German Precision Optics Introduces New SPECTRAdot™ Red Dot Scope


RICHMOND, Va. (March 15, 2021) — German Precision Optics (GPO) proudly introduces its entrance into the red dot scope market with the new SPECTRAdot Red Dot Scope. Designed to meet the needs of tactical shooters and hunters that require rapid target acquisition, this high-quality, lightweight and compact red dot scope is the perfect mate to most tactical and sporting rifles and shotguns.
The SPECTRAdot features high-efficiency power management with a battery runtime of up to 50,000 hours with a CR2032 battery, a mount that mates with both Weaver and Picatinny-style rails, precision ½ MOA windage and elevation click adjustments, and IPX 7 sealing. The red dot brightness measuring 3 MOA also enables the use of the SPECTRAdot in a variety of lighting conditions, with six daytime and five nighttime settings. 
Red dot sights, long a favorite sighting system for law enforcement, AR platforms and military personnel, have been finding favor with more and more niche hunters as well. For example, many Alaska brown bear guides mount them on their large-caliber back-up rifles for use in thick cover, and countless turkey hunters have found that a red dot sight is a much more accurate and quick sighting system than traditional front bead or old-school post-and-notch-type sighting systems.
The GPO SPECTRAdot sight measure 2.53 inches long x 1.4 inches tall x 1.78 inches wide, and weighs just 6.63 oz. without lens covers and mount. It is IPX-7 waterproof submersible rated and includes an instruction manual, cleaning cloth, allen key, objective and ocular lens caps, and a low-profile Picatinny/Weaver mount. All GPO products purchased in the USA include the GPO, USA’s Spectacular Lifetime Warranty™. Full details on this industry-changing warranty can be found at http://www.gpo-usa.com. Currently available at retailers nationwide and at www.gpo-usa.com, MSRP is $399.99. More information is available on the website, or by calling 844-MY BINOS (844-692-4667.)

FAA Announces Effective Dates for Final Drone Rules

Posted on Monday, 15 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Drone Remote ID and Ops Over People Banner

FAA Announces Effective Dates for Final Drone Rules

The final rules requiring remote identification of drones and allowing some flights over people, over moving vehicles and at night under certain conditions will go into effect on April 21, 2021.

Remote identification (Remote ID) requires identification of drones in flight as well as the location of their control stations or takeoff point. It provides crucial information to our national security and law enforcement partners, and other officials charged with ensuring public safety. Airspace awareness reduces the risk of drone interference with other aircraft, people and property on the ground.

The Operations Over People rule applies to pilots who fly under Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The ability to fly over people and over moving vehicles varies depending on the level of risk a small drone operation presents to people on the ground. The rule allows operations based on four categories, which can be found in the rule’s Executive Summary (PDF). Additionally, this rule allows operations at night under certain conditions. Prior to flying under the new provisions, a remote pilot must pass the updated initial knowledge test or complete the appropriate updated online training course, which will be available on April 6, 2021.

Part 107 currently prohibits drone operations over people, over moving vehicles and at night unless the operator obtains a waiver from the FAA. The new FAA regulations jointly provide increased flexibility to conduct certain small drone operations without obtaining a waiver.

The Operations Over People rule requires that remote pilots have their remote pilot certificate and identification in their physical possession when flying. It also expands the class of authorities who may request these documents from a remote pilot. The final rule replaces the 24 calendar month requirement to complete a recurrent aeronautical knowledge test with the requirement to complete updated online recurrent training that includes the rule’s new provisions.

The public can review both the Remote ID (PDF) and Operations Over People Rule (PDF) in the Federal Register.

For general inquiries on these new regulations and other UAS inquiries, please call 844-FLY-MY-UA or email the FAA.

FAA Proposes $14,500 Civil Penalty Against Passenger for Allegedly Interfering with Flight Attendants

Posted on Monday, 15 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

FAA logo

Date: March 12, 2021

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $14,500 civil penalty against an airline passenger for allegedly interfering with flight attendants who instructed him to wear a face mask and stop consuming alcohol he had brought on board the aircraft.

On a Dec. 23, 2020 jetBlue Airlines flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York to the Dominican Republic, the passenger crowded the traveler sitting next to him, spoke loudly, and refused to wear his face mask, the FAA alleges. Flight attendants moved the other passenger to a different seat after they complained about the man’s behavior.

