NSSF, Project ChildSafe Urge Firearm Safety During National Safety Month

June 2, 2021


NSSF, Project ChildSafe Urge Firearm Safety During National Safety Month

NEWTOWN, Conn. (June 2, 2021)— In observance of National Safety Month, following a year of record-breaking firearm sales, NSSF® and Project ChildSafe® urge new and existing gun owners nationwide to prioritize safe firearm storage — and are providing the resources to do so.

In 2020, 21 million FBI background checks were conducted for firearm sales — a record number that makes reminders about responsible storage timely. NSSF encourages first-time gun owners to ensure they have safe storage devices to account for their new firearms and learn about firearm safety best practices. Project ChildSafe provides a vast library of resources — including a host of new materials developed this year — to help gun owners determine the best method to prevent unauthorized access to firearms in order to keep their homes and communities safe.

“Every year, National Safety Month is an opportunity to remind gun owners that their most important responsibility is to store their firearms securely when not in use,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO. “We know that there has been a significant increase in the number of new gun owners in the past year, and that they are looking for guidance on storing firearms responsibly. We’ve worked hard to give them the resources they need to secure their firearms to help prevent accidents.”

In the past year, Project ChildSafe updated its resource library with an emphasis on providing information to first-time gun owners, those who may be reevaluating their firearm storage practices and parents whose children were likely home more than ever while schools and other activities were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Project ChildSafe also partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to develop a joint resource on teen mental health and firearm safety — recognizing that the challenges of 2020 made it more important than ever to have discussions on preventing unauthorized access to firearms for youth facing mental health challenges.

“The past year, more than ever, showed us the importance of putting firearm safety first in our homes,” Bartozzi said. “As kids spent countless hours at home, we helped parents learn more about youth mental health and storage options such as lock boxes and safes to prevent unauthorized access to firearms when they’re not in use.”

Among the top NSSF and Project ChildSafe resources for firearm owners are:

The Escort DF12 Modern Sporting Shotgun

The Escort DF12 Modern Sporting Shotgun


Bentonville, AR (June 2, 2021) – A bold design loaded with smart features, the Escort DF12 stands out in an ever-growing world of modern shotguns. This auto-loader is a sporting enthusiast’s dream and is ideal for close-range hunting applications. Using the modern sporting rifle design and capitalizing on adaptable features, the DF12 reaches beyond its potential as a mere shotgun. Its 5-piece multi-choke system accommodates heavy slugs as well as it does light bird shot, making it a great all-around option for a wide variety of game.

With an overall weight of 8.9 lbs., this shotgun is manufactured from tough aircraft grade alloy. The upper and lower receivers are overbuilt with a robust construction that is meant to take a beating. The semi-automatic DF12 runs on a gas-powered system, similar to those found in traditional autoloading shotguns, but without the added bulk of a tube below the barrel.

The DF12 comes outfitted with an Escort standard oxidation-proof, chrome plated, drilled steel barrel. To ensure the utmost strength, each barrel is proof tested at the factory. A muzzle cover protects the barrel and locks the forend into place, adding to the robustness and modularity of this shotgun platform.

The DF12 makes field-stripping and cleaning a breeze. The upper and lower receivers are detachable, much like their modern sporting rifle brethren, allowing enthusiasts to feel at home with this shotgun.

Escort helps usher shotguns into the 21 st Century with amenities that make the DF12 a joy to shoot. A reversible bolt-cocking handle enables ambidextrous operation and ease of use for all shooters. Picatinny rails have been meticulously crafted into upper receiver forend, providing real estate for shooting accessories. An elevation adjustable cheek rest allows optimal sight alignment with both open sights and mounted optics.

DF12 Features

Huk Launches New Environment-Friendly Waypoint Collection

Charleston, SC (June 2, 2021) – Huk’s new Waypoint Collection offers the ideal protection for both anglers and the ocean at the same time. Made primarily from recycled bottles, the Waypoint Collection features a hoodie, long sleeve shirt, 7.5” men’s shorts, men’s pants, and 2.5” women’s shorts.

