Priority of fielding is to deployers. Consequently, the 45 men and women of Air Task Force 22, who head this month to Mazar-e-Sharif were issued first. The Dutch military has also instituted a new foot measuring device to ensure a proper fit as they issue these 2 new boots which are intended for use in Netherlands and North-Western and Central Europe. The first is a multifunctional combat boot for use in rocky and mountainous terrain and incorporates a waterproof, breathable lining for temperate to cold areas. The second boot features a moisture regulating lining intended for temperate and warm areas. Together, these two boots replace a single model that was supposed to be a jack of all trades. While no brand name or model was mentioned, it appears everybody initially will get 2 variant of Meindl boots; the Island MFS and another unnamed model for hot weather. Additionally, the boots are issued with 6 pair of socks matched to the performance of the boot.
They’ve also adopted other models, the so-called desert or jungle gevechtslaarzen, which are special issue to troops stationed or deploying to those areas.
Thanks Ipkiss
SHOT Show – BROWE Sport Optic
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013
The 4×32 BROWE SPORT Optic (BSO) is a purpose designed and built optic for AR-style rifles that is a non-powered alternative to the BROWE Combat Optic (BCO). It features a housing machined from solid Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum combined with SCHOTT Glass, and FLIR etched mirror reticle. It’s also waterproof and fog proof. The new Sport Optic also fits all the accessories offered for the 4×32 BCO.
The BSO’s most interesting feature is the battery free, Rechargeable Illumination Technology (RIT) reticle, which is environmentally friendly and non toxic. It’s kind of like using your flashlight to charge your cat eyes on your PC before a patrol. So basically, you charge it for about 15 seconds before you use it in low light. Notice it’s a SPORT optic there race fans. So no, it’s not designed for combat use. Not if you have to stop and charge it up before you use it.
This graphic will give you an idea of what the reticle looks like during day and at night while charged and glowing.

New Class from Mike Pannone
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013Mike Pannone 2-Day Covert Carry
Course description: 2-day Covert Pistol is a fast paced course designed to give students not only the technical but the practical understanding of the effective employment of their pistol from a covert concealed location.
The CTT-Solutions covert pistol program is designed to exercise and refine the skills necessary to access and effectively use a concealed handgun with a high level of speed and efficiency day or night. This course is based upon training I received at 1st SFOD-D, provided to the Federal Air Marshal Service while I was the head range instructor at the FAMS school, the chief in-service instructor at the Seattle Field office of the FAMS, taught and used during protection operations in Iraq and refined for a course recently taught to high level SOF assets prior to high threat deployment. Students will be required to use the same gun and holster throughout the entire course. Time will be allotted in the first day to identify the best type, location and wear of holster and associated equipment. The remainder of the course will be dedicated to making the use of the weapon from that configuration rapid, sure and effective. Although courses of fire will go out as far as 50m, the bulk will be multiple partially obscured targets with multiple shots per target at 03-15m.
The course is designed to safely make you an extremely competent legal concealed handgun carrier (civilian, military or law enforcement) and give a foundation of drills and concepts for you to maintain your skills at your own range. Tactics will revolve around awareness and avoidance with shooting always being the last resort.

Website completion and other
Shipping
Assembly
Professional photographs
Automation software (shipping, bookkeeping, contact management)
Professional public relations firm to help promote and grow the Tough Hook brand
