CAN YOU SAY CLUSTER_F__K?

giphy (1)

It’s Friday and we are overdue for a shoot the shit. Between, COVID-19, Governor Cuomo and Afghanistan you must be looking forward to the colonization of Mars, as I am. But, look, there are things you can do to make yourself feel good in the midst of this massive cluster-fuck. I’ll begin by saying that the last thing you want to do is see a therapist. Remember that a therapist majored in psychology so they could understand themselves. The other thing you absolutely must do is not get your COVID information from social media and the media. Someone shared a social media video with me of some jackass advancing the theory that if you have gum disease you are 9 times more likely to succumb to the virus than someone with healthy gums. Get your COVID direction from your family doctor and no one else.

So, what should you do to get through these crazy times? Schedule a shoot the shit! A shoot the shit is a social event in which any topic can be discussed, participants don’t need to know anything about the subject, they are free to make any unsupported comment, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone the wish or change the subject altogether. The more participants the merrier, and having some eats for participants enhances the experience. A shoot the shit will also save you the $150 per hour that a therapist will cost you.

So let’s get started.

Mars habitat concept could be the safest way for humans to live there

Colonizing Mars has to be an amazing experience. I personally believe that space travel holds the key to our collective futures. So, the other day while sitting with a cup of coffee and a contraband Partagas cigar I found myself looking through online pictures of Mars’ surface..

When I saw the picture on the right, I thought man this spot would make a great rifle range. I reasoned that Mars’ atmosphere is not the same as Earth’s so I would need to develop a new dope book. I couldn’t rely on Kestrel until they release a Mars meter, so I researched the planet’s surface temperature, which is a –80 Fahrenheit, and its density altitude of 114,832 feet. With that information, I ran some ballistics calculations .

I wanted to see how the ballistic solutions would differ for a 168 grain .308 Win out to 1000 yards.

20210819_16563020210819_16553220210819_201045

The image on the left is the ballistic calculation on Earth out to a 1000 yard target. The shooter would need an elevation of 40.4 MOA or 11.8 Mils. On Mars, assuming my data is accurate, the shooter would need only 19.5 MOA or 5.7 Mils to engage a 1000 yard target. On Earth, a 168 grain projectile goes transonic at about 1100 yards. At this range, the projectile is no longer supersonic and becomes unstable loosing accuracy. In Mars at 1150 yards the projectile still has a velocity 2627.9 feet per second and an energy of 2576 foot pounds. At a range of 3000 yards on Mars, the projectile still has a velocity of 2593.6 feet per second and an energy of 2509 foot pounds. The elevation needed to engage a 3000 yard target on Mars using a 168 grain .308 round is a mere 66.4 MOA.

Virtually any existing load would produce a sonic boom because the speed of sound on Mars is 792 fps.

Moving on …

If you are a manufacturer of magnified optics, the future looks bright and I don’t mean optically.

Market Forecast BV, Amsterdam, has published a market analysis titled “ Global Riflescope Market and Technology Forecast to 2029”

Their analysis reveals, that the Global Riflescope Market accounted for USD 2.20 Billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach a value of around USD 8.00 Billion by the year 2029. The market growth dynamics account for a

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of around 13.08% over the forecast period, 2021-2029. The high CAGR is expected on account of the market value of 2020, which is a downfall compared to its previous years, due to the impact of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

You can purchase the report at ASD REPORTS

In closing, I have a beef to share. Every day, we see more red dot and reflex sights entering the market; many are also front-ended by 3x, 4x and even 6x magnifiers. Wouldn’t it be nice if manufacturers etched their glass with a range finding tool, say “a la Dragunov.” All of that magnification is great but I’d like to have some idea of the range to my target.

Don’t let all the crap get to you, have a nice weekend and schedule your own shoot the shit with your buds or family.

