All-new Barnett Predator™

TARPON SPRINGS, FL – Sitting atop a field of seven elite crossbows in Barnett’s expanded Carbonlite™ Series for 2018, the standout Predator™ is Barnett’s fastest and most powerful crossbow ever. It features a full carbon step-through riser, one-off ventilated composite stock and a machined aluminum flight track. The lightweight Predator™ combines a 187-pound draw weight with a deep, 16.25-inch power stroke to generate blistering speeds up to 430 feet per second and a whopping 156 foot-pounds of kinetic energy.

Speed and power are nothing without accuracy. Powerful compound crossbows tend to be nose-heavy and challenging to steady during the shot. Barnett addresses this in the thundering new Predator™ with their step-through Carbonlite™ riser and RUCS (Retractable Underarm Counter-Balance Support) System. Read more

Federal Court Enjoins Part of California Penal Code in SAF Case

BELLEVUE, WA – A federal district court has ruled that a section of the California Penal Code is unconstitutional and has issued an injunction against enforcement of a prohibition on the display of handguns or handgun placards that may be seen from the outside of a store in a case supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and two California gun rights groups.

The case involved Tracy Rifle and Pistol (TRAP), Ten Percent Firearms, Sacramento Black Rifle, Inc., and PRK Arms. SAF was joined in supporting the case by the Calguns Foundation and California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees. The lawsuit was filed some three years ago against then-Attorney General Kamala Harris and the chief of the state Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms. Harris has since been elected to the U.S. Senate.

The lawsuit asserted that Section 26820 of the California Penal Code violated the First Amendment rights of the gun shop operators because it stated, “No handgun or imitation handgun, or placard advertising the sale or other transfer thereof, shall be displayed in any part of the premises where it can readily be seen from the outside.” Read more

Preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species in Michigan

Many aquatic invasive species – non-native plants and animals that can disrupt the natural ecosystem, tourism and the economy – are easily spread by boaters and anglers who use their equipment in multiple bodies of water without properly cleaning it.

As part of efforts to manage aquatic invasive species, a habitat enhancement project at Fort Custer Recreation Area in Augusta, Michigan, recently kicked off. The DNR is working with Kieser & Associates, an environmental science and engineering firm in Kalamazoo, on a plan to enhance the recreation area’s habitat by managing aquatic invasive species in its lakes. The project is funded through the Natural Resource Damage Assessment as part of the settlement levied against Enbridge Energy in connection with the July 2010 oil release on Line 6B into the Kalamazoo River.

In addition to aquatic plant surveys, which have found invasive species in all of Fort Custer’s lakes, the three-year project will include several different treatments to control these species. This will help determine the best long-term, cost-effective options for invasive species management in the lakes. The project also involves a public outreach and educational component to help park visitors understand their role in preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species.

You can help by following these simple steps:

  • Clean boats, trailers and equipment.
  • Drain live wells, bilges and all water from boats.
  • Dry boats and equipment.
  • Dispose of unwanted bait in the trash.
