In her current role, Wisniewski is responsible for recruitment, retention and reactivation (R3) efforts that have allowed her agency to realize year-over-year license sales increases for six years running. Wisniewski is also the President of the Association for Conservation Information, where she is introducing R3 to industry communicators, the chair of the marketing working group for the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports, and the chair of the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies outreach working group that created the Making It Last toolkit. Wisniewski was an early promoter of NSSF’s National Shooting Sports Month® and is currently testing a “Refer a Friend” licensing campaign.
“We are in exciting times with the advancements in R3 and are realizing some substantial gains in license sales with what we have learned so far,” said Wisniewski. “I am excited and honored to be the recipient of NSSF’s R3 Leader of the Year award and look forward to working with the industry to grow participation in hunting and target shooting.”
NSSF’s Director of Research and Market Development, Jim Curcuruto, presented the award, noting, “Jenifer has been a leader in the R3 world for many years. We appreciate her efforts, as well as those of many others who are working to learn about and implement successful R3 techniques.”
NSSF has a wide variety of R3-related research that supports efforts such as +ONESMMovement, National Shooting Sports Month and First Shots®. For additional information on NSSF research and R3 efforts, contact Jim Curcuruto at jcurcuruto@nssf.org or 203-426-1320 ext. 234.

How’s it going guys? Hope you’ve all had a great week and looking forward to a relaxing weekend, if that is even remotely possible. If there was ever a time for a shoot the shit this is it. Have you tried buying toilet paper, paper towels and hand sanitizer, LOL! What’s a shoot the shit say you?
A shoot the shit is a social interaction during which any topic can be discussed. The goal is to get participants to stop fingering their iPhone and clean themselves with Facebook and Twitter as toilet paper is unavailable. During a shoot the shit, the participants don’t need to know anything about the subject being discussed. They are free to make any unsupported statement, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject. The alternative is to pay a jackass who studied psychology, so they could understand themselves, $150 USD per hour to hear them tell you that you have a short penis complex. I’ll tell you how bad the situation is, consider the psychological conditioning imbedded in one of the Peloton ads. I’m referring to the ad that features two women with the following ad line: “…after a hard day, can you take a hard twenty…”. Now you are totally convinced that your manhood is lacking making their diagnosis correct. Remember that a psychologist is an individual who couldn’t pass the M.C.A.T. (Medical College Admissions Test).
Holy bat shit readers, can you believe what’s going on around this country of ours. Every “preper / survivalist” is hunkered-down in their bunker with 500 packages, of 24 count, of toilet paper expecting a “Red Dawn “ scenario for self actualization. Folks, the Coronavirus or COVID 19, is a respiratory virus, so unless you chowed down on a bad taco you won’t need that much toilet paper. Even if you shit yourself all over the kitchen floor do you need 100 rolls of super absorbent Bounty? When it comes to the Coronavirus it’s important to understand that the mortality rates of 2-4% is based on the best information available. Here’s what that means.
If you only know of 1000 people infected with the virus and 20 of those perish then we say its mortality rate is 2%, but in reality the actual number of those infected with the virus is much larger but are either asymptomatic or experiencing no more than flu symptoms, they have not been included in the calculation because we don’t know they exist. So, you are more likely to contract a case of the clap than be infected with Corona provided you use reasonable care. So why all the panic? Media hype aided by a group of politicians trying to instill fear in the population in order to undermine the President of the United States. So as they say in Hawaii, “TAKE IT EZ ALREADY EH YOU.”
BUT
I want you to think about this. China has as its strategic objective world dominance. They have a population of approximately 1.5 billion people, and they have an active chemical and biological weapons development program, they are accelerating expansion of their military and increasing space assets with a proposed colonization of the dark side of the moon. They want to replace the United States of America, so they will not hesitate to destroy our economy, just pay attention to what’s happening with our medical response to corona. They have used their huge market to lure American companies into the country. Part of that deal is the theft of technology. I know of companies who developed network routers and sent them out to China for manufacture. Five months later they saw the same router enter the U.S. market at 50% the price and under a different brand.They are also conducting industrial espionage using Chinese university students in US schools.
China has the capability to strike at the United States using cyber to disrupt all services including medical. They also have the capability to strike at the U.S. with biological weapons. If we respond with a nuclear strike and kill 300 million Chinese, the remaining 1.2 billion will have a better life. They can literally replace our entire population along with the EU’s.
As extreme as this sounds, and it is, as a country we need to have our eyes wide open and our heads out of our ass and fully oxygenated when it comes to dealing with the Chinese Communist Party at any level.
Having said that, shift those sweat pumps into low speed. Have a great weekend and relax, but if you wake with sniffles remember that it could be pollen.
Michael R. Rodriguez was one of only two Americans to ever graduate the Irish Army Ranger Wing Sniper Course; he was also an advisor to George W.

