Choose Your Prey

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Orion Design Group’s motto is ‘Choose Your Prey’ and that’s exactly what you are going to do this SHOT Show. Over the course of the show, SSD will publish photos of ODG’s new camouflage patterns. Keep track of where you see them.

At the conclusion of SHOT Show, ODG will put up a post on their Facebook page to kick off the contest. You will have to correctly identify all of the booths shown on SSD that exhibited ODG’s camouflage patterns. A winner will be randomly chosen on 23 January 2012 from among those answered correctly.

The winner will receive a FirstSpear ECP pack in ODG transitional camouflage pattern.

Attn 12 Days Prize Winners

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Contest winners, please understand that organizing all of the prizes is a major task, and in the face of SHOT Show. Most of the prizes are being shipped by the vendors and once we collect everyone’s shipping data, which is still ongoing, they will be in contact with you.

Until then, please show some patience as we sort this out. Much of the speed at which this is dealt with is dependent on all of the winners reporting their shipping information. Until then, we don’t have tracking numbers for anyone.

99% of you have been real troopers.

Thank You

If you received an email saying you’ve won, please answer it! We have a lot of unclaimed prizes.

12 Days of Tactical Christmas – Day #13

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Wait a second. Did we say, “Day 13?” Yep, we sure did. You saw all of those great prizes, from a wide variety of supporters. When we approached them, we asked if they’d be willing to support a “13th day” and once we explained to them what we had in mind they all readily agreed. This 13th day is a grand prize if you will consisting of one of each of the prizes awarded in the various daily giveaways. If there was a bonus giveaway on any particular day, the winner will get one of those too. (more…)

WTF Part II

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Riddle me this…why would someone enter a contest for a free holster and then have vapor lock when asked which make and model gun they have? It’s probably best to not enter a holster giveaway if you don’t actually own one. Tactical Mama relates that “the black is going to start leaking out of (her)” if email exchanges continue to go on like this.

TM to winner…”You know, make and model of pistol…for the ummm, holster you won? Sure, we can make sure it matches your armor vest, but which model gun is it for? Oh…you think that model will look better with your loadout? Fine, but once again, which gun do you need it for?”

And…finally, No, Tactical Mama doesn’t want to talk to you on the phone at 11 PM. Actually, she doesn’t want to talk to you on the phone at all if it can be handled via email. Please understand, she’s busy right now wrangling prize winners (well over 100, many of whom haven’t answered her emails) and planning my trips to SHOT, OR, and a military mountaineering conference. However, she will stop and take a photo with you at SHOT Show if you ask her nicely.

And yes, this was meant to be read tongue in cheek, or was it?
