Light It Up with the HIT® Target Impact Indicator by Hornady®
![]()

Grand Island, NE (August 14, 2025) – Long-range shooting presents plenty of challenges, but confirming hits on target should not be one of them. Hornady® developed a simple, adaptable solution to provide positive verification for hits on steel targets at any range.
The Hornady HIT® Target Impact Indicator delivers immediate hit confirmation at extended ranges where impacts can be hard to spot. Featuring seventeen ultrabright LED lights, the HIT indicator produces an unmistakable flashing signal, visible even in the brightest daylight conditions.
Its highly sensitive internal accelerometer detects vibrations created by bullet strikes on steel plate targets. Upon bullet impact, the impact indicator LED lights flash Morse Code for H-I-T, providing clear and easy-to-identify confirmation of rounds on target.
The HIT Target Impact Indicator attaches easily to most target stands with the included mounting options. Designed to connect to the target stand and not the target itself, it stays clear of the direct impact zone to prevent potential damage.
This self-contained unit features a rechargeable battery and a Micro USB charging port, with no loose pieces or parts to misplace. Its simple, effective design allows shooters to move it quickly from target to target without tools or extra hardware.
When target impact verification is difficult, Hornady has the solution. Light it up with the HIT Target Impact Indicator.

NEW FOR 2025

Elite Insulated Pant
NOW AVAILABLE, TUO’s AMP Puffy Pant offers in-the-field warmth in a lightweight package.
MUSKEGON, Mich. (August 13, 2025) – A “cold sit” – we’ve all been there. You hoof through in the dark popping occasionally flashlight bursts at the reflective cat eyes marking your trail. You break a sweat going in, which turns into a dank chill once situated in the stand. The start of a long cold day in the woods…
Remedies for your torso are often considered, like not donning an insulated jacket or parka until in position. Same can’t be said for your legs, however, until packable insulated “puffy pants” like TUO’s new AMP Puffy Pant came onto the scene.
Storm
Deadfall
TUO’s AMP Puffy Pant was designed as a comfy mid-layer for the whitetail woods, cloaked with your favorite camo field pants. They’re equally as effective as an outer shell, too. The full leg zippers let you slip them on in the field if weather conditions collapse or for that long sit in the stand, serving as the ultimate insulated outer layer. As an outer shell, they’re ideal for hunters glassing for game in cold conditions before they traipse into the backcountry wearing rugged field pants and gaiters.
The AMP Puffy Pant’s easy on and off is a hallmark. “We designed the TUO AMP Puffy Pant with full leg zippers, so they can be simply slid over your field pants with your boots still on,” said TUO Marketing Director, Steve Allie.
TUO’s AMP Puffy Pant sports an intelligently insulated 2-layer design. The outer shell fabric is constructed of a blended nylon with woven ripstop, which is treated with a water repellent and offers UPF 50. The lining fabric is also composed of nylon ripstop and includes Polygiene StayFresh™ to help reduce odor from bacteria and OdorCrunch™ to capture and inhibit odors letting you wear more and wash less.



Between the layers, TUO’s AMP Puffy Pant factors in 60g of Paralite™ insulation. The lightweight and breathable insulation provides a higher fill power than similar weight polyester insulations, yielding a lighter and warmer garment with less bulk.
Function-wise, appreciate the pants’ elastic waistband with drawcord, two front hand pockets with invisible zippers, and center fly with invisible zipper. Additionally, the back bottom hem offers rib knitting for a form fit.
These aren’t the puffy pants that make you look like an astronaut bounding on the moon. Rather, TUO’s new AMP Puffy Pant is comfortable and stylish, while providing the lightweight warmth you’ll value in the field.

