March 30, 2021
NSSF is pleased to share this press release from Outdoor Sportsman Group announcing OSG’s donation of more than $100,000 to NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® firearm safety education program.
Outdoor Sportsman Group Donates More Than $100,000 to National Shooting Sports Foundation Firearms Safety Initiative – Project ChildSafe
DENVER – Outdoor Sportsman Group, in conjunction with the National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), recently concluded its first annual SHOT Show® New Product Premiere and has donated $102,271 to the foundation’s Project ChildSafe initiative.
Project ChildSafe is a program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation actively promoting firearms safety and education in all 50 states and U.S. territories. The program is dedicated to promoting responsible firearm handling and storage through the distribution of safety education messages and free firearm safety kits.
The SHOT Show New Product Premiere served as a virtual destination for consumers seeking comprehensive, detailed and up-to-date information on products normally introduced during the NSSF’s annual trade show. The SHOT Show New Product Premiere was a multimedia, first-of-its-kind review on the latest new products and technology in the hunting/shooting space and was showcased for the first time on network television. Consumers were able to tune into Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel each night for new product reviews traditionally limited to searching industry websites and social media outlets for product reviews.
“Project ChildSafe is a safety and education initiative that all gun owners and citizens should embrace,” Outdoor Sportsman Group Publishing Chief Operating Officer Michael Carney said. “Project ChildSafe has proven to deliver meaningful scale and impact, and Outdoor Sportsman Group is proud to be able to present the NSSF with a check for $102,271 as a demonstration of our commitment to help promote and fund this critical program NSSF has pioneered and been so successful with.”
“NSSF and the firearm industry are extremely grateful for this extraordinary donation by Outdoor Sportsman Group,” NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi said. “This support will help NSSF further expand the important work of Project ChildSafe to help reduce firearm accidents, thefts and misuse.”
The NSSF’s Project ChildSafe promotes the following, and more, key practices for safe firearms use and storage:
-
Keep all firearms locked in a safe place, away from children and other unauthorized persons, when not in use.
-
Store ammunition under lock and key, separately from firearms.
-
Read and understand the owner’s manual that came with your firearm.
-
Treat every firearm as if it were loaded
-
Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction
-
Keep fingers off the trigger
-
Keep the firearm unloaded when not in use

NSSF Condemns City of Gary, Ind., Scapegoating of Public Safety; Calls Upon Indiana to End Legal Abuse
For immediate release | March 29, 2021
NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation®, the firearm industry trade association, strongly criticized the City of Gary, Ind., effort to revive its lawsuit against firearm manufacturers that seeks to hold members of the firearm industry legally responsible for the harm caused to the city by the actions of criminals who misuse firearms.
“The decision by elected officials in the City of Gary to try to breathe life back into this junk lawsuit after failing for two decades to litigate its case is unfathomable,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF® Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “The city has ignored the basic tenets of enforcing law and holding criminals accountable for their misdeeds. Instead, they’ve chosen to squander citizen tax dollars to pursue baseless claims that have been repeatedly thrown out of court in similar cases when municipalities attempted lawsuit abuse tactics. The firearm industry has been proactive and responsible in preventing the criminal and negligent misuse of firearms. The same cannot be said of the City of Gary.”
The City of Gary, Ind., first filed their claims in 1999, after 40 big city mayors conspired through the U.S. Conference of Mayors with gun control activist lawyers for claims of public nuisance and other crime-related injuries. New York’s Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, then serving as President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, organized dozens of local housing authorities to bring lawsuits against gunmakers and threatened the industry with “death by a thousand cuts.”
Cases were dismissed, including those brought by the cities of New Orleans, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston.
The claims brought by the City of Gary have been dismissed three times, only to be revived. The State of Indiana, in 2001, passed a statute to stop such frivolous lawsuits. From 2009-2015, the City did nothing to pursue its claims in court. In 2015, Indiana extended its law to apply retroactively to Aug. 26, 1999, days before the City of Gary filed its claims.
“On behalf of the entire firearm industry, NSSF calls upon the State of Indiana to immediately take the lawful steps necessary to end this lawsuit abuse by the City of Gary,” said Keane. The future of the Second Amendment is at stake in the Hoosier State.
Procedural twists allowed the cases to be revived. NSSF denies that firearm manufacturers bear responsibility for the illegal actions committed by criminals through the unlawful use of a lawfully manufactured, lawfully sold product that is regulated by a verification through the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The firearm industry has long-standing partnerships with federal, state and local law enforcement to realize Real Solutions® for Safer Communities.