A flight attendant warned the man that jetBlue’s policies required him to wear a face mask, and twice warned him that FAA regulations prohibit passengers from drinking alcohol they bring on board an aircraft. Despite these warnings, the passenger continued to remove his face mask and drink his own alcohol, the FAA alleges.

A flight attendant issued the passenger a “Notice to Cease Illegal and Objectionable Behavior,” and the cabin crew notified the captain about his actions two separate times. As a result of the passenger’s actions, the captain declared an emergency and returned to JFK, where the plane landed 4,000 pounds overweight due to the amount of fuel on board.

The passenger has 30 days after receiving the FAA’s enforcement letter to respond to the Agency.

NSSF Hails Rep. Barr’s ‘Fair Access to Banking Act’

Posted on Friday, 12 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

For immediate release | March 11, 2021

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The NSSF®, the firearm industry’s trade association, applauded U.S. Rep. Andy Barr’s (R-Ky.) introduction of the Fair Access to Banking Act. The much-needed legislation will pick up where the Fair Access to Financial Services Banking Rule left off, which was proposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency until the Biden administration “paused” publication of the finalized rule.

The bill is companion legislation to U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer’s S. 563, of the same title, that was introduced last week. The Fair Access to Banking Act would require banks to provide access to services, capital, and credit based on the objective risk assessment of individual customers, rather than subjective broad-based decisions affecting whole categories or classes of customers.

The Fair Access to Banking Act would stop corporate banks from picking winners and losers based on executives’ personal politics. It also protects banks from outside pressure by special interest groups seeking to use the banks as a political weapon to advance their agenda.

“Congressman Barr’s ‘Fair Access to Banking’ bill is vital to ensure financial services aren’t discriminating against lawful industries like the firearm industry to score points with the ‘woke’ cancel culture. This legislation will ensure financial institutions, when deciding whether or not to offer services to fully legal and lawful businesses, make such decisions based upon verifiable financial data and not on the political or social views of a few bank executives,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation. “The banking industry has benefited from taxpayer bailouts and taxpayer-funded insurances, and it is unacceptable that these same banking institutions believe they can arbitrarily deny services to legal, constitutional businesses such as our industry, which gainfully employs millions of Americans and helps guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. The firearm industry thanks Representative Barr for his leadership to guarantee all legal and regulated American companies have fair and uniform access to financial services.”

Corporate banks have privatized “Operation Choke Point,” the illegal discrimination scheme that was begun under the Obama-Biden administration. The Department of Justice and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-led effort, directed financial institutions to deny entire industries access to services, including the firearm industry. Despite being a constitutionally-protected industry, the Obama-Biden administration illegally coerced banks to end existing business relationships and deny new ones.

After the illegal practice was ended under the Trump administration, banks and special interest advocates simply privatized this scheme by adopting policies that specifically denied firearm businesses financial services for being in the business of selling certain types of lawful firearms. They forced these discriminatory practices while exploiting taxpayer-funded resources like FDIC insurance protections.

Vara Safety Partners with Walk The Talk America

Posted on Friday, 12 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Vara Safety, the handgun safe made for protection, has joined up with WTTA to help spread WTTA’s message of “Mental Health, it’s ok to talk about it” with a commitment to explore new technologies to help save lives.

Las Vegas, Nev. (March 2021) – Walk The Talk America (WTTA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization designed to bridge the gap between the firearms industry and owners and the mental health industry, is proud to announce Vara Safety has joined WTTA’s growing list of industry partners.

“When we met with Mike Sodini, it was incredible to hear his story which led him to start this inspiring initiative in mental health and firearms,” Timmy Oh, CEO and founder of Vara Safety, commented. “The work Mike and his team are doing helps save lives through awareness and education. Vara Safety is lucky to have the opportunity to stand beside an organization dedicated to protecting our rights and reducing the number of deaths by suicide.”

