The new feature allows the user to instantly deploy the legs to 90° or use the button-locked positions at 0°, 45° or 90°. This flexibility benefits the hunter as well as the precision shooter who needs to rapidly transition from unsupported to supported shooting positions. “The popularity of the Skyline bipod has been phenomenal and with this added feature along with 3oz. of weight savings, we are confident we have the best performing bipod on the market”, said Parks.

Trio of Gun Groups Calls on SCOTUS to Strike Down NYC Gun Control Rule, Enforce Actual Text of Constitution’s 2A

U.S. Supreme Court Must Strike Down New York City Gun Control Rule and Tell Lower Courts to Enforce the Actual Text of Our Constitution’s Second Amendment, Argue Three Second Amendment Groups

WASHINGTON — Yesterday, counsel for Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Firearms Policy Foundation (FPF), and The Calguns Foundation (CGF) submitted a brief with the United States Supreme Court calling for the City of New York’s unconstitutional firearm law to be struck down. The court filing, authored by Supreme Court attorney Erik Jaffe of the Washington, D.C. boutique law firm Schaerr-Jaffe LLP, can be found at https://www.firearmspolicy.org/legal and accessed here.

The brief argues that many “courts have been relentless and creative in their efforts to uphold virtually any restriction on keeping or bearing arms,” and that those courts “lack the clear and firm guidance required for them to follow the law, rather than their predilections,” as the Second Circuit Court of Appeals did in the decision below by excluding much protected conduct from the supposed “core” of the Second Amendment, denying those things meaningful protection. But, the organizations’ brief says, “Rights covered by the text of the Second Amendment – as interpreted and understood according to history, practice, and public meaning when it and the Fourteenth Amendment were adopted – are not divided into lesser and greater categories. The Constitution itself has done the categorizing and those rights covered ‘shall not be infringed.’ Period.” Indeed, the court filing argues, “There is no further clause beginning with “except * * *.” No qualification of the prohibition saying some of those rights can be infringed a little, or if the government really feels strongly about it, or has reconsidered the costs and benefits of protecting such rights.” Read more

Michigan conservation officers offer important ORV safety tips

A view from behind of off-road vehicles riding away down a dirt trail, lined with mature treesSpeed and reckless driving are the primary contributing factors for off-road vehicle accidents, with 24 percent of all ORV accidents reported in 2017 resulting from people driving too fast, and 16 percent of riders not wearing a helmet.

Michigan DNR conservation officers are seeing more ORVs hitting the trail earlier in the season. They’re also seeing more accidents, which easily could be avoided by keeping safety in mind.

Most ORV accidents can be avoided by riding at a safe speed, riding sober, riding on the right side of the trail, easing up around corners, being familiar with the terrain and riding within the ORV’s limits. Read more