Huk has partnered with REPREVE® to incorporate recycled materials into its Waypoint line to help reduce plastic pollution. The collection will have the same unique Huk style but with an eco-friendly twist. On average, 9 recycled plastic bottles are used to create one item in the Waypoint collection. The blended fabric provides flexibility and stretches while maintaining shape and fit.

The Waypoint hoodie and long sleeve shirt feature 95% recycled polyester with 5% spandex. Also, recycled yarns are used to create an environmentally sound garment without sacrificing comfort or functionality. The hoodie and long sleeve shirt feature cooling fibers that work to remove heat from the surface of the skin, keeping anglers more comfortable and on the water longer. The hood is built taller around the neck allowing for extra protection from the sun. Both hoodie and long sleeve shirt are rated 50+ UPF for ultimate protection against the sun and feature a chest pocket for storing lightweight items. The hoodie is available in men’s and women’s sizes.

The men’s Waypoint 7.5” shorts are a perfect combination of style and comfort. The performance shorts are made from 89% recycled polyester and 11% elastane. The blended fabric provides superior stretch, mobility, and sun protection for a full day of water-filled activities. Ideal for both fresh- and saltwater fishing applications, the shorts are quick-drying and stain-resistant. The shorts are constructed with zippered back pockets to secure gear and wallets while moving around the boat. A conveniently designed plier pocket helps keep essential gear close at hand.

The women’s Waypoint 2.5” shorts make for an ideal day on the water. The lightweight fabrics, blended from 71% recycled polyester, 21% cotton, and 8% spandex, provide an excellent fit and superior mobility. Ladies will appreciate the added protection from the sun as well as the quick-drying material so they can stay comfortable in both wet and dry conditions. The shorts feature both back patch pockets and front hand pockets to stow items. Ladies will be able to dress these shorts up or dress them down for a long day on the water.

For anglers who want lightweight, full-coverage protection from the sun, the Waypoint pants are an ideal choice. The pants are extremely flexible, quick-drying, and built to move with your body, and are made with 95% cotton and 5% elastane. The stain-resistant finish makes it easier to wash out stains from a hard day on the water. A plier pocket is conveniently located for ease of use. The Waypoint pants are great all around, grab and go bottoms for any occasion on or off the water.

No matter how intense your adventures on the water, Huk’s Waypoint Collection is built to keep you dry and safe from the sun while protecting the oceans.

New Remington Bolt Opener From Fix It Sticks!

New Remington 700 Bolt Opener From Fix It Sticks

Chicago, IL- Fix It Sticks, the industry innovator of modular firearms maintenance tools and torque limiters has introduced an exciting new tool bit, the Remington 700 Bolt Opener.  This new tool allows quick, safe and effortless removal of the firing pin assembly from the bolt of Remington 700s, Remington 700 clones and rifles with this style of bolt shroud and firing pin assembly.  Like all Fix It Sticks tools, the Remington 700 Bolt Opener is extremely compact, making it easy to carry in any Fix It Sticks took kit or range bag.

Using the Remington 700 Bolt Opener is intuitive and easy. With the bolt removed from the rifle, place the back of the Remington 700 bolt through the tool so the polymer insert is contacting the bolt shroud, engage the firing pin with the firing pin catch at the bottom of the tool, then simply retract the firing pin to with a “bottle opening” action.  With the spring pressure now off the bolt body, simply unscrew the firing pin assembly.  Reverse the procedure to reinstall the firing pin. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

See how easily and quick the Remington Bolt Opener works!.

The new Remington 700 Bolt Opener has a steel tool body for maximum strength with a polymer insert to protect the finish of the bolt shroud.  Like all Fix It Sticks tool bits, it works with all Fixt It Sticks drivers as well as any ¼ hex bit driver and is now available with an MSRP of $20.00.

About Fix It Sticks:  Fix It Sticks is a highly modular multi-tool system featuring a variety of specialty tools and torque limiters, along with standard 1/4″ bits, to keep your gear running at the range and in the field.  Unlike other multi-tools out there, which compromise function for portability, Fix It Sticks uses a T-handle concept to give you the best of both worlds: shop level function, paired with light weight and portability.

