Hornady Ammunition

Grand Island, NE - -(AmmoLand.com)- Superformance ammunition is 100 to 200 fps FASTER than any conventional ammunition on the market today, and achieves this performance in EVERY gun, WITHOUT increases in felt recoil, muzzle blast, temperature sensitivity, fouling or loss of accuracy.

Innovative
Superformance is a cutting edge technological advancement in ammunition design that transcends convention and achieves the highest performance of any ammunition on the market today.

Specialized
Superformance uses ultra progressive propellants that take your favorite SST or GMX bullets to levels of performance that are simply unattainable with conventional propellants. In order to get more velocity in the past – shooters have used a brute force approach – large charge weights of a slow burning powder in a larger cartridge case. Ultimately this leads to more recoil and muzzle blast. The Superformance solution is an elegant approach that utilizes specialized powders…at NORMAL charge weights, that impart ALL useable energy to the bullet reducing the ROCKET NOZZLE EFFECT at the muzzle while still increasing velocity!

Versatile
Superformance provides increased performance, and is safe to use in ALL firearms, including semi-autos, lever gun and pump actions.

Increases in rifle performance, no increases in barrel wear and felt recoil, along with superior temperature stability are all realized with Superformance ammunition.

Increased speed, accuracy, and lethality – Superformance is a new breed of SUPER Premium ammunition that delivers it all!

It really IS… Rocket Science!

The New Standard By Which All Ammunition Will Be Judged Fast

InSight Technology

Palm Springs, FL – Ken Solinsky, president of Insight Technology Incorporated, was named the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2009 national winner in the Distribution and Manufacturing category. Now in its 23rd year, the awards recognize leaders and visionaries who demonstrate innovation, financial success and personal commitment as they create and build world-class businesses.

Solinsky was honored for growing the company into the largest developer and supplier of night vision and electro-optical systems to the US military. Solinsky was honored at the Entrepreneur Of The Year® gala in Palm Springs – the culminating event of the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies. Awards were given in nine additional categories. All Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® winners were selected by an independent panel of judges from approximately 400 regional award recipients.

Founded in 1988, privately held Insight Technology employs 1,200 people at three facilities in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Insight Technology has experienced steady growth through increased product offerings and expansion of its customer base.

An offer from Uncle Sam
When Ken Solinsky graduated from Clarkson College in 1971, the economy was ailing and job prospects were poor. Solinsky accepted a civilian position with the US Army in a program where he would be able to earn a masters’ degree in industrial engineering and then commit to work for the Army for three years. It was the start of a civil service career that lasted 15 years.

Assigned to Fort Belvoir in Virginia, he eventually worked for the Army’s Night Vision Lab. After a year as a Sloan Fellow at Stanford University, he was named program manager for night vision devices, one of the few civilians to hold such a position.

Grabbing the gold ring
After 15 years with the Army, Solinsky had reached a crossroads: spend the rest of his career comfortably working in civil service or take a risk and try something new. He and his wife, Grace, bet their life savings on his dream business. Together, they grew Insight Technology into a world leader in military technology.

To meet Insight Technology’s exacting product standards and to ensure the availability of supply sources, Solinsky took the initiative of acquiring and forming several companies to consistently supply needed optical glass and precision plastic Optics.

Insight Technology’s products are used by all branches of the U.S. military, exported to friendly nations around the world and used by federal, state and local law enforcement officers.

Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2009 national finalists in Distribution and Manufacturing category

In addition to Solinsky, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® national finalists in the Distribution and Manufacturing category are:

• David A. Smith, chairman and CEO of PSS World Medical (NASDAQ: PSSI) of Jacksonville, Florida, a national distributor of medical products to physicians and elder care providers.
• David J. Meyer, CEO of Titan Machinery (NASDAQ: TITN) in Fargo, North Dakota, which owns and operates one of the largest networks of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in North America.
• Richard C. Ill, president and CEO of Pennsylvania-based Triumph Group Inc. (NYSE:TGI), a company that designs, engineers, manufactures, repairs and overhauls aircraft components and accessories.

Overall Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2009 National Winner

• Tom Adams, president and CEO of Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE: RST), was named the Overall Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2009 national winner.

About Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur Of The Year®

Insight Technology Named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year

RAP4 T68 Spitfire Training Rifle

Real Action Paintball

San Jose, CA --(AmmoLand.com)-The paintball industry is buzzing about the concept of dual-source paintball feeding, which is a reality in the T68 SplitFire family of markers! This RAP4 innovation allows players to carry two different types of paintballs onboard simultaneously, and effortlessly switch back and forth between them to satisfy mission and role playing requirements.

The T68 SplitFire accepts paint from a detachable, spring-fed magazine…and any size hopper. That gives you the ability to carry mission-specific paint and general event paint, so you can play two different roles on the field or…get yourself into position when backup is too far away.

Each T68 SplitFire represents years of research and innovation, and epitomizes the very best materials, manufacture, and design available. The T68 SplitFire does not rely on batteries; rather, its purely mechanical function enables it to operate in all weather and in a temperature range wider than you care to challenge. The CO2 or compressed air source is hidden onboard, inside the multi-position collapsible stock. You can easily attach a full size tank or remote line setup if you choose. The standard m1913 tactical rails accept a host of RAP4 and military-style accessories.

