Real Avid Level-Right PRO

Simple to Use Scope & Reticle Leveling Tool

Real Avid, the Leader in DIY for Guns®, introduces a simple to use, highly accurate system to ensure proper scope reticle alignment to a rifle’s bore axis. Called the Level-Right PRO, this system provides the essential reticle alignment needed for predictable point-of-impact when exceeding a rifle’s zeroed distance.

As experienced hunters and long-range competition shooters know, a scope’s reticle must be perfectly aligned with the rifle barrel bore’s axis to prevent left- or right-drift of the bullet’s point-of-impact when shooting past the zeroed distance. Scopes that are not properly aligned with the barrel will exhibit point-of-impact drift that increases with the shooting distance. In the past, cumbersome procedures and multiple bubble levels were required to achieve reticle alignment. Now, the revolutionary Level-Right PRO makes the process simple enough that anyone can install their scope the right way at their home workbench. Read more

Historic water levels affect Tawas Point State Park

Record-high water levels are taking a toll on infrastructure across the state as flooding and erosion continue to threaten shorelines, rivers and inland lakes. Michigan’s waterways face other associated challenges, too, including increased river flows, submerged docks and piers, swimming and boating hazards, and damage to wildlife habitat.

Several state parks and harbors are experiencing many of these issues. Tawas Point State Park – the popular destination along Lake Huron in Iosco County – has experienced unprecedented water levels, erosion and flooding over the last few years, as well as record-breaking rainfall last month.

As a result, Tawas Point State Park has closed or altered many amenities and services for the 2020 season: Read more

MEPRO Adjustable Day/Night Sights

Do you want to shoot your pistol accurately at greater distances than your fixed sights are capable of? Most handguns come from the factory with fixed sights. Point of aim and point of impact are close out to seven to ten yards and most likely will be fairly close out to 25 yards which is good for concealed carry. Several of the various competitive shooting disciplines require you to shoot 50 plus yards and on occasion out to 100 yards. The extended target distance demands point of aim and point of impact accuracy. In other words, you need to be precise as to where your bullet hits. Meprolight has you covered with adjustable—windage and elevation—self-illuminated day/night sights.

The highly fluorescent coating enhances visibility during the day and combined with tritium allows you to see your sights under low-light and night time conditions. Test results by marksmen and journeymen level shooters have shown an increase of over 85% in hit efficiency, using MEPROLIGHT adjustable self-illuminated sights. The combat proven self-illuminated day/night sights enable you to hit stationary or moving targets under low-light conditions with dramatically increased hit probability. The sights are rugged and built to function under all conditions which is why the IDF and militaries / law enforcement agencies worldwide use them. Read more

Virtual “Miles for Monarchs” Event Set for National Pollinator Week

Raising awareness/donations for expansion of national pollinator habitat

St. Paul, MN – Coinciding with National Pollinator Week, June 22-28, Pheasants Forever and the Monarch Joint Venture are hosting a virtual Miles for Monarchs nationwide event to raise awareness around the decline of native pollinators, while generating much-needed financial support to advance pollinator conservation work throughout the country.

Miles for Monarchs is an exciting way to support monarch butterflies and associated pollinator habitat through athletic activities. By way of running, walking, biking, hiking or paddling through monarch regions of the United States, individuals and families can help raise critical funds for monarch research, education, and habitat projects.

“Pollinator Week festivities may look a little different this year, but there is still so much work to carry forward and fun to be had in sharing your support for pollinators,” stated Wendy Caldwell, executive director of the Monarch Joint Venture. “Miles for Monarchs makes it easy to choose any type of exercise you love, see how far you can ‘migrate’ during pollinator week, and help tell the story of pollinators and your support for them throughout your network. Registering to be a part of Miles for Monarchs not only supports monarchs and their amazing annual migrations, it supports the many other pollinators, wildlife, and plants who share the same habitats.” Read more

Speer Gold Dot Carry Gun Ammunition for Compact Handguns

LEWISTON, Idaho –– Speer has taken its law-enforcement proven Gold Dot G2 hollow-point bullet and modified it to create a new product line called Gold Dot Carry Gun. This specialized ammunition is designed to provide superior feeding, ballistics and terminal performance through compact handguns. Speer’s new Carry Gun lineup includes 9mm 135-grain, .40 S&W 165-grain, and.45 Auto +P 200-grain loads. Shipments of this new product have begun to arrive at dealers.

“Most shooters believe that a defensive bullet—any defensive bullet—will perform well in typical self-defense situations. But a duty bullet that is designed and optimized for a full-sized duty handgun may not perform to the same standard when shot from a short-barreled carry or backup gun,” said Federal Handgun Ammunition Product Manager Chris Laack. “By taking the Gold Dot G2 bullet and customizing it to function in short-barreled defense pistols Speer has created a self-defense load truly optimized for the guns in which it will be carried.” Read more

Senate Passes Great American Outdoors Act

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Senate has passed the historic Great American Outdoors Act (S. 3422), which represents the single greatest commitment to increasing public access and advancing conservation in a lifetime, on a strong bipartisan vote of 73-25.

The Great American Outdoors Act will provide $9.5 billion over 5 years to address the crumbling infrastructure on America’s public lands and waters. While the National Park Service will receive $6.5 billion in funding, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) led a successful effort to secure the inclusion of $3 billion to repair and maintain public land infrastructure overseen by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Forest Service (USFS), which provides critically important recreational opportunities for America’s sportsmen and women.

“The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation applauds Senate passage of the Great American Outdoors Act. Today’s vote demonstrates the bipartisan support for advancing conservation and increasing access for hunters and anglers,” said CSF President Jeff Crane. “When signed into law, this bill will provide much needed support for public lands and waters and boost the already formidable outdoor economy. CSF extends our sincere thanks to the Senate Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) members that voted to support these priorities.” Read more