Fort Worth, TX (March 11, 2020) – XS® Sights is now offering a 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee on all pistol sights in addition to its No Questions Asked Warranty and world-class customer service. If a customer tries one of XS’s pistol sights – such as the F8,DXT2 Big Dot, or 3-Dot RAM night sights – and is not completely satisfied, the company will swap out their sight set for a different model or even offer a refund if the sight is purchased directly from the company or participating partners.
“As a family owned business, we believe in exceptional customer service and want those who have never used our sights, or perhaps are new to express sights in general, to feel comfortable trying them risk free,” said Zack Kinsley, Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “Some shoot Big Dots best while others will prefer the F8 or our 3-Dot RAM night sight because people’s eyes, training, and preferences are different. We want to make it as easy and stress-free as possible for everyone to find the sight system that works best for them and feel confident knowing XS sights are not only the fastest sights in any light, but that you can count on them for speed and accuracy when you need them.”
If the XS sight is purchased from a dealer, customers can still send their sights directly to XS for exchange. Customers will pay to ship their sights to XS, and XS will send them a new sight free of charge. If customers who purchase XS Sights pistol sights from dealers want a refund, they should work directly through their dealer.
XS will exchange for a new product if one exists. Exchanges can be made up to 30 days after the original purchase date. Customers should provide a photo receipt if not purchased through xssights.com. Sights that have been installed and test fired still qualify for exchange or refund. For more information or assistance email tech@xssight.com or call (888) 744-4880.
XS offers a variety of pistol sights including the following:
DXT2® Big Dot® Night Sights – This second-generation version of the company’s popular Big Dot sights offers exceptional front sight visibility in all lighting conditions. Available in two colors – Optic Yellow™ and Optic Orange™ – the DXT2 Big Dot sights drive focus to the front sight (and thus to the downrange threat) using a large, high-contrast front and a V-notch rear sight for an unobstructed view of the front sight.
F8® Night Sights – Excellent personal defense sights for fast target acquisition in all light conditions. Featuring a figure-eight, inline sight picture for an easy two-point alignment, the F8 sights are designed to instantly increase front sight focus thanks to the large (0.160” wide) high-contrast front sight with a photoluminescent orange colored ring surrounding the tritium.
RAM™ Night Sights – The brightest 3-dot sight options for fast and accurate shooting in bright and low light. RAM (radioactive material) night sights have a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture. The rear sight is blacked out to increase contrast against the front sight which is available in bright orange or green. The front sight features XS’s proprietary Ember® Glow Dot technology, which absorbs ambient light and glows in low light. The front tritium lamp in the RAM sight charges the Ember Glow Dot, making the front sight glow brighter than the rear, keeping one’s focus down range.

