ATN’s New ThOR 6 Elite: The Most Advanced Thermal Rifle Scope Built for Hunters

ATN Corp, America’s leading innovator in smart hunting optics and thermal imaging technology, today announced the launch of the ATN ThOR 6 Elite, the most capable thermal hunting scope the company has ever built. Powered by an all-new 6th Generation thermal engine and ATN’s proprietary SharpIR© AI image enhancement technology, the ThOR 6 Elite was designed from the ground up for hunters: coyote hunters, hog hunters, whitetail hunters, predator hunters, and everyone who has ever wished their thermal scope could see more, do more, and hold up to whatever the field throws at it. This is what hunters have been asking for — and ATN has delivered.

6th Generation Thermal Core: See the Unseen

At the heart of the ThOR 6 Elite is ATN’s new 6th Generation thermal engine, available in 384×288 or 640×512 resolution — both featuring industry-leading ?15mK NETD ultra-sensitive sensors built on a 12?m pixel pitch. These sensors detect the faintest heat differences, enabling early target detection at longer ranges, sharper detail at higher zoom, and consistent performance in hot, humid, or low-contrast environments where other thermal scopes fall short.

For hunters, that means spotting a coyote tucked tight against a cedar fence line at 400 yards, picking out a hog rooting through tall grass in total darkness, or catching movement on a distant ridgeline well before first light. Read more

FPC to Appeal Misguided Texas Carry Ruling

Judge Pittman’s misguided opinion upholding Texas’s carry ban across wide swaths of public life-including at sporting events-isn’t even in the same ballpark as the Constitution. His decision is nothing but foul balls, so we’ve directed our attorneys to appeal this case to the Fifth Circuit without delay. We’re confident the law and the Supreme Court’s binding precedent will prevail-and this insane ruling will be reversed.

New World Record Velvet Typical Sitka Blacktail Deer

On Saturday, March 21st, the Pope and Young Club (P&Y) convened a Special Panel of Judges at a location in Lakeside, AZ, for a potential P&Y World Record Velvet Typical Sitka Blacktail Deer. Bob Ameen’s velvet blacktail scored an amazing 115 0/8 and is now the largest bow-harvested VELVET Typical Blacktail in North America. This amazing blacktail deer was shot in Southeast Alaska.

Judges (official measurers) present at the Special Panel were (L to R) Roy Grace, Bryan Yorksmith, David May, and Dallin Durfee, all of Arizona. With a final score of 115 0/8, Ameen’s velvet typical blacktail deer was confirmed as the new P&Y World Record. This deer surpasses the previous largest velvet typical blacktail deer in the records program by 5 1/8″. The Pope and Young Club allows all velvet antlered species to be eligible for World Record status within their own velvet categories.

“I have been hunting for a deer of this size for about 35 years. Hard work and determination definitely has paid off”, says Ameen.

“Animals of this size don’t come along like this very often, it shows conservation plays a major roll in hunting “, says Ricky Krueger, P&Y Records Chairman.

You can see this incredible animal on display at the Pope and Young’s Biennial Awards Convention in Little Rock, AR, April 8-10, 2027. Read more
