Never Fire a Bolt Again to Unload

Winchester Archery is proud to introduce the New Winchester Dark Horse Crossbow with its patent pending uncocking technology. That’s right, never fire a bolt again to unload.

For years, hunters have complained that shooting a bolt in order to decock their crossbow after dark is not only inconvenient, noisy, poses a risk of losing their bolt, but also just darn right dangerous. A matter of fact, in some states it’s mandatory to decock your crossbow, as carrying your loaded crossbow from the field after dark is illegal. The new Winchester Dark Horse provides a fast and simple solution for uncocking.

To decock, simply remove your bolt, place the cradle on the bowstring, draw the butt stock pad out, actuating the hydraulic cylinder, and pull the trigger. The unique hydraulic decocking system provides a safe and effective means of unloading without ever having to fire a bolt without using air tanks, electric gadgets, or ropes. Read more

HSUS and Codefendants Agree to Historic $15.75 Million Settlement

In a landmark settlement, Feld Entertainment, Inc., operator of the Ringling Brothers Circus, has recovered $15.75 million in attorney fees from the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and their codefendants. The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed against Feld Entertainment in 2000 alleging mistreatment of federally protected Asian elephants.

In order to establish “standing” to sue, the plaintiffs (HSUS, Born Free USA/Animal Protection Institute, Fund for Animals, Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), and the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and individual citizen, Tom Rider) had to show that a member of their organizations had a personal stake in the case, such as a direct personal connection with the elephants. Those groups pointed to Tom Rider as their key witness. Rider, a former elephant trainer for Feld Entertainment, submitted sworn affidavits alleging the personal connection needed to file the lawsuit.

During the course of the lawsuit, Feld Entertainment uncovered evidence that some of the groups, with the assistance of their attorneys at the Meyer, Glitzenstein and Crystal law firm, were secretly paying Rider’s living expenses and had submitted false information regarding those payments. In total, the payments amounted to $190,000. In response, Feld Entertainment sued HSUS and the other groups under federal anti-racketeering laws known as the RICO Act. Read more

CCRKBA: Obama Rewards Terrorists, Punishes Gun Companies

BELLEVUE, WA – Congress must “suck it up and act now” to rein in President Barack Obama and his administration, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today, because at the same time he turns loose five dangerous terrorists who want to hurt us, his administration has been trying to squeeze the economic life out of gun-related companies that have hurt nobody. “President Obama has broken the law by releasing five Taliban terrorist leaders in exchange for one soldier without notifying Congress, ” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and his administration has been trying to financially strangle gun companies with ‘Operation Choke Point, ‘ and they’ve done nothing wrong. This president’s priorities are way off the grid, and only Congress can stop this nonsense. ” Read more
