Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., is proud to announce the upcoming release of the TT Medic MASCAL Pack, available in May 2023. Designed specifically for the needs of Active Threat Medics (ATM), the TT Medic MASCAL (Mass Casualty) Pack is a first aid treatment pack that is optimized for simultaneous initial treatment of multiple wounded persons when individual treatment is not immediately possible.

“We are pleased to introduce the TT Medic MASCAL Pack to our line of medic packs,” commented Richard Lewis, President and CEO of Proforce Equipment, Inc. “This pack is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of Active Threat Medics who may be faced with multiple casualties in high-pressure situations. We have created a pack that is practical, durable, and reliable.”

One of the key features of the TT Medic MASCAL Pack is its practical and efficient design. The front of the backpack is equipped with four Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) pouches, allowing for quick and easy access to essential supplies. The interior layout is strategically organized to accommodate a large stock of medical supplies for emergency operations involving mass casualties (the pack does not come equipped with medical supplies). Additionally, the sides of the pack are equipped with MOLLE in a laser-cut design, providing ample space for attaching additional gear or accessories. The pack comes with a handle for easy transport and includes a scissor bag for added convenience

“We understand the critical role that Active Threat Medics play in providing immediate medical care in high-stress situations. The TT Medic MASCAL Pack is designed to support their needs and provide them with a reliable and efficient tool for saving lives,” concluded Lewis.

Gold Tip’s Randy Morocco Wins Second ASA Tour Event in a Row

Gold Tip®, an industry leader in carbon arrows and bolts, congratulates team archers for another string of impressive finishes at the 2023 ASA Fort Benning Pro/AM, which took place in Fort Benning, Georgia. Gold Tip archers were successful in claiming first place wins in both the Senior Pro Known and Men’s Unknown Pro classes plus multiple other podium finishes.

The second stop on the ASA 3-D National Tour, Fort Benning is also the biggest venue in 3-D archery with more than 1,700 shooters registered from across the U.S. and world. A relative newcomer to Team Gold Tip, Randy Morocco sealed his second victory on the ASA circuit, again winning first place in the new Senior Pro Known class after claiming the same title at the ASA Foley competition. Throughout the match, Morocco shot Gold Tip Triple X Pros. Teammate and staff manager Tim Gillingham came in third in the same event.

“Randy has been shooting great and it’s good to have him on Team Gold Tip,” Gillingham said. “I tried hard to beat him this weekend, but he wasn’t giving up any of the lead he had gained.”

New to the pro podium was Gold Tip staffer Hunter Hogan, who had an outstanding second-place performance in the Men’s Unknown Pro class. Meanwhile, in the Men’s Known Pro, where some of the best shooters in the sport compete, Gold Tip/Bee Stinger pros Lane Brandt and Alex Taylor took second and third respectively after an incredibly tight shoot-off.

When it comes to marksmanship, Kenlee Ewton, 18, of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., is all in.

She’s a regular at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Monthly Matches, an indoor competition series for air rifle and air pistol athletes. The event is held each month at the CMP’s own air gun ranges, the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center in Ohio and the Judith Legerski CMP Competition Center in Alabama.

For Kenlee, who chooses to compete at the Alabama location, the Monthly Matches are another way of training and interacting with likeminded individuals who share a common interest – marksmanship.

“I enjoy how most of the people in this sport support each other, despite being on different teams or what their scores are. The community is great,” Kenlee said. “It’s uplifting to see familiar faces at the Monthly Matches in Anniston. Plus, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s easy to get to know other shooters.”

Kenlee is a hardworking athlete, earning a prestigious Junior Distinguished Badge #1453 in 2019. She also recently won gold at the Tennessee Junior Olympic qualifier for air rifle and silver for smallbore. In 2021, she was among the top athletes at the USA Shooting Winter Airgun match – with several other notable accolades over her career.