A recent study from Penn State University has revealed a surprising security concern: Millimeter-wave radar can pick up and transcribe private phone calls by sensing the tiny vibrations emitted through a cellphone’s earpiece.
According to the press release, In controlled experiments, researchers positioned a radar device roughly three meters from a phone during a call. The radar detected minute surface oscillations originating from the earpiece. This raw data was then processed using a lightly adapted version of the Whisper speech recognition model, retraining just 1% of its parameters to interpret radar-based vibrations. The result: about 60% transcription accuracy within a vocabulary of up to 10,000 words. While not flawless, even partial success—such as capturing keywords—poses meaningful privacy risks.
Back in 2022, the same team showed that radar could identify ten pre-selected words with up to 83% accuracy. The current work expands from keyword spotting to continuous speech, albeit with reduced accuracy due to the complexity and noisiness of radar signal processing.
Researchers liken the output to lip-reading: imperfect and incomplete, but often enough to piece together conversations when paired with context. That resemblance raises red flags for potential misuse, especially by sophisticated adversaries.
The experimental setup is for research purposes. However, the study underscores a growing concern: emerging technologies previously seen as harmless may be repurposed for surveillance.
The team behind the research stresses that its goal is not to enable eavesdropping, but to highlight potential risks before they are exploited. Future work may focus on developing protective countermeasures, such as passive acoustic dampening or active shielding, to safeguard sensitive conversations.
As wireless systems and AI continue to evolve, this study serves as a reminder: even the faintest vibrations from everyday devices can compromise privacy.
The research was published in Proceedings of WiSec 2025: 18th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks.

Hi Mountain Seasonings Celebrates National Bacon Lover’s Day: August 20th
RIVERTON, Wyo. (August 13, 2025) — National Bacon Lover’s Day is sizzling its way into kitchens across the country on Wednesday, August 20, and Hi Mountain Seasonings is inviting everyone to celebrate the crispy, smoky, and savory magic of bacon like never before.
National Bacon Lover’s Day is all about one thing—bacon. From bacon and eggs to bacon ranch dip, bacon-wrapped everything, and even chocolate-covered bacon, there’s no wrong way to enjoy this timeless treat. Whether cooking up breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, bacon made with Hi Mountain Seasonings can (and should) be part of the menu.
To help bacon fans elevate their favorite dishes, Hi Mountain Seasonings presents a tempting selection of three innovative Bacon Seasonings blends – Pineapple Sriracha, Sticky Bun, and Black Pepper Brown Sugar. The sweet, spicy, and savory flavors are game changers for any recipe. Simply sprinkle them on before cooking and enjoy the flavor transformation.
For the DIY foodie, Hi Mountain Seasonings makes homemade bacon simple and enjoyable with three tasty Bacon Cures: Original, Black Pepper Brown Sugar, and Buckboard Bacon. Whether using pork belly, Boston Butt, or pork loin, these cures make it easy to create your own artisan bacon at home.
“Bacon isn’t just a food – it’s an experience,” said Hans Hummel, owner and president of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “National Bacon Lover’s Day is a great reminder to have fun in the kitchen, share delicious meals, and discover how bacon can elevate your favorite dishes. With our seasonings and cures, we make it simple to bring out the best in bacon.”
Bacon has been loved for centuries. The phrase “bring home the bacon” dates back to 12th-century England, where a church offered a side of bacon to any man who went a year without arguing with his wife. By the 16th century, bacon had become a symbol of wealth and community – a food to be shared and enjoyed. That same spirit lives on today.
In 2023 alone, bacon generated $6.3 billion in sales in the U.S., proving its place as one of the most beloved foods in the nation. National Bacon Lover’s Day, first celebrated around 2015, has quickly become a favorite food holiday thanks to social media and the passionate bacon community.
This year, Hi Mountain Seasonings encourages bacon fans to elevate their bacon experience with Hi Mountain Seasonings and try bacon in every meal of the day. Whether a traditionalist or an experimental chef, there’s a Hi Mountain product to match your taste. Celebrate August 20 and every day with Hi Mountain Seasonings.

