ARS bullet traps safely stop bullets known for maximum stopping power; turn any suitable space into a shooting range

It takes utmost confidence to steadily advance to within a foot of a bullet trap’s face while pouring in everything from 9mm to .50 BMG rounds. Yet, that’s what Gary Mol, founder of American Range Systems, routinely does while testing the company’s many innovative bullet trap designs.

American Range Systems bullet traps are setting the pace for personal and professional range applications, facilitating the transformation of almost any space—from basements and barns to backyards and farms—into shooting ranges. Nine distinct models are available across ARS’sRanger, Warrior, Mobile and Badger lines, offering rugged, safe and reliable performance in any shooting application, from .22LR to .50 BMG.

The new ARS Mobile bullet trap is both versatile and affordable. It adjusts from ground height up to 6’ and is designed for calibers ranging from .22LR to the most potent .300 magnums, offering an incredible combination of portability and flexibility.

“You can hook it to an ATV and take it over uneven terrain, or put in in the back of a pickup and easily move it around in training settings,” says Mol. “Shooting paper targets at a range has its place, but the mobile unit is invaluable in terms of injecting challenge and authenticity. Tape a standard 16×24-inch target to it and move it around, creating variability for the situation without requiring security personnel to deviate from their vantage point. Move the target – not the shooter!” 

Besides the Mobile unit, American Range Systems’ consumer lineup consists of the popular Ranger series, designed for handguns; Badger clearing boxes for gunsmiths, gun shops and law enforcement that can handle .300 magnums; and the Warrior series, which includes the mighty Warrior 858 Max and versatile Warrior 540. The Warrior 858 Max stops everything .357 Mag up to .50 BMG, including ball ammo, armor piercing and tracer rounds.

The units set up easily. Just attach a target and zero your weapon, then back off and shoot.

“You can shoot as close as you want, which is great for practicing with your pistol, “Mol says. “Hunting enthusiasts who like to work up their own loads can set a unit in their basement or garage near their reloading bench and shoot through a chronograph and do all the ballistics work you could never get done at a public range.”

So, how do American Range Systems traps do such an effective job at stopping bullets? The technical term is “inelastic collision.” First, a uniquely designed, self-healing ballistic face slows down projectiles on impact. The bullet then collides back & forth with the ballistic compound medium that rapidly slows its momentum. If a bullet passes through the medium, the patented rear-angled AR-500 steel panels deflect high-powered projectiles back into the ballistic medium where they stop. ARS traps don’t result in the intense bullet fragmentation often seen in other trap designs. Users can reclaim the lead, since the bullets stay largely intact. This patented design solves both safety and environmental concerns.

The self-healing face material includes several layers of woven-in fabric. “I’m bringing a new face to the SHOT Show,” Mol says. “We shot it about 74,000 times and the unit was still working with that face. We’ve got some faces that have been shot more than 30,000 times and still look almost brand new.”

Mol calls maintenance on American Range Systems units “the utmost in simplicity. All you need is a ¾-inch wrench, a dustpan and a broom; that’s it. Simply remove two bolts and swing the door open. The old face hangs on two pins inside the door. You take the old one off, put the new one on, shut the door and tighten it. “I wish I could make it sound more complicated!” Mol says.

Doug Veldhuizen, National Sales Manager for ARS parent company, Nexus Outdoors, notes that a reliable American Range Systems bullet trap on a personal range helps mitigate the otherwise worrisome liability concerns about bullets going awry. “There are all kinds of potential safety problems associated with shooting on private property ranging from deflected bullets hitting neighboring livestock to ricochets hitting vehicles or dwellings. These units can solve many of those problems.”

Attendees at next week’s SHOT Show can take a personal look at American Range Systems’ new Mobile model in the New Products Center, and talk with Mol and Veldhuizen while viewing additional ARS models at Booth #2333.