True Velocity Launches Direct-to-Consumer Sales with .308 WIN Rounds 

Next generation composite-cased ammunition is now available for $69.99 per box at tvammo.com

True Velocity 7GARLAND, TX (August 13, 2021)True Velocity is now offering 20-round boxes of .308 Winchester composite-cased ammunition for purchase online. The .308 WIN round is the first commercially available product from the Texas-based ammunition manufacturer, which has supplied the U.S. Armed Forces, law enforcement agencies and many Allied nations with its advanced, composite-cased ammunition for multiple years. Customers that purchase True Velocity .308 WIN ammunition at tvammostore.com will have their boxes delivered directly to their shipping address (void where prohibited).

Additional calibers from True Velocity will be available in the coming months. An official True Velocity .308 WIN launch video can be viewed on YouTube.

All True Velocity commercial rounds are made in the USA. Engineered for perfection, every True Velocity round undergoes hundreds of control checks to achieve exact dimensions and concentricity, ensuring consistency. True Velocity’s use of robotics and attention to detail is on par with medical-grade manufacturing locations and has led to substantial progress in an industry that hasn’t seen true innovation in 150+ years.

Composite-cased ammunition from True Velocity provides significant advantages over traditional brass rounds, including reduced heat transfer to firearms, leading to longer chamber life and decreased throat erosion. These rounds boast sub-MOA accuracy, reduced heat, and extreme consistency in muzzle velocity, thus providing serious shooters with an extraordinary performance advantage.

“We are eager to get our proprietary, high-performance rounds into the hands of discerning shooters across the country,” said True Velocity CEO Kevin Boscamp. “The True Velocity composite-cased .308 WIN is proven to be the highest-performing ammunition currently on the market and we look forward to continuing to raise the bar of excellence as we release additional calibers in the future.” 

The 20-round True Velocity .308 WIN box retails online for $69.99 per box.

In addition to the launch of .308 WIN ammunition, True Velocity is currently retailing a limited quantity of commemorative box sets. Included in a commemorative package are 22 True Velocity .308 WIN composite cartridges loaded with 168-grain Nosler Custom Competition projectiles, a branded D.O.P.E. (Data on Previous Engagements) logbook and an official 1 MOA True Velocity challenge coin.

Handheld unveils unique wearable SP500X ScanPrinter for logistics efficiency

[Lidköping, Sweden, August 18, 2021] Handheld Group, a leading manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, today introduced the SP500X ScanPrinter, a wearable device that brings revolutionary technology and efficiency to logistics operations. With this device, Handheld is also launching a new segment to its lineup of rugged computers: rugged wearables.

The SP500X ScanPrinter is a unique, wearable scan-and-print solution that integrates 2D imaging, inkjet printing and wireless communication in one device. It’s designed to create a revolution in high-volume logistic operations that use manual scanning and labeling to sort packages. With Wi-Fi and BT, as well as an integrated printer developed in partnership with HP, the SP500X is truly mobile. You can quickly scan and print directly on packages anywhere in your facility, all while keeping both hands free.

“It helps to see the process, to understand just how ground-breaking the SP500X ScanPrinter is,” says Jerker Hellstrom, Handheld founder and Chairman of the Board. “There’s no other device like it in the world. You put on the device, grab a package and scan it. The scanner sends the data to your back-end system, which sends back information for printing. And nearly immediately, you print an address, a code or other information directly on the package. Your hands are free. You can move anywhere you need to work. You’re not anchored to a printer.”

New segment: Handheld rugged wearables
With the SP500X, Handheld is adding a new segment of rugged wearables to its portfolio of rugged mobile computers. More wearable devices will be added soon.

SP500X ScanPrinter key user benefits:

  • Improved package-handling efficiency

EOTECH® Easterseals Over the Edge

Ann Arbor, MI (August 18, 2021) – Matt VanHaaren, the CEO of EOTECH, is a very smart and accomplished man. He has managed and developed several technology businesses throughout his career. But Matt isn’t perfect. On the outside is a confident, outgoing personality but on the inside, Matt is a scaredy-cat. Matt is terrified of spiders, clowns and most of all heights. His fear of heights all started with the Great Parking Lot Fall of 1984 where Matt was doing his best Mary Lou Retton balance beam routine on a parking lot curb. During his dismount, Matt fell all 7 inches to the ground suffering major injuries including a knee scrape and bad case of gravel hands. This event changed Matt forever. From then on, Matt avoided parking curbs and large rocks for fear of another fall from the sky. He threw away his moon boots because the soles raised his head into the heavens. He even sold his Chevy Blazer for a Pontiac Sunbird to avoid such a high fall in case he exited the vehicle poorly.

