UTG QD Single Point Sling

A sling isn’t just a sling. It is a lifeline between you and your firearm. It is the difference between quick or sloppy deployment and or detachment from the firearm. How it manages the weight of your firearm can be the deciding factor between being at ready at all times and fatiguing too fast and too early when it matters most. UTG kept these thoughts in mind when they developed their latest single point bungee sling.

Being a single point sling, it allows the firearm to hang freely underneath your shoulder, positioning the grip of the firearm at hand’s level. The PVC-GB507B delivers reliable and quick performance without sacrificing comfort and convenience. Featuring a steel push button quick detach sling swivel stud, attaching and detaching your firearm is made effortless when needed. A durable bungee system reduces fatigue by relieving the felt weight of the firearm away from the user’s shoulder and the strap itself is constructed out of heavy duty 1.5″ quick adjustable nylon webbing for maximum durability and comfort. Adjustable from 42″-58″, the UTG Next Gen. Single Point Bungee Sling, fits most body types and gear.

30 Pound 4 Ounce Watermelon

The watermelons are ripening fast now and we’ve harvested another whopper.  A good year despite a terribly dry June thanks to the water well pump installed for our remote garden.  Growing watermelons in Michigan is a good trick, considering the relatively short growing season but our 14 hills have provided some 60 melons and they’re some of the best ever.

DSCF Grant Supports K9 Anti-Poaching Unit

DALLAS – DSC and DSC Foundation (DSCF) grants are once again going directly to funding conservation and anti-poaching activities for wildlife. DSC and DSCF granted funds to build and sustain the South African Rhino Protection Programme’s K9 unit, trained and housed at the South African Wildlife College (SAWC). The tracking dogs team with field rangers in finding and capturing suspected poachers.

Specifically, the grants will be used to build dog kennels and support operational expenses, including feed and training. Without the K9 unit, field rangers are left at a distinct disadvantage. The success rate is approximately 30 to 1 when comparing a ranger team with a K9 asset to one without. In the near future, the K9 facility at SAWC will be available to train rangers from other countries in southern Africa. Read more