Then there’s that dual-feed system, unique to the T68 SplitFire family of markers. It’s such a revolution for law enforcement training and tactical use that the T68 SplitFire earned this year’s “Law Enforcement Technology Innovation Award.” Police appreciate being able to switch between two different rounds for cost effective training, and personal protection in less-lethal use-of-force scenarios…

Just like you can switch from event paint to mission paint in your tactical scenarios this weekend.

The T68 SplitFire, and all the accessories you could ever need, are available from Real Action Paintball—As Real as it Gets!

About:
RAP4 is recognized as a leader in compressed air-powered marking technology, with patented innovations for military and law enforcement tools and industry-leading paintball sport equipment. Headquartered in San Jose, California, RAP4 has distributors across America and around the world. Trained staff members are available by phone or in person for consultations, and to troubleshoot or train your personnel on use of their equipment. visit www.rap4lesslethal.com

Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

MISSOULA, Mont.—-(AmmoLand.com)- If you’re a screamer, bugler, grunter or chuckler, you may have what it takes to win the Super Bowl of elk calling, March 4-7, 2010, in Reno, Nev.

Competition is open to the public in the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation/Leupold 2010 World Elk Calling Championships. The event will be held as part of the annual RMEF Elk Camp & Hunting, Fishing and Outdoor Expo at the Reno/Sparks Convention Center.

Featured in recent years by The New York Times and CBS Sunday Morning, the competition will return to Reno following a 2009 stint in Fort Worth, Texas.

“We’re searching for the world’s best elk callers and we think Reno may be the place to find them,” said Beth Shipley, RMEF special events director, who has been involved with the World Elk Calling Championships for 15 years. “No experience is necessary to enter and compete in the prelims, although many serious callers have already qualified for the finals by competing in regional competitions held around the country over the past several months. So, if you’re thinking of entering, start practicing now!”

An RMEF video featuring the natural elk sounds that competitors will be asked to mimic is at www.rmef.org/NewsandMedia/Videos/BullElkSounds.htm.

Competitors must be registered by 5:00 p.m. on Thurs., March 4. Registration forms and rules are available at www.rmef.org.

Entry fees are $10 for Pee Wee (age 10 and under) and Youth (age 11-17) divisions, $35 for Natural Voice (no calling devices allowed), Women’s and Men’s, and $100 for Professional (sponsored competitors). Entry fees also provide contest participants with admission to the expo.

Cash and prizes will be awarded for first- through third-place in all six divisions.

Preliminary rounds of competition begin Fri., March 6, at 9:00 a.m. Finals begin Sat., March 7, at 9:00 a.m., followed by awards and crowning of 2010 world champions.

Judges include naturalists, hunters and former elk calling champions.

A just-for-fun team competition also will be held. Up to three callers can work together in a comedy skit simulating interactions between bulls, cows and calves. Winners are chosen by the audience. There is no registration fee for the team event.

Spectator seating for the elk calling championships is included with daily admission to the expo: $12 per person or $25 per family, and free for kids 5 and under.

Along with the RMEF/Leupold 2010 World Elk Calling Championships, the expo will fill the Reno/Sparks Convention Center with elk hunting seminars, displays of record elk, kids’ activities, auctions and an exhibit hall filled with art, gear, firearms and outfitted hunting and fishing opportunities. It’s all a showcase and fundraiser for one of the nation’s premier conservation organizations. The Elk Foundation recently topped 5.6 million acres of elk habitat conserved or enhanced.

Show hours: Thurs., March 4, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Fri., March 5, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Sat., March 6, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and Sun., March 7, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:

RMEF is leading an elk country initiative that has conserved or enhanced habitat on over 5.6 million acres—a land area equivalent to a swath three miles wide and stretching along the entire Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico. RMEF also works to open, secure and improve public access for hunting, fishing and other recreation. Get involved at www.rmef.org or 800-CALL ELK.

Calling All Screamers: Enter the Super Bowl of Elk Calling

National Shooting Sports Foundation

NEWTOWN, Conn. –-(AmmoLand.com)- New Video Educates Public About the Firearms Industry.

“For more than 200 years a unique industry in America has made products that have been part of our country’s great tradition of freedom, self-reliance and enjoyment of the outdoors.”

So begins a new video produced by the National Shooting Sports Foundation called “Lock, Stock and Barrel: Understanding the Firearms Industry” and that is now available as a DVD free of charge or to view online at www.nssf.org.

Designed to educate anyone who wants to know more about the history, operation and regulation of the firearms industry, the video is particularly helpful to those who hold misconceptions about the industry.

“It’s important that an industry that produces a product — firearms — that is at times a contentious subject in modern society should be understood and appreciated for the many positive contributions it has made for centuries,” said NSSF President Steve Sanetti.

“I believe that people who watch this video, perhaps at the local Rotary Club meeting or library, whether they own firearms or not, will come away with a new-found appreciation of our great industry.”

Potential audiences for the video are the general public, elected officials, teachers and students, local service groups and the media. Members of NSSF are encouraged to show the video to their employees and in their communities to promote a better understanding of the firearms industry.

“Lock, Stock and Barrel: Understanding the Firearms Industry” is approximately 15 minutes long. Individual or multiple copies of the DVD are available at www.nssf.org/industryvideo.

About NSSF
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of more than 4,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers.