Buck Holly Tops Gas Gun Category in Federal King of Coal Canyon PRS Match

ANOKA, Minnesota – June 1, 2021 – Team Federal Precision Rifle Series shooter Buck Holly finished strong in the recent Federal King of Coal Canyon PRS Match. He took home the top trophy in the Gas Gun category, using Federal 105-grain Berger Hybrid 6mm Creedmoor ammo to cut through some stormy conditions on the range. The competition is a new match for 2021 sponsored by Federal and held at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico.
“Federal is excited to have been the title sponsor of an additional national-level PRS match this year,” said Federal Shooting Sports Promotions Manager Jason Spradling. “The NRA Whittington Center staff were excellent hosts and their facilities were nothing short of epic. Match Director, Derek Love, and his staff did a fantastic job creating a challenging course of fire and improvising when extreme weather threatened the match.”
The stacked field of 120 shooters competed in 20 stages through windy and raining conditions that resulted in a flash flood on the range. Holly took the winning spot in the Top Gas Gun Division.
“With the conditions we faced and a challenging course of fire, it was nice to know I could count on my ammo to perform consistently,” Holly said. “That Gold Medal 6mm Creedmoor shoots really good in the wind.”
“Buck battled hard this weekend to pull out the Top Gas Gun title,” Spradling said. “We faced some really tough conditions on the range, but he shot consistently and never gave up. I’m proud to see him holding another trophy.”
Holly hails from Richmond Hill, Georgia and is a small business owner in the firearms industry, and an avid hunter and outdoorsman, in addition to being a sponsored PRS shooter and instructor.

Introducing the NEW Venom® 5-25×56 FFP Riflescope

May 27, 2021

vtx_rfl_venom_5-25x56_moa_fr_w

THE VORTEX® VENOM® 5-25×56 FFP. START LOOKING FOR A LONGER RANGE.

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Vortex Optics is launching the all-new Venom® 5-25×56 FFP, the first in a new series of optics aimed at giving shooters all the tools they need to get into the game at an affordable price without compromising optical quality, or giving up the features they need to be competitive.
The Venom® 5-25×56 FFP is a perfect example of what shooters should expect from the Venom® lineup, providing new shooters an entry-level price with next-level tools. There are some obvious features that showoff the Venom® 5-25×56 FFP’s long-range pedigree. There’s the 34mm tube, maximizing turret travel. There’s the RevStop™ Zero System, a fast, easy, rock-solid return to zero. And, an included throw lever means rapid, smooth magnification adjustments are a snap.
But take a look inside the Venom® 5-25×56 FFP and you start to see how this riflescope makes it easier for new shooters to learn, all while keeping them in the game. The First Focal Plane reticle ensures subtensions are accurate throughout the mag range, which shooters will love because the EBR-7C reticle makes it easy to measure and range targets in scope. The 5x zoom range takes shooters farther, letting them punch out to 1,000 yards and beyond.
Just because a shooter is new to the game doesn’t mean they should be limited by inferior optics, and the Venom® 5-25×56 FFP is a perfect example of how the Venom® line makes it easier to not just get started, but to have the tools shooters need to be competitive right away.
MSRP:
$699.99 –

Amsterdam, 27 May 2021

Gould Brothers Break World Record

Image

Gould_Record_Breaking_Clay_lgANOKA, Minnesota – May 27, 2021 – There is a new distance record for breaking a clay target with a shotgun load following an epic day at a rural Minnesota farm. Federal Ammunition sponsored shooters Steve and Aaron Gould, who make up the popular Gould Brothers exhibition team, broke their own record not once but twice outside Osakis, Minnesota on a cold and windy day this spring.

“We are always trying to push the limits of what is possible, and we knew that Federal’s TSS would be the round to make it possible to break a clay pigeon at further distances than we had in the past,” exclaimed Steve Gould.

The previous record was 160 yards set several years back by the duo of brothers. Now with Federal, and having the world’s leading shotshell manufacturer backing them, a new record was ready to be set. The Gould Brothers teamed up with Federal’s Adam Moser, lead shotshell engineer, to better understand the capabilities of Heavyweight TSS in both 7 and 9 shot sizes at extreme ranges.

“The #7 TSS has a significant advantage at 170 yards over the #5 lead at 160 yards. Three times the pellet energy and 100+ more pellets in the payload,” stated Moser, when explaining the differences between Heavyweight TSS and the previously lead load used to set the record.

