit between the two organisations, and that RUAG Ammotec has a strong, experienced and competent management team in place. “We have the firearms and the optics, RUAG Ammotec has the ammo – there is almost no overlap, explained Beretta”.
There are also strong synergies in R&D and distribution, which will lead to strengthening the enlarged group’s European business and further develop its global footprint. “This new addition to our group will add a substantial number of high-end brands to our existing portfolio of premium brands,” Beretta added. As requested by the Swiss government, Beretta commits to maintaining the existing locations and has specifically agreed to maintaining 400 jobs at the Thun facility for at least five years, according to a RUAG statement.
From a RUAG International perspective, the sale of the Ammotec division fits perfectly with its evolving strategy of becoming an agile technology provider with a focus on space. “We are taking the next step to withdraw from the defence-related business completely. We are pleased to have found a renowned industrial partner for Ammotec in Beretta, who will take over all employees and the Thun site. With its industry experience and global presence, Beretta offers the best conditions to sustainably grow Ammotec’s business activities for the benefit of customers and employees,” explained André Wall, RUAG International CEO.
Beretta has been family-owned for nearly 500 years – since Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta was commissioned to provide arquebus barrels for the Venice Arsenal in 1526. Post acquisition, Beretta Holding Group will encompass some 6,000 employees and will have revenues of approx. €1.5 billion. It will add five manufacturing sites and 16 new companies in 12 countries, meaning there will be over 50 subsidiaries worldwide.

In addition to the ambi safety found on the EVO 3, the Scorpion 3+ includes an ambidextrous bolt catch allowing for the user to operate it left or right-handed. The new AR-style mag release is accessible on both sides. The operation of the 3+ is now super intuitive – essential in high-stress situations!
The new ergonomic grip design makes it a more comfortable shooting experience for the user. The M-LOK® handguard is now upgraded from aluminum to polymer to reduce heat transfer.
A slimmed-down upper receiver accommodates more options when attaching different accessories to replace the end cap. A redesigned magwell is resized, adding more purchase on the handguard for large or gloved hands. The adjustable four aperture aluminum sights are updated to deliver lower 1/3 co-witness with popular red dots, providing a better sight picture and reliable backup.
CZ added recessed texture to the magazine for positive purchase during reloads. Users will also notice a locking window on the mag body that accommodates the new AR-style mag release. New Scorpion 3+ magazines are also compatible with previous generations of the Scorpion.
The micro features a 4.2-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and comes equipped with a removable flash can. The micro is an extremely compact pistol for maneuverability in tight quarters. The newly redesigned Scorpion 3+ pistols build on the success of the original’s proven features with enhancements throughout the gun.

HUNTING DEDICATED THERMAL OPTIC – RICO ALPHA – NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH iRAYUSA
Fort Worth, TX (March 14, 2022) – iRayUSA, a Texas-based designer, manufacturer and distributor of premium thermal night vision devices is proud to announce the availability of the new pack-leader in the thermal riflescope market, the RICO ALPHA. The ALPHA is the culmination of decades of user feedback, research and development, and American engineering all embedded in a hunting dedicated thermal weapons sight. From the initial concept, design, and assembly, every step of the process was completed by hunters and engineers in Texas.
RICO ALPHA can be paired with any commonly used hunting firearm platform but was specifically designed to accommodate the large majority of American night hunters who utilize the AR platform. The ALPHA’s ideally located and recessed 6-pin Autoloading Guarded Connector was specifically designed to prevent damage when using a slung weapon. Additionally, the magnetic properties of the charging port and design of the mating cables allow for an automatic connection when ALPHA is installed on a rifle.
Adjusting the sight picture of the ALPHA was made to be both fast and simple, with its design based on feedback from the field. The ambidextrous Single Finger Focus lever is easy to use and allows for adjustments to be made in no light conditions using only a single finger of a gloved hand. Once focus is correctly adjusted, the powerful 50Hz 12 um sensor and MATRIX III image processor provide the ALPHA’s HD display the highest level of clarity on the commercial market.
“The concept of ALPHA was the idea that started it all for iRayUSA,” stated Angelo Brewer, Director of Operations, iRayUSA. “The ALPHA was the product we wanted as hunters and was designed based on decades of use in the field.” continued Brewer.
The RICO ALPHA will begin shipping to dealers in April and has a suggested retail price of $6999. As with all iRayUSA products, the RICO ALPHA comes with a 5-year warranty, with a 1-week turnaround process. A full list of ALPHA specifications and an authorized dealer locator can be found on the iRayUSA website, www.irayusa.com.
5-Year Warranty with 1-Week Turnaround Process
At iRayUSA we are first and foremost hunters and users of our products, and we understand that failure is not an option. One of our primary objectives at iRayUSA is to greatly improve the customer service level for the end user. We accomplish this through offering our industry-first 1-week repair guarantee, and by only working with highly qualified Authorized Dealers.

Galco’s Concealable 2.0 Holster!
Phoenix, March 2022
Galco’s Concealable™ 2.0 is a thoroughly modern version of the strongside belt holster!
Building on over four decades of success with the original Concealable, the 2.0 version is updated for 21st century gun carriers. Cut low at the front, the new design accommodates most popular carry-style red dot optics. The raised sweat guard protects the wearer’s body from the pistol, and the pistol from the body’s natural perspiration. A mild butt-forward cant offers an easy draw from behind the dominant-side hip while also enhancing concealment with larger defensive pistols.
The Concealable 2.0’s unique two-piece construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, keeping all the molding on the front of the holster, allowing for significantly more comfortable carry and a narrower profile than an ordinary pancake type holster. (For an expanded discussion on forward molding versus the traditional pancake design, please see our FAQ.)
Hand-molded to fit specific handguns, the Concealable 2.0 features a deeply hand-molded exterior for excellent retention properties and superior appearance, firing grip accessibility for speed, and double-stitched seams for long-lasting durability.
Currently available for 1911s, Glocks and SIGs with or without red dot sights, it’s constructed of premium steerhide in black or tan, and made to fit belts up to 1 1/2″.

