NEW FOR 2025
Big Things in a Practical Package
Blocker Outdoors’ new Shield Backpack offers core functionality with surprising affordability.
MUSKEGON, MI (May 12, 2025) – It all started when the Blocker Outdoors sales, marketing, and product development teams collectively decided to add a basic backpack. Made sense, too, given Blocker’s existing collection of hunting gear was shy of a pack. What the teams didn’t initially realize, however, is how awesome the finished Shield Backpack would turn out…
“It really is lot of pack for the price,” said Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “I suppose we could have built a simple backpack and called it a day. But instead, we pushed the limit on features and quality and kept it under 100 bucks.”
An incredible value, the rugged 600-denier Shield Backpack yields a roomy 2,000 cubic inches of interior space, which is impressive for a daypack. Beyond the generous real estate, though, it’s how Blocker capitalized on every square inch. “On the inside, its loaded with secure storage options,” said Allie. “On the inside of the main compartment there are several pouches, some zippered and others secured with elastic – more pouches on the inside of the zippered door flap, as well as the inner sides. There’s also a main ‘laptop’ compartment, which is pretty cool.”

To that, Blocker’s Shield Backpack is outfitted to manage a water bladder system for hydration on the go.
On the exterior, accoutrements begin with a pair of side-saddled mesh water bottle pouches with elastic closures. Generous MOLLE strips promote carabiners and associated tools. Lastly, Blocker added a front zippered pocked for supplementary storage.
A backpack isn’t worth its weight in dollar bills, though, if it isn’t comfortable and fitted. To that, the Shield Backpack features a padded mesh back, as well as amply padded, adjustable, and wide shoulder straps. To finish the fit and reduce carrying fatigue, the backpack offers removable and adjustable sternum and waist straps.
Whether hiking or hunting, Blocker’s new value-priced Backpack will exceed your expectations.

Streamlight TLR RM1 HL-X
Announced in January 2025, the Streamlight TLR RM1 HL-X has quickly become a significant weapon-mounted light for tactical applications. This robust and compact illuminator delivers a powerful maximum output of 1,000 lumens, generating a brilliant white light essential for target identification and navigating low-light environments.
The TLR RM1 HL-X is engineered to produce a tight, high-intensity beam with a significant reach of 297 meters when using the SL-B9 rechargeable battery. This focused hotspot is paired with practical peripheral spill, ensuring ample situational awareness during dynamic operations. This balanced beam pattern allows operators to clearly identify distant objects while maintaining a necessary view of their immediate surroundings.
Several features contribute to the TLR RM1 HL-X’s tactical utility. Its durable yet lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum construction is designed to withstand the stresses of tactical use and recoil. The light incorporates an intuitive, ambidextrous momentary/constant-on switch for easy activation under pressure. It also features a secure and straightforward attachment mechanism for MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails, the standard mounting platform for many tactical firearms. Its low-profile design minimizes potential snagging and maintains the firearm’s balance.
The “HL-X” designation rightly emphasizes the light’s “High Lumen Extreme Output,” a critical attribute in tactical scenarios where positive identification is paramount. Whether clearing buildings, navigating confined spaces, or engaging threats at varying distances, the TLR RM1 HL-X’s potent and focused beam offers a decisive advantage. The combination of its high output, optimized beam concentration, rugged build, and user-friendly controls solidifies the Streamlight TLR RM1 HL-X as a dependable and effective illumination tool for law enforcement, military professionals, and responsible firearm owners seeking a high-performance light for tactical applications.

