Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation Signs on as Official +ONE Partner
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation (OTF) has signed as an official partner of +ONE®, a community-driven mentorship initiative led by NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association. The +ONE initiative aims to enhance access and opportunities for personal development through outdoor activities, including but not limited to hunting and shooting sports in the United States.
The +ONE initiative was developed in response to studies showing millions of people want to know more about hunting and target shooting. By encouraging mentorship and outreach through boots-on-the-ground efforts and impactful community storytelling, the initiative helps communities across the country engage with firearm safety, firearm basics and the many enjoyable opportunities available in shooting sports and hunting. These activities also provide participants with important life skills such as confidence, critical thinking, and cooperation, helping people grow both personally and socially.
The Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting conservation and outdoor education through its signature Outdoor Adventures program. Offered in schools across the nation, this curriculum provides students with hands-on learning about fishing, archery, shooting sports, camping and wildlife conservation. Through its efforts, OTF introduced more than 150,000 students to the outdoors in 2024, with programs currently offered in more than 1,500 schools.
“The Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation is pleased to be an official +ONE partner because of our shared commitment to getting more kids connected with the outdoors,” said LeAnn Schmitt, Director of Partnership Development. “Countless kids have learned to enjoy both shooting sports and hunting as a direct result of Outdoor Adventures — finding their niche in competitive shooting sports and learning about the role of hunting in conservation.”
A major barrier for people wanting to learn about hunting and target shooting is that the knowledge is not passed down as often as it once was. Education programs offered by +ONE Partners like OTF make a significant impact in overcoming this challenge.
Research shows that if just one out of three hunters and target shooters introduces someone new to the sports, it will help secure a strong future for hunting and shooting sports for generations to come.
By joining the +ONE Movement, OTF is poised to expand its reach, working with educators, youth organizations and families to foster safe and rewarding outdoor experiences. The organization’s Outdoor Adventures program equips young people with leadership qualities and a deeper appreciation for conservation and outdoor traditions.
To join the +ONE Movement, individuals can take the +ONE Pledge to signify their intention to mentor in the future. Organizations and businesses can get involved by contacting NSSF’s +ONE liaison Justin Morrissey by email at jmorrissey@nssf.org.
For all that hunting and the shooting sports have done to enrich your life, join the +ONE Movement and invite someone to the range or afield. Learn more about the +ONE Movement at LetsGoHunting.org and LetsGoShooting.org.

Breda America Group Exhibiting at the 2025 NBS Spring Semi-Annual Market![]()
Discover the legacy of Italian craftsmanship and innovation at Booth 733 in Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 30 – Feb. 2, 2025.

Easton, Md. (January 2025) – Breda America Group (Breda AG), a division of Banshee Brands Inc., will be exhibiting at the 2025 NBS Spring Semi-Annual Market in Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 30 – Feb. 2, 2025. Attendees can visit Booth 733 at the Fort Worth Convention Center to explore Breda’s world-renowned shotguns, built on a legacy of precision engineering with first-class materials and unmatched performance, safety, reliability, and durability.
For over a century, Breda firearms have been renowned and coveted as some of the finest in the world. Painstakingly crafted by hand in limited numbers and long appreciated by professional marksmen who trust their lives to a quality firearm, Breda has been the premier choice for generations of soldiers, law enforcement, champion competitors, and respected outfitters seeking high-performance, purpose-built tools that provide a competitive edge.
“We’re excited to bring Breda’s legendary firearms to the NBS Spring Market, offering retailers and dealers the opportunity to experience firsthand what makes these shotguns standout options for waterfowl hunters, competitive shooters, and professionals worldwide,” said JP Fischer, VP of Sales for Banshee Brands, Inc. “With a history of superior craftsmanship and performance-driven innovation, Breda continues to set the standard in shotgun excellence.”