Having that knowledge, Steve and Aaron Gould attempted the 170-yard shot and Aaron was able to break the record only to be bested minutes later by brother Steve who successfully broke a clay target with Heavyweight TSS #7 at 180 yards!

“We knew we could break the record; we just didn’t know by how much. To pull the trigger of a shotgun and see a clay break at 180 yards, that is pretty cool,” stated Aaron Gould.

“Pulling off incredible shots requires the best performing ammunition and what an exciting accomplishment to witness with one of our category leading products,” stated Jason Nash, Federal’s Vice President of Marketing. “What is even more amazing, is the technology they used to capture the historic event, so fans of the Gould Brothers, Federal, and shooting in general can watch history play out.”

GALLS CEO Mike Fadden Talks Business on NAUMD The Uniformer Podcast

GALLS® CEO Mike Fadden Talks Business on NAUMD The Uniformer Podcast

The North-American Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD) Rick Levine, host of The Uniformer Podcast, discusses the passion behind GALLS® new CEO Mike Fadden’s drive to build a company focused on customer service.

Lexington, Ken. (May 2021) – Mike Fadden, CEO of GALLS, LLC®, the leading distributor of uniforms and equipment to public safety agencies, and private label products, joins Rick Levine on the NAUMD podcast The Uniformer on Thursday, May 26, 2021. The Uniformer is a podcast devoted to the companies, teams, and individuals who provide the uniforms, image apparel, and equipment worn by tens of millions of workers across North America.

Nine months into his job as CEO of GALLS, Fadden states he is focused on two things: building a culture that is relentlessly focused on the customer, and second, making GALLS a premier employment destination. “We want to make GALLS the kind of company where when people say, ‘I work for GALLS,’ that they are proud, and that they can puff out their chest a little. When our sales force hits the market, they do with a bit of swagger, because they know they work for the best company in the industry.”

Turning GALLS into an employment destination is a mission already underway at the company. Foremost, as Fadden points out, working at GALLS can be considered a “noble cause.” By serving first responders who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and take an oath to protect our communities, GALLS employees are obligated to provide their customers with the best possible service, because they earn it every day. As Fadden added, “Our calling is summed up in our mission statement, Proud to Serve Those Who Serve.”

Additionally, Fadden points out the company is active in philanthropy. From sponsoring local community events for first responders to their recent partnership with Fund the First, the nation’s leading verified crowdfunding platform for first responders, military, and medical professionals, to a new major partnership with a charity to be announced in the coming weeks.

Fadden says GALLS is also committed to investing in its employees through a variety of programs from education, training, and incentives to not only attract quality employees, but to help employees build their careers at GALLS.

When asked what he thought the next few years looked like for him and the company, Fadden replied that they are already developing and implementing strategies. An example he used was investing the entire IT budget in five projects that would leverage technology to make the customer experience better. He sees GALLS continuing its growth strategy through a three-pronged approach; first, through strategic and opportunistic acquisitions. The second approach is to increase current customer purchases through industry-leading technologies that provide the customer with a better, faster, smarter experience. And the third approach is to attract new customers by having an outstanding reputation in the industry for service.

Fadden discussed how he sees his executive team solely to support his sales team. With over 80 stores and multiple agencies, the single customer and smaller agency are still more likely to encounter GALLS through its online presence. Mike and his team have been working on reducing the time between when a uniform order comes in to when it goes out the door to no more than three days, a remarkable feat when considering the uniforms are individually decorated.

Wrapping up the 42-minute conversation, Levine asks Fadden what he thinks of today’s challenges for our first responder communities and what it might mean for the community’s future. Fadden responds by saying GALLS is already answering those challenges. In regards to budget constraints, now and possibly in the future, GALLS has created a program that demonstrates how an agency can save money and with that extra money, be able to afford life-saving protection equipment such as body armor and helmets. With vendor partners, all working to keep the rising prices at a minimum, GALLS can help agencies of any size, with procurement processes. Fadden is also committed to making all of the GALLS branch stores a safe, respectful environment for first responders, where they can come in and receive recognition and be treated with dignity.

In a final reflection on the uniform industry, his job as CEO of GALLS and the first responder community, Fadden remains laser-focused on the people who wear the uniform and admits that his best days at work are when he is out with his employees.