Galco is excited to introduce the best-selling FasTrax PAC™ in black MultiCam®, a stylish and distinctive option on the world’s most modern concealed carry waistpack. Designed to blend with casual modern clothing styles while discreetly carrying a compact defensive handgun, the FasTrax PAC keeps you ready for action.
Unlike old-style waistpacks that required the user to dig deeply into the pack to draw the handgun, the FasTrax PAC uses a highly innovative combination of a pivoting holster component and external activation cord. This enables you to unzip the pack and get your gun into action quickly compared to legacy waistpack designs. As we all know, speed is often in very short supply when you need a handgun to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Comfort is key when carrying all day, of course. To maximize wearer comfort, the FasTrax PAC’s back panel is made of Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, a soft and breathable adaptive performance mesh that keeps the pack comfortable against your body when worn all day long – even on sweaty trips to the gym or summer jogs.
Convenient concealment is also important. The FasTrax’s adjustable, stretchable elasticized waist strap also helps make for easy carry, and uses a Nexus® buckle for quick on-off capability. The pack’s contemporary 400 denier packcloth body has a zippered pocket that carries EDC items like keys, a wallet, phone or flashlight. A helpful pass-through port on the front pocket accommodates cables for earbuds or other devices.
The versatile FasTrax is easily adjustable to fit a wide range of handguns. From .380s like the Ruger LCP to smaller fighting pistols like the Glock 43X, and including small-frame revolvers, it’ll fit just about any popular compact or subcompact defensive handgun.
Galco’s patent-pending FasTrax PAC tops the list for comfortable, convenient carry and speed into action in an increasingly casually-dressed world. Also available in gray/black, it retails for $79.
Galco International, LTD is the designer and manufacturer of the Galco holster brand, the premier American-made line of superb-quality holsters, belts and accessories. Encompassing law enforcement, military, defensive and sporting use, the Galco brand utilizes leather, nylon, injection-molded plastic and Kydex® to meet the demands of today’s consumers. The award-winning Matrix™ line of holsters and accessories, women’s holster handbags, tactical slings and hunting accessories round out the line. All Galco products are proudly made in the USA since 1969.

MPA will also sponsor multiple PRS Pro Matches throughout 2020, including the 2020 PRS Finale.
MPA BA Competition Chassis
Comer, Ga. (March 2020) – MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, is honored to have been named the Official Chassis of the 2020 Precision Rifle Series (PRS) Season. This is the fourth consecutive year that MPA has been named the Official Chassis of the PRS. MPA will also sponsor multiple PRS Pro matches throughout the year, including the 2020 PRS Finale, held Dec. 13 – 15, 2020, in Ninnekah, Oklahoma. In addition, MPA will host the MPA Spring Shootout and the MPA Summer Shootout during 2020, which have proved to be two of the more popular PRS Pro Series matches in the past.
“We have a long and deep commitment to the long-range shooting community, and we are truly humbled and honored to once again be named the Official Chassis of the PRS. We never want a customer to regret the decision to purchase one of our hand-built precision rifles, so we are constantly listening to their feedback and continue to use it to produce a better product,” commented Phil Cashin, owner of MPA. “We are committed to producing innovative, quality-built chassis and rifles that every shooter can rely on.”
The MPA BA Competition Chassis is the competition version of MPA’s highly successful MPA BA Chassis System. It is designed to give shooters a competitive advantage when shooting in long-range tactical rifle competitions, such as the PRS. Features include an Enhance Vertical Grip (EVG), a front night vision bridge, lower Picatinny rail, multiple QD sling swivel locations, a V4 spigot mount, an ultra bag rider, and a two-round holder. The unique pocketing system reduces weight and increases the structural integrity of the chassis. MSRP ranges from $999 – $1,150.
MasterPiece Arms introduced its most revolutionary chassis configuration yet, the MPA Matrix Chassis, in the fall of 2019. This is an enhanced version of MPA’s highly successful BA Chassis System. With a multitude of configurations in grips, thumb rests and trigger finger supports, the primary interface between the shooter and the rifle (the grip) has over 100 different variations. The MPA Matrix Chassis features five different grip options (three swept and two vertical), three different thumb rest designs and four different trigger finger supports. It also has M-LOK slots along the side of the chassis forend and barricade stop holes along the bottom of the forend. The forend of the chassis is the same length as the MPA ESR Chassis, making it two inches longer than the standard BA or BA Competition Chassis. MSRP ranges $1,250 – $1,450.
MasterPiece Arms continues to keep the PRS shooter in mind with its BA PMR (Precision Match Rifle) Pro Competition Rifle, which is designed specifically for the Production Class requirements of the PRS, keeping in mind the revised increased price threshold of $2,500 for the 2020 season. This is an approved rifle for the Production Class of the PRS and includes many competition-related features while staying under the $2,500 price limit.
The PRS is the preeminent rifle organization in the world, structuring a yearly point race for both the PRS Pro Bolt Gun Series and the PRS Regional Series. The PRS Championship Shooting Series is synonymous with precision rifle shooting. The PRS is home to countless competitors, including 6,000 active PRS shooters with scores being tracked. The PRS unites the 40 most renowned national pro series precision rifle competitions and continues to expand the PRS Regional Series, which hosts hundreds of one-day matches from coast to coast. The influence of the PRS, with more than 1,000 professional-level competitions and growing global presence, extends in every conceivable direction inspiring the precision rifle community at its grassroots, hometown level.

