Plano’s New Field Locker Compound Bow Case

Plano, IL (January 4, 2016) – Product failure is intolerable when security and lives are at stake, which is why our military and law enforcement communities can’t afford to take chances with their equipment.

 

 

 

 

In 2015, Plano proudly introduced the Field Locker™ Mil-Spec Case Series; considered by many to be the finest firearms cases ever engineered, and representing the largest single capital outlay made in Plano’s 80-year history. The robust series consisted of five sizes and configurations for the protection of pistols, long-guns and tactical firearms. These cases were engineered and constructed to meet or exceed the exacting requirements of the U.S. Military and law enforcement. Specifically, each of these five cases were certified by an accredited test facility as meeting military specifications for immersion, dust, vibration and transit drop per MIL-STD-810G.

 

For 2016, this extreme level of performance and protection is now available to bow hunters and competitive archers in the form of the all-new Plano Field Locker Compound Bow Case, arguably the finest and most durable hard molded bow case ever produced. Read more

RMEF Speaks Up for Elk, Sportsmen as California Unveils Wolf Plan


MISSOULA, Mont.—The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation wishes to offer clarity regarding reports about California’s new wolf plan. Various media outlets reported that RMEF was part of a collaborative effort with other organizations, including environmental groups, to develop the plan. Such verbiage is misleading and seems to indicate RMEF’s support, approval and advocacy of the plan.”Plain and simple we asked for a seat at the table to speak out on behalf of elk as well as sportsmen and women,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO.

“We are extremely concerned about a wolf policy that will cause the same issues that we have seen in the Northern Yellowstone Elk Herd where wolf reintroduction had a drastic effect on elk herds. We question several elements of the plan itself and are also very concerned about recent comments by some groups that want less hunting so wolves can prey on more elk.” Read more