DANIEL DEFENSE, LLC | 101 WARFIGHTER WAY | BLACK CREEK, GA 31308
Montreal, Canada — May 6, 2025 — Octasic Inc. and Octasic US Inc. today announced its collaborative launch of Wraith, a portfolio of ‘Mod Payload’ ultra-compact, multi-mission solutions that bring specialized radio frequency and other wireless functions to the modern signals intelligence warfighter.
Purpose-built to meet the USSOCOM Modular Payload Standard, Wraith solves many tactical edge issues all at once, including reliability, interchangeability and maintainability, faster in-field replacements, and a reduction in life cycle costs for all relevant EW/EA, SIGINT, PSYOPS/CMAS, C5ISR, and Cyber systems.
“Wraith embodies our vision for the next generation of modular, mission-adaptable payloads,” said Sébastien Leblanc, CEO of Octasic. “It delivers the advanced wireless capabilities forces need to protect, deter, and respond with precision across today’s complex operational environments.”
“Spectrum dominance starts with the right payloads on the right platforms,” said Greg Gerou, President and General Manager of Octasic US. “Wraith is engineered to help our partners close capability gaps and maintain operational advantage in a fast-moving threat environment.”
Recognized globally by public and national security organizations, Octasic is seeking to expand its wireless signal processing and advanced 5G SA detection, localization, and geolocation capabilities to the defense market.
Wraith solutions address this by leveraging the deep Octasic expertise in highly integrated Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies that offer best-in-class low size, weight, and power payload designs for Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs), Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), and even larger crewed airborne craft.
The Wraith payload system roadmap includes a range of RF Front End options to meet mission altitude and performance requirements.
To reduce the time and complexity for crews to swap capabilities down range ‘modularity’ is the winning strategy. It enables incremental improvements of components, subsystems, software, and mixing-and-matching capabilities according to objectives. The arsenal of the future is a drone fleet that benefits from updatable software libraries and plug-and-play payloads.
Wraith will be showcased at Octasic Booth #1317 during SOF Week in Tampa, Florida, from May 6–8, 2025.
Availability: General availability of Wraith is expected by Q4, 2025.
About Octasic
Octasic engineers the wireless edge of modern conflict. Our 5G signal processing, low-SWaP Software Defined Radios (SDRs), and mission-tailored applications equip defense, law enforcement, and national security forces to adapt, dominate, and achieve mission success.

RICE LAKE, Wis., May 9, 2025 — At the National Police Defense Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Awards Dinner, Henry Repeating Arms Founder and CEO Anthony Imperato presented custom one-of-a-kind engraved rifles to several distinguished honorees, including former ICE Director and current Border Czar Tom Homan, who was named the National Police Defense Foundation’s 2025 Man of the Year.
Due to his position in President Trump’s cabinet, Homan respectfully declined to accept the firearm, though he joked, “Maybe I should resign so I can take this beautiful rifle!” Instead, Homan asked that the custom New Original Henry Silver Deluxe Engraved rifle, which features engraved seals of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), be used to raise funds for the Border Patrol Foundation (BPF), a 501(c)(3) non profit organization established in 2009 to honor the memory of fallen U.S. Border Patrol agents. BPF also provides financial support to USBP agents, employees, and their families for on- and off-duty deaths, injuries, illnesses, and student scholarships.
In an emotional moment that drew a rousing round of applause, Imperato responded, “Now you’ve got my juices flowing – I’m going to add $50,000 on top of whatever this rifle brings at auction.”
Mr. Homan graciously signed the accompanying hand-built American walnut tabletop display case, which will be included in an online auction with the custom rifle within 30 days. All proceeds from the auction will be presented to the Border Patrol Foundation. Including prior cash and product donations, the $50,000 will make Henry’s total contributions to the Border Patrol Foundation exceed $100,000. Join the Henry Repeating Arms newsletter to be notified about the auction’s timing.
Other honorees recognized with custom Henry rifles included:
Rear Admiral Zeita Merchant, U.S. Coast Guard, Woman of the Year. Presented with a custom Henry Golden Boy Deluxe Engraved rifle featuring an engraved and hand-painted seal of the U.S. Coast Guard.
Ralph Sozio, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of New York, Lifetime Achievement Award. Presented with a custom Henry Golden Boy Deluxe Engraved rifle featuring an engraved and hand-painted U.S. Marshal badge.
Anthony Lacorazza, Assistant to the Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service, Member of the Year. Presented with a custom Henry Big Boy Brass .44 Mag/.44 Spl with a U.S. Secret Service badge engraved in the buttstock.
Joe Marino, Senior Reporter, New York Post, Excellence in Media Award. Presented with a custom Henry Golden Boy Deluxe Engraved rifle.
The annual NPDF Awards Dinner helps fund the Foundation’s mission and charitable programs, including Operation Kids, which distributes free child fingerprint and DNA kits to parents, sponsors youth athletic events, posts rewards for information on missing child cases, issues annual scholarships to deserving students, and arranges for lifesaving operations and medical treatment for critically ill children worldwide. Henry Repeating Arms pledged an additional $10,000 to support the NPDF and its charitable work as part of the evening’s events.