Wildgame Innovations ZeroTrace Heavy-Duty Gear Bag and Charge Combo-A Portable Ozone-Free Scent Elimination System
Grand Prairie, TX (Mar. 29, 2021) – Eliminating unwanted odors is safe, convenient, and effective using the ZeroTrace™ Heavy-Duty Gear Bag and Charge Combo with PureION™ technology. Keep your clothes and gear scent-free at camp, in the home or after the gym without the unhealthy effects of ozone.
Exclusive to Wildgame innovations®, ZeroTrace is the only system using PureION technology to eliminate odors at the molecular level. Ion molecules produced by the ZeroTrace carry either positive or negative charges and quickly bond with nearby atoms to stabilize. Once this bond occurs, particulate matter in the air (odor) is neutralized. This process repeats as millions of particles are cycled through the scent elimination unit, reducing the chances of being detected in the field. Unlike ozone, which is harmful if inhaled in large amounts and can damage clothing and gear, PureION technology eliminates unwanted smells without any of the negative side-effects.
The ZeroTrace Heavy-Duty Gear Bag features a scent-proof, water-resistant design that ensures a hunter’s clothing and gear stays scent-free when stored in a truck bed, at deer camp, in the garage and everywhere in between. Its durable construction, welded seams and heavy-duty zippers stand up to hard repeated use. The combo also includes a removable holster that velcros in place to secure the ZeroTrace Charge unit. A convenient side zipper provides easy access for charging and cord storage. Built-in handles and a removable shoulder strap let you take the bag wherever you go with comfort and ease.
The ZeroTrace Charge boasts a 10-plus hour battery life from its lithium-ion battery and can be charging while in use. It also includes a vehicle charger, 110-volt adaptor, and USB cable for handy power and charging options wherever you go. The unit, sized to fit vehicle cup holders, pulls double-duty, removing odors inside your truck.
ZeroTrace™ Gear Bag and Charge Combo Features:
- Includes ZeroTrace™ Charge lithium-ion unit (rechargeable) with vehicle charger, 110V adaptor and USB cable
- Safe, ozone-free scent elimination that won’t damage clothing or gear
- Removable holster
- 10+ hour run time
- ZeroTrace™ Charge unit will recharge while plugged in and actively running
- Size – 120 liters; 16 inches x 16 inches x 32 inches
- Scent proof, water-resistant, welded seam design
- Heavy-duty zipper pulls
- Easy access side zipper for charging the cordless unit
- MSRP $249.99

New TT TACVEC products include a TT TACVEC Container Bag, a TT TACVEC Pouch 1 and the TT TACVEC Weapon Fixation for long-barreled weapons. All the new TACVEC products attach to the TT Modular Front Seat Panal for police/SWAT or military vehicles.
Miramar, Fla. (March 2021) – Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., increases its offerings in the TACVEC series.