77,246 people gather for NRA Annual Convention

Indianapolis, IN – The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) announces the election results from its Board of Directors Meeting held in Indianapolis, IN. Charles Cotton was reelected NRA President, former Congressman Bob Barr was elected as First Vice President, and David Coy reelected Second Vice President. Wayne LaPierre was again elected CEO and Executive Vice President.

In recognition of his extraordinary leadership these past two years, the NRA Board of Directors  voted unanimously to amend its bylaws to allow Cotton to succeed himself for a third term. In addition to his responsibilities as NRA President, Cotton is Chairman of the Audit Committee and a transformational leader.

LaPierre was re-elected by the NRA Board of Directors, who annually elect the CEO/EVP. The Board of Directors are elected by NRA members. This followed a vote at the NRA Members Meeting on April 15, 2023, where members expressed confidence in Mr. LaPierre. The weekend festivities were proceeded by the NRA-Institute for Legislative Action on April 14, 2023 – a gathering of thousands of pro-Second Amendment elected officials, presidential candidates, and grassroots supporters. 

These announcements culminated a multi-day NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis that remembered those impacted by recent violence. NRA officials and guests used the meetings as a platform to support increased safety measures in public places, invest in law enforcement, and push for improved mental health services. During today’s meeting, the NRA recognized members of the U.S. military, law enforcement personnel, and others who have made the ultimate sacrifice. 

The National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Shooting Illustrated magazine selected Federal’s all-new 30 Super Carry Cartridge to receive its Golden Bullseye Award for 2023 Ammunition Product of the Year. Federal was presented with the award during a special reception on Friday, April 14, 2023 at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“This brand-new cartridge is certainly gaining popularity with the masses. We couldn’t be more excited about our new product launch and the extremely positive recognition it has received from NRA publications and many others,” said Nick Sachse, Federal Ammunition’s Director of Handgun Product Management. “We are pleased that the editors at NRA’s Shooting Illustrated found that our new cartridge exceeded their evaluation expectations for function, reliability, innovation in design, and is a true value to the firearm owner.”

Now in their 21st year, the NRA Publications Golden Bullseye Awards acknowledge the finest products available in the shooting sports. The winners are selected by a seven-member committee consisting of editors, graphic designers, and veteran NRA Publications staff, representing more than a century of collective experience in the shooting and hunting industry.

“The 30 Super Carry Cartridge is a truly innovative new product in a very mature and crowded space, which certainly is not easy to do, thus it’s deserving of all the accolades,” continued Sachse. “We are extremely proud of this award, and we thank NRA publications for the great recognition.”

Federal’s 30 Super Carry cartridge carries like a 380 Auto and hits like a 9mm, which means shooters can increase capacity without sacrificing performance. Federal Ammunition has 100 years of experience producing ammunition and is the ideal company to develop a better concealed carry cartridge for the next generation of self-defense pistols, and that’s exactly what the company has accomplished with this introduction. With so many advantages over existing cartridges, 30 Super Carry stands to revolutionize self-defense.

Take On Turkeys with Your Bow Outfitted with A Tetra RYZ Moveable Bow Sight

Wisconsin Rapids, WI – Adjustable bow sight technology leader HHA Sports brings decades of experience with single-pin bow sights and the company is now the leader in multi-pin moveable bow sight technology with the outstanding Tetra RYZ bow sights. Hunters looking to take on the challenge of archery turkey season will find that the Tetra RYZ sights are the best option for chasing active toms that can come in at unpredictable ranges.

“One of the biggest challenges when using archery equipment to hunt turkeys is finding the exact pin to use at the ranges turkeys can pop up at,” said Chris Hamm, Co-Owner and VP of Operations at HHA Sports. “The two-pin Tetra RYZ sights are perfect for making that difficult shot at such a small target area, regardless of the range. Once you are dialed in, you can wait out the turkey to make the best shot possible, with the knowledge and confidence that the RYZ sight gives you.”