But Matt is a fighter. He slowly tried to overcome this fear with different challenges. First a step ladder. Next, he successfully sat on the tailgate of a small framed truck. He even got to the point where his barber could pump up the chair a bit. But soon Matt will face his greatest challenge ever.

Easterseals of Michigan is an organization Matt has supported for years. They help individuals with disabilities and special needs, and their families, live better lives. Close to Matt’s heart are the mental health services Easter Seals of Michigan provides to Veterans and their families. On average over 20 Veterans die by suicide each day. Matt and EOTECH are dedicated to raising money to support the Veterans who served our great country in any way we can.

On September 18, 2021 Easterseals Michigan is hosting their 5th Annual Over the Edge Fundraiser in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is an amazing rappelling event where Matt and other participants will face their fears for a great cause. They will take the plunge down the 18 story Bridgewater Place building which is one of Grand Rapids tallest buildings. Matt, and others, will raise a fundraising minimum of $1,000 to support ESM and their efforts.

“Easterseals of Michigan has been helping Michigan individuals and families for over 100 years. They do great things and we at EOTECH are very proud to contribute to their efforts.” Said Lisa Kemp, Brand Manager. “In addition to Matt’s fundraising efforts, EOTECH has sponsored the target landing spot where all of the rappellers probably can’t wait to touch down. “

Choose the Right Ammunition with Ballistic

Choose the Right Ammunition with Ballistic 

Gainesville, GA (Aug. 17, 2021) What can Ballistic do to put long-range competitors and hunters on target and keep them there, shot after shot? Ballistic can be a huge help with the long-range shooter’s ammunition selection among its many uses and features.

Our current ammunition situation not only has ammo scarce but very, very expensive. It’s also the case that a particular rifle will be more accurate with some brands and types of ammunition than others. So, how does a longer-distance shooter determine which ammunition options might be best?

One method is to buy numerous brands of ammunition in a specific caliber, go to the range and shoot, shoot, shoot. But not only is this approach time-consuming. Given ammunition prices, all that ammo might require a second mortgage!

A much faster and less expensive approach is for a shooter to plug the ammunition specs into a Ballistic Bullet Profile, and then use the app to compare and contrast how much drop and retained energy the shooter can expect from each load at various distances. Add in some wind scenarios, too (i.e., 5 and 10MPH winds from right to left), and see which loads handle wind drift the best.

The world-renowned JBM ballistic engine calculates all of Ballistic’s shooting solutions. No wonder Ballistic is used by competition shooters, long-range hunters and the military to deliver the most precise calculations possible.

Doing the above is even easier than one might think, as Ballistic is built around a very expansive Load Library, home to over 5,400 projectiles and factory loads–and the Library is constantly updated. Unless specific ammunition is extremely new to the market, the odds are the specs for the loads a shooter might consider are already accessible to Ballistic.

Ballistic is also compatible with handloads and the handloading process.

A reloader simply builds a Bullet Profile for each handload, with the bullet weight and ballistic coefficient, the feet-per-second (fps) the bullet leaves the muzzle (determined by chronographing at least ten rounds to reach an average fps), plus the other factors specific to the shooter’s rifle like sight height.

With a new batch of new reloads, the shooter then heads to the range and zeros the rifle at 100 yards, plugs this zero range into Ballistic, and updates the weather and atmospheric conditions. Ballistic will then provide an extensive set of data points for holdover, wind drift and other needed calculations.

Ammunition and Ballistic: a match made in long-range shooting heaven!