Easily stored and fastened under the front seat for quick access, the TT TACVEC Container can be work bandolier-style while on a mission.
It has MOLLE hook-and-loop on the back and a flap with hook-and-loop with quick-release fasteners. There are two carry features on the bag, one is a carrying strap that is adjustable and removable, and also a hand-held, durable handle. Perfect for tactical and military vehicles, the TT TACVEC Container bag also makes an ideal civilian bug-out bag. Available in Black or Carbon for an MSRP of $109.00.
Another new item in the Tasmanian Tiger TACVEC series is the TT TACVEC Pouch 1, a quick-release equipment bag that attaches to the TT Front Seat Panel with a Zipper adaptor. The 12” x 11” x 4” bag has a plenty of storage room inside the pocket with MOLLE hook-and-loop and elastic loops for organizing gear.

Low Ammo? Here’s Some Drills You Can Still Do
Just because ammo is scare doesn’t mean you have to stop training. Even though extended mags are pretty rare at the range these days, here’s how you
can train when ammo is low.
Even pro’s use dry fire to practice because it’s a great way to build your muscle memory and perfect your trigger pull. If you are worried about damaging your gun, consider getting snap caps or other dummy rounds.
Low round count drills build your fundamentals and keep you ready without blowing through whole clips at a time. Popular drills include “one-reload-one” or “draw-load-one-reload-one” Tailor your drills to the skills you need the most practice with.
Consider a tool to help train. Some people use life-like air-soft guns to practice firearm manipulation, but you can also use the MantisX. This tool analyzes your movements as you fire to give real-time coaching.

In 2020, the company made a number of milestone achievements, including the delivery of two Iron Dome batteries and of the Trophy Active Protection Systems to the US Army, the selection of its SPYDER air defense system by the Czech Republic, expansion of the SPIKE user family to new markets, new contracts for its SPICE, Litening and Bnet systems, completion of development of the i-Derby ER air-to-air missile GBAD variant, addition of new capabilities to the Iron Dome system and combined interception tests with the David’s Sling air defense systems, entrance into the multi-dimension combat system domain, and more. It also won a contract for a cross-service intelligence program with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, and was awarded two Israel Security Prizes, for the 54th time since the company’s establishment.
In 2020, Rafael continued to develop, manufacture and market its systems and capabilities, providing users with end-to-end solutions for various air, land, naval, space and cyber requirements. Despite COVID-19 limitations, Rafael continued to stand by its commitment of on-time delivery to its customers around the world, while remaining active in forging new industrial alliances with its global partners to facilitate domestic production, transfer of technology and support of local economies.
In addition, in 2020 Rafael continued its investment and professional development of its human capital, while maintaining its significant investment in R&D (9.3% of sales) and its cooperation with academic institutions, opening new R&D facilities throughout the country, mainly dealing with cyber, intelligence, AI, space, and other emerging technologies.
Rafael is one of Israel’s three largest defense companies, with 8,000 employees and numerous subcontractors and service suppliers, indirectly providing employment for some 20,000 households.
Rafael’s Chairman, Dr. Uzi Landau: “Through the challenges and complexities of 2020, Rafael has maintained its unique ability to continue serving as Israel’s high-tech pillar of defense and maintain its solid position as a robust, vibrant, business-oriented company, with remarkable technological achievements. This is primarily due to its employees’ hard work and dedication, to our partners in Israel and across the globe, and to the support of the company’s management and board of directors. I wish to express my appreciation and gratitude to all of them, for their contribution to the security of the State of Israel and to Rafael’s continuing success in Israel and around the world.”
Rafael’s President & CEO, Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Yoav Har-Even: “In the past year we have continued to carry out a wide variety of activities to address the security needs of Israel and of our customers and partners around the world. Our performance has been widely affected by the global COVID-19 crisis, lack of a national budget in Israel, and the erosion of the Shekel-to-Dollar exchange rates. However, our foresight and planning, through careful marketing, operational activities, and above all, the commitment of all of our employees, have been effective in reducing the impact of these factors, and meet all of our deadlines and delivery commitments, while expanding our business activity in areas such as M&A, penetration into new markets, and development of new domains of activity.”