Breda AG’s premier offering at the event is the B3.5SM Waterfowl Hunting Series, a shotgun with an iconic Italian design that has left a lasting impact on the industry. The B3.5SM continues the legacy of the inertia action with a rotating bolt, first patented by Bruno Civolani in the 1960s and later licensed to Benelli Armi Spa, of which Breda was an owner. The design, which later became famous under the “Super Black Eagle” name when Benelli Armi Spa introduced it to the US market in 1991, remains a benchmark for waterfowl hunters seeking a high-performance, reliable shotgun.

Breda has refined and improved this legendary design, incorporating technological advancements that make the B3.5SM a superior choice for today’s hunters. With its precision-drilled barrel made from Breda’s proprietary “Acciao Breda” carbon alloy steel, the shotgun is designed for minimal expansion under extreme conditions, ensuring consistent shot patterns. Its two-piece receiver, originally introduced by Breda in 1947, further enhances durability and ease of maintenance. Additionally, its compatibility with multiple cartridge sizes (3.5,” 3”, and 2.75”) provides unmatched versatility for different hunting scenarios. The shotgun is available in multiple finishes, including Mossy Oak Bottomland and RealTree Max-7 Camouflage, ensuring that hunters can choose a model that best fits their environments.
NBS provides independent retailers with exclusive opportunities across all categories of outdoor sports and general sporting goods. With access to hundreds of vendors, cutting-edge products, and deeply discounted purchasing programs, NBS Members benefit from a one-of-a-kind tradeshow experience where they can meet directly with vendors and place orders on-site.

Midwinter Thunderstorm
Outfitted with Hardcore gear, Native Thunder Outfitters deliver blue-chip hunting coupled with a memorable experience.
By Jay Anglin
MUSKEGON, Mich. (January 30, 2025) – Established in 2020, Native Thunder Outfitters is located smack dab in the middle of the Central Flyway near Great Bend, Kansas. Nestled between Quivira National Wildlife Refuge and Cheyenne Bottoms Refuge – two of the most iconic waterfowl magnets in North America – the area is a veritable superhighway and stopping point for millions of migrating ducks and geese annually. The region is also known for outstanding turkey, white-tailed deer, and upland bird hunting opportunities.
“I’m from a small town in Georgia, and I’ve always been in love with the outdoors. I wasn’t the kind of kid that could sit in front of the TV, I’d do whatever I could to stay outside,” said Native Thunder owner and guide, Cole Smith. “My dad managed a quail plantation, so I always knew that’s what I wanted to do.”
Smith’s first guiding experience was for quail, closer to home, but soon he would end up in the Stuttgart, Arkansas area guiding duck hunts, and he fell in love with it. Like so many guides he continued to explore new gigs in different regions.

“I branched out and started guiding waterfowl in Canada, then eventually started doing turkey hunts in Kansas. I discovered how great the hunting was here – the bird numbers were incredible,” Smith said. “I ran 30 clients the first year, and we tagged 30 turkeys. The next year I was 50 for 50 guiding turkeys.”
Smith credits his success to having spent time with other outfitters who inspired and helped him better understand the business. These mentors coupled with his broad range of guide experience helped him hone-in on what he thought the ideal outfitter business should be.
“I started Native Thunder with a nice lodge that served great food. So many outfitters don’t focus on the overall experience, and I started this one with the idea that the client’s experience matters. As soon as they walk through the door of the lodge that experience begins,” explained Smith. “You can serve peanut butter and jelly if the hunting is good, but after a rough day – like we all know happens – you better back up your outfit with a good lodge experience, which includes great food and personable employees that talk with guests and make them feel at home. We use the best equipment and spare no expense on how we run this operation. Waking up every day and doing what you love – it’s a dream come true.”
Rugged Series Full Body Snow and Blue Goose Touchdown Decoys (12 Pack)
Native Thunder has grown each year, but Smith says the operation remains controllable by limiting the number of guests at any given time.
“We take one group of ten every three days, and really focus on that one group to assure they have the great experience we strive for. During peak times, we’ll run a second group at the same time, but when you have so much land access, you can really narrow down the best opportunities, so every hunt counts,” added Smith.
The annual last hurrah for waterfowl hunters is the Light Goose Conservation Order season which was implemented by the federal government to help control over-populated snow and Ross geese. Native Thunder just so happens to be located within one of North America’s main snow goose migration corridors.
“We like to wait until we see how the season going – how the migration is going, so we can book our clients during peak times. We have a late dark goose season in Kansas, too, that runs to Feb 17th, so we have to wait to run conservation hunts until after that. We’ll continue to schedule those hunts until the birds leave sometime in March. We have our first group of hunters coming on February 20th this season,” Smith said.

