EOTECH Awarded SBIR Phase II Contract

Plymouth, MI – EOTECH, inventor and original manufacturer of Holographic technology for use on military, LE, hunting, and consumer firearms, has been awarded a follow up SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) contract for the development of a dual-color holographic head-up display for increased situational awareness and targeting in military aircraft.

This Phase II contract funds further development to produce a system that allows more information to be acquired faster without obscuring the pilot field of view, which leads to efficient decisions and reduced cognitive load on the end-user. Commercially, the developed technology may adapt to existing firearm weapon sights, and could provide customers with new functionality, such as overlaying waypoints or caliber data onto their field of view.

MOJO Outdoors Flock A Flicker 2 To Be Released Late Summer

MOJO® Outdoors, the world leader in motion decoys, is excited to release the redesigned Flock A Flicker™ 2 this season.

The patented (Pat. No. 10,517,291) Flock A Flicker™ proved to be one of the most popular waterfowl hunting products to come along since the spinning wing decoy. WHY? Because they worked when used in multiple units, as they mimic the random, quick “flashes” or “strobe” given off by a flock of contented ducks sitting on the water or dry ground, telling other ducks: It’s OK to land here. If you observe a flock of contented ducks, you will see these random “flashes” that rotate or flicker throughout.

MOJO® has improved on this ground-breaking concept with the re-designed Flock A Flicker™ 2 (4-Pack), which includes an upgraded housing with all other components the same as the original, which emits the same flash. With any spinning wing product, faster is better, and these blades (or wings) turn super fast. Packaged in a set of 4, add multiple sets to your spread for an ultra realistic look.

Montana: Biologists Set To Begin Grizzly Bear Captures For Research Purposes In The Southern Madison Mountains

BOZEMAN – As part of ongoing efforts required under the Endangered Species Act to monitor the population of grizzly bears in the Yellowstone Ecosystem, the U.S. Geological Survey, in conjunction with Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, is informing the public that pre-baiting and scientific capture operations are once again beginning within the Gravelly and Madison Ranges of Montana. Biologists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) will begin work in southwest Montana beginning June 21st and will continue through July 30th. Capture operations can include a variety of activities, but all areas where work is being conducted will have primary access points marked with warning signs. It is critical that all members of the public heed these signs.

Monitoring of grizzly bear distribution and other activities are vital to ongoing recovery of grizzly bears in the Yellowstone Ecosystem. In order to attract bears, agency biologists use natural food sources such as fresh road-killed deer and elk. Potential capture sites are baited with these natural foods and if indications are that grizzly bears are in the area, culvert traps, or sometimes foot snares, will be used to capture the bears. Once captured, bears are handled in accordance with strict safety and animal care protocols developed by the IGBST and approved by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Whenever bear capture activities are being conducted for scientific purposes, the area around the site will be posted with bright warning signs to inform the public of the activities occurring. These signs are posted along the major access points to the capture site. It is important that the public heed these signs and do not venture into an area that has been posted. For more information regarding grizzly bear capture efforts call the IGBST trapping hotline at 406-994-6675. Information about the grizzly bear research and monitoring is available from the IGBST website: https://www.usgs.gov/science/interagency-grizzly-bear-study-team

Davidson’s Exclusive SCCY DVG with Cheetah Print Finish

PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Davidson’s, one of the nation’s leading firearms, optics, ammunition, and accessories distributors, has partnered once again with SCCY Industries to bring to market a new exclusive.

This exclusive Davidson’s SCCY DVG, chambered in 9mm, has a striking cheetah dip print finish on the entire frame.

Unlike the majority of SCCY’s line, the DVG is a striker-fired pistol. It comes equipped with a flat-faced trigger that has an average 5 ½ pound trigger pull, and offers the user a consistent, clean and crisp break on each shot.

The DVG series incorporates the Roebuck Quad-Lock system, invented and patented by SCCY owner Joe Roebuck. The Quad-Lock system is a technology that locks the barrel to the slide in four distinct areas (rear of the chamber, front of the chamber and two adjacent points at the front of the barrel). The Quad-Locking of the barrel and slide joins the two components into one solid piece to improve accuracy by ensuring that the barrel returns to the exact same location every time. While locked in battery the pistol will not allow any side to side movement of the barrel, allowing for repeatable accuracy shot after shot. Read more