Brownells Announces Mag Dump for Washington State
GRINNELL, Iowa (March 14, 2022) -– In response to the standard-capacity magazine ban passed in Washington state, Brownells will donate $2.00 to the Washington-based Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) for every aluminum Brownells AR-15 magazine sold. SAF is currently planning to file a lawsuit against the state of Washington on behalf of gun owners in the state.
The Brownells Mag Dump donation event lasts through June 24 and has two main goals.
The first is to help Washington state gun owners procure reliable, proven, standard-capacity magazines for their AR-15 style firearms – before the ban goes into effect – to help guarantee their ability to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights and freedoms.
The second is to supply cash to the Second Amendment Foundation that will be earmarked to help fund a lawsuit to be filed against the ban on all magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
“Brownells provides the products Americans need to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights and freedoms,” said Brownells Chairman of the Board Pete Brownell. “We’re proud to partner with groups like the Second Amendment Foundation to help fight for those rights and freedoms.”
The Brownells magazines eligible for the $2 donation include the following:
#078-000-454 grey aluminum magazine $14.99 retail
#078-000-595 10-pak grey aluminum magazine $149.99 retail
#430-100-777 20-pak grey aluminum magazine $243.08 retail

Charleston, SC (Mar 14, 2022) – Extra calls? Check. Ammo? Check. Gloves, mask, water bottle, maybe a lightweight decoy? Check. When turkey season rolls around each spring, having all the gear needed for a successful hunt is a cinch with the NOMAD Bull Lounger turkey vest.
The new Bull Lounger is an outstanding option for hunters who want a tough, lightweight vest that handles anything. Whether it’s in the early season before full greenup or the last day when the woods are thick with humidity, the vest handles any condition with plenty of storage and comfort.
The Bull Lounger features an aluminum frame back design that allows hunters to sit upright and rigid without needing a tree to lean against while seated. The removable, high-density foam seat cushion has magnet attachments and an adjustment handle. Whether the hunt lasts 20 minutes or two hours, the seat will be comfortable from start to finish. It also has an external pocket to hold a ThermaCELL repellent unit.
The Bull Lounger has 14 points of adjustment for a “one size fits most” customization. It is designed with 28 general and specialized pockets for everything from diaphragm mouth calls and box calls to chalk pouches, a large rear game pouch. A ridged foam pocket protects friction calls while strikers have their own dual zippered pockets and specialized holders. The horizontal box call pocket has an adjustable buckle and is designed to be more easily accessible standing or sitting, instead of a vertical design that is tougher to access.
The rear game pouch is generous enough to hold a big gobbler for the walk back to the cabin or truck. It also has a water bottle pocket and three internal general organization pockets for gear, such as a folding foam decoy, pop-up blind or tail fan. The Bull Lounger vest is available in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland and NOMAD Exclusive Mossy Oak Shadow Leaf.

AG Composites Supports Oconto River Kids
OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala. (March 14, 2022) — AG Composites, a veteran-owned manufacturer of premium composite rifle stocks, has begun enthusiastically supporting Oconto River Kids (ORK), a Wisconsin-based non-profit volunteer charity group dedicated to providing hunting and fishing opportunities for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
“When AGC’s Matt Tandy asked how the company could help ORK, we advised of our need to set up one of our shooting systems with a shorter stock, one that would fit 12-year old Cain, a smaller-framed shooter who has been battling cancer for six years now,” said Brandon Baudhuin, Oconto River Kids Western Hunt Coordinator. “AG built, inletted, and sent that youth stock our way in short order. After a quick stock swap on our Bergara Premier Mountain 2.0, we had a rifle that was perfect for Cain. It was really that simple. The fit was perfect and Cain was soon shooting tiny little groups with it at the range — and later harvested a tremendous antelope and bull elk in the high desert of Wyoming. AG Composites was amazing with their monetary support of our mission and equipment support for this hunt of a lifetime.
“In the three years that Oconto River Kids has been operating in Wyoming, our youth hunters have harvested 20-plus big game animals, with about 60 percent of those using one of our AG Composites outfitted rifles. We cannot thank this veteran-owned company enough for their continued support.”
“Oconto River Kids is the kind of organization that our company believes in,” said Matt Tandy, AG Composites owner. “These young people have been dealt a tough hand, and any way we can help make their lives better is something we enthusiastically support.”
Oconto River Kids began in 2012 with a landowner who envisioned a local volunteer group providing hunting and fishing opportunities for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. He contacted the local DNR Conservation Officer, who shared a passion for mentoring young hunters. They immediately recognized the possibilities and identified other key individuals who shared their vision and passion. That group of individuals dedicated themselves to the idea and moved forward to create Oconto River Kids. The group continues to grow, but maintains its simple grass roots approach to providing unique hunting and fishing experiences for children with life threatening illnesses and their families. In 2014 Oconto River Kids reached a milestone when it was incorporated as a non-for-profit corporation in the State of Wisconsin and now operates as a Wisconsin charitable organization.