Madrid, May 27, 2021.- The Board of Directors of the Company, meeting today, has considered that the proper performance of his duties by the Chief Executive Officer requires that at all times he has the full confidence of its main shareholder, given also his position, as a representative of the state public sector, the Company’s main client and whose decisions have a relevant impact on its business.

Indra has recorded important milestones and achievements throughout this time.

American Sniper Ammunition Preorder Available Now

American Sniper Ammunition is arriving now in 9mm: Range loads in America’s favorite 124gr FMJ, and in 12 gauge Buckshot and Slugs.

American Sniper 9mm Large

Midlothian, TX, May 27, 2021 – Recently announced, the American Sniper brand of ammunition promised to get America shooting again with quality ammunition both domestically produced and globally sourced. The first shipments of 9mm and 12 gauge are arriving now and are available for preorder at American Sniper Ammo’s retail partner Sportsman’s Guide.

American Sniper 9mm Range ammunition is no slouch. Produced by the Czech Republic’s STV, a factory perhaps better known in the U.S. for their beautiful Vz. 58 rifles, this ammunition yields excellent ballistics while remaining safely within both the European CIP and US SAAMI pressure limits. The same attention to detail and precision that goes into STV’s 30mm HE-T rounds has been applied in creating 9mm Range loads for the American Sniper brand that will provide the energy needed for reliable cycling and enhanced training.

The newly-manufactured, reloadable brass cases are Boxer-primed without heavy metals and loaded to a gun-friendly 31,183psi pressure. The 124gr FMJ load produces 384 foot pounds of energy at 1,181fps. Plenty of energy to cycle tired or dirty range guns so you can keep training.

Presales of American Sniper 9mm Range ammunition are live now at Sportsman’s Guide with an expected availability date of 6 September, 2021. Additional calibers and gauges will be available shortly.

American Sniper Slug Crop


Two 12-gauge loads have been selected from the dozens of offerings by manufacturer ZSr for the American Sniper Hunt line. Though labelled as hunting loads, these shells could easily fill multiple roles. Slugs have an expected availability of 6 September, 2021, with 00 buckshot expected to be available 5 October, 2021 via the Sportsman’s Guide links below.

Wishing You And Your Families A Great Memorial Day Weekend

Remember and Honor Memorial Day 2021 - Event

I hope you’ve all had a great week and are looking forward to a great Memorial Day. If you’re traveling, be safe and enjoy your journey. On this national holiday we remember the men and women in uniform who laid down their lives for our country. They paid the ultimate price to keep the United States of America the envy of the world. For 2021, I ask that you also remember the 593,000 citizens who succumbed to COVID-19. Their deaths are attributable to Chinese Communist Party actions.

There’s been a great deal of discussion about the origins of the corona virus only to be complicated by CCP lies and misinformation; however, the bottom line is that the virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It’s also become increasingly evident that the Lab was engaged in gain-of-function research. If you’re not familiar with the term, gain-of-function research involves modifying a pathogen to increase its pathogenicity, transmissibility and host vulnerability. The end product can be used to develop cures or vaccines in the event they surface naturally through mutations or it can be used as a biological weapon.

It’s also known that in November of 2019, three lab workers contracted COVID-19, an event that the CCP did not immediately disclose. The CCP response was to deny international investigators access to their lab, research documents and personnel. In December of 2019, it became clear to the CCP that COVID is highly transmissible, much more than the flu which led the CCP to lockdown Wuhan blocking all travel from China’s Hubei Province to the rest of China. However, the CCP encouraged and in fact demanded that foreign travel from the Hubei Province continue uninterrupted, a position that persisted until March of 2020 kicking off the global spread of COVID-19 . There are a couple of articles that support my statement.