Vara Safety was founded in 2017 and is located in upper New York State. Founder, Timmy Oh, and his team of engineers, marketing, and operation leaders brought groundbreaking biometric technology to firearms safety with the release of Reach, a patented biometric handgun safe that allows the user to simultaneously unlock the firearm using a fingerprint reader while drawing the handgun in a ready and safe position. Reach 2 the fingerprint and RFID handgun safe is their newest product offering, an upgrade to the original Reach handgun safe. Vara Safety will be placing WTTA’s Treatment Engagement flyer in every box they ship out. The flyer provides information on receiving free and anonymous mental health screening on WTTA’s website, as well as multiple other resources on mental health and responsible gun ownership. In addition to supporting WTTA’s flyer program, Vara Safety will also explore new technologies that can help save lives.

“I’m excited to get the support of Vara Safety in regards to Walk The Talk America’s mission,” Mike Sodini, founder and president of Walk the Talk America, added. “I was a fan of their product before this partnership, and I’m even a bigger fan now that I know their company values. Responsible gun ownership plays a major role in suicide prevention and safe storage may be the last line of defense for those that are in crisis. It’s nice to see a company within the firearms industry step up and go beyond just making a sale of their product. I look forward to looking for innovative ways through technology for us to save lives and promote better mental health.”

Posted on Friday, 12 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

EAST ALTON, Ill. (March 11, 2021) — Winchester and the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) are proud to announce Winchester’s new designation as the official ammunition of the ATA.
For over a century, Winchester has been a leading advocate for trapshooting through direct promotion of the sport and through support of the ATA and its events.

“Winchester has been a consistent and valued partner in protecting and expanding the shooting sports through many generations of shooters,” said Lynn Gipson, executive director of the ATA. “The Winchester and AA brand have been so influential in helping the ATA promote trapshooting that they have without a doubt earned our appreciation and this new title.”

Constipation Could Lead to Erectile Dysfunction

Posted on Friday, 12 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

url1You’ve made it through another week and marked the one year anniversary of COVID19 lockdown and all of its problems. It’s been difficult and stressful. Kids are remote learning, you’re probably dealing with business difficulties or a variety of financial pressures.  But, you’ve been listing to me and avoided seeing a therapist; otherwise know as a jackass who studied psychology so they could understand themselves. They may even have a psychiatrist prescribe antidepressants, such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine (Prozac) or tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil) both of which have been known to cause constipation.

As you struggle to overcome your constipation, you pay a visit to your primary care physician who prescribes Movantik (normally used for opioid induced constipation), which its television ad suggests that a possible side effects is erectile dysfunction.  You then would need to seek out some Acoustic Wave Protocol delivered in a series of short painless treatments to the penis using pulsating acoustical sound waves.

Instead, you’ve wisely opted to save the $150+ per hour and take your family out to dinner when your favorite restaurant opens back up.

So, let’s have a short shoot the shit.

There are a number of behavioral issues that have surfaced during the COVID pandemic and its corresponding isolation, one of which is the frequency of sex.

In the UK, Vibio which is a a women-owned sextech startup released a study in partnership with Aperio Insights examining how COVID-19 has impacted sex and relationships, as well as general mental health and well-being.



Here are some of their findings:


  • “ Couples are having less sex and singles are masturbating more – but both are becoming more explorative. 51% of all respondents have had more interest in sexual fantasies and experimentation since Covid-19.”
  • “Women were more interested in threesomes and new sexual partners who are a different gender than their primary partner”
  • “Singles are masturbating more, 66% masturbating more than once per week — up from 53% before the pandemic”
  • “The most popular sex toy purchases during the pandemic for women were clitoral stimulators and vibrating dildos.
  • “For men, the most popular toys were handcuffs/restraints and dildos”

These finding may have you considering a change of residence.

New York City Health Recommends:

  • If you make a living from sex work, the guide suggests utilizing technology instead of in-person dates by setting up “sexy ‘Zoom’ parties,” chat rooms, or a subscription-based platform (such as “OnlyFans”).
  • Or, If you’re doing it through a wall or via video chat isn’t really your style, the guide recommends wearing a face covering during physical interactions or masturbating with your partner instead. If you’re not wearing something over your face during sex, be wary of heavy breathing and panting, since those behaviors could further spread the virus.

In closing, I want you guys to go out and get vaccinated, disregard what you hear on Twitter, Facebook and other social media. I’ve had both doses with no issues we’re nearing the herd immunity point and we need to make that 10 yard line push. Have a great weekend and schedule a shoot the shit with your buds or family.

