Millennium Introduces Buck Hut Shooting House

Pearl, MS (July 14, 2020) If you’ve spent much time hunting out of elevated shooting houses, you know that there always seems to be something missing. They’re not wide enough, tall enough, the windows are never “just right,” – one that works well for gun hunters isn’t configured for bowhunting. With Millennium Outdoors new-for-2020 Q200 Buck Hut Shooting House, the attention to detail is readily apparent the minute you climb aboard. Best of all, it is offered at a price that will make most hard-side, elevated blinds obsolete.

“We’ve built this shooting house the same way we build all of our treestands and accessories,” said Ed Welsh, President/CEO of Millennium Outdoors. “It’s designed by hunters, for hunters who are looking for a top-quality shooting house with features and details that make a big difference between success and failure.”

The Q200 Buck Hut itself is constructed from a heavy-duty, waterproof soft shell material that will last for many seasons. The roomy interior measures 7 feet, 4 inches wide x 4 feet deep x 7 feet tall – plenty big enough for both gun and bowhunters to shoot either sitting or standing. With an overall footprint of 11 feet, 9 inches by 8 feet, the interior easily allows for the use of Millennium’s 360 Revolution seats (not included). Read more

Arkansas: Two Visitors Find Large Diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park

One is the 12th- largest found there since 1972

(LITTLE ROCK, Ark.) — Confirmation of two large diamonds found at Crater of Diamonds State Park made for a busy week last week at the park, one of the only places in the world where the public can search for diamonds in their original volcanic source.

“This unique park is one of our state’s most popular destinations,” said Stacy Hurst, secretary of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism. “It’s always exciting for one of our guests to find a gem, and the staff is really great at working with them to confirm what they have found and hear each particular story of how they found it.”

Serendipity Diamond is 12th-largest found since 1972

Dr. Mindy Pomtree of Benton, Ark., was at the park in June and found her diamond near Beatty’s Hill when she spotted a glittering pebble on top of the ground. She put the stone in a zippered pocket and continued searching, not knowing what it was. “I kept feeling of my pocket throughout the day to make sure it was still there. I didn’t know if it was a diamond but thought it looked cool, and it was definitely shiny!” Read more

SAF: Paycheck Protection Funds to Anti-Gun Groups “An Outrage”

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation today said the recent revelation that the anti-gun-rights Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence took a federal Paycheck Protection Loan worth up to $1 million, while working to keep gun stores closed is an “outrageous exploitation of the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent people from exercising their constitutional rights.”

The Brady group reported received between $350,000 and $1 million on April 10. Likewise, the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence reportedly accepted a loan worth between $150,000 and $350,000 in April, to meet payroll for 16 employees.

“SAF had to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from contributors to file lawsuits during the coronavirus shutdowns to keep gun stores open as essential businesses so Americans could exercise their Second Amendment rights,” SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said. Read more

Federal Ammunition Introduces New Force X2 Personal Defense Shotgun Loads

ANOKA, Minnesota – New Personal Defense ammunition from Federal turns shotguns into the ultimate defensive platform. Force X2 copper-plated 00 FX2 buckshot pellets are specially engineered to split into two equal-size pieces on impact. Shipments of this new product have begun to arrive at dealers.

Force X2 utilizes nine splitting pellets to create up to 18 wound channels which improves the transfer of energy from the payload to the target and minimizes the potential for over-penetration reducing the risk to bystanders. Force X2 is also loaded for more manageable recoil, allowing the shooter to stay on target for faster follow-up shots and better accuracy in a self-defense situation.

“Federal’s splitting buckshot is the first significant change to buckshot ammo in over a century. The expert ammunition engineers at Federal decided it was time for improvements in buckshot that would help in some Personal Defense situations,” said Federal Ammunition Shotshell Product Manager Dan Compton. “This new self-defense shotgun load is designed for tremendous energy transfer for a wider and larger amount of terminal damage.”

Testing by Federal engineers conducted at the Federal Ammunition factory in Anoka, Minnesota showed patterns of 4 ½ inches at 7 yards and 14 inches at 20 yards using an improved cylinder choke. Patterns of 4 ¼ inches at 7 yards and 12 inches at 20 yards were achieved with a modified choke. Tests using 10-percent ballistic gel were also conducted by Federal engineers. The range of penetration depth of the segmented pellets in ballistic gel is 5 ¼ to 14 ½ inches with an average of 9 ½ inches. The average depth when pellets start segmenting is 4.5 inches after impact. Read more