Lock, Stock and Barrel Understanding the Firearms Industry

BowTech Archery

Eugene, OR --(AmmoLand.com)- For their 10th model year anniversary, BowTech set out to design the most advanced bow ever produced.

The result of this focus was the development of three key technologies, all featured on the new BowTech Destroyer.

The OverDrive Binary™ synchronized dual cam system is a remarkable advancement over the original Binary™ system. Both designs offer symmetrical cams that are ’slaved’ to one another to produce perfect synchronization and eliminate nock travel. The original Binary™ system acheived synchronization by using a cable let-out groove mounted on each cam. The OverDrive™ Binary replaces the let-out groove with a pair of eccentric posts mounted on both ends of the cam axle.

This cam ‘drive train’ turns when the cam turns. The eccentric posts let cable out as the bow is drawn, providing the same, proven synchronization that Binary™ cams are known for, while allowing the attachment of a split buss cable to either end of the cam axle to add stability and balance. The split buss system is 100% tunable. Cam lean and oscillation after the shot are drastically reduced, allowing perfect arrow flight with virtually any setup. The OverDrive Binary™ doesn’t stop there. The ultra light weight and exceptional balance of the cam helps achieve a near silent, shock free shooting experience.

HardCore Limbs™ is a BowTech innovation that sets a new standard for quality in the archery industry. Layers of high-strength fiberglass are laminated to a stiff, light carbon core. On conventional limbs, most of the bow’s energy is stored near the outside of the limb, while the core of the limb stores minimal energy and serves as little more than a spacer between limb faces. HardCore Limbs put the core to work, storing energy not only near the surfaces, but inside the limb. By sharing the workload, stress is reduced, producing a limb with exceptional durability. As an added bonus, the carbon core is very lightweight, improving the response of the limb, thereby reducing shock, vibration and noise and helping to drive efficiency into new territory. This contributes directly to the shootable speed and performance of the bow.

The new FLX-Guard™ cable containment system for 2010 addresses the tuning issues associated with the extreme cable tension and inflexible cable guards found on today’s bows.

Core to this new technology is its flexibility. As the bow is drawn, the FLX-Guard responds by flexing inward, absorbing much of the cable guard torque that would have been transferred to the riser. The result is substantial reduction in lateral nock travel, yielding a real advancement in tune-ability and forgiveness. Along with the two Destroyer models, the FLX-Guard will also be featured on the AdmiralFLX and SentinelFLX.

BowTech manufactures and distributes the world’s finest compound bows and archery equipment. Founded in 1999, BowTech’s corporate offices and manufacturing facilities are located in Eugene, Oregon.

BowTech Introduces Three Key Bow Design Technologies

BowTech Archery

Eugene, OR --(AmmoLand.com)- For their 10th Model Year anniversary, BowTech is pleased to introduce their most advanced bow ever produced. It’s called the Destroyer for a reason.

“From concept, this bow was designed to be easy to draw, quiet, accurate and forgiving. As it turns out, the bow happens to be fast,” Craig Yehle, Principle Designer explains, “We believe it is important for our flagship offering not be construed as a speed bow, but as a truly exceptional all around offering. We believe we have achieved this.”

Bowtech Destroyer 350 and Destroyer 340 Compound Bows

The Destroyer is offered in two models; Destroyer 350 and Destroyer 340. Both are accurate, shock-free, easy to draw and fast…very fast. While most archers have to trade shootability for speed, the Destroyer delivers both. This balance is accomplished using three new technologies; OverDrive Binary™, HardCore Limbs™ and FLX-Guard™.

OverDrive Binary™ synchronized dual cam system gives the perfect synchronization of a Binary while allowing split buss attachment to both cams for best-in-class cam stability and tune-ability. Premium alloy composition allows for a strong, lightweight design which diminishes noise and vibration.

The high modulus carbon core of the HardCore Limbs™ puts the core to work, storing energy not only near the surfaces, but inside the limb. Distributing stress through the limbs increases overall limb response, efficiency and durability.

The new FLX-Guard™ cable containment system addresses the tuning affects of extreme cable tension and inflexible cable guards found on today’s bows. As the bow is drawn, it flexes inward, isolating the riser from unwanted cable guard torque.

The Destroyer 350 and Destroyer 340 come standard in Realtree Hardwoods HD®. Alternate riser finishes include BlackOps, APG HD, Mossy Oak® Infinity™, OPTIFADE™ Open Country or Forest and Next FLX™. Any alternate finish will have black limbs. All BowTech bows are protected with an InVelvet™ top coat.

NEWTOWN, Conn. –-(AmmoLand.com)-  Over the past year, the Don’t Lie for the Other Guy program — jointly developed by ATF and the National Shooting Sports Foundation — has been rolled out in several areas along the southwest border of the United States.

The campaign completed its fifth launch of the year last week in San Diego and continues to demonstrate the industry’s strong stance against illegal straw purchases of firearms.

The goal of the program is twofold: to warn residents and visitors about the severe penalties associated with illegally purchasing a firearm, and to educate federally licensed firearms retailers on how to better detect and deter potential straw purchasers.

“NSSF has for nearly a decade partnered with ATF and the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Justice Programs (OJP) on the Don’t Lie program. This partnership is a great example of coordination and tangible success on the federal, state and local levels and with federally licensed firearms retailers throughout the country,” said NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane.