ALLTEC of Brazil and Rafael sign MoU on Add-On Armor Solutions

Posted on Thursday, 11 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

guarani4The two companies will cooperate on business opportunities and projects for the Brazilian Ministry of Defense and auxiliary forces

Tel Aviv – March 10, 2021 – Earlier this month, ALLTEC Composite Material of Brazil and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation on passive add-on armor solutions, their maintenance and life cycle support.

Rafael’s Add-On Reactive Armor and Passive Armor defends against a wide range of threats such as anti-tank rockets, small firearms, AP projectiles, high-speed fragments of artillery, mortars, and high explosives.

Under this MoU, ALLTEC and Rafael will cooperate on business opportunities and projects for the supply of passive add-on armor solutions from STANAG Level 4 and above, its maintenance and life cycle support for the Brazilian Ministry of Defense and auxiliary forces.

The MoU’s purpose is to achieve maximum local industrial content and facilitate joint marketing and sales of Rafael’s passive add-on armor solutions, including maintenance and life cycle support for Rafael’s Products.

ALLTEC has used these expertise to increase the level of ballistic protection required by the Brazilian Army on the new Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier (WAPC) ‘Guarani’.

ALLTEC was designated as a contractor to develop a full kit of additional ballistic protection (add-on) to be attached to the new WACP ‘Guarani’, including the stages of technological research, manufacturing, proving ground tests, official certification process, final assembly and camouflage painting of the armored shields.

This innovative challenge has resulted in the acquisition of deep knowledge and a mastery of technology to manufacture armored ceramic shields (add-on) which have qualified ALLTEC as the main supplier to the Brazilian Army for that equipment.

Federal Recognized as Today’s Top Rifle and Handgun Ammunition Brand

Posted on Thursday, 11 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

ANOKA, Minnesota – March 9, 2021 – Federal was the top rifle and handgun ammunition brand in 2020 according to the feedback of more than 15,000 hunters and recreational shooters. When Southwick Associates compiled the results of their ongoing “Hunting & Shooting
Participation and Equipment Purchases consumer tracking study” Federal led in both of these ammo categories.
“Our workforce in Anoka, Minnesota is very proud that the popularity of Federal and Federal Premium centerfire handgun ammunition continues to lead the market,” said Federal Centerfire Rifle Product Director Mike Holm. “We are pleased to see consumers are choosing Federal now more than ever. Our factory continues to work at full capacity to deliver quality products shooters and hunters worldwide depend on. Our ammunition offers consistent, accurate performance for all types of recreational shooting, hunting and self-defense.”
The Federal brand family of rifle ammunition, including Federal Premium, Federal, Fusion and American Eagle, were purchased by more than 20 percent of the surveyed consumers to lead all rifle brands. For handgun ammunition, Federal and its sub-brand American Eagle were purchased by 19 percent which were the top brands in that category.
“Our focus has always been on those who use our products in the field and on the range. If we meet their needs, they will have a great experience with our brand,” continued Holm. “Our factory workers are extremely proud of the fact that our quality ammunition continuously leads the market and delivers on the expectations of our consumers. This report confirms we’ve accomplished what we’ve always worked hard to achieve.”

NSSF Announces How Industry Benefits from Firearm and Ammunition Excise Tax Payments

Posted on Thursday, 11 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

March 10, 2021


NSSF Announces How Industry Benefits from Firearm and Ammunition Excise Tax Payments


With support from an AFWA grant, new study reveals long-term value to industry and firearm owners alike

NEWTOWN, Conn. – Each year firearm and ammunition manufacturers pay millions of dollars in excise taxes into the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration (WSFR) program that result in long-term benefits to industry, target shooters and hunters. A new study, announced by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, reveals how these payments—some $792 million in 2020 alone—provide not only bedrock funding for enjoyment of the shooting sports but also a major return on investment for industry.

With support from a grant awarded by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ (AFWA) Multistate Conservation Grant program, a new report titled “Benefits & ROI of Wildlife & Sport Fish Restoration Funds” highlights for industry leaders the financial returns their businesses receive from investing in the WSFR program.

