Plano, TX (November, 2020) – The U.S.-based handgun manufacturer has launched its direct-to-agency website, shadowsystemsdefense.com to help Law Enforcement departments and Military units purchase directly to outfit their officers and servicemembers.
Shadow Systems, makers of the compact MR920, the long-slide MR920L, and the soon-to-be-released full-size DR920 have designed their pistols with LEOs and servicemembers in mind. Most Shadow Systems employees have a background in either law enforcement or military service, so for this team producing a bet-your-life-reliable pistol has always been the top priority. With the launch of shadowsystemsdefense.com, Shadow Systems is streamlining the process for agencies to test and evaluate Shadow pistols for their team. With just four clicks, procurement officers can request guns for testing and evaluation.
“Once you shoot a Shadow Systems pistol, you understand why the design works so well for so many different people. The interchangeable backstraps that change the grip angle to fit natural point of aim, the drop-safe flat-faced trigger, the directional serrations, they all work together to make this firearm incredibly intuitive. The features of our pistols and the fact that, in many cases, there is no new gear or training required make it easy to see why Shadow Systems pistols are starting to be adopted by agencies.” Chad Jewett, National Director of Sales.
T&E guns are now shipping for agencies considering Shadow Systems pistols for their team. Learn more about the pistol offerings and request T&E at shadowsystemsdefense.com.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 29, 2020 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, will send three of its team members and their Elite Tactical riflescopes to compete with many of the best precision rifle shooters in the world at the AG Cup scheduled for October 30 – November 1, 2020.
The 2020 AG Cup will be hosted by the Arena Training Facility in Blakely, Georgia. Team Bushnell will be represented there by Robert Brantley, Troy Livesay and Charles Roberts. The trio will be competing in the match with a mix of Elite Tactical XRS II 4.5-30×50 and Elite Tactical DMR II Pro 3.5-21×50 riflescopes.
Armageddon Gear teamed with the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) to create the AG Cup Series, which consists of eight designated qualifier matches. Scores taken from the AG Cup Series are used to determine who will be invited to the final match, the AG Cup. This match is by invitation only and offers an entirely cash payout, with tens of thousands of dollars on the line. It is the largest monetary payout competition known to the precision rifle community.
In PRS competition, Elite Tactical optics are commonly used by competitors to help maximize their performance. The rock-solid build quality of Elite Tactical scopes ensures reliable tracking, and reticle options for holding or dialing enable precise shot placement impact after impact. The scopes’ tight tolerances and machine-grade turrets help provide audible and tactile confirmation when adjusting without shooters having to look up from the reticle or lose sight of targets. The XRS II and DMR II Pro also feature ED Prime Glass to increase resolution and virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations, making target acquisition faster and easier.
Bushnell will have staff at the match conducting in-person interviews, showcasing products in the vendor station and providing general support to the event.
