SIG SAUER® Introduces 10mm Elite Performance Ammunition

Newington, NH – SIG SAUER, Inc., designer and manufacturer of the world’s most reliable firearms, accessories, and ammunition, continues to expand its Elite Performance Ammunition line with the introduction of two new 10mm options – a 180gr 10mm Elite Performance V-Crown™ Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) and a 180gr Elite Performance Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) premium target load.

The 10mm Elite Performance V-Crown JHP is an extremely accurate load delivering consistent expansion. A distinct advantage of the SIG V-Crown is the toothed cannelure located halfway up the shank of the bullet. Its location more effectively locks the jacket and lead/alloy core, providing exceptional structural integrity in a jacketed bullet. This design ensures maximum weight retention and energy on impact. The proprietary SIG V-Crown stacked hollow point bullet design, along with the V-shaped jacket skives, aids in providing controlled, uniform expansion. DUCTA-BRIGHT 7A™ coated brass cases also provide enhanced lubricity, offering superior corrosion resistance, and more reliable feeding and extraction in semi-automatic pistols.

USFWS Conducting Five-Year Review for Canada Lynx in Preparation for Recovery Planning

Marksmen Return to Port Clinton to Compete in 2015 Camp Perry Open

CAMP PERRY, Ohio – Over 200 competitors and counting are registered to compete in the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) ninth annual Camp Perry Open, Jan. 16-18, 2015, at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center. The popular competition is guaranteed to bring a whole new set of crowds and fresh perspectives to the winter scenery in the Port Clinton area.

Some of the best marksmen in the country will be competing in Port Clinton’s backyard – including members of the Army Marksmanship Unit and the USA Shooting team. Events to be fired during the competition include the Men’s and Women’s 60 Shot Air Rifle and Pistol matches and 3×20 Junior Air Rifle individual and team matches.

The competition is open to air rifle and air pistol athletes of all ages and experience levels. Registration will continue to be open until the start of each event, for those interested in taking a shot at the world of marksmanship. Visitors are welcome into the range to observe at any time during the match – with free admission.

The highlight of the Camp Perry Open that sets it apart from other matches is the highly anticipated Super Final – which breaks from the traditionally quiet, concentrated finals administered during marksmanship events and is arguably the most unique finals system in the arena of competitive shooting. This year’s Super Finals will be fired at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 17.

During the Super Finals, spectators are urged to bang on metal chairs, blast music, blow noisemakers and playfully hoot and holler at an attempt to distract the competitors and break their concentration for firing a perfect shot. Guests who have never seen the Super Finals are encouraged to attend and join in on the fun by being as LOUD as possible!

Preparing for Violence

If the recent events in Paris have proven anything, it’s that terrorism and violence have no boundaries. Incidents like this erupt without warning and those who are not prepared will be forced to sit dumbstruck and wait for help. This help may not arrive in time to save lives. The question we now raise is this: What are you prepared to do?

Even if you feel you are mentally prepared to deal with a violent attack, you will still need the proper equipment to save your life and possibly the lives of others. Below is a brief checklist that will allow you to see just how prepared you really are for the day you will never forget.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

If you plan on using a gun for protection, that gun must be with you at the time the attack starts. You will not have time to go get your gun once the attack begins. Some people claim to have a sidearm on their person in hopes of using that sidearm to fight their way to a long gun, which they believe is a better tool in a deadly force encounter. Regardless of what tool you intend to use in a fight, that tool must be ready for immediate action. Read more