WSFR is funded by a 10-11 percent tax on firearms, ammunition and archery equipment paid by the manufacturers, along with similar excise taxes on fishing and boating equipment. These funds are distributed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to their state agency counterparts to invest in conservation and recreational access programs that benefit hunters, target shooters, anglers and boaters. The excise taxes on shooting sports equipment date to 1937 when the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act was passed by Congress, establishing a model of conservation funding that eventually would lead to significant expansion of hunting and shooting opportunities nationally.

“Manufacturers and other businesses frequently ask about the importance and effectiveness of the excise tax program. The findings of this study clearly show that decades of sound investment, wildlife management and conservation, and increased recreational access have significantly helped the shooting sports industry grow to where it is today. The excise tax program is an investment in the continued growth of our industry,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi.

Produced by Southwick Associates, the report provides multiple examples of how the excise tax program benefits industry. Two specific examples include:

  • The public shooting range located within Oklahoma’s Lexington Wildlife Management Area is about an hour south of Oklahoma City and offers thousands of visitors opportunities to enjoy target shooting. Total estimated spending by target shooters on excise tax-related items is an estimated $1.7 million annually. With annual excise tax investments for range improvements averaging $307,000, industry is receiving a 358 percent return.
  • When North Carolina’s turkey season re-opened in 1977, only 144 birds were harvested. By 2018, over 17,000 turkey were being harvested annually. This is just one of many success stories across the country about the restoration of populations of game species.

Industry investments in WSFR lead to a leveraged cycle of benefits, with investments made in one year often generating benefits for many years to come. In addition, the federal Pittman-Robertson legislation prohibits states from diverting hunting and fishing license dollars away from their fish and wildlife agencies as a condition of benefitting from P-R funds , further protecting sportsmen’s dollars. As a bonus, every three excise tax dollars must be matched at least by a dollar from a non-federal source, further strengthening the value of the tax dollars paid into the program.

“The important thing for industry leaders to know is that their excise tax payments provide real, lasting benefits for the industry, funding more and more hunting and recreational shooting opportunities which translate into greater sales,” noted Bartozzi.

The report’s new excise tax insights are available from www.nssf.org/research/wildlife-restoration-program/. Visit this site to learn more about the excise tax, how the funds are spent and about the results generated for businesses who pay the tax. Included is an interactive map providing “Then and Now” statistics for each state.

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

AeroVironment Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Arcturus UAV Awarded Approximately $7 Million Task Order for U.S. Special Operations Command Mid-Endurance Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program

• Competitive task order awarded for USSOCOM’s Mid-Endurance Unmanned Aircraft Systems (MEUAS) program

• Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) JUMP 20 unmanned aircraft system delivers true versatility and multi-mission capabilities without launchers or runways to USSOCOM and other customers

With a best-in-class operational range of 185 km (115 mi) and 14+ hours of endurance, AeroVironment’s JUMP 20 is the ideal solution for multi-mission operations. (Photo: AeroVironment, Inc.)

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., March 9, 2021 – AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Arcturus UAV, now operating under the AeroVironment brand, was awarded a competitive task order valued at approximately $7 million from the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The competitive task order is for a one-year period of performance, which started February 3, 2021.

USSOCOM selected Arcturus UAV as one of six companies qualified for the potential $975 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) MEUAS contract in June 2020. The contract enables awardees to compete for site-specific task orders and provide USSOCOM with unmanned aircraft systems services and support for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.

“Part of AeroVironment’s expanded portfolio of medium UAS, the fixed wing JUMP 20 is capable of vertical takeoff and landing, making it completely runway independent,” said Rick Pedigo, AeroVironment vice president of global sales and business development. “Runway independence maximizes the ability of customers to deploy the JUMP 20 in a broad range of locations and environments, while minimizing the logistical footprint required to operate it. JUMP 20 is also capable of hosting multiple different payload options, delivering true versatility and multi-mission capabilities to support a wide array of customer requirements.”

AeroVironment recently successfully demonstrated the JUMP 20 for the U.S. Army Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS) “Rodeo”, which took place from February 22 through March 5 at Fort Benning, Georgia.

AeroVironment previously announced the closing of the Arcturus UAV acquisition in a press release on February 22, 2021. To learn more about AeroVironment’s expanded portfolio of unmanned aircraft solutions, visit https://www.avinc.com/uas.