Axeon Second Zero Opens Up Long Range Possibilities

FORT SMITH, Ark. (January 16, 2019) – The Axeon® Second Zero® is a precision optical device that gives any rifle shooter an instant additional zero distance whether in hunting or tactical application. It works with all optical sights from rifle scopes to dot sights.
Shooters typically zero their rifles with one consistent load at a known distance. The Second Zero provides your optic either a 4.3 or 11.5 MOA adjustment just by flipping its prismatic lens in front of your rifle scope or red dot. For many popular rifle loads this equates to an additional zero of 330 or 530 yards.
A 3×9 scope dialed in at 100 yards makes a .30-06 a versatile hunting tool. But what happens when a deer breaks through the hedgerow more than 320 yards out? While some hunters are well versed in ballistics and bullet drop, many don’t readily keep that information accessible or can recall in that short moment of “trophy opportunity”. The Second Zero offers a simple solution that eliminates the need for hold-over. There’s no complex math involved. Simply flip down the Second Zero precision lens, put the crosshairs on the target, and pull the trigger.

The Second Zero, a patented prism optical device invented by John Baker of TACOHMQ, will revolutionize the way shooters achieve accuracy at long distances. It mounts forward of a traditional scope or other optic such as a red dot or ACOG. Optics function normally when the Second Zero is not being used. When engaged, the prisms of the Second Zero, shift the image by its pre-determined MOA value to compensate for bullet drop. Simply place the crosshairs on the target just as you would at 100 yards.
Mounting the Second Zero is simple. Attach it to the bell of a scope or install the rail mount model on available rail space in front of an optic using its quick connect mount. The prismatic lens shifts the optical image without magnification, so the size of the target doesn’t change. Because it shifts the target image optically (not mechanically) before a targeting device “sees” that image, the shift works when paired with any optic. Precision alignment is not required. The shooter sees the same image before and after the Second Zero is employed.
The Second Zero is the fastest way to compensate for bullet drop at extended range. In less time than it takes to read this sentence, and without looking away from the target, a shooter can instantly pull up the Second Zero. Available online now and from gun dealers in spring 2019 for an MSRP of $79.99.

Lyman Products Unveil Over 40 New Products and Line Additions for 2019

Lyman continues to grow famous line of reloading equipment with new innovative products, as well as expand their shooting sports gear offerings.

Middletown, Conn. (January 2019) – Lyman® Products will be showcasing a variety of new products and line additions for their Lyman®, TacStar®, Pachmayr®, A-Zoom® and Butch’s® brands during the 2019 SHOT Show. The SHOT Show, which is one of the US’s top 25 largest trade shows, gathers over 60,000 shooting sports and outdoor retailers from around the world. At booth #12724, Lyman Products exhibits their full line of reloading tools and products, alongside their growing shooting sports accessories. This year will be no exception with the introduction of over 40 new products, available to retailers during the course of the year.

Trevor Mullen, VP of Global Marketing and Business Development for Lyman Products, explained, “The SHOT Show is a key component of our sales and marketing strategy. It is the stage in which we reveal new products our R&D team have been developing all year to meet the needs of our customer base. It is also a great opportunity to see our retailer customers and meet new ones.”

For 2019, Lyman continues to expand the Brass Smith line with the Case Trim Xpress™, a faster way for rifle reloaders to trim cases. Available in either 115V or 230V, the Case Trim Xpress can quickly and accurately trim brass at a rate of approximately 15 cases a minute! Using its own motor (no need for a power drill or separate motor), the Case Trim Xpress comes with 10 bushings that fit the most popular bottleneck rifle cartridges.

Another Lyman product new for this year is the only press stand on the market that will accept most current single station, turret and progressive presses of any brand: the Lyman Universal Press Stand*. This fatigue-reducing, all steel, heavy duty press stand allows the user to raise the press 9 ¼” above the bench surface, providing a clear view of all reloading operations while keeping the operator in an upright, back-healthy position.

The new Tac-Mat™ Long Range Shooting Mats provide comfort and durability for shooters in the fastest growing sport: long range, precision shooting. Tactical operators and varmint hunters will also enjoy the large footprint the mat offers, while still being able to roll the shooting mat into a compact, easy to transport size. The Tac-Mat will be offered in two versions: a basic design in 600D construction with a carry handle and shoulder strap, or the heavy-duty version (HD) in 1000D construction with elbow pads, a built-in bipod stop, carry handle and shoulder strap.

