MidwayUSA Foundation Provides $2.3 Million in Range Development Grants

Columbia, MO – MidwayUSA Foundation has provided cash grants for the fourth year in a row to help ranges across the country expand and encourage more youth shooting sports activities. This year, $2.3 million has been awarded to 99 recipients. This is a substantial increase in both recipients and dollars paid compared to last year’s cycle. These grants ensure our country’s ranges are able to support our youth with the best shooting experience possible.

MidwayUSA Foundation Executive Director, G. Scott Reynolds, spoke about the Range Development Grant Program. “America’s youth not only need funding to cover their shooting sports expenses, but they need qualified coaches to teach them to shoot safely, and they need a safe place to shoot. MidwayUSA Foundation is proud to offer grant programs to cover all three needs. Youth shooting sports help build character during our children’s formative years and is key to growing and perpetuating shooting sports, which provides nearly 80% of Pittman Robertson conservation dollars. We are delighted our Range Development Grant Program will have a meaningful impact on this important segment of shooting sports participants.” Read more

Integrally Suppressed Crosman Vantage Plus

BLOOMFIELD, NY — Crosman Corporation, the trusted name in airgun innovation, has released the Vantage Plus, an integrally suppressed break-barrel air rifle fed by a manually indexed clip system for rapid follow-up shots.

The .22 caliber Vantage Plus is in stock and shipping now, and retails for $139.99.

The rotary clip holds up to 6 pellets and is manually indexed between shots. The shooter simply actuates the barrel to cock the air rifle, advances the clip, closes the barrel, then fires the next pellet. The clip system eliminates the need to dig in pockets or tins for extra pellets and allows the shooter to keep attention on the target.

While designed to operate primarily with the rotary clip, the Vantage Plus can also be loaded with a single pellet like a traditional break-barrel air rifle.

The built-in Quiet Fire suppressor minimizes the sound of each shot, allowing for quiet target practice or pest control. The Vantage Plus wears an all-weather, synthetic stock and comes with a 4X32mm scope.

Powered by Nitro Piston® technology , the Vantage Plus fires .22 caliber lead pellets at up to 800 feet per second. Read more

New Rule Provides Federal Firearms Licensees Access to FBI Records of Stolen Firearms

An interim final rule signed by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on June 24, 2024, will allow federal firearms licensees (FFLs) to voluntarily access records of stolen firearms in the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The rule implements parts of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) and allows FFLs to verify whether a firearm offered for sale has been reported as stolen prior to adding it to their inventory.

FFLs will immediately have two options to access the stolen gun records:

  1. FFLs may partner with law enforcement agencies to search the NCIC stolen gun records.
  2. States may request an extract of the NCIC stolen gun records to make available to FFLs within their jurisdiction.

A third option under development will allow FFLs that currently leverage the National Instant Criminal Background Check System for firearm background checks via E-Check to also use E-Check to query the NCIC stolen gun records.

When a search indicates a firearm is stolen, the FFL may report that information to a criminal justice agency. This will assist law enforcement agencies investigating reports of stolen firearms by providing potential investigative leads and will help deter or halt the sale of stolen firearms through seemingly legitimate business transactions.
