Axeon Second Zero Opens Up Long Range Possibilities

FORT SMITH, Ark. –The Axeon® Second Zero® is a precision optical device that gives any rifle shooter an instant additional zero distance whether in hunting or tactical application. It works with all optical sights from rifle scopes to dot sights.

Shooters typically zero their rifles with one consistent load at a known distance. The Second Zero provides your optic either a 4.3 or 11.5 MOA adjustment just by flipping its prismatic lens in front of your rifle scope or red dot. For many popular rifle loads this equates to an additional zero of 330 or 530 yards. Read more

ACSS® AURORA™ RETICLE

  • The First Fully Metric ACSS Reticle
  • Bullet Drop Compensation in Meters for 5.56 NATO
  • Advanced Target Range Estimation
  • Moving Target Leads from 3mph to 40mph
  • Available Exclusively in the Trijicon ACOG 4x TA31 Scope
  • Dual Illuminated Reticle Available in Red or Green

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Primary Arms proudly announces ACSS® Aurora™, the first all-metric Advanced Combined Sighting System® reticle. Many shooters around the world, especially those with military and law enforcement experience, prefer the “base 10” metric system of centimeters and meters, and the milliradian (MIL or MRAD) unit of angular measurement. ACSS Aurora features bullet drop compensation in 50 meter increments all the way out to 800 meters, with wind hold dots incorporated at 100-meter intervals. Large ranging ladders to each side of the center chevron accurately range estimate even for targets that are partially obscured, and double as moving target leads for fast moving targets traveling up to 40 mph. Aurora takes the proven features that made ACSS famous and boosts them to the next level while maintaining an intuitive, uncluttered structure that is easy to understand and fast to use out in the field. ACSS Aurora is calibrated for military specification 5.56 NATO ammunition types M193, M855, and Mk 262. By fine tuning initial zero offset, Aurora’s bullet drop compensation can be brought into line with various barrel lengths and even the shooter’s altitude above sea level. Read more

Buck Harvest Up, Doe Harvest Down: QDMA’s 2019 Whitetail Report

ATHENS, GA – The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) Wednesday released its 11th annual Whitetail Report, a comprehensive update on the status of white-tailed deer including deer harvest trends through the 2017-18 season, the most recent hunting season with complete deer harvest data available from most whitetail states and Canadian provinces. Overall, the national buck harvest was on the rise while antlerless harvest fell, tipping the balance in favor of bucks for the first time in 18 years.

“The total antlered buck harvest of 2,879,000 in the United States was 2 percent more than the previous season, and 23 of 36 states increased their buck harvest,” said Kip Adams, QDMA Director of Conservation. “On the contrary, antlerless harvest was down slightly to 2,827,288. One state’s data did not arrive and was not included in this analysis, but it appears the national buck harvest exceeded the antlerless harvest in the 2017-18 season for the first time since 1998.”

Looking at the age structure of the buck harvest, yearlings (1½ years old) remained at record low harvest levels around 35 percent while harvest of 3½-year-old and older bucks remained high at 34 percent.

“It’s amazing to realize that one of every three antlered bucks shot in the U.S. is at least 3½ years old when it was one in every five only 15 years before,” said Adams.

Among other facts to be found in the new Whitetail Report: Read more