Ballistic is the definitive ballistics trajectory calculator, intended for long-range and precision shooters who want a serious–and a seriously accurate–application. Ballistic will calculate your bullet’s trajectory, windage, velocity, energy, lead, and flight time for any valid range. The app can also compensate for atmospheric conditions such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and altitude–it can even accept density of air or density altitude inputs! The world-renowned JBM Ballistics engine powers all Ballistic computations. Ballistic is used by competition shooters, long-range hunters, and the military to deliver the most precise calculations possible.

With Ballistic, you’ll be able to make the most accurate calculations for every shot, everywhere, even in areas with no cellular coverage.

B-8 8×42 Binocular”THE BEST NEW HUNTING BINOCULARS OF 2021″

B-8 8×42 Binocular

RIVERTON, WY, U.S. – (August 17, 2021) – LUCID Optics, known for more than a decade of refining traditional optics for improved use in tactical and field settings, is featured in the Outdoor Life magazine article “The Best New Hunting Binoculars of 2021” with their B-8 8×24 High Definition (ED) Binoculars.

LUCID Optics’ commitment to delivering a comfortable, lightweight binocular was noticed by the Outdoor Life team. “The LUCID’s build is impressive,” said Outdoor Life’s Andrew McKean. “It features high-definition extra-low-dispersion glass, and the twin-hinge open-bridge design is one of the most modern and comfortable on the market.”

Balanced and lightweight at only 24 ounces, McKean added, “The other side of weight, though, is portability, and testers reported carrying the LUCID for days of field work and marveling at its nimbleness and near weightlessness.”

Integrating ergonomics and user-friendly features is a point of pride for LUCID Optics, says CEO Jason Wilson. “We truly consider the needs of our end-users in product development, and our B-Series of binoculars is no exception. Having this recognition from the Outdoor Life testing team is a great distinction for us.”

The B-8 8×24 High Definition (ED) Binoculars were acknowledged for their optics and accessories, “…in twilight conditions, its colors were among the best in the test, evidence of good lens coatings,” according to the review. “The two-position eyecups are positive, and the thumb detents on the belly of the tubes do a nice job of grabbing users’ thumbs for a lock-solid hold. We also like its tripod-mounting adapter located on the forward side of the front hinge.”

Gamakatsu® Tool Line Adds Micro Split Ring Plier and Folding Braid Scissors

Gamakatsu® Tool Line Adds Micro Split Ring Plier and Folding Braid Scissors

Micro Split Ring Pliers (Left); Folding Braid Scissors (Right)

Tacoma, Washington (August 17, 2021) – Make the most of your time on the water by using tools that work.

The Micro Split Ring Pliers stainless body etched with the Gamakatsu name contrast magnificently with its rich blue handles.  

The Folding Braid Scissors with Split Ring Opener is a compact multi-function fishing scissor with similar construction elements as other Gamakatsu fishing tools. Its sharp stainless-steel blades will provide years of hard use snipping mono and cutting braided fishing line. The scissor’s tips feature a handy split ring opener. The blades fold safely into the tool’s blue handles for safe storage. When open, the 4-inch scissors proudly display the Gamakatsu name. A quality tool at a value-price.

Micro Split Ring Plier Features:

  • · Stainless steel body
  • · Non-slip grip
  • · Micro-Tip for super small split rings
  • · Braided line cutter

“Yesterday’s Gone, and We Can’t Get It Back.”

Words of wisdom from Augustus McCrae, former Texas Ranger and one of Larry McMurtry’s famous characters’ from his Pulitzer Prize winning novel, “Lonesome Dove,” are inspiration for Cimarron Firearms’ new pair of Lonesome Dove Walker .44 revolvers.

“Yesterday’s Gone, and We Can’t Get It Back.”

What are words of wisdom from Augustus McCrae, former Texas Ranger and one of Larry McMurtry’s famous characters’ from his Pulitzer Prize winning novel, “Lonesome Dove,” are inspiration for Cimarron Firearms’ new pair of Lonesome Dove Walker .44 revolvers.