One article, How China locked down internally for COVID-19, but pushed foreign travel by Sandip Sen, writing for the Economic Times, India Today. Sandip opens his piece saying…

“There is new evidence to show that China locked down all domestic traffic internally by end January 2020 but pushed to open foreign travel till end March. Data from Tom Tom traffic index, a traffic location site that covers 416 cities across 57 countries show that as a result of this strategy, China, intentionally or otherwise, was able to lockdown its cities unknown to the world. While this reduced the spread of the Corona virus within China, China’s aggressive foreign travel policy lead to a virus explosion worldwide. Here is the chronological events of what happened with the requisite traffic data from 10 major cities globally and the statements from Chinese leaders that will help readers reach their own conclusions…”

A second article Coronavirus: Critics ask why China allowed flights out of Hubei during outbreak by Lauren Holtmeier, Al Arabiya English. Lauren opens her piece saying…

“China may have allowed the new coronavirus to spread across the world by allowing international flights to and from Hubei province, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, while taking stronger measures to ensure the virus didn’t spread within China, according to the latest criticism of the country’s handling of the outbreak…”

Read the complete article here

This is where the story begins and I respectfully present my hypothesis. Readers familiar with the scientific method know that it’s a systematic process for evaluating findings to determine whether they’re fact or fiction.

My hypothesis is that the CCP understood the pathogenesis and transmissibility of the virus; furthermore, they allowed it to escape in order to disrupt the global economy. But, the real target was the United States and Donald J. Trump. Trump and his Administration was bad for China business, he imposed sanctions, tariffs and worked internationally to keep China in check.

I’ve already established that the CCP continued operating international flights into and out of the Hubei Province; in fact, it wasn’t until March that China closed to foreign travel, that’s nearly three months after their lab workers contracted the disease. Here’s what Reuters said “On February 4, the Civil Aviation Administration of China requested that local airlines keep operating international flights to countries that hadn’t imposed restrictions on inbound travel.”

I don’t believe that China was inept, or incompetent, I believe they were deliberate and their actions were calculated and designed to disrupt the global economy. China needed an event sufficiently large that the U.S. could not escape its effects, and by the time our government imposed widespread travel bans the virus had already entered the country and began to spread exponentially.

20210525_143025

The chart above indicates the distribution of COVID cases worldwide. We see that China, which has 18.5% of the total world population, had 0.05% of the Covid cases.

20210525_142850

This graph shows the COVID case growth, outside of China, from 22 Jan 2020, to 20 May 2021. I want to call your attention to the slope of the graph from 22 Jan to 06 March. That time slice coincides with the period during which China’s Civil Aviation Administration ordered international flights to continue operating.

Yesterday, the White House ordered the intelligence community to produce a full report in 90 days. I’m asking you not to lose sight of this investigation. This is not an event that should be forgotten as we get back to normal, and the CCP should be held to account. If we, as a country, fail to do this, you can be assured there will be more of attacks and possibly worse in scope. Unlike anthrax, turning a virus found in nature through gain-of-function enhancement into a bio weapon allows the perpetrator to say what the CCP is saying to this date, that it came from a bat, I think they call it plausible deniability.

I will continue to seek information that disproves my hypothesis but I have yet to find any, and everything that I’ve seen so far confirms it.

Have a safe and terrific Memorial Day weekend.

EOTECH® Vudu® 1-8×24 SFP Riflescope—Built for Speed and Precision

EOTECH® Vudu® 1-8×24 SFP Riflescope—Built for Speed and Precision

Ann Arbor, MI (May 26, 2021) – Competition shooters and hunters demand speed and precision from their riflescopes for close quarters to mid-range shooting applications. Vudu’s 1-8×24 SFP riflescope offers a versatile 8x zoom range so that shooters can quickly dial in the optimal magnification for any target presentation. Ideal for any MSR, bolt action, lever action or single-shot rifle, the Vudu 1-8×24 SFP provides tactical precision when every shot counts.   The Vudu 1-8×24 SFP features a wide field-of-view and a daylight-visible, illuminated aiming dot for fast target acquisition in all lighting conditions. The scope’s field of view at 100 yards is 105.8 ft. at 1x and 13.2 ft. at 8x. The reticle features a 0.5-MOA illuminated center dot with quad-level BDC suspensions. The Vudu 1-8×24 SFP’s HC3 reticle has four hold-over points providing the fastest compensating method for bullet drop on targets at different distances.    The Vudu 1-8×24 SFP features a rugged 30mm T6 aircraft-aluminum tube with a matte-black hard-anodized finish. This virtually indestructible housing protects the scope’s internal components. Bright and ultra-clear multi-coated HD lenses enhance light transmission, which is critical to shooting in low light. Like all Vudu scopes, the 1-8×24 SFP is waterproof, fog-proof and shockproof—essential for real-world shooting conditions.    Low-profile capped turrets add to the riflescope’s sleek profile, while the finger-adjustable turrets, with 0.5 MOA clicks, make adjustments in the field a snap. The power and brightness buttons are intuitively combined with the battery compartment. The auto power-down to sleep mode kicks in after two hours should the shooter forget to turn off the switch, helping squeeze up to 500 hours run-time out of its CR2032 battery.    For distant targets, more magnification is an asset for delivering accurate shots. The one-piece eyepiece makes transitioning from low to high magnification easy and fluid. The removable throw lever, which is included, is easy to locate and allows shooters quick magnification changes.   Vudu 1-8×24 SFP Riflescope Features:

  • 1-8x Magnification Range
  • Bright HD glass with fully multi-coated lenses
  • 30 mm tube with 100 MOA elevation, 80 MOA windage adjustments
  • Daylight-visible illuminated aiming dot
  • Second Focal Plane fixed reticle size maintains a small center aiming dot
  • Low-profile turrets streamline the scope’s profile
  • HC3 BDC Reticle with elevation hold marks for 2-, 5-, 8.5-, and 12.5-MOA (@ 8x)
  • Throw lever included 
  • Fast-focus eyepiece 

Vudu 1-8×24 SFP Riflescope Specifications:

  • Magnification: 1-8x
  • Objective Lens: 24mm
  • Overall Length: 10.6 in.
  • Focal Plane: Second Focal Plane
  • Eye Relief: 4.1″ – 3.9″ (1x – 8x)

A New Brand is Born

The Culmination of a Legacy

RVOLN (reh·vuh·loo·shn) completely erases and rewrites manufacturing and sales models for performance fishing gear and activewear.

HYDES, Md. (May 26, 2021) – “The best products and fabrics never make it to market,” said entrepreneur, bellwether activewear designer and marketing maverick Ben Verner. “It’s cost prohibitive.” And he would know. You see, Verner has legendary status in bringing apparel to market – most notably in fishing and hunting – building brands in those spaces, revitalizing what were static categories.

Verner has a reputation for success. The disruptive designer helped guide Under Armor into fishing apparel, quickly making the UA brand a household name with anglers. Verner followed by founding HUK, ultimately becoming the CEO of Marolina Outdoor, Inc., the now parent company to HUK and its hunting counterpart, Nomad.

Verner is not one to rest idly on the summit, though. His mind always churning and visions way out into the high-beams – far ahead of big corporate and maturing brands. So, Verner set sail with a head full of ideas and strategies, his journey ultimately landing on an uninhabited island, a new world, which he named RVOLN (reh·vuh·loo·shn).

“Young and fast,” were tip of tongue when Verner described the fresh RVOLN brand. It conjures images of life in motion, but is equally as comfortable on a tiki lit oceanside patio with house drink in hand, after a dynamic day on the water. Verner calls it a holistic perspective on activewear. You’ll soon call it your favorite brand.

Fabrics first. It’s Verner’s mantra. While the greater marketplace designs, or copies, a product then scrambles to source suitable fabrics, Verner samples countless fabrics, selects only the best and most innovative, and only then weaves them into styles and SKUs.

But only a strategic and nimble business superstructure can effectively go-to-market with such a progressive concept. That’s ROVLN. The tediously slow rollout of garments from big brands through big retail is inefficient. First, products are dumbed-down from initial prototypes, features eliminated, and fabrics cheapened to accommodate the multiple markups before reaching the consumer. And initial orders must be huge, often too oversized, leaving slow-sellers on the racks until clearing out, stymying introductions of the next big things.

RVOLN does things differently. First, products are produced in smaller batches, promoting quick turns and immediate updates, reacting to customer feedback. Customer feedback? That’s novel. We’re not talking about a hollow star rating and selectively posted comments. RVOLN actually interacts with its customers on design, improving products, creating new garments, even reacting to criticisms. A complete paradigm in activewear retailing.