NSSF Celebrates Oklahoma’s Gov. Kevin Stitt Signing FIND Act into Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, celebrated Oklahoma’s Gov. Kevin Stitt signing SB 500, the NSSF-priority Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act, yesterday in Oklahoma City. The law prohibits state agencies and local government entities from entering into contracts with corporations that discriminate against the firearm industry.
Gov. Stitt made firearm industry protections a priority and promised attendees at NSSF’s SHOT Show® Governors Forum that he would sign the bill into law if it made it to his desk. Yesterday, Gov. Stitt delivered on that promise in a formal ceremony of bringing protections against financial discrimination for firearm-related businesses in his state. The signing ceremony comes on the heels of President Donald Trump issuing the NSSF-supported Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans Executive Order to ban “woke” debanking that targeted the firearm industry.
“With his signature, Governor Stitt made clear it is the government’s responsibility to protect the firearm industry from sinister corporate efforts to starve it of essential services such as banking, payment processing, software and insurance. He appreciates our unique status as the only constitutionally-protected industry in America,” said Darren LaSorte, Director of Government Relations – State Affairs. “The governor embraces the fact that we must thrive for his constituents in the Sooner State to exercise a fundamental right. Governor Stitt has also protected the state’s taxpayers from being compelled to enrich the large, ‘woke’ companies actively seeking to diminish their right to keep and bear arms. NSSF sincerely thanks state Senator Casey Murdock and state Representative Kevin West, the bill’s sponsors, for seeing this years-long battle through to the finish.”
“Our Second Amendment rights are a cornerstone of the well-being of our republic. I was proud to sign SB 500 into law, because Oklahoma will always defend the right to bear arms,” said Gov. Stitt. “I’m grateful for groups like the National Shooting Sports Foundation for their work to defend this right.”
Oklahoma’s FIND Act requires all large corporations seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or greater with the state and its municipalities to certify that they hold no discriminatory policies against firearm industry businesses. Contracts that are certified and later discovered to be out of compliance with the law will be subject to cancellation.
Gov. Stitt has made growing and protecting the firearm industry a priority in Oklahoma. Just this year, Vudoo Gun Works announced it will relocate operations to Prague, Oklahoma, from Utah and Oklahoma’s Department of Commerce announced in May that CBC Global Ammunition is bringing ammunition manufacturing to the state, an investment of $300 million and 350 jobs.
Oklahoma is the 11th state to enact FIND Act laws to prevent corporate discrimination. Others include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. Similar legislation, also titled the FIND Act, was introduced in Congress by U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) as H.R. 45 and by U.S. Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) as S. 137.

Charlotte Campaign Targets Illegal Gun Purchases

NSSF, ATF, DOJ Emphasize ‘Don’t Lie for the Other Guy™
CHARLOTTE — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, together with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), announced a month-long public education campaign reminding the Charlotte, North Carolina, area public about stiff penalties facing individuals convicted of unlawful firearm purchases. The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” campaign is in its 25th year and drives home the message that anyone making an illegal firearm purchase faces a federal felony penalty of up to 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. The program is funded in full by the firearm industry and is now also complemented by federal funding allocated to ATF by Congress. Charlotte was chosen for this specific campaign by ATF.
“The firearm industry has always been fully committed to keeping firearms out of the hands of those who should not possess them. In its twenty-fifth year, we are especially proud to launch this Don’t Lie for the Other Guy public awareness campaign in Charlotte as part of our cooperative relationship with the ATF, the DOJ and the entire law enforcement community to assist them in their efforts to reduce criminal acquisition of firearms and to keep communities safe,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi.
The Charlotte-area “Don’t Lie” campaign will total more than 35.5 million gross media impressions. This includes an outdoor campaign running on 20 high-impact billboards along all major roadways, as well as 30 roadside display posters throughout the region with the message: “Buy a gun for someone who can’t and buy yourself 15 years in jail. Don’t Lie for the Other Guy.” In addition, the campaign will include more than 850 radio spots on four of the top FM stations in the market, as well as 4.313 million targeted impressions across Facebook, Instagram and mobile display.
To legally purchase a firearm, a person must pass an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System verification, or NICS background check, and fully comply with all state and local laws. When a criminal is illegally trafficking in firearms or knows they cannot pass this check, they may try to induce a friend or acquaintance to make the purchase for them. This is a straw purchase and is a felony.
The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” program also involves educating firearm retailers to better detect and prevent straw purchases by providing “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” retailer kits containing a training video and information for storeowners and staff, as well as point-of-purchase displays aimed to deter illegal straw purchasers.