Campaign To Prevent Illegal Firearm Purchases Making Impact

Winchester Dual Bond Revolutionizes Bullet Design

Winchester Ammunition

East Alton, IL --(AmmoLand.com)- The new Winchester® Supreme Elite® Dual Bond™ will redefine bullet technology and innovation in 2009. This groundbreaking technology will be introduced for big bore handgun hunting, as well as the shotgun slug product lines.

“Offering the Dual Bond bullet design as both a shotgun sabot slug and big bore handgun bullet sets a new standard in bullet technology,” said Glen Weeks, Winchester Ammunition Centerfire Product Manager. “No other product on the market matches its design or performance characteristics”. Dual Bond is clearly one of the most innovative bullet designs in the history of Winchester.”

The ‘bullet within a bullet’ design results in 12 segments which deliver dramatic stopping power and massive tissue damage. The Supreme Elite Dual Bond is suitable for whitetail deer to large dangerous game, such as brown bear.

Why the dual jacket?
The outer jacket is designed for rapid and maximum upset and opens up to six dramatic segments. The inner jacket works with the bonded lead core and forms six additional segments at a controlled rate resulting in a mushroom that is 1.5 times larger than the original bullet diameter.

The heavy outer jacket is mechanically bonded to the inner bullet. The inner bullet utilizes a proprietary bonding process which welds the lead core to a second jacket which results in a design that provides for a combination of knockdown power, solid penetration and significant tissue damage while retaining nearly 100% of the original weight.

The Supreme Elite Dual Bond offers a large hollow point cavity, which provides consistent upsets at a variety of ranges and impact velocities. Combined, this patented technology results in lethal energy transfer on impact.

Big-Bore Handgun Hunting Offerings:
Symbol Line Grain
S454DB 454 Casull 260g DJHP
S460SWDB 460 S&W 260g DJHP
S500SWDB 500 S&W 375g DJHP

Shotgun Sabot Slug Offerings:

SSDB123 12 ga. 375g DJHP
SSDB20 20 ga. 260g DJHP
SSDB203 20 ga. 260g DJHP
DJHP = dual jacketed hollow point

Virginia – -(AmmoLand.com)- While doing some initial Rally setup, we learned that some anti- gunners had tried to pass some of their lies, er, literature out to a few stores and had been run off by mall management and security. The Innsbrook Shoppes manager, Sidney Gunst, made it clear that the only literature that would be handed out on his property was that offered by citizens carrying guns.

The rally was to protest Congressman Eric Cantor holding the “Republican Roundup” at a gun-free zone each year. That is especially irksome as Cantor is well aware that there are other nearby venues that are gun-friendly. Well before last year’s Roundup, several Republican gun owners even offered donations for Cantor (via Linwood Cobb) to move the event to a gun-friendly venue, but that offer was ignored.

The rally started with an orientation and distribution of a rally flyer with maps and a schedule of events.

After the orientation, most of the crowd, including 25 Executive members in green safety vests holding two-way radios, moved to the street that leads into the SnagAJob Pavilion, where the Roundup was to be held and which is owned by anti-gun Highwood Properties.

Members lined both sides of the street, holding up signs that read “Guns Save Lives,” “Vote Cantor Out,” “Cantor Abandoned Gun Owners,” “Ban My Gun, Lose My Vote” and so forth.

As attendees of the Roundup walked by the VCDL members, many accepted and wore VCDL’s “Guns Save Lives” sticker. That sea of orange stickers should also have gotten Congressman Cantor’s attention.

Many people honked their horns in support of VCDL and gave the “thumbs up” on their way into the Roundup. Dennis and I ran into one typical anti-gun coward, who didn’t say a word as his car stopped at a stop sign next to us. Instead as soon as he had driven about 50 feet past us, rolled down his window and yell back “guns don’t save lives!” and then sped off.

As promised, George Washington, was there to support us and did a great job in talking to gun owners and educating them on the Constitution and our rights. One person said that they had learned more from President Washington during the few minutes they spent speaking to the President, than they had learned in all their extensive schooling. Amen to that.

Ever resourceful member Ed Levine showed up with his vehicle plastered with round orange magnetic “Guns Save Lives” signs and even his black lab sported an orange bandana adorned with a “Gun Save Lives” button.

Jim Snyder’s wife brought their miniature pinscher, who was wearing a doggie-coat with “Guns Save Lives” stickers on it.

Just about the time that Linwood Cobb, who is the chairman of the Republican 7th District, started to speak at the Roundup a plane flew overhead trailing two large banners that said “Guns Save Lives” and “Cantor Sells Out.”

VCDL members broke out in loud applause and laughter at the sight!

The plane continued to circle the Roundup for for about 45 minutes with everyone fighting back laughter for quite a while. VCDL also had a hot-air balloon with “Guns Save Lives” on the sides, but it was too windy for it to launch. There are some great photos of the balloon, though, in some of the links later in this alert. (Don’t worry, you will get a chance to see the balloon upfront and personal in the future.)

We had a member inside the Roundup who was keeping me posted on what was going on. He estimated that there were about 500 people at the rally including staff and government agents, so our 325 was a very significant number.

He also let me hear Linwood Cobb’s comments to the Roundup, which due to the VCDL members lining the street and our airplane flying overhead, forced Lynwood to talk about why the event was being protested.

What was really funny was that Cobb said on stage that Eric Cantor was a strong supporter of the Second Amendment as he and Cantor were standing in a GUN-FREE ZONE surrounded by government agents with GUNS. That is just the opposite of what the Second Amendment is all about.