Some of the hottest guns to hit the market lately have been the Mossberg® Shockwave and the Remington® Tac14. The short 14” barrel and “birds head” style pistol grip makes them excellent choices for CQB and personal defense with an added punch. Pachmayr®, a premier Lyman brand name in gun grips, introduces the new Tactical Grip Glove. This quick-to-install slip-on-grip provides better control and a much-appreciated reduction of felt recoil. The thicker padded palm area helps with the recoil and a single finger positioning groove and non-slip texture provide a sure, positive grip.

Danyela D’Angelo to Appear at Kahr Firearms Group SHOT Show Booth

(Greeley, PA) – Kahr Firearms Group, a leader in innovative firearms design and manufacturing, is proud to announce that 16-year old competitive shooter Danyela D’Angelo will make a special appearance at the Kahr Firearms Group SHOT Show booth #13962.
D’Angelo will be in the Kahr Firearms Group booth during the SHOT Show for a Fan Meet & Greet, where she will be signing posters and talking to fans. Her scheduled appearance times are:
Tuesday, Jan 22 from 2 – 3 pm
Wednesday, Jan 23 from 2 – 3 pm
Danyela D’Angelo began shooting competitively at the age of 11, with her father’s invitation. Since then, D’Angelo has fired hundreds of thousands of rounds through practice and competitive events. By 2015, she was shooting in multiple local USPSA pistol matches each month, and discovered 3 Gun Competitions soon after. Her training and competitive experience have given her a valuable perspective: “Winning is just one aspect of competing. You have to lose a lot more than you win, so handling that is a big part of success,” D’Angelo says. She enjoys the competition shooting lifestyle and the relationships with people and companies, like Kahr Firearms Group, that it has afforded her. While D’Angelo continues to train with her father regularly, she also works with trainer and 7-discipline USPSA Grandmaster Nick Saiti of Secret Weapon Training.
D’Angelo’s skill and determination are beyond her years. Seeing her videos on social media, and watching her adeptly handle a .50 cal Desert Eagle, for example, make it hard to believe that she is a teenage girl rather than a seasoned professional. D’Angelo completed the last MGM Ironman at only 14 years old. She has competed in the Hard as Hell Multigun Match for the last four years. Her “tools” include a Beretta 1301 12-gauge, POF USA Renegade Plus in 5.56 with Vortex optics, and her Eddie Garcia custom open division .38 super comp race gun. D’Angelo continues to accumulate as many points as she can in hopes of representing the US at the 2020 World Shoot in Thailand. She works hard to balance school work with the demands of competition training so that she can become a lawyer in the future.

The AAC Jaeger, Not Just a Silencer but an Experience Enhancer

 

clip_image002[8]

Huntsville, AL – The Jaeger 30 was designed to provide hunters with superior sound and recoil reduction when used on single-shot or bolt action rifles chambered up to 300 Win Mag.

The Jaeger 30 features a Grade 9 Titanium mount and blast chamber. The outer tube and monolithic core are machined from 7075 T6 Aluminum. The black anodized Titanium mount is the strongest component of the silencer, it carries the serial number and data panel. The 5/8-24 threads of the Jaeger 30 are compatible with the majority of .30 caliber hunting rifles found in today’s marketplace. The 7075 T6 Aluminum tube and monocore are finished with Type 3 hard coat anodize.

The Jaeger 30 can reduce to below 140 dB the sound pressure that results from the discharge of some of today’s most popular 30-caliber cartridges (e.g. 300 WM, 308 WIN, and 300 BLK)*. All this is accomplished by only adding 13.9 oz and 9 inches to your rifle’s overall length. The Jaeger 30 truly packs a lot of performance into a small, lightweight, and affordable package.