We dedicate this day to all mothers, pillars of strength, love, and sacrifice. You are the nurturers, the caregivers, the guiding lights in our lives. You juggle countless responsibilities, often with grace and unwavering dedication. You teach, you support, and you empower. You are the heart of the home and the foundation of society.
Today, we extend a special salute to the mothers who wear the uniform. These are the women who not only raise and care for their families but also serve our country with courage and commitment. They are soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardsmen. They are protectors, defenders, and heroes.
Military mothers face unique challenges. They endure deployments, frequent moves, and the constant worry for their safety and the safety of their fellow service members. They miss birthdays, holidays, and school events. They often manage households single-handedly while their partners are away. Yet, through it all, they remain devoted to their families and their country.
These mothers embody resilience and strength. They balance the demands of military service with the responsibilities of motherhood, often in high-pressure, unpredictable environments. They are role models for their children, demonstrating courage, discipline, and patriotism. They serve as a powerful reminder that women can excel in any role, whether on the home front or the front lines.
To the mothers who serve: we recognize your sacrifices. We honor your dedication. We thank you for your service to our nation and your unwavering love for your families. You are an inspiration to us all. Your strength and commitment make our country, and our world, a better place. Happy Mother’s Day!
Holosun SCS Carry-GR
The world of concealed carry optics has been evolving rapidly, but for a long time, I remained a skeptic. I clung to iron sights, prioritizing the simplicity and reliability I’d always known. Red dot sights on pistols, in my mind, introduced unnecessary complexity: batteries to fail, bulk to snag, and a learning curve that seemed daunting. I was comfortable with what I knew, and the perceived benefits of a red dot didn’t outweigh the potential drawbacks. That was, until I encountered the Holosun SCS Carry-GR.
My initial reservations stemmed from a few key areas. First, the idea of relying on a battery-powered optic for a defensive firearm seemed inherently risky. What if the battery died at a critical moment? Second, many red dot sights I’d seen added significant bulk to the slide, making the pistol harder to conceal and potentially more prone to snagging on clothing during a draw. Finally, I worried about the learning curve. Acquiring the dot quickly and consistently seemed like a skill that would require a lot of practice, and I wasn’t sure it would be faster or more reliable than my years of experience with iron sights.

