Bovine TB Found in Wild, Indiana White-tailed Deer

INDIANAPOLIS—Bovine tuberculosis (TB) has been diagnosed in a white-tailed deer in Franklin County, Ind. This marks the first time the disease (more formally known as Mycobacterium bovis) has been found in a wild animal in Indiana. This finding means significant changes in disease monitoring requirements for cattle owners and deer hunters in the area.

The Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) has been working with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to test wildlife on a Franklin County cattle farm where TB was diagnosed in April. The 2-year-old doe that tested positive for TB was culled as part of the surveillance effort on the cattle farm.

Under federal requirements, finding TB in a free-ranging wild animal means testing of all cattle must expand from 3 miles to 10 miles and surveillance in hunter-harvested deer will intensify. Read more

Honor Defense Endurance Tests


It’s easy to say that a pistol will go through thousands of rounds without a problem-it’s quite another thing to fire thousands of rounds in 2 days. But that’s exactly what Honor Defense does.In mid-July, Honor Defense began another phase endurance testing its 9MM, striker-fired handguns with Manual Safeties. The protocol includes shooting over 5,000 rounds in 2 days in a single pistol.

“This is reality testing,” said Gary Ramey, president of Honor Defense. “We run pistols until they are too hot to handle. We drop magazines on the ground, and just keep loading and shooting. We want to know pistols perform under realistic conditions and we don’t pamper them. Pistols are tools that must be pushed to the limits and then find ways to improve them.

Ramey added “For our endurance testing, it is critical to have consistent high quality ammunition. So we use Sinterfire ammunition. because it is made in America and reliable. Sinterfire is best known for manufacturing lead-free, copper/tin frangible projectiles, but they have ammunition for all types of applications. I use it in my personal carry weapon” Read more