Once the snow geese have pushed northward on their long journey to their tundra nesting grounds, Smith and the Native Thunder crew stow the waterfowl gear and switch gears to turkey mode. Kansas is a lottery state and interested hunters need to apply for tags prior to mid-February. The lodge is always bustling with confident turkey hunters who know they have invested in an operation with astonishingly high success rates and an experience they will never forget.
Smith concluded, “We’ve tried many brands of decoys over the years, but switched over to Hardcore and couldn’t be happier. These decoys have been well received by our guides and customers for their realism and durability, and no doubt factored in to many awesome hunts this season. We are really pleased with the partnership we’ve formed with Hardcore.”

Join our Director of Partnerships & Strategic Initiatives, Joshua Pruitt for an in depth walkthrough of Aloft’s newest offering, Air Boss. We’ll showcase how local, state, regional, federal authorities and other verified entities can get total airspace awareness within their operating areas by ingesting multiple data sources to provide complete situational awareness to assist in BVLOS, DFR and RTCC type operations.
We’ll also discuss the Aloft GEO Portal where these same entities can post local restrictions, alerts, and advisories, not covered by the FAA, to UAS operators in their area. These restrictions and advisories are then published directly to the Air Aware and B4UFLY maps providing better operational and situational awareness for both participants and non participants.
Finally, We’ll discuss our Custom Airspace functionality which allows agencies and organizations to display specific airspace information, relevant to their program with all pilots, users, and stakeholders without ever leaving the Aloft software suite. Things like adjusted facility grid squares and jurisdictional COA requirements are just a couple of examples.
We look forward to you joining us!

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES HIGH-CANDELA MODEL OF PROTAC® 2.0 RAIL MOUNT
Rechargeable Weapon Light Has Nearly Five Times the Candela Output of Previous Model

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 29, 2024 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, launched the ProTac® 2.0 Rail Mount HP (high performance) light which delivers up to 2,000 lumens of blinding white light and 85,000 candela for illuminating targets at a distance, nearly five times the candela output of the original ProTac® 2.0 Rail Mount. The new weapon light is powered by a Streamlight SL-B50® battery pack that charges via an integrated USB-C port.
The light uses a rugged, integrated rail clamp that easily and securely attaches to weapons with a MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rail, M-LOK®, or M-LOK compatible rail systems. It has a multi-function push-button tail switch for momentary or constant on operation and three selectable user programs. An optional remote switch is available in momentary only and momentary/latching versions. Both the push-button tactical and remote pressure switches allow for one-handed operation of the momentary, variable intensity, or strobe modes.
“The new ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP is an exceptional light, because it is not only high-lumen, but also features a high-candela beam for long-range lighting needs,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Whether lighting up the end of a dark alley or outdoor path, or using it to conduct search and rescue operations or other maneuvers under low-light conditions, it’s a powerful tactical tool for law enforcement professionals, military personnel, and outdoor users alike.”
Featuring the latest in LED technology, the ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP offers three settings – high, low, and strobe. On High, it provides 2,000 lumens, 85,000 candela and a beam distance of 583 meters. On Low, it delivers 250 lumens, 11,500 candela and a 214-meter beam distance. Run times range from 2.5 hours on high to 11 hours on low; in strobe mode, it runs for 4.5 hours. The light also features a TEN-TAP® programmable switch that allows for user selection of the light’s three different operating programs: high/strobe (factory default), high only, or low/high.
The ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP uses an SL-B50 Streamlight protected Li-Ion USB rechargeable battery pack, accessed by the light’s sliding sleeve. The battery is keyed to ensure proper alignment of the charging port, and features LED status lights to indicate charge status, including red for charging and green for fully charged. An integrated safety circuit protects the battery from accidental overcharge or discharge.
Fabricated from 6000 series machined aluminum with a Type II MIL-Spec black anodized finish, the light features a glass lens with anti-reflective coating that is gasket sealed. It measures 6.30 inches in length and weighs 9.06 ounces with an included Streamlight SL-B50 rechargeable battery.
The new light is IP67-rated for dust-tight and waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It features an impact-resistant construction and is also 2-meter impact resistance tested.
The ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP has an MSRP that ranges from $251.00 to $305.00 depending on the configuration and comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.![]()