NSSF Denounces 9th Circuit Ruling Ignoring Plain Second Amendment Language
For immediate release | March 25, 2021
NSSF Denounces 9th Circuit Ruling Ignoring Plain Second Amendment Language
NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation®, the firearm industry trade association, rejects the legal gymnastics the 7-4 en banc panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit employed to rule the Second Amendment does not guarantee the right to bear arms outside the home. The court’s ruling on Young v Hawaii ignores the clear and simple language of the Second Amendment and U.S. Supreme Court precedent of the landmark 2008 Heller decision and 2010 McDonald decision, which displayed the exact opposite findings.
The Ninth Circuit’s ruling underscores the need for the U.S. Supreme Court to accept firearm-related cases for review to settle the long-standing disputes. Lower courts are repeatedly failing to apply Supreme Court precedents and are, in fact, treating the Second Amendment as a second-class right, as alleged by Justice Clarence Thomas.
“The blatant defiance of the Supreme Court to undermine Heller and hollow out rights afforded to individuals by their Creator and clearly protected by the Constitution is unconscionable,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “It is with amazing boldness that the Ninth Circuit brazenly sets aside not just the previous findings of the Supreme Court, which legally they are bound to apply, but actively chooses to ignore plain English and refuses to acknowledge the right to bear arms. We look forward to filing an amicus brief when this heads to the Supreme Court.”
Four sitting U.S. Supreme Court justices have previously expressed frustration with lower courts’ refusal to faithfully apply judicial precedent and frustration with the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up gun-related cases for review. Just last year, 10 cases were pending before the court and all were denied certiorari, or review. Since, Justice Amy Coney Barrett has been seated on the bench and was a stalwart defender of Second Amendment rights during her confirmation hearings in the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Justice Barrett testified that Heller affirmed an individual right to keep and bear arms and if state laws were passed to the contrary, the U.S. Supreme Court would be bound to review challenges to those laws.

NSSF Unveils Revised Star Rating System for Outdoor Ranges
March 25, 2021
NSSF Unveils Revised Star Rating System for Outdoor Ranges
NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF® has announced a revamped Star Rating System for outdoor range businesses that can guide existing ranges and developers of new ranges in creating professional facilities that will succeed in attracting a wide range of customers.
“NSSF’s new outdoor range rating system is based on our vision of a safe, well-managed, customer-oriented facility that is a strong promoter of recreational shooting in their market,” said Zach Snow, NSSF’s Director of Retailer and Range Business Development. “We encourage all outdoor ranges to review the criteria in the rating system and make improvements where practicable for the benefit of their venue and customers.”
The system encourages ranges to strive for a Five-Star rating, which is the gold standard for the firearm industry and honors ranges that through best business practices have developed a business that customers know is in the top tier and worthy of their patronage.
The NSSF Star Rating System can be used in many ways by range operators and developers, among them:
-
Existing outdoor ranges can identify rating system criteria that may be worth incorporating into their business models to improve their facilities
-
The rating system can be used as a tool for range startups while in the business-planning and developmental stages
-
And if certain criteria do not pertain to your business model, use the rating system to refine your business practices, fill in gaps and, importantly, become aware of new technologies and practices to improve management and the customer experience
Some ranges may not be able to immediately meet the requirements needed to achieve a Five-Star rating — and that’s okay! The important thing is that your range operation is meeting the needs of your customers regardless of where you rank. From there you can use the Star rating requirements as a guide to make improvements to your business. Ratings of 3 and 4 Stars demonstrate your range’s commitment to meeting high standards — something customers value and local media and business organizations will appreciate knowing.
NSSF encourages all outdoor ranges to apply to become a Star-Rated Range. Check out the Range Program Star Rating Assessment form today to see how your business currently ranks while identifying areas you can improve upon to achieve greater success.