The non-profit Team 5 Medical Foundation sets off on a five month, five continent expedition to bring medical relief across the globe, supported by donations from individuals and companies like Tasmanian Tiger®.
Miramar, Fla. (March 2020) – Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., and Silver Sponsor for the Team 5 Medical Foundation, has donated $25,000 to support their five month, five continent expedition around the world to bring much needed medical care to hard-to-reach populations.
The Team 5 expedition “Deploying for Humanity,” was the brainchild of Team 5 Medical Foundation founder, Eric Linder, to “deploy, explore new locations that have been overlooked, forgotten or undiscovered. Then, break bread with village elders and leaders and learn the culture and gain trust with them.” The volunteer teams will also inspect and inventory clinics and medical facilities, provide mini-clinics for local healthcare providers, generate information on demographics, patient assessments and needs of the community. As part of their initiative, Team 5 members will also gather information for partners working with clean water initiatives and human trafficking. Once all the information is gathered and reviewed, Team 5 will return in 2021 to the hosting village with surgical and medical plans in place, including providing medications, surgery, and educational courses.
The Team 5 volunteers comprised of a doctor, PA/RN/SF medics, Veterinarian, Logistics, translators, and cameramen are currently in Guatemala, where they begin their journey.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – March 10, 2020 – The Decatur, Texas Police Department has deployed the FACT Duty™ Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC™) in the field. Police Chief Rex Hoskins, Captain Delvon Campbell and officials from Minnesota-based Viridian Weapon Technologies will give a short news conference on the impact of the new technology. The news conference will take place at 10:00 AM at the Decatur Conference Center (Great Hall) located at 1910 West US HWY 380, Decatur, Texas 76234.
Decatur’s announcement comes on the heels of a high-profile trial in Vernon, Texas just last month. For the first time, footage from Viridian’s gun camera was used in an officer-involved shooting (OIS) trial, and a jury quickly convicted the defendant of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a public official. The WMC provided the critical evidence in the case by showing the defendant pointing a sawed-off shotgun at Vernon Police Corporal T.J. Session during an exchange of gunfire in which both Corporal Session and the defendant were shot and wounded.
“The Weapon-Mounted Cameras now in use by our department better prepare them for the dangers and realities facing police officers today,” said Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins. “The FACT Duty provides a perspective different from any other cameras available today. We saw this when we first learned of the cameras, and last month’s trial in Wilbarger County was very compelling reinforcement on why we want it for our officers.”
Viridian has created an important category for law enforcement with the introduction of the Weapon-Mounted Camera. This distinctive camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras.
“The decision by Chief Hoskins and other law enforcement agencies across the country further demonstrates the need for our FACT Duty gun camera,” Viridian President and CEO, Brian Hedeen, said. “Our technology can be a supplement or alternative to body cameras as a mandatory evidentiary tool to provide the critical evidence of a subject’s actions at the time a police officer is forced to make the split-second decision to pull the trigger.”
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, including sample video and access to Decatur and Viridian personnel for comment, is available before or after the news conference by contacting Tim Brandt attim.brandt@murrayroadagency.com or calling 763-291-9044.