The suppressor industry lost a pioneer and legend with the recent passing of Dr. Phil “Doc” Dater. Dr. Dater was best known as one of the founders of Gemtech in 1993, but his influence on the suppressor industry began decades before that. An Air Force veteran and licensed medical doctor, Dater began tinkering with suppressors in the early 1960’s in the basement machine shop of the hospital he worked at. It was a way to deal with hours of boredom during long shifts at the hospital as a radiologist.
He founded the Automatic Weapons Company (AWC) in 1976, in Taos, NM. In 1993, Dater moved to Boise, ID where he formed Gemini Technologies, better known as Gemtech. Dater was an early innovator in the burgeoning suppressor industry. He pushed the science of suppressor development and was an early adopter of cutting-edge sound testing and high-speed camera equipment. Many of his design influences are still present in leading suppressor models today.
“I had the distinct privilege of working for Phil for nearly11 years at Gemtech before coming to the American Suppressor Association,” said ASA Vice President Owen Miller. “He was an incredible mentor who had a profound impact on my career development within the industry. More importantly he was great friend, and he will be truly missed.”

UFC Star Jiri Prochazka and Sports Shooter Eric Grauffel Lead CZ’s New Campaign For Responsible and Safe Firearms Ownership

![]()

Uhersky Brod (January 28, 2025) – Safe and responsible handling of firearms relies heavily on respect, calmness, balance, mental resilience, regular training, and discipline. These principles also apply to top athletes, which is why Ceska zbrojovka has teamed up with MMA champion Jiri Prochazka as the new face of its awareness campaign promoting firearm safety. Joining him in this initiative is Eric Grauffel, a nine-time IPSC World Champion and the head instructor at the EG-CZ Academy shooting school.
Both Jiri and Eric have reached the pinnacle of their respective disciplines through focus,
mental and physical resilience, and intense discipline and training. These qualities are also directly applicable to firearms users, including members of the armed forces, sportsman and women, target shooters, or those who carry for personal protection. The campaign titled Respect The Power & Master The Skill highlights the importance of a disciplined approach to firearms ownership by combining respect with practical skills such as safe handling and regular training.
As part of his preparation for UFC 311, taking place on January 18 in Los Angeles, Jiri Prochazka visited the professional sport shooting center EG-CZ Academy in Quimper, France. There, he trained rigorously with Eric Grauffel under IPSC rules, honing his shooting skills as well as principles that benefit his MMA career. For Jiri, this was not his first experience with firearms as shooting has been a hobby of his for several years and an integral part of his training regimen.
“Every shooter should strive to be at least half as focused, confident, and disciplined as Jiri. It was incredible to see how his inner mindset translates into his shooting skills. The ideal responsible firearm owner combines the right mental approach with practical expertise,” said Eric Grauffel, nine-time IPSC World Champion.
“Respect and responsibility have been central to my fighting career and my entire life. That’s why I enjoy recreational shooting, where these qualities are crucial. I often shoot CZ sport pistols, so I’m thrilled to bring something of myself – respect, focus, and both mental and physical resilience – to this project,” added MMA champion Jiri Prochazka.
One of the main goals of the Respect The Power & Master The Skill campaign is to raise awareness both within the shooting community and among the general public. The campaign website safety.czfirearms.com will feature videos and other materials demonstrating proper firearm handling techniques and ways to continuously improve skills through the right mental approach. Jiri Prochazka and Eric Grauffel will be the central figures in this content. There is also a contest for the visitors to the site, winner of which will have the opportunity to participate in a practical training session with Jiri and Eric in Las Vegas.