The EOTECH® Vudu 5-25×50 first focal plane rifle scope is a favorite optic among law enforcement, military, and precision rifle competitors. It has earned top honors in the field and at the range because of its compact, rugged design and superior optics.
The Vudu 5-25x features incredible edge-to edge clarity and true color representation in a compact unit just over 11-inches in length. Compared to larger and more bulky, high-magnification scopes, the Vudu 5-25×50 FFP Rifle Scope is hands-down the optic of choice of snipers and long-range competition rifle shooters across the country!
The Vudu 5-25x combines reliable first focal plane ranging with a unique push/pull elevation turret locking system. EOTECH’s EZ Chek Zero Stop promotes effortless adjustment and instant return to zero. This scope is offered in either the standard MD3 reticle or the Horus® H59™ offering more advanced correction capability in windage and elevation.
Given the scope’s compact build, there is ample room to mount a night vision or thermal device in front of the rifle scope and make adjustments to the device without ever leaving the optic.
Adjustment clicks are positive and tactile, allowing a shooter to adjust on the fly with confidence. A single CR 2032 battery powers the Vudu 5-25’s reticle illumination, and the scope’s parallax and illumination controls are combined in a single turret for convenient adjustments.
All of which explains why the Vudu 5-25x has made such a huge impact in Precision Rifle Series competitions across the country. Competitors trust the Vudu 5-25×50 to provide accuracy and consistency while shaving inches and ounces from their rifle.

Delaware State Police Adopts SIG SAUER P320 Pistols with Factory Installed Romeo1PRO Red Dot Optic
NEWINGTON, N.H., (March 23, 2021) – Today, SIG SAUER, Inc., announced the Delaware State Police has adopted SIG SAUER P320RXP Pistols which features a factory-installed SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO1Pro red dot sight. Delaware State Police is a division of the Delaware Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security and is responsible for law enforcement and traffic regulation across the state of Delaware with over 700 troopers. 
“We are extremely pleased with our decision to make a department-wide transition to the P320 RXP and incorporate the capability of a red dot optic to our P320 official duty pistols,” stated Colonel Melissa Zebley, Superintendent of Delaware State Police. “All of our troopers recently completed the training and instruction process with the new pistols and optic and we’ve noticed the outstanding accuracy of the P320 pistol and the pairing with the ROMEO1Pro optics has added a new level of fast, responsive target acquisition.”
The SIG SAUER P320 RXP pistol is a 9mm striker-fired pistol that come with a factory installed ROMEO1PRO Open Reflex sight and suppressor height backup sights, ambidextrous slide catch lever, reversible magazine catch, and a modular polymer grip module available in small, medium, and large. The intuitive 3-point takedown of the pistol requires no trigger pull for disassembly, and safety features include a striker safety and disconnect safety.
The SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO1PRO is a miniature open reflex red dot sight, available with either a 3MOA or 6MOA red dot. It comes with 12 brightness settings for a full range of lighting conditions, and the TruHold™ Lockless Zeroing System designed to endure recoil and return to zero shot after shot. The ROMEO1PRO features a molded glass aspheric lens with high-performance coatings for superior light transmittance and zero distortion, a new upgraded point-source emitter for increased brightness in day or night conditions, MOTAC, a 20,000-hour battery life, and an IPX-7 waterproof rating. The ROMEO1PRO is housed in aircraft grade aluminum to ensure corrosion resistance, includes a ruggedized steel protective shroud in the box for extreme durability.
“As more and more law enforcement agencies are beginning to see the value of red dot optics, and allow them as an option within their agencies, the Delaware State Police is leading the way,” added Tom Jankiewicz, Executive Vice president, Law Enforcement Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This is the very first statewide agency to incorporate a red dot pistol as the department-wide standard, and we are incredibly proud of the positive feedback we have received throughout their transition and training to the SIG SAUER P320 RXP pistols.”