Cantor, Cobb and those who clapped at that statement completely missed the irony.

Cobb tries to blame everything on the SnagAJob Pavilion’s anti-gun policy. Mr. Cobb, private property owners can do as they like. It is you and Congressman Cantor that are intentionally choosing that venue when you have other choices. No, Eric Cantor and you are to blame for the policy in the end. VCDL respects private property rights and did not interfere in any way with access to the event. VCDL is disappointed in Highwoods anti-gun policy and simply wants Republicans to stop spending their publicly donated funds to support this anti- freedom business.

You can hear Cobb’s excuses in this video. Notice that Senator Cuccinelli wasn’t clapping when Linwood Cobb announced that the Roundup is going to be held at Innsbrook AGAIN next year (more on that comment later):

The police were very impressed with VCDL’s coordination, professionalism, and candidness with them. They said that had never had this level of cooperation and coordination with such an event before.

They really liked that if there was any kind of a problem with our members (such as standing in the street), we would fix it ourselves without the police ever having to get directly involved.

EM Ted Deeds is with the Law Enforcement Alliance of America (LEAA). When Ted volunteer for the Freedom Rally I immediately realized that he would be the perfect liaison with the police and he did a great job!

George Washington addressed the crowd in his usual eloquent fashion (although George claims to not be as good a public speaker as some of the other Founding Fathers).

Doc Thompon, a talk show personality on WRVA in Richmond, was the keynote speaker. He asked the poignant question, “why would ANYONE not support the Second Amendment?” and took the restrictions on the Second Amendment and applied them to the First Amendment to show how absurd they really are.

Open Carriers Protest Virginia Republican Meeting At Anti-Gun Venue

Washington. DC --(AmmoLand.com)-Global warming alarmists want Americans to believe that humans are killing the planet. But Not Evil Just Wrong, a new documentary by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, proves that the only threats to America (and the rest of the world) are the flawed science and sky-is-falling rhetoric of Al Gore and his allies in environmental extremism.

The film drives home the realities of that extremism. “Turn off your lights. Turn off your heat when you get cold. Turn off your air when you get hot,” one man on the street says. “And then think about that.”

Not Evil Just Wrong warns Americans that their jobs, modest lifestyles and dreams for their children are at stake. Industries that rely on fossil fuels will be crippled if the government imposes job-killing regulations on an economy already mired in recession. Small towns in the heartland, like Vevay, Ind., will become bastions of unemployment and poverty. Breadwinners like Tim McElhany in Vevay will lose their jobs — and will have to start borrowing money again just to buy bread for their families.

The damage that would be wrought is unjustified by the science. Not Evil Just Wrong exposes the deceptions that experts, politicians, educators and the media have been force-feeding the public for years. Man-made pollution is not melting the polar icecaps. The ocean will not rise 20 feet in a flash. And the only polar bears dying because of man are the ones who try to eat men.

McAleer and McElhinney debunk what for a time was the environmental movement’s most powerful weapon of disinformation, the infamous “hockey stick” graph that attributed a supposedly unique burst of warming in the 20th century to humans. They also shatter the myth that the hottest years in the United States were 1998 and 2006. The hottest year was 1934, and the hottest decade was the 1930s — when there were half as many people and no SUVs or jumbo jets.

But environmentalists like actor Ed Begley Jr. and Leo Murray of Plane Stupid, who appear in the film, won’t tell you that. Instead, Begley sheds phony tears for ex-cons who are offered “green” jobs, and Murray decries air travel as the modern world’s worst indulgence. Their hysterical claims have fooled many people into believing that carbon dioxide, an element that is essential to life, is poison.

Organizations like Greenpeace, whose excesses are roundly condemned in Not Evil Just Wrong by founding member Patrick Moore, persistently push the same kind of propaganda that prompted world leaders to ban DDT. They believed environmentalist Rachel Carson’s doomsday scenarios about the mosquito-killing chemical, and millions of children in the Third World may have been infected by malaria and died as a result.

The documentary notes that the World Health Organization lifted its ban on DDT in 2006, but Al Gore and his allies will not accept that verdict any more than they will accept the science that discounts theories about global warming. They are determined to blame humans for everything.

People all across the world will be watching Not Evil Just Wrong starting 8pm ET.

Eight “Must Know” Treestand Safety Tips

Outdoor Alabama

Alabama --(AmmoLand.com)-Hunting is easily one of the safest outdoor recreational activities.

However, each season accidents happen that could have been easily avoided.

Hunters are encouraged to follow a few simple treestand safety precautions in order to have a safe and hopefully successful season.

Below are eight treestand safety tips that will keep you hunting safely.

1. Use a full body harness from the time you leave the ground until you come back down.
2. Choose a straight, healthy tree in which to place the stand.
3. Inspect your treestand at the beginning of the season and before each use.
4. Make sure your stand is fastened to the tree securely and that the tree is the right size.
5. Test your treestand slightly off the ground to make sure it is safe.
6. Unload your gun prior to pulling it up with a strong cord or rope.
7. Avoid excessive movement that could cause you to lose your balance.
8. Clear away obstructive branches before shooting from a stand.
9. The hunting accident rate has been improving over past decades. In fact, the past few hunting seasons have been the safest on record. Improved hunter awareness coupled with mandatory hunter education has made a safe activity even safer.