Bowhunters will like that the HHA Sports Tetra RYZ and Tetra MAX RYZ sights have two pins contained within a single-pin structure, with a green top pin and the bottom pin, which comes in red or yellow. Getting it set up is simple, too. You sight in the top pin at 20 and 60 yards, and the bottom pin is automatically sighted in. The pins come in .010, .019-inch diameter that use HHA’s A.R.M.O.R. pin protection technology for long life and durability. The pin is housed in a 1-⅝ inch scope with a built-in level bubble and a mechanical rheostat option.

For hunters looking for added range, the Tetra Max RYZ uses a long-range version of HHA’s legendary Range. Dial. Shoot. Technology with water-resistant yardage tapes. The Max RYZ comes with the longest-range yardage tape HHA Sports has ever developed. The Long Range R.D.S. gives archers to-the-yard accuracy from 20 out past 100 yards with the simple turn of a wheel. The Infinite Adjust Slotted Side Bracket makes that process quicker, too. With 2.1-inches of travel, the Tetra Max RYZ has outstanding accuracy so hunters can be ready at whatever comfortable range the tom comes strutting in at.

Brownells customers can quickly assemble a 9mm AR-15 style firearm with the BRN-9 — the newest Brownells BRN series complete upper receiver — in stock and shipping now.

A self-contained upper receiver chambered in 9mm, the BRN-9 is blowback operated, runs suppressed or unsuppressed without adjustment, and fits onto any standard AR-15 or BRN-180 lower receiver.

Because the upper does not require a buffer assembly, it readily functions with a folding stock as an SBR or with no stock at all as a pistol. For 9mm SBR configuration, all NFA rules apply. 

The BRN-9 is compatible with both 9mm-only lowers and common 9mm magazine well adapters, including those for Glock, Sig, Colt, CZ Scorpion and MP5 magazines.

The upper retains bolt catch functionality and works with last round bolt hold open lowers. The non-reciprocating charging handle can be switched to either side.

Plus, we love how this show focuses on hunting experiences with friends – both human and canine. It’s beautiful.”  

Wild Upland takes viewers in pursuit of Hungarian partridge and California quail in Idaho, Mearns and scaled quail in Arizona, wild pheasant in South Dakota, swans and ducks in Utah, and ruffed grouse in Maine, among other species in various locations across the country.

They understand what passionate hunters need in the field and also share the same love and dedication for hard-charging sporting dogs that we do.”

Schuerch Returns to the Podium at Second TTG Competition

Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, congratulates tactical athlete Ehea Schuerch for her third-place finish in the Women’s Elite division at The Tactical Games Texas regional event. Schuerch’s most recent win marks back-to-back podium finishes for the new Blackhawk athlete to kick off the 2023 Tactical Games season.

Schuerch hit the ground running with Team Blackhawk this year winning her first match at The Tactical Games Mississippi regional event in February.  Competing once again in the Women’s Elite Division, Schuerch utilized her Blackhawk T-Series® L2D holster, Blackhawk Foundation Series plate carrier, MOLLE belt, and Blackhawk Multi-Point rifle sling to secure third place against a tough field of competitors.

“The competition was fierce at the Texas event and I had so much fun fighting until the end with this group of badass women,” Schuerch said. “I focused my efforts on the things I could control, and I fought hard on day two to come back and earn a place on the podium. My light weight and low-profile Foundation Series gear allowed me to move faster and, as always, my T-Series holster performed flawlessly in some challenging courses.”

A Spokane, Washington native, Schuerch began competing at The Tactical Games in 2022, where she quickly became one of the games’ fiercest competitors. Last year at the National Championship in Florence, Texas, Schuerch placed second amongst a group of 15 elite female competitors.

The Statesmen of Oskaloosa, Iowa, claimed their latest national title in March in Las Vegas, Nevada, topping 10 other teams with 1,423 clay targets broken out of a possible perfect score of 1,500 in Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clays combined.

Midland University and Concordia University, both located in Nebraska, finished second and third respectively at the 2023 national championship.