Galco’s Great Alaskan Chest Holster!
Galco’s Great Alaskan Chest Holster!
PHOENIX, March 2021
Ideal for both handgun hunting and protection while fishing, camping or hiking in bear country, Galco’s Great Alaskan™ positions the handgun on the chest, keeping it clear of gear carried near the waistline. It also helps keep your handgun dry when wading, and is a great choice for riding, whether on an ATV or on horseback.
Speed can be essential when easily-spooked game or an unpredictable predator appears, and the Great Alaskan’s positioning at the front of the body offers a speedy and simple draw. An outdoorsman’s holster also needs to retain the handgun in the rough-and-tumble hunting and hiking fields. The Great Alaskan ensures secure retention with a simple safety strap that features a glove-friendly polymer finger tab.
The Great Alaskan is extremely comfortable with heavy handguns, using both a wide premium-steerhide shoulder strap and a torso strap that comfortably bear the weight of a large-framed revolver or auto.
The Great Alaskan is constructed of extremely sturdy yet beautiful premium steerhide in Galco’s signature hand-rubbed, oil-finished tan. Holster, harness and straps come ready for easy end-user adjustment. The harness will also accept an optional carrier for spare ammo, sold separately.

New Era of U.S. Commercial Space Transportation Begins
Date: March 22, 2021
WASHINGTON — The United States is leading the way to a new era of commercial space transportation with a final rule that streamlines the licensing process for private sector launch and reentry operations.
“Innovation in commercial space transportation is increasing dramatically, and policy needs to keep up. This rule will help us to prepare for future U.S. leadership in commercial space transportation by facilitating the continued economic growth and innovation of the American aerospace industry and ensuring the highest level of public safety,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The new rule took effect on March 21 and arose from a directive of the National Space Council to encourage American leadership in space commerce. The rule aims to support greater innovation, flexibility and efficiency in commercial space operations. It also seeks to keep pace with the dramatic increase in the $400 billion global space industry that is expected to generate revenues of $1.1 trillion or more by 2040.
The rule streamlines and modernizes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commercial space launch and reentry licensing regulations by eliminating obsolete requirements, replacing most prescriptive requirements with performance-based criteria and reducing duplicative regulations.
It also establishes a single set of licensing and safety regulations for several types of commercial space operations and vehicles. For example, one license could support multiple launches and reentries at multiple locations—a game-changing innovation that will make this process more efficient.
“With the streamlined rule we can make sure launch vehicles aren’t tethered to the launch pad with red tape and at the same time protect public safety during commercial space operations,” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson.
The number of FAA-licensed commercial space launches has dramatically accelerated from only one in 2011 to a record 39 in 2020—a 3800% increase in just ten years. For 2021, the FAA is forecasting 50 or more FAA-licensed launch and reentry operations.
The new rule will better fit today’s constantly evolving aerospace industry whose technological advancements are lowering the cost of launch operations and opening new markets for satellites, space tourism and potentially suborbital point-to-point regional and intercontinental travel.
Background
In addition to the rule, to meet the increasing demand for commercial space transportation services, the FAA is working with current active license holders to authorize planned operations or modify current licenses. The agency is also talking with a number of new entrants interested in applying for licenses. As of now, 11 companies hold 23 FAA-issued launch or reentry licenses.
State and local governments are also looking to establish launch and reentry sites to provide additional operational capacity and serve as economic hubs. In the U.S., there are presently 12 FAA-licensed spaceports, in addition to Federal government and private launch sites.
Additionally, the FAA reorganized its Office of Commercial Space to meet the burgeoning private sector licensing demand and established the Office of Spaceports. The agency is also continuing to test and deploy new technologies to further enable the safe and efficient integration of commercial space operations with other types of air traffic in the National Airspace System.
An FAA license is required to conduct any commercial launch or reentry, the operation of any launch or reentry site by U.S. citizens anywhere in the world, or by any individual or entity within the United States.
Since 1989, the FAA has licensed or permitted more than 450 commercial space launches and reentries. During that time there have been no fatalities, serious injuries or significant property damage to members of the public.
