UTG’s new Monopod – a Companion for All Occasions
The traditional Monopod has always been a niche product, employed by hunters for long forays into the wilderness to make accurate shot placement easier. While the new UTG TL-MP150Q Monopod stays true to this initial purpose, it can do much more. It’s one product with an ingenious design, usable in 3 ways. Actually, you can find a lot more ways to use this product once you have it in your possession!
UTG incorporates its patented quick-detach lever lock mount into the monopod to give it the needed versatility. It can be mounted directly to any 1913 Picatinny rail. A cushioned V-rest accessory with rubber strap is included to allow easy resting of almost any type of firearm. But, why limit it to guns? It can stabilize a crossbow or spotting scope equally well. Just attach the V-Rest with its mounting slot to the monopod QD base and you’re ready to go. A second accessory is a camera adapter that can be installed to a camera and mounted to the monopod for nature lovers to enjoy and capture wonders of nature. Read more

Jay Leno Bows to Anti-Gun Pressure
NSSF Statement on Jay Leno Cancellation of SHOT Show Appearance
We are clearly disappointed by Jay Leno’s decision not to perform at the 2015 SHOT Show State of the Industry Dinner. He unilaterally cancelled his promised appearance due to pressure from the anti-gun lobby, which included false statements about our industry and its commitment to genuine firearms safety, which we attempted to personally correct with him, but to no avail.
We are not deterred by their publicity seeking nor are we unfamiliar with the bullying political tactics of the gun control groups that seem to have as little respect for the First Amendment as they continually demonstrate with regard to the Second Amendment.
We are proud of the many programs that we run that meaningfully contribute to public safety including our long standing Project ChildSafe and Don’t Lie for the Other Guy initiatives in addition to our members everyday work in compliance with comprehensive federal and state laws. We will not allow the lawful commerce in firearms nor our industry to be demonized and we will continue to speak out for the Second Amendment rights of the millions of law-abiding citizens who are our customers.
Despite Mr. Leno’s cancellation, we look forward to having our biggest and best State of the Industry Dinner to date with a performer that respects the contributions of our industry and the customers it supports.