Brownells Partners with Dixxon Flannel for Limited Edition Shirts

GRINNELL, Iowa (March 9, 2021) – Brownells fans can add some classic style to their wardrobes starting 7:00 pm CST, Tuesday, March 9, when the new limited edition Brownells Flannel pattern Dixxon Flannel shirts go live.

Both Brownells and Dixxon Flannel will link to the special sale page through their respective Instagram accounts to mark the official start of the one-time-only special flannel event.

The Brownells-exclusive green and gold shirts combine high-quality Dixxon materials and construction with subtle Brownells accents to create a unique fashion statement that’s durable, comfortable, and equally at home shooting at the range, cruising on a motorcycle, or relaxing at the local watering hole.

“We are stoked to be working with an industry leader like Brownells on this limited-edition flannel,” said Dixxon Flannel Art Director Chris Jones. “Their commitment to quality and service is something we back at Dixxon as well. They are serious about firearms and we are serious about flannels.”

Established in 2013, Dixxon began with the goal of creating the world’s best flannel. Growing up around motorcycles, skateboards and hardcore/punk music, flannels have always been a staple in our closets.

We started with flannels but approach every other product with the same approach – classics redefined.

The cards feature a QR code so EOTECH customers can visit the officer’s memorial on the ODMP website.

As a leading supplier of law enforcement equipment, EOTECH shares ODMP’s interest in raising public awareness around officer deaths. Creating these memorial cards, serves as a sobering reminder of the sacrifices officers make and that those sacrifices won’t be forgotten.

“EOTECH has long been a supporter of law enforcement and felt this simple but meaningful gesture was a great way to actively show our support both for fallen law enforcement officers and highlight the positive work ODMP is doing,” states Lisa Kemp, Director of Marketing at EOTECH. “As expected, the feedback from our consumers has been very positive and appreciative of our support for Law Enforcement. “

Ambassador Academy Graduates Full Class

Posted on Wednesday, 10 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

AMBASSADOR ACADEMY GRADUATES FULL CLASS

TULSA, OK – (March 9, 2021) – The annual Ambassador Academy, presented by professional shooters and brand ambassadors Ryan and Dianna Muller, proudly announce 16 recent graduates. Held at the West Orlando Firearms Training facility (W.O.F.T.) in Florida, students learned to become more effective industry influencers and successful representatives for their partners and the overall firearms community.

“To counter the culture war, it boils down to education,” said Dianna Muller. “If our side doesn’t know how to effectively influence their friends, their families, and their communities, it’s up to us to equip ourselves and create better communicators of our message. Ambassador Academy training is for more than just sponsored shooters. It focuses on communication, media, and relationship skills that anyone can use.”

Ambassador Academy 2021

After five days of instruction from subject matter experts, students departed with new concepts in many topics. Social media was taught by TJ Kirgin and Beth Walker; filming and editing from Tim Johnson of Blue 42 Agency. They were able to get first-hand experience at hostile communications with journalist and media specialist Catherine Mortensen. Students were in the hot seat practicing answers to questions like, “Why does anyone need an AR-15?”. They also received on-camera interview techniques from David Lombardo, whom you might recognize from hosting SHOT Show TV and On Target Radio. Matt Mallory from Meet the Pressers instructed on podcast interviews.

Students also participated in world-class personal safety training unique to W.O.F.T. Low-light situational awareness to real-world, force on force scenarios were tackled in their state-of-the-art facilities. This year, there was a special treat on the live fire portion of the class. World-renowned champion, Lena Miculek, was the live fire instructor, but her father, Jerry Miculek, toggled between being a student and an instructor. He even gave the students a surprise one afternoon. Regarding his experience as a student, the senior Miculek said, “I didn’t know what to expect from the class, but there were many great takeaways! Practicing the hard questions was pretty good timing given the attacks on guns and all the censorship that is happening.”

The academy boasted three professional photographers who captured headshots, action photography, lifestyle images, and product shots. Dave Weaver, who was with the Associated Press for over 20 years, was the lead photographer. The students departed with all their images from the photoshoots, including headshots, lifestyle, action, and candid shots from the class.

“You can see why the training is five days long,” said Ryan Muller. “We crammed a lot of content in there and told the students up front they would feel like they were drinking from the fire hose!” He was the chef for the class and provided breakfast and lunch daily.