Modern Sporting Rifles — based on the AR-15 platform — Are Widely Owned by Hunters and Target Shooters and Are Not ‘Assault Weapons’

CMMG MOD4 SA Piston Ar15 Rifle .223/5.56

National Shooting Sports Foundation

NEWTOWN, Conn. –-(AmmoLand.com)- The National Shooting Sports Foundation has launched a national media campaign designed to correct widespread misperceptions among gun owners and non-gun owners about AR-15-style rifles, also known as modern sporting rifles.

“The best-selling rifles in America today are those based on the AR-15 platform — they are today’s modern sporting rifles — yet they remain America’s most misunderstood firearm because of confusion caused by their cosmetic features,” said Steve Sanetti, president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, trade association for the firearms industry.

Sanetti said the confusion is understandable because a modern sporting rifle looks like a military firearm, like an M-16, for example. “We want people to understand that these civilian sporting rifles function just like many other sporting rifles, as semi-automatics, firing only one round with each pull of the trigger, and are widely used by hunters and target shooters and for home protection. They are not ‘evil’ or ‘bad’ firearms, as some would have you think,” Sanetti emphasized.

The media campaign illustrates how for more than 100 years rifles used by the military that possess battlefield requirements of accuracy, ruggedness and reliability became, understandably, popular civilian sporting rifles. This military-to-civilian evolution can be seen in some of the most famous rifle models of all time, including the 1903 Springfield bolt-action rifle of World War I, the Garand semi-automatic rifle of World War II and the M-16 rifle of the Vietnam era. In the case of the M-16, its civilian version, the AR-15, was modified so that it functioned only as a semi-automatic.

Today’s AR-15-style modern sporting rifles are just another step in the evolution of the tools hunters and target shooters use to enjoy their activities. These rifles may not look like current hunting rifles, but remember, your current hunting rifle probably doesn’t look much like your grandfather’s rifle either.

Sanetti emphasized that these AR-15-platform sporting rifles are not “assault weapons,” as they are frequently and incorrectly labeled by organizations, media and elected officials who would like to ban them. “An assault weapon is fully automatic — a machine gun — while rifles based on the AR-15 platform are semi-automatic,” said Sanetti. “Civilian ownership of fully automatic firearms has been severely restricted since 1934.”

The multi-pronged campaign will use print, video and Web-based components to reach as wide an audience as possible, with emphasis placed on educating sportsmen whose preference for traditional-looking firearms can lead them to misunderstand AR-15-platform rifles and to even describe them using terms such as “assault weapon,” which inadvertently lends support to those wanting to ban these rifles.

The campaign’s educational ads have been placed in major firearm and sporting magazines such as Field & Stream and Outdoor Life and on outdoor cable television networks. The campaign’s materials can also be seen on a dedicated Web site, which expands the educational messages delivered in the media campaign to promote an even better understanding of how civilian sporting rifles have evolved from military rifles over time.

The Web site offers video, a timeline of military-to-civilian rifle evolution plus interactive features that identify the components and functionality of modern sporting rifles. There is also a facts section of the site, where gun owners can arm themselves with facts to correct individuals, media and organizations who are misinformed about these rifles.

“We ask everyone who values their gun ownership rights to correct misunderstandings about the use and operation of these modern sporting rifles,” said Sanetti. “If we let misinformation go unchecked, we only assist those who would ban ownership of these and other types of semi-automatic firearms, like your duck-hunting shotgun. We can’t let that happen.”

NSSF to Educate America About AR15 Rifles

CROSMAN CH2009 Sporter Class Air Rifle

Crosman

ROCHESTER, New York –-(AmmoLand.com)- Crosman is proud to introduce the latest and greatest in competition airguns; the all new Challenger PCP.

This sporter class air rifle was recently reviewed by the National Three-Position Air Rifle Council’s committee and was approved as legal for use in sporter class air rifle competition.

This gun is getting rave reviews from the shooting community. Here is just one of the comments we have received…

“This is by far the best looking Sporter air rifle I’ve ever seen! I’m glad to see that someone in the shooting industry finally designed a Sporter that allows the shooter to make the necessary adjustments to their particular shape and stature. This will also greatly enhance the shooter’s transition from Sporter to Precision.” – Major Ron Wigger, Head Rifle Coach, U.S. Military Academy, West Point

Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting is one of the fastest growing and most popular forms of shooting sports competition for young shooters and shooting groups. Two different Three-Position Air Rifle events are available.

Precision Air Rifle, which is modeled after the Olympic-style shooting event, is an event that allows for the use of specialized equipment. It can be cost prohibitive so it usually attracts the veteran shooters. Designed for new shooters or those who want to compete with a more modest investment in equipment, is the Sporter Class event. In both types of shooting events, competitors fire at targets 10 meters away, in three different shooting positions; offhand, kneeling, and prone.

Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting provides young shooters with competitive shooting sports opportunities offered on a wide variety of easily accessible or easily constructed ranges. The equipment needed is commonly available at affordable costs and many groups like Junior ROTC, 4-H, NRA have programs for the Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting sport.

Rochester, N.Y.-based Crosman Corporation is an international designer, manufacturer and marketer of Crosman® and Benjamin® airguns, Crosman Archery products, CenterPoint® Precision Optics, and Game Face™ Airsoft products.