Galco Is Excited To Introduce The FasTrax PAC Elite!
Following closely on the enormously successful introduction of the FasTrax PAC™ waistpack at SHOT Show 2020, Galco is excited to introduce a full-grain leather version – the FasTrax PAC™ Elite! Designed to blend with casual modern clothing styles, the Elite discreetly carries a compact defensive handgun ready for action.
Unlike old-style waistpacks that required the user to dig deeply into the pack to draw the handgun, the FasTrax PAC Elite uses a highly innovative combination of a pivoting holster component and external activation cord. This enables you to unzip the pack and get your gun into action quickly compared to legacy waistpack designs. As we all know, speed is often in very short supply when you need a handgun to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Comfort is key when carrying all day, of course. To maximize wearer comfort, the FasTrax PAC Elite’s back panel is made of Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, a soft and breathable adaptive performance mesh that keeps the pack comfortable against your body when worn all day long.
Convenient concealment is also important. The FasTrax’s adjustable, stretchable elasticized waist strap also helps make for easy carry, and uses a Nexus® buckle for quick on-off capability. The pack’s contemporary full-grain leather body and front face features a zippered pocket that carries EDC items like keys, a wallet, phone or flashlight. A helpful pass-through device on the front pocket accommodates cables for earbuds or other devices.
The versatile FasTrax is easily adjustable to fit a wide range of handguns. From .380s like the Ruger LCP to smaller fighting pistols like the Glock 43X, and including small-frame revolvers, it’ll fit just about any popular compact or subcompact defensive handgun. Fully ambidextrous, it also easily converts from right hand to left hand use.
Galco’s patent-pending FasTrax PAC Elite is at the top of the list for comfortable, convenient carry and speed into action in an increasingly casually-dressed world. Available in black, it retails for $99.
Galco International, LTD is the designer and manufacturer of the Galco holster brand, the premier American-made line of superb-quality holsters, belts and accessories. Encompassing law enforcement, military, defensive and sporting use, the Galco brand utilizes leather, nylon, injection-molded plastic and Kydex® to meet the demands of today’s consumers.

Gainesville, GA (March 9, 2020) For some long-range shooters, their “range bag” is whatever they can stuff into their jacket pockets. For others, the actual bag resembles an oversized suitcase and weighs as much as a St. Bernard!
A better option? A range bag that can be carried in one hand or over the shoulder, holding a shooter’s most commonly-needed gear items plus a few pieces for emergencies, is ideal for long-range shooters.
Curt Vaughn, Head of Product for Ballistic and a long-range shooting competitor, carries his range bag to hundreds of practice sessions and competitions annually. Over the years, he’s found that a selection of tools in his range bag is a huge help.
BONUS ITEMS: “I make sure I have a selection of Allen wrenches, Torx wrenches, a scope level kit, pliers and a crescent wrench,” Vaughn said. “You can’t carry everything, of course, and I focus on the tools I might need to make minor adjustments and quick repairs. These aren’t just for me, but, in a match, someone else might need them, too.”
He suggests tossing in a sharp pocketknife, too, which can be a lifesaver in dozens of situations. Likewise, a roll of masking or duct tape can fulfill a thousand and one uses.
Safety is always on the mind of the shooter, so that means hearing protection and shooting glasses should also be found in your bag. Vaughn likes to make sure he has extra safety glasses and hearing protection in his range bag. “Another shooter or competitor might need them,” Vaughn noted. “Either they were forgotten, or the items experienced a malfunction. Hey, we long-range shooters are here to help each other, right?”
To have these very-needed items at your fingertips, here are two of our favorite new range bags:
— The Ulfhednar Short Day Range Bag is a durable field bag with a tough, water-resistant exterior made from Cordura nylon. Inside is a removable bag that simplifies the organization of items, while an ergonomic carrying strap with non-slip material makes transporting this bag super easy. The Short Day Range Bag features a side pocket with a removable “table” for smaller accessories.
— The Plano X2 Range Bag Medium includes a hard pistol case and ammo can providing sturdy, dependable protection for firearms and ammunition. Remove either of the molded items for large bulk storage, though there’s plenty of room on the exterior to take care of additional storage needs. Easy-carry handles and comfortable, removable shoulder strap makes this the perfect “grab and go anytime” range bag.
For a great day of long-range shooting, load up and carry on!
Ballistic is the definitive ballistics trajectory calculator, intended for long-range and precision shooters who want a serious–and a seriously accurate–application.

The world-renowned JBM Ballistics engine powers all Ballistic computations. Ballistic is used by competition shooters, long-range hunters, and the military to deliver the most precise calculations possible.
With Ballistic, you’ll be able to make the most accurate calculations for every shot, everywhere, even in areas with no cellular coverage.

