TNVC – GoPro Adapters Now Shipping
Sunday, February 7th, 2016 
The NVG Adapter will attach any HERO model to a night vision goggle with a PVS-14 Eyepiece Assembly. While the TNVC NVG Adapter for GoPro HERO will technically interface with all standard HERO models, it is optimized for the HERO4 Black and Silver as well as HERO3 and HERO3+. A translucent Wilcox Industries amber beam-splitter attaches to the rear of the goggle, bouncing the night vision image 90° into a perpendicular-mounted GoPro HERO camera. The camera mounts snugly against the goggle to minimize profile, via a clamp arm that attaches around the NVG Eyepiece Locking Ring. The user sees through the beam-splitter eyepiece normally while the first person POV is recording.

Post SHOT Show Wrapup – Aimpoint Magnifiers
Tuesday, January 26th, 2016 During FirstSpear’s Range Day, we ran across Aimpoint’s new magnifiers. Below is the Aimpont press release which offers additional information but we’d like to clarify something we put out last week. Turns out there are professional grade magnifiers in both 3x and 6x versions while the commercial variant is only offered in a 3x model.
Las Vegas, NV – January 19, 2016 – Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in electronic red-dot sighting technology, has announced the addition of three new accessory magnifiers to their product line. Designed to work in conjunction with the company’s electronic reflex sights, these new magnifiers are being offered in 3X and 6X magnification, in both a standard grade for use by civilian shooters, as well as professional grade models.
The new Aimpoint magnifiers feature diopter adjustment, allowing each optic to be individually adapted to the operator’s eye. All are protected by shock absorbing protective rubber covers that also provide an ergonomic grip surface. The Aimpoint magnifiers may be used with the company’s quick-detach TwistMount™, or with the newly launched Aimpoint® FlipMount which allows the magnifier to be quickly flipped in or out of the optical axis, or removed from the firearm completely.
“These magnifiers open up some interesting new opportunities for users of Aimpoint sights.” said Matt Swenson, VP of Sales at Aimpoint Inc. “Our standard grade 3X-C is a great magnifier at a very reasonable price point. On the professional side, the Aimpoint 6XMag offers 50% more magnification than existing US military combat optics, and allows an operator to quickly transition back to their non-magnified Micro T-2 sight for CQB.”

SHOT Show – Hartman Ltd.
Friday, January 22nd, 2016
At the Kalashnikov USA booth, among with the new products was a futuristic-looking reflex sight, called the MH1. The MH1 was developed by Mikey Hartman, a Lt. Col. (Ret.) of the IDF, and the founder and former 20-year commander of the IDF Marksmanship and Sharpshooting School. The MH1 was designed to improve shooter performance as much as accuracy. To that end, it has a number of interesting features.
To start, the MH1 features a 35 x 24mm viewing window, which according to Hartman is the largest currently on the market; the intent behind the larger window is to maximize target acquisition speed for the shooter. The MH1 also features rear panel controls, which are angled and ambidextrous, allowing them to be used even when wearing gloves or if a magnification or night vision scope is mounted behind the sight.
The HM1 is also powered by two separate battery systems: a USB-rechargeable battery, and a single CR123 battery. The optic utilizes the rechargeable battery first, then uses the backup CR123 when the former runs out of power.
Above you can see the ‘Accuracy Enhanced Reticle’, which consists of a center red dot and horizontal lines at 3 & 9 o’clock. The intent of this design is two-fold: it’s designed to allow the user to maintain the weapon on a vertical plane to avoid red dot cant issues, and the horizontal lines also allow users to utilize them as a ballistics aiming system.
Additional features include:
Be on the look out for the Hartman MH1 later this year.