Hornady Ammunition Receives Three Telly Awards

Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund

South Carolina --(AmmoLand.com)- Even if you missed the President’s speech to the Congress on health care last week, you certainly have seen the news following the event.

Most notable was the fact that pro-gun congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina — rated “A” by GOA — decided to call out the President because of his… well, shall we say… his failure to communicate truthfully.

No matter what you think about the time and place Wilson chose to tell President Obama “You lie,” the facts are on Joe Wilson’s side.

The President lied repeatedly throughout his speech. Even the Associated Press — hardly a bastion of conservatism — noted that the President failed to accurately articulate the truth in several instances.

Wilson’s opponent, however, is trying to use the national attention on Wilson to raise money for his campaign. In fact, Wilson’s opponent says he raised over $1 million in the first 48 hours following the speech. Contribute to Joe

It’s up to the pro-gun community to respond in kind and help Wilson through this difficult time. But first, who is Rep. Joe Wilson and what has he done for gun owners?

Not only has he consistently supported the Second Amendment with his votes, he has also cosponsored needed gun rights legislation. This year, he has cosponsored two reciprocity bills in the House — including the GOA-supported HR 1620, which protects Vermont-style carry — plus a bill that removes certain restrictions on the interstate sale of firearms.

In previous years, Wilson was the chief sponsor of the Citizen’s Self-Defense Act, a bill that would protect individuals who successfully defend themselves or others from violent attack, only to find themselves in the clutches of anti-gun prosecutors.

And when a conference committee watered down GOA’s language to arm airline pilots following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Rep. Wilson stepped up to the plate. He successfully pushed through legislation to allow all commercial pilots (not just passenger pilots) to carry guns. Further, when TSA bureaucrats dragged their feet once armed pilots became the law of the land, Wilson authored yet another bill that streamlined the certification process.

Here’s the bottom line:
Joe Wilson couldn’t stand listening to the President dish out lie after lie. He says his emotions got the best of him, and he yelled “You lie” in the midst of a presidential address. He regrets the time and place he did it… but he is not sorry for what he said.

He was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. He did what millions of Americans — many people like you — would have loved to do. How many of us would like the chance to tell the President, to his face, to stop lying?

It’s ironic. The President stood there on national television and said his opponents were lying. But when Joe Wilson countered that it was the President who was, in fact, lying… it was Wilson who came under attack from the liberal media.

That’s why we need to stand with Rep. Joe Wilson. If we lose a pro-gun stalwart because of his willingness to call out the President on his lies, it will be a crying shame.

You can contribute to the Wilson campaign by going online at https://www.completecampaigns.com/public.asp?name=Wilson&page=2

Even if it is a contribution of solidarity — only $5 or $10 — it will be worth it. But if you can afford more, please do so.

Wilson is in for a tough race because the left-wing, anti-gun movement smells blood and they will pour even more money into this race.

Representative Wilson deserves all the help we can give. Let him know that gun owners are standing with him!

My gun safe has the room for my pistols it just was not designed to safely and efficiently store pistols and revolvers.  I also need quick access to my everyday CCW weapon and a secure protected location for my more valuable revolvers and semi autos.

SHOT Show 2010 – Firearms Industry Can’t Miss This

ATK

MINNEAPOLIS, MN --(AmmoLand.com)- Alliant Techsystems (NYSE: ATK), developer of the combat-proven 30/40mm Mk44 Bushmaster cannon system, has enhanced the system’s effectiveness and performance to accommodate integration into various ground combat vehicles, including the United Kingdom’s Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

The enhanced cannon offers various vehicle mount and feed configurations, with either the traditional bayonet mount with a single recoil damper and linked feeder, or with a bespoke integral mount with dual recoil dampers and linkless feeder. The linkless feed system is driven from the cannon’s integral electric motor and feeder gearing, eliminating the need for a separate magazine drive motor and associated burden on the vehicles’ electrical system.

The enhanced cannon utilizes a modified 30mm Mk44 with additional recoil stroke capacity that reduces recoil loads associated with 40mm x 180mm (”Super 40″) ammunition. The cannon can be easily upgraded to fire Super 40 ammunition with simple component changes by the end user.

Technical maturity of Super 40 ammunition was proven on the Mk44 during the U.S. Army’s Advanced Light Armament for Combat Vehicles (ALACV) program, initiated to evaluate increased lethality in medium-caliber cannons. The ALACV program included live-fire tests of Target Practice-Tracer (TP-T), Programmable Airbust Munition (PABM), and Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot – Tracer (APFSDS-T) rounds and demonstrated a technology readiness level six (TRL-6) in 2003. Subsequent development of the “Super 40″ system (cannon and ammunition) resulted in a common 180mm case design for both the full and sub-caliber rounds. The overall round design significantly improves system performance, accuracy, and reduced barrel wear.

As with previous Mk44 cannons, the enhanced cannon system is compatible with ATK’s PABM, and offers the user increased tactical flexibility and greater lethality as compared to conventional high-explosive ammunition.

ATK has applied its integrated weapon systems capability to develop the most cost effective, compact and lightweight 40mm cannon system available today. A live fire demonstration of the Super 40 system is planned by December 2009.

About:
ATK is a premier aerospace and defense company with more than 18,000 employees in 22 states, Puerto Rico and internationally, and revenues of approximately $4.8 billion. News and information can be found on the Internet at www.atk.com.