Fredericksburg, Texas (August 2021)Cimarron Firearms, recognized as the leader in quality and authenticity in Old West replica firearms, proudly introduces 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 Lonesome Dove tetralogy, set in the final glory years of the American frontier introduced the American public to two iconic Texans, Capt. Augustus McCrae and Capt. Woodrow F. Call, both retired Texas Rangers living out their golden years in a small dust bowl of a border town called Lonesome Dove. Running a boarding stable, the Hat Creek Company and Livery Emporium, the pair decide to take one last great adventure that pits them against outlaws and heroes, ladies and ladies of the night, Indians and settlers while driving cattle from Texas to the Montana Territory.  

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 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.” MSRP is $739.70.

“Larry McMurty, a born and bred Texan, wrote some of the most thought provoking and award-winning books and screenplays, all with Texas as the back drop. His series, ‘Lonesome Dove,’ set in the waning days of the Old West, paid tribute to the strength of the men and women that made the West their home,” Mike Harvey, founder and CEO of Cimarron Firearms said. “And since it is our mission to create seriously authentic replicas, I decided to honor this novel with the actual types of guns a Texas Ranger would have been issued, and not necessarily what Hollywood could dig up in their stock room. Hence, our homage to the Lonesome Dove story is also an homage to the Texas Rangers, who carried the powerful Walker .44 revolver.”

About Cimarron Firearms:

Cimarron is the leader in quality and authenticity in replica firearms. For the past 30 years, Cimarron has worked continuously to perfect the authentic detail, fit, finish, and function of our line of frontier firearms. There is no other firearm that is near equal in value, strength, reliability, and authentic detail as is the line from Cimarron Firearms Co.

Galco’s Best Selling Combat Master!

PHOENIX, August 2021
The
Combat Master™ is a professional-grade belt holster hand-molded by our experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns. This gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance.
But beauty is only skin-deep, especially in a holster designed for concealment. The Combat Master’s traditional high-riding
pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster, pulling the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear under even light clothing. It also features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed – since time is always in short supply in defensive situations.
Premium steerhide construction with double-stitched seams enhance durability, making the Combat Master one of the longest-lasting holsters money can buy.
Lastly, the Combat Master’s twin belt slots fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide, so it blends perfectly with current clothing styles. And being the “gray man” is the name of the game when we’re talking about concealed carry!
Available in black or tan for over 180 different firearms, the Combat Master has an MSRP of $103.

Winchester® Team Member Maddy Bernau Wins Bronze

Winchester® Team Member Maddy Bernau Wins Bronze

Madelynn “Maddy” Bernau and her teammate, Brian Burrows, won a bronze medal for Team USA in the first Olympic mixed team trap event. 

EAST ALTON, Ill. (August 16, 2021) — Madelynn “Maddy” Bernau was one of more than 11,000 athletes to compete in the 2020 Olympics and she made her time in Tokyo count. She and her teammate, Brian Burrows, brought a bronze medal home for Team USA in the first Olympic mixed team trap event.
Bernau also competed in the individual Ladies Trap event where she narrowly missed qualifying for the finals and placed seventh overall.
“We are extremely impressed with Maddy’s performance in Tokyo as well as the other Team USA shooting sports competitors. Maddy is a terrific ambassador for Winchester and the shooting sports. She competed against the world’s best and is coming home with a medal — it’s impressive to say the least,” said Matt Campbell, vice president of marketing and sales for Winchester Ammunition.
Winchester has a proud Olympic history of its own. In addition to Bernau’s bronze in 2021, Winchester AA shotgun shells have been used by many of the best competitors in the world for decades and played a part in more than a dozen Olympic medal-winning performances. The legendary Winchester AA has earned a trusted reputation worldwide due to its premium high-antimony shot, high-strength hull, brass head and AA recoil-reducing wad. With more than 40 different SKUs to choose from, there is an AA shotshell for all consumer needs.

