This tiny wafer of a chip is the actual ballistic computer used in Precision Targeting’s RIANOV Eagle which we originally showed you during SOFIC. It’s built as an OEM product that can be supplied to other manufacturers.
The actual RIANOV Eagle, seen above, is a weapon mounted (1913 compatible) ballistic computer. It offers a fully compensated ballistic solution monitoring environmental conditions and weapon system orientation (slope and cant) to provide a firing solution. The military version is interoperable with the STORM, Rulr and RAPTOR.
I spent yesterday on the range at Spartan Tactical with Leupold and Knight’s Armament. KAC had a few new items on hand, one of which is this cool bipod.
Developed for a user requirement stemming from reliability of existing bipods, this new model from KAC incorporates adjustments for cant and pan as well as independent leg extension and position. In addition to the standard 0/45/90 degree leg positions, Knight’s has also incorporated a total of 6 positions including intermediate between the 45 and 90 deg which is ideal for loading the bipod in varying terrain.
The feet offer a wide, aggressive base and incorporate quite pointy teeth.
Make sure you stop by Knight’s booth at SHOT Show where it will be formally launched.

Despite deliberations throughout this year, the 2015 NDAA aka the Carl Levin and Howard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 does not repeal the provisions of last year’s Enyart Amendment requiring DoD to move toward common camouflage patterns and combat uniforms.
According to the Joint Explanatory Statement to Accompany 2015 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015:
Revised policy on ground combat and camouflage utility uniforms
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision (sec. 352) that would amend section 352 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66) that established a policy that the Secretary of Defense shall eliminate the development and fielding of Armed Forces-specific combat and camouflage utility uniforms and families of uniforms for specific combat environments to be used by all members of the Armed Forces.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include the Senate provision. (Emphasis added)We note that the guidance for the military services and combatant commands required by section 351 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66) to implement this policy is late and has not yet been delivered. We also note that the implementation plan is also late and necessary to ensure proper implementation of the Department of Defense’s guidance to establish and publish joint combat uniform standards and performance criteria.

Updated – What I understand this language is doing is tapping DoD on the head to let them know that they aren’t following last year’s NDAA by providing information Congress asked for. It looks like Congress is still very keen on the subject and that they need to get their act together.
Smyrna, Ga. (December 2014) – GASTON J. GLOCK style LP, purveyors of fine quality hunting and shooting sports apparel and accessories, is pleased to announce the recent addition of the Rough GTX Coat and Pants for both men and women to its hunting apparel line.
The Rough GTX Coat and Pants are made in Poland where hunters know a thing or two about unpredictable weather and harsh temperatures. Chevalier included a wind and water repellent Gore-Tex® membrane to keep the wearer dry and warm during the harshest downpours and a mesh lining to transport sweat and moisture away from the body. A convenient two-way zipper on the Rough GTX Coat allows the wearer to unzip the coat from the bottom, providing more freedom of movement and comfort in various positions.
The Rough GTX Coat, ideally suited for both stalking game and blind/stand hunting, is made of a resistant, roughened and reinforced polyester creating a robust, scratchproof hunting jacket. The Rough GTX Pants have sturdy reinforcements on the front of the legs and strong, yet light, outer fabric on the back and top to protect hunters and dog handlers from thorny undergrowth and low-hanging branches that they’ll encounter while stalking or flushing out their prey. Chevalier’s attention to detail includes draw strings on the coat waist and seam, as well as pre-bent knees and an elasticated waist on the pants, allowing the clothing to perfectly conform to the wearer’s body, ensuring the best possible fit, comfort and freedom of movement. The Rough GTX Pants have additional buttons at the waistband which allow for suspenders to be added if desired, while strap closures at the pant hemline allow the huntsman or woman to adjust the leg width in accordance with their footwear.
The Rough GTX Coat and Pants come with thoughtfully designed pockets for all of the wearer’s hunting needs. For example, the coat comes with two bellows chest pockets with cartridge holders that can hold up to five cartridges each. Chevalier and GASTON GLOCK style LP have also incorporated smaller storage pockets for cellphones and GPS devices and even an inner pocket for secure storage of wallet and driver’s license in the coat. There are also two large, lined hand-warming pockets at chest level and a pocket comprising the length of the jacket in the back for stowage of small game. The pants also have many practical zippered pockets that provide ample storage space, such as two slit side pockets with elastic pleats, two large side pockets on the outer thighs, a patch pocket with Velcro closure on the right thigh and a slot pocket on the back left leg.
The Men’s Rough GTX Coat is available in olive for purchase on the website for $689.00 and comes in sizes S – 3XL. The Men’s Rough GTX Pants are also available in olive on the website for $459.00 and come in a variety of sizes in both stocky fit and regular fit.

The Strapless Backpack System is a project currently on Kickstarter. It utilizes Float Pack technology, a strapless backback system which is integrated directly into select garments, allowing wearers to secure the pack to their person. The funding itself is not for the product, but rather to keep the manufacturing of the system within North America, as it currently is.