UK CERTIFIES PROTECTOR AS FIRST OF ITS KIND REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT
SAN DIEGO – 08 May 2025 – The UK’s Military Aviation Authority has issued a Military Type Certificate to the Royal Air Force’s Protector RG Mk1 uncrewed aircraft, also designated the MQ-9B, certifying that it has passed a rigorous airworthiness assessment and verifying it’s safe to operate without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas. This April 29 decision was a first-of-its-kind milestone for a large, unmanned aircraft system. It’s a huge accomplishment for the UK and a technological watershed in the history of unmanned aircraft systems. GA-ASI is the first manufacturer of large, unmanned aircraft to receive an MTC based on rigorous compliance with STANAG 4671, the NATO standard for unmanned aircraft system airworthiness.
Obtaining the MTC has been a goal of GA-ASI since the inception of the MQ-9B in January 2014. The company took its proven UAS platform, the MQ-9A, and added performance enhancing features while ensuring that the design was capable of meeting NATO’s STANAG 4671 Edition 2 airworthiness requirements. To meet those rigorous requirements, the aircraft incorporates numerous enhancements not found on other large UAS. These include lightning protection, fire protection, anti-icing systems and a fatigue-and-damage-tolerant building block design approach. All flight critical software was designed in compliance with the rigor of Do-178/254. Mission software is rigidly separated from flight critical software. These features not only address the aircraft’s airworthiness but also enhance its reliability and operational flexibility to levels unmatched by other UAS.
“Earning an MTC for MQ-9B was a herculean effort and a seminal achievement for our company,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. “We invested over $500 million as part of an 11-year effort to develop an unmanned aircraft that meets NATO’s rigorous airworthiness standards. This included three flight test aircraft, full component and system-level environmental testing to Do-160 and Mil-Standards (system level environmental testing at Elgin and Pax River), full scale static test airframe test to ultimate ground and flight loads, bird strike, hail protection and full-scale fatigue testing to three lifetimes (3x 40,000 notional aircraft flight hours = 120,000 hours total). Our engineers developed over 140,000 pages of detailed technical data verifying that the MQ-9B met those demanding requirements. I congratulate our team for this outstanding accomplishment, and I know our customers need this type certification, which will open civil airspace for their flight operations.”
The Royal Air Force continues to take delivery of new Protector aircraft at their home in the North of England at RAF Waddington. The UK has 10 aircraft of the 16 it has ordered.
“Achieving the award of a first in class Military Type Certificate has required years of dedication and perseverance and is a testament to the hard work of all involved. It is a privilege to be the first to be awarded an MTC for the Protector Air System,” said Gp. Capt. Neil Venables, Type Airworthiness Authority and holder of the Protector Type Certificate.
MQ-9B is the world’s most advanced medium altitude, long endurance UAS. MQ-9B includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models as well as the Protector operated by the RAF.
In addition to the UK, GA-ASI has MQ-9B orders from Belgium, Canada, Poland, Japan Coast Guard, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.

Sig Sauer’s Weaponized Drone
SIG SAUER’s foray into weaponized drone technology likely hinges on a combination of SIG’s expertise in firearms and emerging capabilities in unmanned aerial systems. Their approach involves integrating a highly stabilized small unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAV) platform with a modified 9mm pistol or a purpose-built delivery mechanism for the round.
Key aspects of SIG’s approach include:
Effectiveness of the System:
Are there potential limitations:
In conclusion, SIG SAUER’s development of a 9mm-armed drone represents a significant step in integrating aerial platforms with direct-fire capabilities. While the system offers the potential for highly precise targeting and reduced collateral damage, its effectiveness will depend on overcoming technical challenges related to stabilization, payload management, and ensuring operational reliability. The ethical implications of such technology will also need careful scrutiny as it moves from the exhibition floor to potential deployment. SIG’s weaponized drone technology is still under development but given SIG’s global reputation for delivering accurate, reliable and effective platforms our operators my have enhanced capabilities previously unavailable to them.

A new integration of artificial intelligence into the EAGLS defense platform is set to significantly upgrade its capability to detect and neutralize airborne threats, including fast-moving drones and missiles, without the use of radar or GPS.
Romania-based OVES Enterprise has partnered with MSI Defense Solutions to embed its Nemesis AI system into the EAGLS platform, creating a fully automated threat detection and response solution. The system is built around visual-based sensing, using advanced thermal and neuromorphic cameras. These are connected through a sensor fusion framework designed to process complex visual data in real time.
Unlike conventional defense platforms that rely on radar signatures or satellite-based positioning, the updated EAGLS system identifies threats purely through AI-enhanced visual analysis. Once a threat is visually detected, Nemesis AI classifies the object and recommends an interception method based on the weapons available. This decision-making process is powered by AI hardware optimized for high-speed data handling and real-time tactical evaluation, according to The Defense Post.
Another key feature of the upgraded platform is its AI-controlled targeting system. Instead of relying on mechanical systems, the system uses AI commands to control weapon station positioning, reducing reaction time and improving accuracy against evasive or small targets like drones.
EAGLS, already designed to operate either as a standalone unit or within a broader defense network, combines several established capabilities such as 360-degree surveillance radars, remotely operated weapon stations, and laser-guided rocket launchers. The integration of Nemesis AI effectively transforms it into an autonomous countermeasure platform capable of operating quickly.
The implications for battlefield and border defense are substantial. With drone warfare rapidly evolving and traditional detection systems often failing to track or engage new aerial threats effectively, the ability to operate radar- and GPS-independent systems opens new possibilities for securing vulnerable infrastructure or conflict zones.
This collaboration demonstrates how AI-powered autonomy is increasingly becoming central to modern defense platforms, offering faster decision-making, reduced system latency, and improved interception rates in high-threat environments.
We champion smart concealed carry, but not every threat calls for deadly force. Our new guide breaks down 11 proven tools that stop dangers fast, no trigger pull required.
Here’s a glimpse:
• Pepper Spray – pocket‑size, 10‑ft reach, legal in 50 states with few caveats.
• Stun Gun vs Taser – know the distance gap that can save seconds.

