Brooklyn, NY, February 16, 2018 – MultiCam®, the combat-proven, complete family of concealment solutions for those who demand the best, has announced the next video in their Team MultiCam® Brand Ambassador series with the release of the Travis Gibson Documentary feature.

This next video in the series, set to premiere February 16th on MultiCam®’s YouTube channel, is focused on the nationally ranked multi-gun shooter and his unparalleled drive to be the best at what he does.

Gibson is a nationally ranked shooter in 3-Gun, long-range rifle, USPSA and Steel Challenge. He is a proud husband, father (his son Wyatt also competes in the 3-gun circuit) and business owner of MGM Targets. Gibson’s dedication and drive is what keeps him training, traveling and going above and beyond to be the best.

In an effort to help grow the shooting sports and give back to the community, Gibson frequently hosts “ladies only” handgun classes and junior classes at very low rates, or even no charge. He is also involved with the MGM Junior Pistol Camp and the MGM Junior 3-Gun Camp; a competition shooting camp for junior shooters held at Parma Idaho every July. The camp boasts six of the world’s best shooters as instructors teaching up to 65 students during the two-and-a-half day class. Parents oftentimes report to Gibson that the class is a “life changing event” for their child.

Speer Secures Long-Term Ammunition Contract from French National Police

Thursday, February 15th, 2018

Latest Round of International Contract Highlights Speer’s Commitment to Excellence

LEWISTON, Idaho – February 14, 2017 – The French National Police recently awarded Speer with a long-term contract for its 124-grain, 9mm Luger Gold Dot Duty ammunition. This contract reflects the company’s industry-leading technologies and longstanding commitment to excellence.

“The French National Police are one of the world’s finest law enforcement agencies. We’re proud to provide Speer Gold Dot for their duty ammunition needs,” said Jason Nash, Senior Director of Marketing, “and are honored they selected us for this important contract.”

Gold Dot was the first handgun ammunition loaded with true, bonded-core bullets. Speer’s exclusive Uni-Cor construction process bonds the jacket to the alloyed lead core one atom at a time. This process virtually eliminates core-jacket separation while guaranteeing uniform jacket thickness for superior accuracy.

Each Gold Dot hollow-point cavity is tuned by caliber and bullet weight to ensure optimum expansion and penetration. Additional Gold Dot features include ultra-reliable CCI primers, plus high-powered, clean-burning propellants and nickel-plated brass cases for smooth function and extreme durability.

Headquartered in Lewiston, Idaho, Speer has a long-standing reputation for making the world’s finest bullets and in 1996 became one of the first U.S. ammunition manufacturers to achieve ISO 9001 certification for quality. The company manufactures a variety of bullets and cartridges for law enforcement, reloading and sporting applications.

 

Speer is a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., an outdoor sports and recreation company. For more information on Speer, go to www.speer-ammo.com.