The Rise of Big-Bore Hunting: Why More Hunters Are Choosing Larger Calibers![]()
Written by Ashley Burgess Gall, Laura Burgess Marketing, on behalf of Big Horn Armory
In recent years, a noticeable shift has been taking place across the hunting and backcountry communities—one that’s hard to ignore. More and more hunters are trading in their light, flat-shooting cartridges for something bigger, bolder, and undeniably more powerful. Big-bore hunting is on the rise.
But this isn’t just about chasing more recoil or bragging rights at deer camp. The growing interest in big-bore calibers is rooted in practical needs, real-world performance, and a changing perspective on what’s truly necessary when venturing into the wild.
Big-Bore for the Big Game—and Bigger Consequences
Hunters across North America are facing environments that demand more from both the hunter and the rifle. Whether you’re trekking deep into grizzly country, calling elk in the timber, or protecting yourself from the unexpected, big-bore calibers offer something that lighter rounds simply can’t: immediate and unmistakable authority.
Calibers like the .500 S&W Magnum, .460 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull, .475 Linebaugh, and .500 Linebaugh were once seen as specialty rounds, often relegated to revolvers or niche firearms. But in recent years, their utility in rifles has gained serious traction—and for good reasons. These heavy-hitting cartridges deliver tremendous energy on target, making them ideal for hunting large or dangerous game in dense cover where follow-up shots need to count.

About Big Horn Armory:![]()
Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

Beyond the Flame: The Plasma Lighter XRL from True Redefines Everyday Ignition
![]()

Fort Worth, TX (August 12, 2025) – In uncertain conditions, a reliable flame is more than a convenience; it’s peace of mind. Recognizing the limitations of traditional lighters and disposable fire-starting tools, True introduces the Plasma Lighter XRL, a next-generation ignition device designed for real-world readiness. With field-tested features that perform under pressure, the XRL eliminates flame failure and fuel waste while delivering rugged, rechargeable performance, whether lighting a grill during a summer shower or navigating a dark trail deep in the backcountry.
The XRL builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, the XR, by adding a powerful integrated flashlight system to its already impressive feature set. Its ignition mechanism utilizes a dual-arc plasma design, featuring four electrodes to generate a more intense and reliable ignition field. This configuration lights materials faster and from more angles than single-arc competitors, all without relying on a traditional flame. The flexible, extended neck allows users to safely ignite hard-to-reach places, such as deep candle holders, barbecue burners, and camp stoves, while keeping their hands away from the ignition point. Windproof up to 80 miles per hour, the plasma arc is impervious to the conditions that typically render fuel-based lighters useless.
![]()

Encased in a durable ABS plastic housing, the Plasma Lighter XRL boasts a water-resistant design, achieving an IPX6 rating, which provides a reliable edge even in rainy or wet environments. Designed for longevity, the XRL contains a 250mAh lithium-ion battery that recharges via USB-C in approximately an hour and offers over 100 ignitions per charge; the equivalent of a box of matches, but infinitely more sustainable. A power/charge indicator displays remaining energy at a glance, and the protective locking cover ensures the lighter is safe to pack, store, or carry in your gear bag or glove box.
In addition to ignition, the XRL includes an integrated three-mode LED flashlight built directly into its frame. Capable of emitting up to 55 lumens on high for one hour, 35 lumens on low for two hours, or functioning in strobe mode for emergency signaling, this added feature makes the XRL a dual-purpose tool ideal for camping, roadside emergencies, power outages, or any low-light scenario where visibility and fire starting might go hand in hand.
The Plasma Lighter XRL represents a clean break from disposable lighters, fossil fuel dependence, and short-lived fire tools. It’s flameless, fuel-free, eco-conscious, and designed for real utility, not novelty. Each unit includes a USB-C charging cable and removable lanyard, and is backed by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Whether tucked in a survival kit, clipped to a backpack, or resting in a kitchen drawer, the XRL delivers reliability where it counts. In every way that matters, durability, efficiency, safety, and sustainability, this is a lighter built for the world we live in now.

Big Bore, Big Impact: Hatsan’s Hard-Hitting Airguns Lead the Charge in Power and Precision
![]()
Rogers, AR (August 12, 2025) – For airgun enthusiasts seeking serious power, precision engineering, and real-world versatility, Hatsan delivers. The Turkish manufacturer has built a reputation for producing some of the most robust and high-performance airguns on the market. In this big-bore hunting airguns roundup, Hatsan spotlights three models that rise above the rest: the Piledriver, BT65SB QE, and MOD 130S Vortex QE. These rifles offer a potent combination of long-range accuracy, devastating muzzle energy, and practical features that make them equally at home in the hunting blind or on the shooting bench.