NEWINGTON, N.H., (March 9, 2020) – SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG professional shooter Daniel Horner for his first place finish in the Tactical-Optics Division at the 2020 ExCommunicado 3-Gun Match at the CowTown Range in Phoneix, Arizona, February 22-23, 2020.
“It’s great to see Daniel develop in his professional shooting career, and compete in 3-Gun matches that present unique challenges to test his skills and bring his shooting to the next level,” said Tom Taylor Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This match required Daniel to run every stage with his P320 XFIVE pistol, M400 Rifle, and shotgun seriously testing his ability to adjust and change his competition mindset quickly.”
To take his first place title in the Tactical-Optics Division at the 2020 ExCommunicado 3-Gun Match Horner competed through 7 stages, against 147 competitors, and firing 320 rounds out to 500 yards. For pistol competition Horner used his P320 XFIVE LEGION pistol with iron sights and SIG 147 grain Match Elite 9mm Competition Ammunition. For long-range competition Horner used his SIG SAUER M400 Competition rifle with a SIG SAUER Electro-Optics TANGO6T riflescope, SIG 40 grain 223 REM Varmint and Predator Ammunition, and a SIG KILO2400ABS Rangefinder.
“This was a great match and every stage presented challenges that required on-the-spot tactical adjustments in order to put myself in a position to place at the top of the field,” added Horner. “This match required significant strategic adjustments depending on what equipment I was shooting and helped me further develop the mental aspect of my competition. This was a really fun match, the staff was great, and I can’t wait to return next year to defend my title.”
The SIG SAUER equipment used by Team SIG Pro Shooter Daniel Horner including the SIG SAUER Electro-Optics TANGO6T riflescope, KILO2400ABS Rangefinder, 223REM Varmint and Predator Ammunition, and 9MM SIG Match Elite Competition Ammunition can be purchased online at sigsauer.com/store or retailers everywhere.

Slovakia is the 6th nation to choose the 5th generation SPIKE LR2
TEL AVIV, March 5, 2020 – The Slovak Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with Eurospike (a European Joint Venture between Rafael Advanced Defence Systems Ltd., Diehl Defence and Rheinmettal Electronics) for the supply of the advanced 5thgeneration SPIKE LR2 ATGM and dismounted advanced ICLU launchers (Integrated Control Launch Units). The procurement was carried out through the NATO Support & Procurement Agency (NSPA).
The Slovak army is the 6th armed force to choose the modern 5th generation SPIKE LR2, and it is part of another 34 SPIKE user nations. Slovakia is also the 3rd NATO nation which will be using the SPIKE LR2 and follow the seamless transition by SPIKE Missile user nations from 4th generation SPIKE LR missiles to the 5th generation SPIKE LR2 Missile variant fired from the same vehicle or dismounted launchers.
In April 2018 the Slovak MOD published the successful results of the field testing phase of the Slovak Turra 30 mm Remote Control Weapon Stations (RCWS) mounted on Patria vehicles including multiple launch of vehicle-mounted SPIKE Missiles from the EVPU RCWS.
The current contract includes dismounted launchers, signifying that the SPIKE LR2 is now the ATGM of choice both for the Slovak infantry as well as for its cavalry.
SPIKE LR2 is a cutting-edge 5th generation, multi-platform, multi-mission and multi-range electro-optical missile, with enhanced standoff range of 5.5 km, fire & forget capabilities as well as man-in-the-loop features, such as retargeting mid-flight, attack of hidden targets beyond-line–of-sight, as well as the ability to launch to non-line-of-sight targets based solely on their geo-coordinates.
Slovakia is among 19th EU / NATO SPIKE missile user nations. More than 33,000 SPIKE missiles have been supplied to-date around the world, with over 6000 SPIKE missiles firings, both in training and in combat.
The selection of the SPIKE LR2 missile by the Slovak armed forces will allow the Slovakia army 5th generation tactical overmatch. This purchase is part of the ongoing modernization of armed forces taking place around Europe, in which the SPIKE Missiles have assumed a major role in enhancing deterrence and capability.
EUROSPIKE Managing Director, Mr. Wolfgang Herrnberger :
“We are very thankful for the confidence of the Slovak army and would like also to thank NSPA for their quick responsiveness and professionalism. This procurement by Slovakia follows past contracts of SPIKE Missile by Germany, Baltic States Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, as well as many other European countries, which has created common ATGM capabilities within Europe, serving interoperability and potentially future cross-nation mutual support”.

