Team SIG’s Max Michel Continues to Dominate in Carry Optics at the 2019 Magnus Cup

Sunday, May 12th, 2019

NEWINGTON, N.H., (May 10, 2019) –SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG Captain, Max Michel for his first-place finish in the Carry Optics Division at the 2019 Magnus Sports Cup held May 1-5, 2019 at the Southern Utah Practical Shooting Range in Washington, Utah.

“It’s great to see Max continue his win streak in the Carry Optics Division, and do it with the SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO3MAX Optic,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer, and Executive Vice President Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “Max was not only the fastest shooter at the Magnus Cup within his division, but one of the most accurate shooters amongst all 450 competitors as well. His determination to continually better his performance in carry optics, and dedication to his training shows in the results, and his continued wins for Team SIG.”

To claim his first place finish at the 2019 Magnus Sports Cup, Max competed through 17 courses of fire using his P320X5, the soon to be released ROMEO3MAX open reflex sight, and SIG SAUER 9mm, 147 grain, Match Elite Competition Ammunition.

“This was the first ever Magnus Cup and it did not disappoint. The match challenged all of the physical and technical skills an IPSC shooter would need to possess in order to be at the top of their game,” added Michel. “My gear ran perfectly. The SIG Match Elite Ammunition was extremely accurate, and my ROMEO3MAX optic continues to turn heads because of my performance, and my P320X5 ran beautifully. I’m really proud to say that everything that helped me take first in the Carry Optics Division was a SIG SAUER product.”

The soon to be released ROMEO3MAX is a compact, open reflex sight featuring a 30mm Max round lens design for superior field-of-view, a special red-notch filter for a vivid red dot and unrivaled optical clarity, 6 MOA dot size for rapid target engagement, twelve illumination intensity levels, MOTAC activation, and up to 20,000 hours of runtime. The sight is machined from aircraft grade aluminum in a matte black finish, with a side-loading battery tray, and waterproof (IPX-7 rated).

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Dive Logs

Sunday, May 12th, 2019

When you first started diving, your instructors taught you to log all your dives. A typical entry consists of the dive location, date, time, duration of the dive, depth, water temperature, wetsuit with thickness, equipment, and other facts relevant to the dive. Like if that suit was suitable for that water temp if your foot cramped up with the fins you used and other items like that.

As we went away from diving, there are a lot of old skills and habits that have been lost. Also, as we start to use more advanced items in the water from sonar to Heads Up Dive Computers some of the necessary skills have been lost. Lastly, as we go longer durations in-between dives, it is a great idea to write stuff down, so you will remember how you had your gear set up the last time you did it. This can go for all the training that you do.

Document your number of dives. With technology today you can use your dive watch, and it does all the work for you. I think every dive company has an app that you can download your dive and add the other information you might want to remember. You will also be required to have a certain number of dives or a certain amount of a specific type of dives if you’re going to achieve different levels in the civilian dive world. Also, in most organizations, a minimum number of dives are required for you to keep your pay. If you ever have to prove you have dove, this can help.

By recording the equipment, your log can quickly become a reference to see how much weight you’ll need to descend in a given wetsuit. If you dive in various locations around the world, and in various climates, a dive log takes the guessing out of the equation. Remember to take into account what you are doing and wearing. If the last time you dove you had a 3lb sludge on your back and this time you don’t this will remind you. It never hurts to keep a paper logbook, so you can write in it and store it with your dive gear this way it is always there if needed. Lastly, write down if you had a problem with a piece of equipment. It’s easy to use something once a year and forget that you had a problem with it. Let’s say you had Nav Board that labeled as #3 and it needs to be replaced. So, when you are on deployment, and you go to dive, and you get Nav Board #3 you know to make sure it works, and it doesn’t have the same issues that it had before. Some people get very detailed in their log books others just write the necessary info down. That is up to you as long as you can look back and remember what info will help you out later. Lastly, you don’t have to use a particular book you can use anything as long as you are saving the same info.

Here is a great one, available from www.violentlittle.com/products/people-to-kill-notebook.

Team Wendy Participates in a Ceremony at the JUSMAG Office in Manila to Replace a Battle Damaged EXFIL Ballistic Helmet that Saved The Life of a Filipino Marine

Friday, May 10th, 2019

Team Wendy®, in conjunction with the Joint U.S. Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG) and the U.S. Embassy in Manila, recently participated in a ceremony to replace a battle-damaged helmet for a member of the Philippine Force Reconnaissance Group.

A Filipino Marine was recently hit in the helmet by a rifle round at close range while conducting counterterrorism operations. Team Wendy’s EXFIL® Ballistic stopped the round and the Marine survived. Team Wendy provided a new helmet to the Philippine Marine Corps to replace the damaged helmet.

“It was such a unique opportunity to meet with the Marines and hear the after-action report firsthand,” said Mike Romanchek, Director of Sales and Business Development for Team Wendy. “The EXFIL Ballistic has a number of saves against rifle rounds, but this was the first time it was presented publicly. It was an honor for us to meet with our allies and discuss the conditions in which they’re operating and how critically high-quality protective headgear benefits them in the fight.”

The affected Marine also received other wounds and didn’t realize at the time that he had also been shot in the head.

The U.S. collaborates with the Marine Force Reconnaissance Group and the Philippines at large on counterterrorism efforts to address the shared extremist threat. The EXFIL Ballistic was procured for the Filipino Marines via the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program facilitated by JUSMAG located at the U.S. Embassy in Manila.

The helmet exchange took place at the JUSMAG offices in the U.S. Embassy in Manila on April 8, 2019. The damaged helmet was given to JUSMAG as a symbol of gratitude. Representatives from JUSMAG, the Philippine Force Reconnaissance Group and Team Wendy were present.

“We have a sign on the floor of our manufacturing facility that says ‘the work you do saves lives every day,’” said Romanchek. “This is something our entire team is hyper-aware of, and it’s always incredible to hear testimonials like this.”