Piledriver
The Piledriver is at the top of the lineup, a heavyweight in the PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) world that genuinely lives up to its name. Available in .45, .50, and .62 calibers, this manual-loading bullpup is Hatsan’s most powerful air rifle—capable of producing up to 800+ foot-pounds of muzzle energy in the .50 caliber variant. Designed for hunters after large and challenging game, the Piledriver turns air power into serious stopping power. The long cocking lever and precision-rifled steel barrel support smooth operation and extreme accuracy at distance, while the 480cc carbon fiber cylinder, filled to 300 BAR, provides up to six full-power, hard-hitting shots per charge.
Built around a genuine bullpup layout, the Piledriver offers compact maneuverability without sacrificing barrel length or energy output. Its ergonomic synthetic thumbhole stock, locking elevation-adjustable cheek rest, and elevation/angle-adjustable soft butt pad make it highly customizable for shooter comfort and control. With a combo 22mm and 11mm dovetail rail system for optics, and three Picatinny accessory rails mounted directly on the air cylinder, the Piledriver is a true apex predator platform—ready for glass, bipods, or lights straight from the box.
View the Piledriver’s full features and specs here.

BT65SB QE
Next in the roundup is the BT65SB QE, a PCP repeater that blends raw performance with practical sophistication. Offered in .177, .22, and .25 calibers, this model is ideal for hunters who want multiple shots per fill and quieter operation. The QuietEnergy barrel technology, fully shrouded with an integrated sound moderator, drastically reduces report, making it a field-friendly option that won’t spook game. Its German steel barrel, anti-double-feed system, and Quattro 2-stage adjustable trigger make it an excellent choice for target shooters, offering the precision and responsiveness needed to compete.
The BT65SB QE stands out for its thoughtful ergonomics. A soft-touch synthetic stock with vertical adjustability in both the comb and butt pad allows for a perfect cheek weld and recoil management. With a 255cc air cylinder delivering up to 40 shots per fill, depending on the caliber, and Hatsan’s anti-knock system that prevents accidental air loss, this rifle is built to be both efficient and accurate. It’s also a flexible optics-ready platform, thanks to its dual 11mm and 22mm integrated scope rails and Picatinny fore-end rail for mounting accessories.
View the BT65SB QE’s full features and specs here.

MOD 130S Vortex QE
Hatsan’s MOD 130S Vortex QE delivers big-bore punch in a .30 caliber gas piston platform for those who prefer the simplicity and independence of a springless break-barrel system. Capable of generating 34 foot-pounds of energy, this rifle is built for mid-sized game hunting, backyard pest control, and powerful target shooting—all without the need for air tanks or compressors. It uses Hatsan’s Vortex gas piston powerplant paired with their QuietEnergy shrouded barrel to produce quieter shots with smoother cocking and reduced vibration compared to traditional springers.
The MOD 130S has premium features typically reserved for higher-end PCPs, including an adjustable Monte Carlo cheekpiece, SAS (shock absorber system), TrioPad recoil pad, and Hatsan’s well-known Quattro 2-stage trigger with a metal blade. It’s a break-barrel you can truly dial in. The ambidextrous all-weather stock, micro-adjustable fiber optic sights, and optional 3-9x40mm Optima scope make it a ready-to-go solution. At 9.4 lbs, it strikes a balance between heft and recoil-dampening benefits to enhance stability while shooting.
View the MOD 130S’s full features and specs here.
Whether an experienced hunter needing game-stopping power, a precision marksman seeking consistency, or an airgun enthusiast that bridges performance and practicality, Hatsan’s big bore lineup offers a tool for every task. The Piledriver is the brute-force contender for serious game, the BT65SB QE shines with balance and versatility, and the MOD 130S provides spring-powered simplicity with surprising power. Together, these models represent Hatsan’s commitment to producing innovative, reliable, high-impact airguns. Whether in the field, at the range, or deep in the woods, Hatsan equips users with the confidence to take the shot and make it count.