The 2021 Ambassador Academy marks the third year of the program, and “every year we add more value for our students,” said Dianna Muller. “Stay tuned for the next Ambassador Academy, or if you want a class tailored to your company, please reach out!”

About the Ambassador Academy

The annual event gathers subject matter experts who teach brand ambassadors to be useful representatives for their corporate partners and more effective industry influencers. Instructional sessions feature social media strategy and analytics, filming and editing, on-camera interview techniques, hostile communication strategies, Second Amendment advocacy training, and professional photography sessions. The Ambassador Academy offers customized programs for organizations requiring exclusive training for their staff, brand ambassadors, or executives. Click here to watch an informational video.

About W.O.F.T.

The private, 6-acre personal defense training facility is more like a world-class resort than a shooting venue. Scenario-based training is tailored to each individual’s experience level and focuses on avoidance, de-escalation, and defensive tactics. Regardless of prior training experience, students encounter dynamic concepts and practices that elevate their personal defense skills.

Viridian® Gun Camera Captures Another Officer-Involved Shooting

Viridian® Gun Camera Captures Another Officer-Involved Shooting

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – March 8, 2021 – The FACT Duty® Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC®) from Viridian Weapon Technologies has recorded another officer-involved shooting. Viridian representatives have been informed that the gun camera footage of the incident, which occurred on February 26, is proving to be an important asset in the investigation.  More information will follow as additional details are disclosed.

“Any officer-involved shooting sets in motion the complicated process of piecing together what happened,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “While we are never happy to hear about these tragic events, we are encouraged to be informed by officials that the WMC attached to the officer’s gun automatically activated when the weapon was drawn from the officer’s holster. Once again, Viridian’s WMC has captured HD footage of a critical incident from an unobstructed angle.”

The WMC addresses limitations officers can face with body cameras. Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.

More information on WMCs can be found at ViridianWeaponTech.com/FACT-Duty-Learn-More.

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Viridian Weapon Technologies is devoted to applying cutting-edge technology to design compact, powerful self-defense products for the civilian, military and law enforcement markets.

NDIA statement on Senate extension of Section 3610

Posted on Monday, 8 March, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

NDIA cheers Senate extension of Section 3610 in CARES Act

image001
ARLINGTON, VA – The National Defense Industrial Association applauds the Senate for overwhelmingly passing, in a 96-3 vote on Saturday, an amendment to extend Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act as part of the $1.9 trillion relief package.
The amendment, co-sponsored by Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Marco Rubio (R-FL), gives agencies funds to cover certain contractor costs and to keep skilled personnel and workers in a ready state during the COVID-19 response through the end of the fiscal year.
The Arlington, Virginia-based NDIA worked with multiple stakeholders to support the passage of this legislation. On Thursday, March 4, a letter signed by small-business CEOs<https://www.ndia.org/-/media/sites/policy-issues/small_business_letter_3610_extension_final.ashx> – including ML Mackey, chair of NDIA’s Small Business Division and CEO of Beacon Interactive Systems – on behalf of the small businesses NDIA represents, went to Senate and House small-business committee leadership. The letter emphasized the importance of the authorization to small businesses in the national security complex.
“Without the ability to draw on 3610 authorities, many companies could be forced to terminate many of [their] employees,” the letter stated. “Many others, fearing disruptions to their incomes, would leave of their own accord to find more stable employment in the commercial sector. Because it is difficult and time-consuming to replace employees with specialized skills or security clearances, our companies’ future ability to support critical government missions would be hindered without 3610 authorities.”
This followed the efforts of the week before by NDIA and nine other organizations<https://www.ndia.org/-/media/sites/policy-issues/3610_multiassociation_extension_request_letter.ashx> to highlight the authority’s continued use by many federal agencies to maintain the capabilities and workforce necessary to meet mission needs and protect our national security and other vital programs.
“Extending 3610 and safeguarding the defense industrial base workforce is critical to our national security today and, more importantly, into the future,” said Hawk Carlisle, NDIA president and CEO. “NDIA is thankful to lawmakers for understanding the criticality of this authorization to government contractors and the skilled, cleared workforce that delivers for our warfighters.”
