Hornady InterBond Bullets Back in Production


Grand Island, NE., – Hornady® InterBond® bullets are back and better than ever! Expanded production capacity and improved manufacturing techniques have been incorporated that assist in the return of the accurate and consistent, bonded bullet.Unlike partitioned or dual-core bullets, where the front core can separate from the bullet mass, the proprietary bonding process of the InterBond® bullet holds together in a single mass that delivers a deep, wide wound channel without over-penetrating.

The bonding process, along with a thick, stiff jacket, allows InterBond® bullets to retain more than 90% of their mass, even through hide and bones. Plus, they rapidly expand to more than twice their diameter for maximum energy transfer. Read more

CGF Issues Statement on 9th Circuit Decision in 10-Day Waiting Period Case

SAN FRANCISCO – In response to today’s Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision overturning the trial court in the case of Jeff Silvester, et al., v. Attorney General Kamala Harris, a federal Second Amendment civil rights lawsuit challenging the State of California’s 10-day waiting period laws, Brandon Combs, executive director of The Calguns Foundation, has released the following statement:

“Today, this panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has proven to be more interested in their own policy preferences than the Constitution and the text, history, and tradition of the Second Amendment.

In its decision, the Court bizarrely ruled that even a person legally carrying a concealed weapon as he buys another gun at retail needs to be ‘cooled off’ for 10 days before taking possession of another constitutionally-protected firearm.

That holding is not even rational, much less should it survive any kind of heightened constitutional scrutiny compelled by the Supreme Court’s Heller and McDonald opinions. Read more

Hunters should prepare for possibility of being lost

LITTLE ROCK – Nearly a year ago, two northwest Arkansas hunters died tragically in Oklahoma on a duck hunt in the middle of a winter storm on a large public lake. The story was national news as the new year began. Rescue parties were unable to reach the men before both had perished.

It’s a reminder as this year ends that colder weather will be on the way, but hunters are determined to take out for waterfowl or other game, and inevitably, out in the wild and without proper equipment, it’s easy for a hunter to get lost and need rescuing. However, there are precautions to take that can help a lost hunter be easily found in time by rescue teams, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife officer Norman Cornish says.

Cornish, based in Monticello, was part of a rescue operation recently when a squirrel hunter, in his 40s, became lost in a portion of the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in southern Bradley County near the confluence of the Ouachita and Saline rivers. A combined effort in an overnight search by Cornish, AGFC wildlife officers from Hamburg, the Bradley County Search and Rescue, and the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office found the hunter by 11 a.m. the next day. The hunter was found standing in a creek, disoriented and suffering from hypothermia, and was briefly hospitalized in Warren. Read more

Ithaca, NY, New York, NY, & Pasadena, CA–The Merlin Bird Photo ID mobile app has been launched and, thanks to machine-learning technology, can identify hundreds of North American species it “sees” in photos. The app was developed by Caltech and Cornell Tech computer vision researchers in partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and bird enthusiasts. Because Merlin Bird Photo ID can be used on mobile devices, it can go anywhere bird watchers go.

“When you open the Merlin Bird Photo ID app, you’re asked if you want to take a picture with your smartphone or pull in an image from your digital camera,” explains Merlin project leader Jessie Barry at the Cornell Lab. “You zoom in on the bird, confirm the date and location, and Merlin will show you the top choices for a match from among the 650 North American species it knows.” Read more
