Sneak Peek – MOHOC K9 Head Harness

Wednesday, May 11th, 2016

By now, I’m sure you’re familair with the MOHOC camera so I’m not going to spend a lot of time going over its capabilities. I’d rather show you this new K9 head harness. Instead of mounting the camera on the dog’s back, this version puts it on top of the K9’s head for a true POV perspective.

The MOHOC K9 harness matches the curvature of your dog’s head and maintains a snag free, low profile. This snag free design allows your dog to move in confined spaces without being impeded by a large pole or camera arm on their back. The K9 harness is adjustable both around the collar and in front of the ears, allowing you to securely attached the harness and camera to your working dog.


The K9 Head Harness will be offered in Black or Tan.

SOFIC 2016 – Yes, There Will Be Quaffing

Wednesday, May 11th, 2016

What’s Gelände Quaffing you might ask? Well, it’s the awesomest beer drinking competition ever and finds its roots in the downhill ski community.

In 1986, the skis were skinny and the snow was fat, during a 14 foot storm, the infamous underground crew of the Jackson Hole Air Force was going stir crazy in the Bear Claw Café, waiting for the mountain to open. In those days the bartender would send a freshly filled beer mug sliding down the bar to the patron who ordered it. One fateful night a beer mug slid off the end of the bar, took air, was caught seconds before a glass shattering catastrophe, and promptly pounded. Gelände Quaffing was born. Apres’ ski competitions followed, testing the unique skills of all who entered, and provided exciting entertainment for all spectators. But somewhere along the way Gelände Quaffing was lost and the après ski spirit forgotten.

It’s quite a sight. Teams often costumed run from one end of the bar to the other and by the end of the night, they are feeling no pain. As in years past, this grudge match is also a fundraiser. Along with a silent auction, they raise some great coin for the All In, All The Time Foundation.

See you there!

Joe Carley Joins Team Vortex

Wednesday, May 11th, 2016

Vortex Optics of Middelton, Wisconsin is proud to announce the addition of Joe Caley to their small and select cadre of sponsored shooters.

Joe served in the US Army from 1990 to 2011 as an enlisted Infantryman, Cavalry Scout and Infantry Officer. Joe was severely wounded in Iraq in 2009. As a result he spent two years in hospitals for his second TBI, several surgeries for his legs, feet, a spinal injury and vestibular paresis. With the help of his doctors and therapists they were able to train and calibrate a Bioness System that allows him to climb obstacles, hills and walk and traverse mountain trails.

A year ago, Joe was approached by a friend at AMU asked him to shoot a PRS match. Joe jumped at the chance and hasn’t looked back. At time of writing he is 19th in Tactical Division, placed 9th at Mammoth Sniper Challenge and was invited to shoot in the exclusive Allegheny Sniper Challenge in Seneca Rocks, WV. Joe plans to move to the open division in 2017.

“Competing in PRS and tactical matches is challenging for most able bodied competitors, I often get told by other Shooters that they don’t know how I do it, and though they are beat up and tired they can’t possibly go and complain about it. A lot of times I show them the burn marks on my skin that the devices give me from putting electrical impulses through my legs. I don’t complain, I wear the scars with pride because I’m out there competing and not sitting around feeling sorry for myself. I enjoy meeting the many competitors and learning new things from all the top shooters. Most rewarding to me is when someone comes up and tells me they had no idea I had those injuries because I wear long pants to cover my equipment. This makes me feel great because I’m not looking for attention. I am just looking for a new normal.

Along the way I’ve had some great help with PRS and shooting, Vortex Optics being one that always got me some great optics to use, but now as of April I was notified that I am now one of the only sponsored match shooters of Vortex Optics. I know this is a huge honor because this family of shooters is very small and they are world and national champions. I feel fortunate to have the backing of Vortex and their entire staff”