Barrett 4050 SDR obtains FCC and Industry Canada approval

 

Barrett 4050 SDR obtains FCC and Industry Canada approval

Perth, Western Australia, 15 January 2019 – In November 2018 Barrett Communications was advised that the 4050 HF SDR transceiver was granted authorization by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States and by Industry Canada.
This product authorization was for FCC compliance under Rule Parts 87 – Aviation and Rule Part 90 – Private Land Mobile Radio. Industry Canada product authorization was under RSS-125 Issue 2 – AM Land‐Mobile and/or Fixed Radio Transmitter and Receiver. FCC approval is particularly defined within the United States but is also seen by many countries in South America and international organizations within the civil aviation, such as ICAO, as part of their homologation process.
Mr. Andrew Burt, CEO of Barrett Communications commented “The American and Canadian markets continues to grow for Barrett Communications and we will continue to seek relevant approvals for the products we design and manufacture.”
In 2016 when the United States government were tightening secure cargo laws, Barrett Communications were successful in becoming a Known Consignor. This Known Consignor status has allowed Barrett to continue to export products into the United States without the need for additional costs of authorized inspections or lengthy delays due to the increased security on air freight.
Mr Burt went on to say “Barrett Communications have always considered these markets to be significant, and our commitment to existing and new customers in this market will continue to be a focus for us.”

About Barrett Communications
Barrett Communications is the specialist Australian designer and manufacturer of commercial and tactical HF and VHF radio communication systems.
The Company’s global distribution to over 150 countries and customer support network in over 65 countries allows it to provide both OTS and turnkey network solutions to meet their clients’ exact requirements.

NEW Hi-Point pistol for 2019

MKS Supply, Inc., Dayton, OH –January 14, 2019 – New Hi-Point pistol.

Hi point will be introducing a new pistol in latter half of 2019. The new 9mm high capacity (also new for Hi-Point) compact pistol will have a threaded barrel and many new features.

This is not an old model with a few tweaks like the latest version of someone’s 1911. This is an entirely new pistol of a more contemporary design and yet will retain Hi-Point’s affordable pricing, reliability, robust construction, accuracy and owner following lifetime warranty.

Hi-Point is not a model flipping company and it has been years since their last new pistol design was unveiled. Their thought process is basically, if it works well and people can afford it, then it works well! However, Hi-Point’s new owner wanted a more contemporary compact high-capacity pistol that is still Hi-Point affordable, robust, reliable and accurate.

This new pistol is in “stealth” prototype stage and our media relations firm could not even get an image of it. However, there will be 3D printed models at the 2019 SHOT Show booth 16144 for examination–bring your 3D printed ammo and we will shoot at 3D printed targets, bet someone does that!

So for more information and a look-see of the most recent member of the Hi-Point family come by the MKS Supply booth 16144 (main floor) at the 2019 SHOT Show and see it and Hi-Point carbines and other pistols, Inland .30 caliber carbines, shotguns, pistols and of course the new to the U.S., the ultra hi-quality Barnaul Ammunition line from Russia.

Montana Outdoor Group Acquires Montana Rifle Company

Visit Montana Rifle Company at the 2019 SHOT Show at booth # 15940

 

Kalispell, Mont. (January 2019) – Montana Outdoor Group, a private investor group, has acquired the Montana Rifle Company (MRC) from Owner and Founder Brian Sipe. According to industry veteran and new CEO Ron Petty, the acquisition was completed in July and new changes were immediately implemented to rejuvenate the facility and increase production capability. Petty commented, “we are extremely excited to acquire this prestigious company and already we are seeing sales and production on the rise.”

New machinery, including several state-of-the-art CNC machines, and several new key personnel have made a very positive impact, not only on production, but new products as well.

“With the acquisition, machinery and key personnel in place, we have established the Montana Custom Barrel Division and are actively producing barrel blanks for key industry partners,” Petty continued.

MRC produces custom actions, such as the Model 1999, designed by noted gunsmith and founder Brian Sipe. The action combines features of both the M70 Winchester’s 3-position safety and fully adjustable trigger with the Mauser controlled feed extractor. The action is a preferred choice of many custom gunsmiths and is available as an “action- only” in short, long and PH configuration for calibers .222 through the 505 Gibbs. Barreled actions are also available in over 70 calibers.

