Whitetails Unlimited Offers Free Sight-In Targets

Rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader deer seasons are fast approaching, but whatever firearm is used it is very important for the hunter to be confident with their abilities to hit a target accurately – every time. To help ensure that you and your firearm are shooting accurately, Whitetails Unlimited will ship a pad of 100-yard sight-in targets at no cost. The targets measure approximately 14 x 16 inches and has 1-inch grids with a 6-inch center highlight ring.

Whitetails Unlimited celebrates the American tradition of hunting deer, the most popular big-game animal in North America. WTU expects hunters to go afield on ethical, fair-chase hunts; part of that hunting ethic is to only take shots when the hunter is sure of the target, knows what is beyond the target, and is following all applicable hunting laws and regulations. For more information about hunting safely and legally, contact your state’s department of natural resources.

“These sight-in targets are a great way to confirm your firearm is accurate,” said Whitetails Unlimited Program Services Director Russ Austad. “An accurate firearm will ensure a clean, ethical kill.”

For individuals to receive their targets, just call Whitetails Unlimited National Headquarters at 1-800-274-5471. Read more

NDA’s onX Hunt CWD Layer Now Shows Testing Sites, More Resources

The National Deer Association (NDA) has announced newly expanded information in the onX Hunt App CWD map layer will now make it even easier for deer and elk hunters to help fight chronic wasting disease (CWD). This new layer provides insights on CWD distribution, management zones, testing locations, carcass disposal sites and more for the entire country–all within the onX Hunt App.

CWD is a neurodegenerative disease of deer and elk that results in abnormal behavior, loss of body condition, and eventually death. CWD is 100% fatal and is found in most species of the deer family (cervids), including whitetail and mule deer, elk, and moose. onX and NDA worked together to provide the first nationwide database of CWD information for hunters in 2018. The new layer in the onX Hunt App could be used to visualize CWD distribution, but with the new update, the CWD layer now also shows testing locations, carcass disposal sites and regulations for each CWD management zone. This information, along with relevant links to all state CWD resources and regulations, will help empower you to fight CWD and become part of the solution. Read more

SnapSafe Under Bed Safes Protect Firearms and Valuables

Grand Island, NE – Some homeowners prefer a shotgun or carbine for a home defense weapon. These long guns provide extra peace of mind at night but also require bigger storage containers than pistols. SnapSafe offers the solution. Under Bed Safes keep larger firearms, ammunition and other valuables secure, allowing quick and convenient slide-out access when needed.

Three sizes of SnapSafe Under Bed Safes offer the right-sized secure storage and feature a slide-out draw for easy access to the safe’s contents. All models have a slim profile for mounting below a bed’s frame. Large and XXL models are wide enough to hold most defense shotguns and carbine rifles. The medium safe is best suited to pistols or other valuables like jewelry, documents, data backup hard drives and extra ammunition.

The digital lock, on all Under Bed Safes, uses a user-programmable three-to-eight-digit access code. Safes open with a push-button keypad or key backup. The ability to set multiple safes with the same code means there’s only one number to remember; this feature ensures quick access in a stressful situation! Read more

Escort Shotgun’s Hard-Hitting SDX

Bentonville, AR – The Escort SD-X is part of Hatsan’s Versatile Tactical Shotgun series. Available in either 12 ga or .410 cal, this modern sporting shotgun is offered in all black or FDE Cerakote. A new gas piston design is mounted around the barrel itself, eliminating the secondary tube that is typically mounted below the barrel of a semi-automatic shotgun. This reduces the weight and bulk of the gun while minimizing felt recoil and muzzle rise. The synthetic polymer lower receiver features an alloy magazine well that ensures a smooth, durable product designed to last. Hatsan’s patented ThermoDefend forend absorbs and dissipates heat from the barrel while offering a comfortable, controlled grip on the weapon.

An active buffer tube absorbs recoil and sports a removable buttstock with elevation-adjustable cheek rest. The soft rubber ergonomic pistol grip is also removable and can be replaced with a wide variety of already available aftermarket options. The cocking bolt is reversible to suit a wide variety of shooter preferences. A carry-handle rear sight and fixed front sight come equipped on each gun, but the included flip-up sights can be installed for use with mounted optics. The forend also features 4 Picatinny rail locations to accommodate multiple accessory mounting options. Read more

Firearms Sales Slowing Somewhat

In the meantime, the NSSF’s latest NICS numbers indicate the slowing trend in gun sales might finally be arriving. But it’s definitely not as slow as might be indicated by the percentage (19.3) decrease. Even with that drop, the adjusted-National Instant Criminal Background Check System numbers have 1,427,264 operations. That’s only a drop compared to 2020- and is still sufficient to make October 2021 the second-highest October on record.

Or as the NSSF’s Mark Oliva explains, “The annual total so far of nearly 15.2 million background checks is putting 2021 on the path to being the second strongest year on record. It is currently behind only the record shattering 21 million background checks witnessed in 2020 and the 15.7 million background checks conducted during 2016.”

“This continued and sustained pace of background checks for the sale of a firearm, that is climbing in the closing months of 2021, shows the resiliency of the firearm manufacturers to meet this sustained, high-level demand and the personal interest by the American public to participate in the exercise of their God-given Second Amendment rights.”

HEVI-Shot Introduces New HEVI-Hammer Bismuth-Steel Upland Load

SWEET HOME, Oregon –– HEVI-Shot is proud to announce new HEVI-Hammer Upland loads. New for 2021, HEVI-Shot is offering 12- and 20- gauge options in shot size No. 5, or 7 shot to cover all the needs of hunters targeting large and medium upland game. HEVI-Hammer loads are manufactured using 15-percent high density bismuth (9.64 g/cc) and 85-percent precision steel. That small but mighty leading layer of bismuth over steel delivers nearly 50-percent more down range energy than pellets consisting of all steel at 40 yards.

“We know HEVI-Hammer Upland will help hunters achieve more success in the field,” said Scott Turner, HEVI-Shot’s Product Line Manager. “Upland game is such a beloved and traditional sport. The camaraderie of the hunting with others, watching sporting dogs do what they do best, and to enjoy hiking around, not having to sit in silence are all things upland hunters love about their sport. And we at HEVI-Shot love it too.”

Because HEVI-Hammer pellets feature a layer of 9.6 g/cc Bismuth, hunters can generally shoot one shot size smaller than steel for the same lethality, but with a much higher pellet count for increased probability of contact. New HEVI-Hammer loads are superior nontoxic shotshells for areas where lead is prohibited or for the environmentally conscious hunter. The bismuth-enhanced steel loads provided hunters with an option that had more velocity and more power than just standard steel shot yet is the same size as steel respectively. Read more
