Mossy Oak Shooting Bags

ROGERS CITY, MI – The first and only shooting bag made in the USA with officially licensed Mossy Oak® brand camouflage, The Shooting Bag from Camp Camo, was designed with the single purpose of stabilizing your shot without becoming cumbersome.

Its size was carefully thought out to provide the most stability without being too bulky; no one wants to carry around a huge shooting bag. The unique high-tac, non-slip lining keeps The Shooting Bag in place no matter what surface you may be shooting from. The cradle that holds the gun was designed to meld around the stock, which adds a perfect amount of stability to increase the accuracy of each shot on the range, in the deer blind, or from a fence post. The Shooting Bag from Camp Camo is built to last using 600 Denier water-resistant material.

The Shooting Bag™ stabilizes your gun for a more accurate shot when compared to not using a stabilizer. It ships unfilled. Fill it with whole or crushed corn, beans, buckwheat hulls or rice. Fill size is 6-inches wide, 7-inches high and 2-inches deep. Retail price is $29.95.

Northern Lower Peninsula wolf survey starts Feb. 16

Feb. 16 through March 13 marks the next wolf track survey to detect the presence of gray wolves in the northern Lower Peninsula.

wolf and coyote tracks in snow“The probability of observing an actual wolf or its tracks in the Lower Peninsula is low,” said DNR wildlife biologist Jennifer Kleitch. “It’s helpful to have as many eyes as possible looking, so public reports are important for this survey.”

Wolves began naturally returning to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula through Canada and Wisconsin in the early 1990s. Since that time, populations have increased and their range continues to expand. Evidence of range expansion into the Lower Peninsula came when a gray wolf was accidentally killed in Presque Isle County in 2004.

Wolf sightings or tracks believed to have been from a wolf, between Feb. 16 and March 13, can be reported to the DNR’s Gaylord Customer Service Center at 989-732-3541, ext. 5901. Reports of observations also can be submitted online at www.dnr.state.mi.us/wildlife/pubs/wolf_obsreport.asp.

Survey teams will respond to the areas with recent reports, searching locations where there have been one or more reported observations. Priority will be placed on recent reports and those submitted during the survey period.

“It’s important that observations are reported in a timely manner so we can work with fresh evidence. If the public finds what they believe are wolf tracks, they should preserve the physical evidence and disturb it as little as possible or take a photo of the tracks with a ruler,” said Kleitch. “We’d also be very interested in any pictures of a wolf in the Lower Peninsula.” Read more

Pennsylvania town posts signs: “This is not a gun free zone”

This is not a gun free zone sign

Conoy Township has only a little over 3,000 people, but they may be getting some unusual attention.  From Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s LNP:

Conoy Township has a message for criminals who might be thinking about preying on its residents: This is not a gun-free zone.
And that’s exactly what visitors will see once all the signs are securely in place along every road leading into the township. . . .
Mohr said he came up with the idea and township supervisors unanimously approved the decision to create and post the signs last fall.
“Over the last six months we’ve seen more and more home invasions and petty crime, so we thought these signs would show people we take pride in what we own,” he said. . . .

All New Forged Mil-spec A2 Carry Handle Sight by Leapers/UTG

Ever since mankind started working metal to make tools and implements for daily use, forging has been the process by which all others are measured. Producing parts with superior material strength and cohesion over casting or machining, makes forging the best choice for many Mil-spec firearm accessories. Leapers/UTG has risen to the challenge of making their already widely successful Mil-spec A2 carry handle sight even better by using 7075 T6 aircraft grade aluminum and forging it from one piece.

The forged blank is then precision machined to exacting tolerances. Made right here in the USA, this match grade carry handle is virtually indestructible and mounts easily to all Picatinny railed flat top upper receivers using secure retention thumb nuts and a hardened steel side plate for solid locking. The sight assembly itself is made from steel and has precise windage and elevation dials augmented by dual apertures, making it suitable for tactical use as well as competition. Weighing in at a mere 9.3 ounces, the Leapers/UTG Forged A2 Carry Handle is a maximum performance upgrade for your AR built as solid as a hammer striking an anvil. Read more