Unlike current factory loaded 6.5 Carcano ammunition, Steinel’s load respects the original concept, thus providing outstanding accuracy as in its original format in 1891.
Twinsburg, Ohio (February 2020) – Steinel Ammunition, a manufacturer of premium vintage military, hunting, and self-defense ammunition, tackles another milsurp round, bringing back its original accuracy performance: the 6.5 x 52mm Carcano.
The 6.5x52mm Carcano cartridge has been around since 1891, and was only phased out of military service in the 1970s. Carcano rifles were strong actions, and most used gain-twist rifling to extend barrel life and improve accuracy. Heavy for the caliber projectiles, it retained useful energy levels despite the round nose form. The original lead core bullets had poor terminal performance, so later designs filled the bullet nose with less dense aluminum to promote tumbling on impact. Nearly 3 million Carcano rifles were built, and many of them sold in the US as surplus.
Unfortunately, until recently the ammunition supply did not keep up with demand. Corrosive World War II vintage or older surplus ammunition is unavailable, and what can be found should not be shot due to the uncertainties surrounding the storage conditions. A relatively affordable PPU load is available but offers very poor accuracy due to the severely undersized bullets used in all observed samples, resulting in unstabilized projectiles right from the muzzle.
Fortunately, an excellent target load is now available from Steinel Ammunition. The new cartridges use soft point expanding bullets that provide excellent terminal effect and accuracy while promoting reliable feeding. Loaded to 1,770 fps (from 17.5in barrels), this load offers a significantly lighter recoil than the original, while retaining good terminal performance at distances reasonable with iron sights. At short range, the bullet expands to about 0.516-inch with 39-inch penetration of synthetic gel, sufficient for a double-shoulder shot on a deer. This ammunition is non-corrosive and made to much higher quality and more consistent specifications than either military surplus or other commercial loadings.
Steinel Ammunition’s new vintage military round, the 6.5×52 Carcano is available online for $31.99 a 20-rd. box.

Kansas City, KS (March 4, 2020) – CZ-USA expands the very popular Shadow 2 line of competition-ready pistols with the new CZ Shadow 2 SA. That’s right-SA as in a Single Action pistol with one of the best pistol triggers available!
While not legal for USPSA Production Division like the standard Shadow version, the CZ Shadow 2 SA and its lighter, crisper SA trigger gives the target-shooting enthusiast the ability to punch paper with precision!
Outwardly identical to the standard Shadow 2, the new Shadow 2 SA is chambered in 9MM and requires the hammer to be cocked for it to fire. Finished in black and with a set of blue aluminum grips and a blue trigger, it’s a striking pistol that is a fun and easy to shoot-for hours at a time.
The Shadow 2 SA features the same shooter-friendly ergonomics of the Shadow 2, and can be used for plinking, or 3 Gun competitions. Like the original Shadow 2, the CZ Shadow 2 SA sports aggressive checking on the aluminum grips for a solid hold, even when the shooter’s hands are dirty and sweaty from running stages. The front and backstrap are nicely checkered, too.
Other features include a 17+1 magazine capacity, an easy to pick up fiber optic front sight, a black HAJO rear (click adjustable for elevation, drift adjustable for windage), three-position adjustable mag release and an ambidextrous manual safety. All of this at an affordable price!

RICHMOND, Va. (March 4, 2020) — German Precision Optics (GPO) announces two new riflescopes to its line of premium optics. Designed for today’s demanding hunter, the new PASSION™ 5X riflescopes offer precise, reliable and high quality performance for diverse hunting scenarios. Featuring a 30 mm tube, the proprietary GPObright™ high-transmission lens coating technology, PASSIONdrop™ hydrophobic exterior lens coatings and a double HD glass objective lens, the new 1-5x24i and 3.5-18x56i riflescopes provide hunters with enhanced clarity, exceptional brightness and true color from dawn to dusk.
Exclusive to GPO and featured on the new 5X magnification scopes is the “micro-fiber optic dot” iCONTROL™ illumination system. This proprietary system can be adjusted between barely visible for low-light conditions or extremely bright for daylight usage and features an extreme fine microfiber optic dot for precise close and long-range shooting. The system automatically powers down the illumination when the electronic module has been stationary for more than three hours and alerts the user when the battery has 15 percent power remaining.
The easy-to-read cm adjustable turret with rotation markings, fast-focus rubberized ocular, and an extra-wide magnification adjustment ring make both of these scopes ideal for any hunting situation. The 3.5-18×56 is available with the ballistic Mil-base and the 1.5x24i comes with the illuminated G4i reticle.
Second focal-plane scopes, the new 1-5x24i and 3.5-18x56i are crafted from a solid, one-piece dust-proof, waterproof, nitrogen-filled body that offers constant point-of-impact and the ultimate in strength and durability. 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 www.gpo-usa.com.