About Maddy Bernau

Born in Waterford, Wisconsin, Maddy took up shooting American trap at the age of 12. She went on to join her high school shooting team where she shot trap, skeet and sporting clays through the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP). In 2014, Maddy attended an SCTP development camp at the Olympic Training Center and was introduced to International Bunker Trap. With a goal of one day competing in the Olympics, she worked hard to master the International Bunker Trap discipline. By 2018, Maddy was representing the U.S. at the Junior Grand Prix in Italy and World Championships in Korea. This year, Maddy has won silver and bronze in individual and team respectively at the International Shooting Sports Federation’s World Cup in Lonato del Garda, Italy.

Ruger Announces Left-Handed Model of Custom Shop 10/22 Competition Rifle

Ruger Announces Left-Handed Model of Custom Shop 10/22 Competition Rifle

August 13, 2021

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to introduce a new, left-handed configuration of the Ruger Custom Shop® 10/22® Competition Rifle. This new model boasts left-side ejection and a left-handed charging handle and push-button cross-bolt manual safety, all fed from a detachable 10-round rotary magazine specially designed for this rifle. While this model gives left-handed shooters everything they need in a .22 LR competition firearm, right-handed shooters will also appreciate the left-side charging handle – particularly those shooting from the bench.
The receiver is secured in a painted and textured laminated stock that provides a sure-feeling, slip-free grip. The stock also features a fully adjustable cheek rest, which can be repositioned horizontally and vertically to allow for a custom-adjusted feel that is stable, comfortable and repeatable.
The 16-1/8″ bull barrel is fluted to reduce weight and dissipate heat and also is threaded with a 1/2″-28 pattern to accommodate the included muzzle brake or other barrel accessories. The barrel also features a proprietary, enhanced semi-auto chamber which has proven to increase accuracy and precision while not compromising reliable feeding and extraction.
The 10/22 Competition Rifle features a hard-coat anodized, CNC-machined, heat-treated and stress relieved 6061-T6511 aluminum receiver with an integral, optics-ready, 30 MOA Picatinny rail. The custom receiver is paired with a heat-treated and nitrided CNC-machined match bolt that creates a tight-fitting, smooth action, enabling the highest level of performance. The dual bedding system incorporates a second lug, ensuring the receiver is securely fixed to the stock. This rifle also features an innovative second barrel locator to provide a free-floating barrel for superior accuracy. The receiver incorporates a rear cleaning port, providing access to the barrel from the rear of the receiver for ease of cleaning.
This feature-packed 10/22 rifle also comes equipped with: the popular Ruger® BX-Trigger® which provides a smooth take-up and crisp break; an oversized bolt handle for ease of charging; a match bolt release that allows the bolt to be released forward with a quick pull to the rear and release; and an extended, ambidextrous magazine release.
This rifle ships in a hard case and includes a detachable, 10-round left-handed rotary magazine; Ruger Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity, challenge coin, cleaning cloth and decal.

Team SIG’s Daniel Horner Wins First-Ever CompX Marksmanship Cup.

Team SIG’s Daniel Horner Wins First-Ever CompX Marksmanship Cup in Multi-Discipline Competition at 2021 CompExpo


NEWINGTON, N.H., (August 12, 2021) – SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG Professional Shooter Daniel Horner for his first-place finish in the inaugural CompX Marksmanship Invitational to become the first-ever winner of the CompX Marksmanship Cup.


The CompX Marksmanship Invitational challenged ten elite competitors in a head-to-head match-up in four shooting events over the course of three days at the 2021 CompExpo.  The four events required to participate in this invite-only competition were the NRL Hunter Series Grand Slam, USSL Multi-Gun Championship, Total Archery Experience, and Shotgun Challenge.  Team SIG Professional Shooter Daniel Horner was the overall winner of the combined event to take home the 2021 CompX Marksmanship Cup.

“For 2021 Daniel has been laser-focused on demonstrating the capabilities of the SIG SAUER CROSS bolt-action rifle, optics, and ammunition to hunters and precision shooters.  The NRL Hunter Series has been the perfect showcase and fit for him as both a competitor and ambassador for the SIG SAUER product lines,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer, and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc.  “When Daniel gets involved, he goes all in, completely immerses himself, and raises the level of his competition by refusing to become comfortable and constantly testing his abilities.  The CompX Marksmanship Invitational was not a challenge that Daniel was going to turn down despite having no competitive experience in archery and shotgun clays, which only made the opportunity more appealing to him and fueled his ambition.  This win, and the subsequent title, is an exceptional achievement by Daniel Horner that truly demonstrates his ability as a professional shooter, formidable competitor regardless of discipline, and an overall tremendous athlete.”