Total NICS Background Checks Report

Federal Bureau of Investigation

Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,074,757 checks in August 2009, a 12.3 percent increase from the 956,872 reported in August 2008.

So far that is roughly 9,076,205 gun bought this year! The total is probably more as NICS background checks may cover the purchase of more than one gun at a time.

This latest jump in background checks show that Americans are solidly in-favor of keeping firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens and clearly shows that proponents claiming the USA wants more gun control are blatantly wrong.

Gun Owners Say No to Gun Conrtol with their Wallets
The increased trend of Americans buying firearms at a record pace was once thought to be a one time fluke caused by fears of the new Obama administration expressed lust for more gun control. But now 10 months in and the wrongly named “fear buying” has now become the norm as law abiding US citizen exercise their constitutional right to keep and bear firearms by the millions every month with no sign of slowing down.

The bulk of the buying has been concentrated on the following types of guns or calibers:

• Semi Auto Handguns
• Revolvers
• Ar15s and all variants of the Black Rifle
• .50 Caliber

1.17 Guns for Each Person
Conservative estimates of legally owned guns in the USA put the number at 355,029,250 million guns in the USA. That is 1.17 guns for everyone in the USA and if you listen to the liberal press they are all assault weapons. God bless anyone who tries to invade the USA…

Crime Rates Falling
The most stunning in all of this is that we have not seen an increase in crime, murder rates have fallen across most of the USA and Americans have shown that they can be trusted with firearms ownership.  This is directly in contrast to what the national media and gun control supporters would have us believe.

Gun owners you are clearly the majority!

Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

MISSOULA, Mont.—-(AmmoLand.com)- Kentucky’s elk herd runneth over, and Virginia has decided to welcome the overflow and build a sustainable, huntable population of its own.

In August, the governing board of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) voted unanimously to end unmanaged harvest of elk by state deer hunters. For years, any Virginian with a deer permit could shoot an elk wandering across the state line from Kentucky. That practice is expected to officially end this fall.

Additionally, the VDGIF board also moved toward an official elk reintroduction and management plan for southwestern Virginia.

“Kudos to conservation leaders in Virginia. Restoring a native game species to management levels is one of the highest achievements in conservation, and it’s great to see Virginia aspiring to that goal for elk,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO.

He added, “The Elk Foundation is extremely proud of the role we played in restoring elk to neighboring Kentucky. With a lot of money, technical assistance from our staff and support from our volunteers, we helped relocate over 1,500 elk to Kentucky between 1997 and 2002. Today that herd has more than 11,000 animals and offers incredible hunting opportunities with legitimate chances to take world-class bulls.”

Research shows that Kentucky elk have dispersed into four neighboring states with varying degrees of hospitality. Virginians originally wanted to keep elk out but now the culture appears to be changing, said Allen.

As an extension of its mission to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat, RMEF promotes sound management of wild, free-ranging elk, which may be hunted or otherwise enjoyed.

A YouTube video clip of the VDGIF board discussion and vote is available at HuntingLife.com

About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:
Snowy peaks, dark timber basins and grassy meadows. RMEF is leading an elk country initiative that has conserved or enhanced habitat on over 5.6 million acres—a land area equivalent to a swath three miles wide and stretching along the entire Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico. RMEF also works to open, secure and improve public access for hunting, fishing and other recreation. Get involved at www.rmef.org or 800-CALL ELK.

Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Congressman Rogers (R) makes his opening statement on Health Care reform legislation that is under debate in Congress.

Rogers understand that a public option on health care will lead to more government infringement into your life and your constitutional rights and you can bet that will include more gun control.

Do not just sit by call or email your representative and tell them to fix the government programs they already have and leave the 85% of us that are happy with their health care alone.

Shooting with the .22 – On Midway USA’s Cowboys

Idaho Fish and Game

Idaho --(AmmoLand.com)- After they were nearly wiped out in the lower 48 states, wolves in Idaho were declared endangered in 1974 under the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 1987 recovery plan for wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains included reintroducing them in central Idaho in 1995 and 1996.

Since then, Idaho has been involved in wolf management as directed by the Legislature, which in 2002, adopted the Idaho Wolf Conservation and Management Plan. Under the plan Idaho Fish and Game would be responsible for wolf management following delisting.

In February 2005, the Fish and Wildlife Service revised the rules that govern the experimental non-essential population of reintroduced wolves in Idaho south of Interstate 90. The change eased wolf management rules and gave Idaho a greater role in wolf management.

In January 2006, an agreement between Idaho and the U.S. Department of Interior designated the state as an agent for day-to-day wolf management for the Fish and Wildlife Service.

Wolves were removed from the endangered species list on May 4, 2009. Idaho Fish and Game has taken over management under 2008 state law, the 2002 wolf management plan and the 2008 Wolf Population Management Plan. Wolves will be managed as big game animals, similar to black bears and mountain lions. Hunting seasons will be set by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission.

About:
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission was created by public initiative in 1938. Commissioners are appointed by the Governor (no more than four may be from the same political party) for staggered four-year terms. Each commissioner is confirmed by the Idaho State Senate. In 1996, the Senate approved adding a seventh district to the existing six to meet the needs of Idaho’s regions. The seven commissioners, each representing a different region of the state, are responsible for administering the fish and game policy of the state.