To accomplish this, RVOLN champions a direct-to-consumer footprint. No middleman. No barriers to market. No giant displays reduced to XXS and XXXL. But rather, efficient small batch manufacturing that quickly reloads popular styles, sizes, and colors.

The elimination of the classic middleman markup chain also reduces cost…and what you pay. Prices are sharp. And remember the features and fabrics that fell to the floor because of cost? Not so with RVOLN. Their products come to market exactly as the designer imagined. So, you buy what the designer wears.

The RVOLN has just begun. Over the next several months we’ll be introducing pioneering series’ and products catering to your active and fishing lifestyle. And if we don’t nail it, you can tell us, and we’ll listen. 

Visit www.rvoln.com, enter the code VIP, and get 50% OFF your first order.

NDIA Chairman Punaro offers statement on the passing of Sen. John Warner


May 26, 2021

NDIA Chairman Punaro offers statement on the passing of Sen. John Warner

The following is a statement on the passing of Sen. John Warner (R-VA) from retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Arnold L. Punaro, chairman of the National Defense Industrial Association and former staff director of the Senate Armed Services Committee:

“Senator John Warner was one of the greatest of the Greatest Generation. He always put the country’s interests ahead of his personal interests and led from the front on both military and political battlefields. Our nation will truly miss Senator Warner, who was the epitome of leadership and bipartisanship.

“I was privileged to work almost daily with Senator Warner for almost 20 years, including when I was staff director of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He and my boss, Senator Sam Nunn, then SASC Chair, worked on a close bipartisan basis to address the many challenges facing our military and our nation. We travelled to war zones together and many other hot spots around the world, and we benefitted greatly from Warner’s insights from his own service in uniform in World War II and the Korean War. One of the most memorable times was our visit to the battleship USS Wisconsin on station in the first Gulf War. We were in the gun turret of the massive 16-inch guns, and I marveled as Senator Warner gave instructions to the crew on its operations.

“I was also privileged to have him write the forward for my memoir, ‘On War and Politics: The Battlefield Inside Washington’s Beltway.’ I was fortunate enough to work with him on a number of issues after he left the Senate, and I was always amazed by his ability to recount even the most minute details of all the major decisions he made in the Senate. He remained active in national security and military issues throughout his life, and our nation is stronger for his contributions.

“Our thoughts are with his family, friends and former staff today.”


At the Heart of the Mission Since 1919

More Women Falling in Love with Precision Rifle Shooting

GRAND JUNCTION, CO (AGirlandAGun.org) — One of the most popular training topics at the 9th Annual A Girl & A Gun National Conference Presented by GLOCK was precision rifle. More than 40 women were able to participate in the training, which was led by Russell Anthon and Hank Ownbey of Defenders USA. Participants enjoyed Ruger precision rifles with Vortex optics and Hornady ammunition.

“I literally could have stayed up there all night to continue training,” said one student. “A fire has been lit and I cannot wait to continue training for precision rifle!”

Ruger, who was a Diamond Sponsor of the National Conference, supplied loaner rifles for the classes. Students used Ruger Precision rifles and Ruger American rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The actions on the rifles all ran smooth and students could easily manipulate the bolt with consistent lockup. Subminute accuracy on the rifles was on point for training. The Ruger Precision modular chassis is easily customizable for the end user making it a stellar gateway rifle for these women at a great price point. The rifles had enough adjustability that all students could hit targets at 1,000 yards and beyond in minimal time.

“I had apprehension going into this class, but wanted to prove to myself that I could grasp the mechanics in shooting a precision rifle,” said another student. “After Russell and Hank explained the details of reading the MIL and MOA in the scope and the extreme basics, I hit 1,000 yards on my first attempt!”

The long range at Cameo Shooting and Education Complex was the perfect location for this class. Targets are placed incrementally out to 2,003 yards. The topography challenged the students to learn how to read the mirage and calculate the wind that is redirecting constantly off of the mountains. The beauty of the area is breath-taking with views of snowcapped mountains and the Colorado National Monument in the distance.

“I wanted to explore this new shooting discipline and LOVED it!” said a third student. “I am definitely expanding to this shooting platform, too. I can’t wait to take another class!”

Registration for the 2022 National Conference opens September 1, 2021. Learn more at AGirlandAGun.org/conference/.