MRC’s selection of custom rifles includes models in both right- and left-hand actions and a complete range of calibers in both Chromoly Blue, Stainless, wood and synthetic stocks. MRC firearms have won almost every prestigious award, including Field & Stream’s 2015 “Best of the Best,” SCI’s 2017 “Gun of the Year” and many others. At Montana Outdoor Group, we are proud to keep this tradition alive and well!

Consumers can see our complete line up for 2019 at the SCI, DSC, Sheep Show, Western Expo and the NRA Expo. Petty explained, “wherever great hunters converge, we’ll be there!”

ArachniGRIP® Offers Slide Spider for Sig P365

(Parker, CO) – ArachniGRIP®, creator and manufacturer of the innovative Slide Spider® adhesive slide grip, is proud to offer the Slide Spider for the popular Sig P365.
Responding to customer requests for the Slide Spider® slide grips for this innovative compact, Arachnigrip has added a new design to fit the Sig Sauer P365 pistol. Sig Sauer introduced this game changer at the 2018 SHOT Show. The Sig P365 is a compact gun. It’s effortless to carry and super comfortable. What makes the P365 really special is its small size coupled with its 10-round capacity. The P365 also has a factory 12-round magazine that extends the length of the gun and provides better grip for those with big hands.
Generally, small guns can be difficult to control. The greater control you can achieve, the better. The smaller slide on the P365 and other compact pistols result in less surface area for the shooter to grip. That’s where the Slide Spider grip by Arachnigrip® saves the day. The Slide Spider provides additional gripping texture that supports better safety and control of the firearm during all functions. The Slide Spider® for the Sig P365 is available at
www.arachnigrip.com and has an MSRP of $19.95
The Slide Spider grip by ArachniGRIP is available for most semi auto pistols. The Slide Spider grip products enable the shooter to gain increased control through a safe and secure hold. The products offer additional tactical advantages under challenging operating conditions, including extreme moisture and temperature. In addition, these products aid shooters with weak or weakened hand strength and those with medical conditions such as arthritis.
For more information about ArachniGRIP products, visit www.arachnigrip.com. 

About ArachniGRIP®:

ArachniGRIP® was founded by two lifelong firearms enthusiasts. We are located in Parker, Colorado, at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Our company believes that all shooters should have the advantages of proper equipment and training. Our products and instructional videos are designed to aid shooters in the safe, practical use and control of their firearms.

It’s Good To Be A Cow!

It’s Friday, the weekend is upon us, the government is still shut down and the Democrats are still insisting that walls don’t work. It’s also time for our weekly shoot the shit.

A shoot the shit is a form of social interaction among individuals who may know nothing about the subject being discussed, like the House Democrats, where you can make unsupported statements, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject altogether.

So let’s get started.

Narendra Damodardas Modi is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since 2014. Well, Prime Minister Modi has been encouraging Indians to protect cows. As you know, cows are sacred to religious Hindus, something I could never figure out because a large percentage of the Indian population, especially in the outer states are going hungry. The move to protect cows by tightening cow protection laws has devastated India’s Muslim community who rely on beef for nutrition, employment and exports accounting for $4 billion in business.

I respect, an individual’s right to their brand of religiosity, but tighter cow protection laws may have unexpected consequences for India if Ann Navaro and Rosie O’Donell decide to make the country their new home!

A couple of class acts!

Moving right along, the newly elected House member from the state of New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, wants to increase taxes on the wealthy. The only problem is that she is clueless on how a progressive tax works. I don’t know about you readers, but I have never worked for a poor person and employment prospects have always improved when the sources of capital are incentivized to start and grown existing businesses. When that happens personal incomes rise, crime drops, quality of life improves, the government’s tax base grows and communities are revitalized.

I can get over a lack of knowledge, but there’s no telling what else she has rattling around in her head and for that reason we placed her on the dark side of The Force.

Cortez

I’ll bet you Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney have a little Santeria aimed at Congresswoman Cortez.

Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi made a joint statement immediately after President Trump`s Border Security speech. Folks, whoever staged their photo op should never be allowed behind a camera lens ever again.

Image result for chuck schumer and nancy pelosi

In the now infamous photo, Nancy and Chuck look a little like a husband and wife team. Consistent with Chuck’s face, there’s an old Jewish joke that says it all here:

“Why do Jewish men predecease their wives?” “Be cause they want to.”

Readers 2019 and 2020 are going to be challenging years, so stay alert, stay engaged and fight the good fight. Other than that, hey there’s only 11 days until Shot Show 2019!

Have a great weekend be safe and spend quality time with your buds and family!

SIG SAUER Releases Pivoting Contour Brace

NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 9, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. today released the SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace (PCB) accessory to be included with variants of the SIG MCX and SIG MPX series rifles, and available for purchase separately as an accessory.

pcb-press-release.jpg

The new SIG SAUER PCB has a sturdy I-Beam design and features a 360-degree pivoting arm articulation, 1913 rail mounting interface, and folds flat for easy storage leaving the controls easily accessible. The brace is available in black and coyote tan.

“This new pivoting contour brace has been reengineered to increase functionality” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, “The minimalist design of the brace makes it lightweight, and by design there are more points of contact between the brace and the user increasing control for better accuracy, while the 360-degree pivoting arm only enhances the overall user-friendliness of the brace to enhance the shooting experience.”

Recently the new SIG SAUER PCB Brace was featured at the Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) National Family Day Learn to Shoot Again event at San Antonio Police Academy in San Antonio, Texas. Rick Cicero, Manager and Lead Instructor for the HAVA Learn to Shoot Again Program commented, “with the SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace I was able to easily move through the stages of a challenging course of fire easily alternating the angle of my SIG MCX and adjusting for target position and barrier placement.”

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the SIG SAUER PCB will be donated to the HAVA Learn to Shoot Again program.

The SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace is available for purchase at sigsauer.com/store.

MSRP: $199.00

Trailblazer® Firearms Introduces the LifeCard .22 WMR Pocket Pistol

Visit Trailblazer® Firearms at SHOT Show 2019 at Booth 2262

The newest model in the diminutive folding, single-shot pistol line will be unveiled at SHOT Show 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22 -25, 2019.

Asheville, N.C. (January 2019) – Trailblazer® Firearms will be exhibiting at Booth 2262 during SHOT Show 2019, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22 – 25, 2019, and will introduce firearms retailers to their newest model, the LifeCard .22 WMR folding, single-shot pistol.

The company, Trailblazer Firearms, headquartered in the western part of North Carolina, home to many companies developing some of the leading machining technologies in the US, launched the LifeCard .22 LR folding, single-shot pistol in late 2017. The tiny pocket pistol filled the void between an EDC and a utility tool designed to eliminate vermin. Small enough to fit into the ubiquitous 5th pocket of a pair of Levi’s®, the LifeCard took on a life of its own and exceeded company sales projections in its first year on the market.

The newest model, the LifeCard .22 WMR, came as a result of customer requests and the company’s commitment to only producing products that met their high level of quality in form, function and performance. The new .22 WMR will provide customers with the advantage of a more powerful cartridge without compromising the tiny overall size and shape.

“It took us seven years to bring the initial LifeCard concept to market,” Aaron Voigt, founder and president of Trailblazer Firearms, said. “We are in no hurry to create product that does not pass our rigorous testing or have the demand in the marketplace. The .22 WMR passed both criteria and we are proud to add this new model to our LifeCard line.”

Trailblazer Firearms LifeCard .22 WMR Specifications:

  • Caliber:  .22 WMR
  • Action: Single-Action, Single-Shot
  • Length: 3.375 inches
  • Height: 2.125 inches
  • Width: 0.5 inches
  • Weight: under 7 oz.
  • Barrel: Steel, Tilt-Up
  • Frame: Aluminum (includes folding handle)
  • Features: Ambidextrous, built-in safety features, ammo storage in handle for 3 rounds
  • MSRP: $399
