Rio Grande Custom Grips – Custom Image Grips

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013

Brighton, CO, September 2013– Rio Grande Custom Grips announces their move in to full custom design handgun grips (also known as stocks). If it is a customer supplied image, logo, text, photograph or whatever, Rio Grande can get it on your favorite handgun’s grips.

143

This gives proud handgun owners the ability to say their thing on their grips and for a surprisingly low price. How low you ask?

Well, the initial design and production setup and application of the image into the first pair of handgun grips is only $112.95 and you get a set of finished personally customized grips.

142

After that first pair and custom image set up the price drops to their regular $54.95 for subsequent grips you may want. And if at that time you only wanted the first pair and later want more with that same image, they keep your information on file and you pay ONLY their regular price of $64.95 for a single pair and $54.95 each for multiple pairs!

And if you order in volume such as for a unit, organization, association, company or whatever, they have excellent volume discounts available.

V2 EBR Trigger Shoe

Monday, September 16th, 2013

V2 EBR Trigger Shoe

The X-Treme Shooting V2 EBR Trigger Shoe is designed specifically for the pistol gripped SAGE EBR M14 chassis, although it also works well with chassis from TROY, McMillan, LAW483, CM, Blackfeather, Archangel, JAE, Vltor, M14E2, etc. It was created because the standard M14 trigger isn’t designed to work well with a pistol grip, given the upward direction of pull. It widens and lengthens the stock M14 trigger, giving the trigger a more rearward pull and preventing the tip of the trigger from stabbing the finger tip. Made from 100% steel.

Gerber Gear Round Up – Bear Grylls Survival Lanyard

Sunday, September 15th, 2013

Gerber gear offers a selection of knives, flashlights, belts, and other survival tools for the outdoorsman. We purchased a small variety of Gerber survival tools, and put them to the test with our own weekend warriors, our three Boy Scouts. The rules were simple. They could select any of the products that wanted but had to write about their impressions.

Each week, we’ll feature a new Gerber product review written by one of the Scouts.

Survival Lanyard

The Bear Grylls Survival Lanyard has six feet of paracord and an emergency whistle. It easily attaches to packs, keychains, etc.

I like how you can attach it to your gear to take it with you on trips. Having paracord is good because it is a very useful survival tool. I also like the emergency whistle and the orange color, because both make this lanyard a bit helpful for rescue purposes. I don’t like how it only has six feet of paracord.

110800 ULTRA-LITE BOW CASE

Plano, IL (September 13, 2013) – Archers wanting to protect their equipment investments have looked to Plano® for durable, reliable and affordable solutions. As the leader in bow storage care, the company has built a new option designed specifically for smaller youth models or downsized adult styles of recurve and compound bows.

Plano’s new Ultra-Lite Bow Case, model 1108-00, was constructed with the same expertise and features found in their most popular full-size cases, including dense foam padding on the lid and base to secure the bow in place. Plano’s patented PillarLock system provides another level of strength with two strategically located crush-resistant support pillars.

The case has four yellow snap-on latches that provide tight and positive closure, and its molded handle affords comfort and carrying convenience.

The Ultra-Lite Bow Case’s exterior measures 40.625” x 14.125” x 3” and its inside dimensions measure 39.5” x 12.75” x 2.5”. The black case styled with yellow latches makes smaller bow storage look good.

Tenzing Carbon Fiber Pack System Carries The Load

Thursday, September 12th, 2013

cf13l_4

Plano, IL (September 9, 2013) – The Tenzing product line was born by engineers thinking outside of the box of what had always been the norm for hunting packs. For 2013 they are at it again, but this time thinking outside of the frame. Proof comes in the form of the new Tenzing TZ CF13 Carbon Fiber Frame System.

It only takes a quick glance to realize that the TZ CF13 is something special, and then the “WOW” really comes when the frame is picked up. The carbon fiber frame and suspension together weigh only 3 pounds, 8 ounces, yet have been designed to be the most comfortable wearing pack frame system on the market capable and expandable to carry whatever the hunter can imagine. But that’s what the TZ CF13 is all about … versatility. It can be used as a frame only, or as a more traditional hunting pack when fitted with the Tenzing custom components that are included with the system.

Tenzing’s frame is constructed with 100-percent carbon fiber; it contains no fiberglass fillers. During the manufacturing process, the frame is pre-impregnated with aerospace grade resin, externally pressurized, and then heat cured to solidify its construction. Based upon field-tested requirements, it is built with a quasi-isotropic, balanced layup of 2×2 twill weave carbon fiber. This ensures the ideal strength-to-weight ratio. After curing, the solid composite frame is extracted from the mold and then handcrafted and precision-machined to exacting specifications, with all processes occurring right here in the USA.

The frame’s form-fitting rigid shape and fully adjustable suspension system are all about wearer comfort and hauling big loads. It has been designed to flex with movement of the hips as you walk, yet remain extremely rigid allowing the load to stay secure and tight against the body.

The TZ CF13 offers so many loading options with its amazing suspension system that it’s virtually impossible to calculate a maximum cubic inches capacity by which most packs are measured. Included with the system is a top that comes off and can be used as a fanny pack. Also, the pack has wings on each side that wrap around a 24” x 11.5” x 7” bag. On the frame is a bottom Dyneema shelf. Located inside the Dyneema shelf is a hunter orange pullout for use as a safety feature when packing horns. For even more packing options, the pack has six horizontal compression straps – three on the frame and three on the wings – and two vertical compression straps on the bottom reservoir. Last but not least, there are two removable hip pockets.

The pack system’s innovative new ergonomic waist belt rides where it is supposed to and adjusts easily with pulls on both sides for centering the load when buckling up. Elastic cuffs keep the straps quiet and secure while the wearer is moving.

The entire TZ CF13 system comes with everything listed above, weighs just under 6 pounds altogether and has the capability to carry payloads of more than 300 pounds.

The Tenzing TZ CF13 frame color is light gray, and the pack is Loden Green.

NRA Life Of Duty – 9/11 Tribute

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013

September 11, 2001 began like any other day for New York City firefighter John Norman. But when an urgent “all call” message shook his home answering machine, he raced into a day he would never forget … the day terror stuck the twin towers at the World Trade Center. Norman led the rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero after the buildings’ collapse claimed the lives of most of the senior leadership above him. Struggling to control his personal grief to assume responsibility for the operation, Norman served his fellow citizens with honor.

Today we salute all of our selfless first responders who rushed into harm’s way twelve years, ago along with the brave men and women in uniform who have been fighting to defend our home security every since. May we never forget the lives lost that dark September morning and may we never forget the cost of freedom.