Veteran-owned, pioneering eyewear company RLVNT aligns with communications experts
FINLAYSON, MN (May 7, 2025) – RLVNT is proud to announce the addition of fishing/hunting/outdoors industry PR company Traditions Media to its marketing team, effective May 1, 2025.
“Our company is solid in its technological achievements in fishing and hunting eyewear, so it was time to find the best channel to reach new audiences and take every opportunity to share our story,” said RLVNT CEO, Norm Kester. “Our growing staff had worked with the Traditions Media team with other brands and projects, and I was soon convinced they were the perfect fit for the ground game we wanted to win in this competitive marketplace.”
“We’re excited,” said newly appointed Director of Sales, Patrick Kalmerton. “What RLVNT brings to the eyewear game is new, exciting, and offers serious advantages over competitive products. Having worked with Traditions since their beginning, I knew they were the right team to help us tell RLVNT’s compelling story.”
“We’ve wanted to partner with a legitimate innovator in eyewear – not someone who brands off-the-shelf products,” said Noel Vick, Traditions Media President. “Once we saw what RLVNT was doing with the science of eyewear for anglers and hunters, we knew we had to help them get the message out. And we appreciate that everything RLVNT does is based in the heartland, rural Minnesota. And being veteran-owned was another incentive to get behind RLVNT…”
Vick added: “It’s our 20th year as an agency and we started in the north and broke ice, pun intended, in ice fishing. And while we’ve spent the last decade penetrating the south and saltwater, hunting, and general outdoors, we’ve always had a firm handle on the Ice Belt market. This trajectory perfectly overlays RLVNT as they expand into markets outside the Midwest.”
Vick continued: “We love seeing new, innovative, and energized companies grow past their expectations, something we are convinced we can help RLVNT achieve. They are a blooming, Minnesota-based boots-on-the-ground company with a lot of engineering, science, and real-world fishing and hunting behind the product designs, offering lens technology that lets you read your fishing electronics clearly and with amazing definition, to lenses designed specifically for hunters to avoid being busted in the blind.”
“That, and RLVNT offers other seriously cool, problem-solving stuff that nobody really knows about… yet.”
“The timing couldn’t be more ideal, either,” concluded Vick. “Even though we’re all weathering difficult economic times, there are those bold and rare companies with the foresight to invest in the artillery needed to boost sales. RLVNT has stepped up to the plate and in our opinion is poised to become a leader in outdoors eyewear. We’re honored to be working with such a progressive, problem-solving brand.”
ABOUT
RLVNT was founded by Norm and Adam in 2018, two friends from the optical industry who loved the outdoors and wanted sunglasses tailormade for their environments. The problem? That technology didn’t exist. And what’s more, other outdoor enthusiasts had great ideas but weren’t being heard. RLVNT became the solution to these problems as a company committed to listening to the community and solving Real-Life Vexes with New Technology.
From inception to becoming a leading outdoor brand, RLVNT’s commitment to quality and science-based solutions shines through.