Galco is excited to announce a Combat Master™ belt holster for the extremely popular SIG-Sauer P365 pistol!
The Combat Master is a professional-grade belt holster constructed of the top 2% of premium steerhide available in America, hand-molded by our experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns. This gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance.
But beauty is only skin-deep, especially in a holster designed for concealment. The Combat Master’s traditional high-riding pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster, pulling the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear under even light clothing. It also features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed – since time is always in short supply in defensive situations.
The Combat Master’s covered trigger ensures safe carry. Meanwhile, its double-stitched seams enhance durability, making the Combat Master one of the longest-lasting holsters money can buy.
Lastly, the Combat Master’s twin belt slots fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide, so it blends perfectly with current clothing styles. And blending in is the name of the game when we’re talking about concealed carry!
Available in black or tan, the Combat Master is available at an MSRP of $99.

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – March 4, 2020 – Savage Arms’ new shotgun is redefining the way shooters think about versatility. With its Dual Regulating Inline Valve gas system and adjustable stock, Renegauge Field is one of the most ergonomic and adaptable semi-automatic shotguns ever made.
“Renegauge can do it all,” Jessica Treglia, Senior Brand Manager at Savage Arms said. “With the D.R.I.V. gas system, shooters can go from the range to the hunt without making any adjustments to the gas system. From target practice to dove hunts—or even high-flying geese—Renegauge Field can do it all.”
The American made Renegauge Field is available with a 28” or 26” barrel. Every Renegauge is built with Savage’s commitment to refined ergonomics. The fit of a Renegauge can be adjusted in 20 different ways. From the length of pull and the comb height to the drop at heel, the stock can expand or contract as needed. This perfect fit is crucial for accuracy and performance.
And Renegauge has even more adaptability built into its action. The D.R.I.V. gas system takes only the pressure it needs from each shot to cycle the action. Any excess pressure is vented through the front of the gun. The result is a fine-tuned action that can cycle low-recoil target shells as easily as it cycles magnum hunting loads, and with no need for adjustment from users.

Steinel Ammunition Co., known for their hard to source, unique MILSurp loads and premium hunting and target ammo, have designed a 9mm 124gr. Subcompact Carry SCHP round for EDC.
Twinsburg, Ohio (March 2020) – Steinel Ammunition, a premium manufacturer of self-defense, hunting, and target ammunition, has launched its first-of-its-kind premium defensive ammo for the 9mm with the 9mm 124gr. Subcompact Carry Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP).
“This 9mm Subcompact Carry round is our first mainstream round we’ve added to our product line-up,” Andy Steinel, president of Steinel Ammunition, explained. “Although we have come to be known for our premium MILSurp rounds, we figured, even though we all love to go to the range and shoot these amazing classic firearms, we also carry defensive firearms every day. So why shouldn’t we have the same quality ammunition in our EDC as we do in our fine military collectibles?”
The Steinel 9mm Subcompact Carry load is perfectly suitable for any 9mm, regardless of barrel length, but its performance is optimized for the shorter, subcompact and compact-sized pistols. Taking the standard “cup and core” jacketed hollow point typically used in 9mm rounds for decades, Steinel Ammunition added modern CNC and EDM technology to produce their premium SCHP bullet.
Steinel Ammunition’s 9mm Subcompact Carry bullets combine premium components such as Maker Solid Copper Hollow Point bullets, new Starline nickel-plated casings, Hodgdon powder, and CCI’s primers. The bullets expand to a diameter of 0.706” when fired from a 3” barrel at 960 FPS. Fired from a 4.7” barrel, the bullet expanded to a diameter of .857” with 1,050 FPS velocity.
Steinel Ammunition’s new 9mm 124 gr. Subcompact Carry SCHP round is available online for $19.99 for a box of 20 rounds.