Modularity is everything at Hydra, offering customers a choice of the Hydra 10 complete rifle in .308/7.62×51 or the new 6.5 Creedmoor, or a Hydra barrel .308/7.62×51 or 6.5 Creedmoor. Hydra Weaponry is all about options. What makes modularity an important consideration in purchasing any rifle?
All that is required to change out calibers in the Hydra 10 is a barrel. Built in Hydra’s new facility in Maine, the Hydra 10 uses premium materials and is subjected to serious quality control standards; therefore, the Hydra 10 withstands extreme environments and conditions while consistently performing. The Hydra 10 is built on a BLK Systems stock and pistol grip, with a Quick-Change Barrel Upper Receiver (QCB-D), and runs on standard SR-25 magazines with a DPMS pattern. Rifles and barrels are available in black or tan with 16” or 18” barrels and a starting MSRP of $1,999.00.

MKS Announces Newport™ 819-SL-06-WL Optical Power and Wavelength Sensors for Easy, Accurate Laser Measurements in Telecom, Datacom, 3D Sensing, and Lidar Applications

January 28, 2025 – Andover, MA – MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, has announced the Newport™ 819-SL-06-WL optical power and wavelength sensors at SPIE’s Photonics West 2025. These sensors provide accurate, real-time power and wavelength measurements of laser sources between 400 and 1100 nm. Calibrated to NIST traceable standards to ensure accuracy, the 819-WL sensors feature a wide 6 mm aperture that simplifies optical measurements and eliminates problems related to detector saturation, alignment, beam profile, polarization, and back reflection. A convenient way to collect both power and wavelength information from lasers and VCSELs emitters, the 819-WL is designed for use in telecommunications, datacom, 3D sensing, and Lidar applications. When combined with the Newport 1938-R or 2938-R advanced optical meters, the 819-WL sensors provide both benchtop display and remote communication via USB, RS232, or Ethernet interfaces, making them ideal for automated test environments.
The Newport 819-SL-06-WL optical power and wavelength sensors simultaneously measure both power and wavelength, resulting in the unique ability to “self-calibrate” the wavelength dependent response of the internal detector. That means there is no need for the user to enter a reference wavelength in order to obtain an accurate power measurement; the instrument handles this automatically by detecting the laser wavelength. In addition, each sensor includes a thermoelectric cooler for temperature control and a built-in status LED indicator that notifies the user when the device has reached a stable temperature to begin measurements.
“Spectrometers and optical spectrum analyzers tend to be complex and costly ways to take much needed measurements,” said Reuven Silverman, General Manager, Ophir Photonics Products. “The 819-SL-06-WL sensors make it easy to collect both power and wavelength from devices under test. The new sensors eliminate many of the problems associated with collecting and sampling light. This helps keep measurements accurate and stable across a variety of ambient laboratory temperatures, signal wavelengths, and optical input power levels.”
Simplified mounting, quick setup and alignment, and a two-meter cable make the Newport 819-SL-06-WL sensors easy to integrate into an experiment or manufacturing setup. Both free-space and fiber-coupled input options are available to accommodate a variety of laser systems. For volume applications requiring higher wavelength measurement precision (up to ±0.01 nm), Newport offers customized specials to best meet your product needs.
Availability
The Newport™ 819-SL-06-WL optical power and wavelength sensor is available now.

With so many suppressors on the market, what sets SilencerCo apart?
SilencerCo has been producing industry leading cans for over 15 years and will continue to do so for years to come. During that entire time our team has strived to not only design and produce, but also repair and warranty suppressors with the goal of providing the best product and customer service to the end user.
Our passion for precision and quality, combined with our love of innovation, has driven us to achieve amazing things.
Last year we launched some of the most innovative products the suppressor industry has seen and this year was no different.
With SilencerCo, you’re not just buying a suppressor. You’re buying innovation.