The PIVOTAL HELIX represents a groundbreaking leap in personal aviation, embodying a decade of relentless innovation in electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) technology. Born from a vision to democratize flight, this single-seat aircraft offers an exhilarating and accessible entry into the skies for both seasoned aviators and those with no prior flying experience. Classified as an ultralight vehicle under FAA Part 103 regulations in the United States, the Helix remarkably requires no pilot’s license to operate, opening up the wonder of flight to a broader audience.

The expansive 270-degree panoramic canopy offers unparalleled visibility, immersing the pilot in the surrounding environment. Safety is paramount in the Helix’s design, featuring a triple-redundant flight control system, fault-tolerant electrical systems, and even a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute for added security.
Beyond the thrill of personal flight, the PIVOTAL HELIX offers practical advantages. Its electric powertrain ensures zero emissions and quieter operation compared to traditional aircraft. The detachable wings and compact design allow for easy transportation and storage within a standard 16-foot trailer, with assembly or disassembly taking as little as 30 minutes. Capable of taking off and landing on various surfaces, including grass, pavement, and even water in emergencies, the Helix offers unparalleled versatility for personal exploration and short-hop travel. With comprehensive training provided by Pivotal, owners can confidently embark on their aerial adventures, marking a significant step towards a future where personal flight is not just a dream, but a tangible reality

APEX Predator TSS Loads Favored by Pros
Columbus, Miss. (May 6, 2025) – APEX Ammunition is now shipping its Predator line of Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells. Meticulously handloaded, these TSS rounds deliver exceptional downrange energy with maximum lethality to take down the toughest coyotes and hogs.
The consistent performance of APEX Predator TSS loads is why many of the nation’s top predator hunters never hunt without it.
Terry Denmon, President and CEO of MOJO Outdoors, had this to say:
“I’ve hunted game from elephants on down and, pound for pound, coyotes are about the hardest to kill,” said Denmon. “At MOJO, our sport is calling predators in close to kill them with a shotgun and before I tried APEX predator loads, we were limited to about 50 yards. With APEX, we make clean kills out to 90 yards. It’s a game changer, and I’ll never hunt predators with anything else.”
When asked about APEX shotshells, Torry Cook of MFK Game Calls said, “I was an APEX skeptic at first, but one shot made me a believer. The pattern density and penetration are unmatched, and now it’s all I shoot. I love the #2’s and #2 / 4 blends. There is nothing better for predators and with APEX, I can shoot ‘em in the head or the tail, either way I’m knocking their teeth out. From turkeys, to hogs, to any kind of predator, APEX is my choice every time!”
APEX offers 12-gauge 3 ½” and 3” shells in shot sizes 2, 4, and BB, and 2 ¾” 20-gauge loads in shot sizes 2 and 4. These ultra-dense, larger-size pellets deliver a devastating payload with tight patterns and superior penetration.

The Most Versatile Shooting Stick on the Market: The Stalker Lite by Swagger™
Grand Island, NE. (May 6, 2025) — A steady shooting rest is fundamental to all forms of firearm accuracy. From high mountain big game hunts to varmints on the prairie, a solid rest is critical when that magical moment transpires. Swagger™ Bipods developed the most versatile shooting stick on the market with the Stalker Lite Shooting Stick™.
Weighing in under a pound, the Stalker Lite Shooting Stick is lightweight, completely adjustable, and small enough to tuck into a cargo pocket or daypack. Built with Quick Adapt LT Technology, it allows shooters to move the point of aim up, down, left, or right without shifting their focus from the target, all without levers, knobs, or pins.
The Swagger Stalker Lite Shooting Stick provides mobile hunters with a solid rest in any terrain. Fully adjustable from 21” to 36”, it allows shots in whatever cover and terrain the hunt provides. Versatile enough to supply a sturdy shooting rest for kneeling and seated shots, it maintains a firm foundation even during steep up-angle or down-angle shots.
The Swagger Stalker Lite Shooting Stick also functions as a rear rest to extend shooters’ effective range. It fits securely under the rifle’s buttstock behind the swivel sling stud, providing an adjustable rear rest that is unaffected by rifle recoil.
When mobility, speed, and accuracy matter most, the Swagger Stalker Life Shooting Stick delivers unmatched adaptability and performance.