For the USSL Multi-Gun Championship, a component of the CompX Marksmanship Invitation, Horner used his P320 XFIVE LEGION pistol with iron sights and SIG 147 grain Match Elite Competition Ammunition, and for the long-range portions of this match, Horner used his SIG SAUER M400 Competition rifle equipped with a SIG SAUER Electro-Optics TANGO6T riflescope and 223 REM SIG Elite Match Competition Ammunition.  For the NRL Hunter Series competition, Horner competed in the Factory Class with a SIG SAUER CROSS Bolt-Action Rifle equipped with a SIG SAUER Electro-Optics TANGO6T 3-18x44mm and 6.5 Creedmoor Elite Hunter Ammunition.  Throughout all portions of the competition, Horner used SIG SAUER Electro-Optics KILO3000BDX Rangefinding Binoculars.

“This was one of the most difficult competitions I have ever competed in, and it tested every aspect of my abilities from endurance to accuracy.  The course and stages were outstanding and pushed me to perform at my very best both physically and mentally,”  added Horner,  “While I had to add two new disciplines for this competition I was able to fall back on the same training and mental strategies I use in my 3-Gun and NRL competition while relying on my SIG equipment to give me the edge I needed to be at the top of my game from start to finish.  The CompX Marksmanship Invitational was an absolutely incredible experience, and I can’t wait to return next year to compete to defend my title.”

The CompX Marksmanship Invitational was held in conjunction with the 2021 CompExpo at Cameo Shooting & Education Center in Grand Junction, Colorado, August 6-8, 2021.

OL’MAN Climbing Stands: Setting New Heights Through Innovation

OL’MAN Climbing Stands: Setting New Heights Through Innovation

Pearl, MS (August 12, 2021) – To be successful hunting whitetails in the woods, a hunter has to be versatile. Sometimes a hunter has to hit the ground and go scouting to find the hot spot. Most times the hot spot will not have the right tree to set up on, so a hunter must adapt to the woods. There is no better tool in a hunter’s arsenal than a lightweight, adjustable climbing stand. None beat the versatility of the OL’MAN Alumalite CTS or the Multi-Vision stand.

The AlumaLite CTS provides a multifunctional, highly-portable, shooting platform for all-day comfort. The stand can be set up with the classic OL’MAN straight bar or the included reversible Gun Rest/Footrest to accommodate both gun and bow hunters. The stand incorporates a patented, 21-inch wide ComforTech™ seat that is designed for those long sits in the woods, waiting for a cruising buck. Numerous improvements from other models have been made, including incorporating super-strong, lightweight oval tubing and an improved cable system that makes set-up quick, easy and quiet. The stand also features pivoting, spreading arms for secure attachment to trees of various sizes. The all-new 18 x 32-inch standing platform is designed to be lighter while providing plenty of room for even the biggest feet. Improved tubing-style foot straps provide for easy entry and a better grip. At just 21 lbs. total weight, the stand is a breeze to pack wherever you go.

The Multi-Vision climbing stand is three treestands in one! Hunters can configure the Multi-Vision for different types of hunts. It can be set up with the classic OL’MAN straight bar that is flat and compact. Or, hunters can use the included reversible Gun Rest/Footrest to configure the stand for either gun and bow hunting applications. The Multi-Vision Series is also one of the quietest climbing stands on the market and remains OL’MAN’S best-selling treestand. With a 21-inch wide, net seat and an overall stand weight of 29 lbs., it can be easily hauled into any remote area.

MSRP for the AlumaLite CTS is $309.99 and $199.99 for the Multi-Vision. More information is available at https://olmanoutdoors.com/.
