Leupold Announces Live Online Event With Mark “Oz” Geist

Tuesday, July 5th, 2016

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., will be hosting a special webinar event with Mark “Oz” Geist, one of the Annex Security Team members whose story was told in the film “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” During this live online event, Geist and Leupold’s Tim Lesser will discuss optics, especially their use in tactical operations, and share stories from the field. Geist and Lesser will also be answering questions fielded from online attendees during the webcast.

“Mark is an American hero, and to have his perspective on tactical optics and their real-world application is an incredible honor for us to share,” said Bruce Pettet, president and chief executive officer of Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “Servicemen and women like Mark are one of the reasons Leupold & Stevens employees are relentless in our mission to make the most reliable and rugged optics in the world.”

Geist, a former U.S. Marine, was serving as a private security contractor working with the CIA at a classified post known as The Annex in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012. When U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was attacked by terrorists at his nearby residence, the Annex Security Team defied orders and responded, saving the lives of dozens of U.S. State Department employees.

Later that night and into the morning, the same forces launched an attack against The Annex, where Geist and his team successfully repelled wave after wave of gunmen until they were able to evacuate to the airport. Geist was seriously injured in the attack, which claimed the lives of two security contractors, a State Department employee and Ambassador Stevens.

Please join Leupold for this special event on July 6, at 1 p.m. Pacific time at http://leupold.yourbrandlive.com/c/leupold-event-1.

CAROL STREAM, IL-PRS Shooter Joe Caley has been chosen as a brand ambassador for the small and select professional group that represents Grunt Style of Carol Stream, IL.

Grunt Style is 100 US Veteran and Patriot strong lifestyle apparel company whose mission is to deliver the highest quality, most Patriotic apparel on the planet straight to your front door.

Joe served in the US Army from 1990 to 2011 as an enlisted Infantryman, Ranger, Cavalry Scout and Infantry Officer. Joe was severely wounded in Iraq in 2009. As a result, he spent two years in hospitals for his second TBI, several surgeries for his legs, feet, a spinal injury and vestibular paresis. With the help of his doctors and therapists they were able to train and calibrate a Bioness System that allows him to climb obstacles, hills and walk and traverse mountain trails and of course, shoot better than ever.

Joe is currently in 13th Place for the Tactical Division in PRS. “Representing Grunt Style and being part of their Awesome Team is an incredible Honor! When I received the call it was like Colonel Trautman telling John Rambo he had a mission for him. I look forward to representing the veteran community and the Grunt Style brand.”

Tim Jensen, COO of Grunt Style said of Joe, “Joe is one of the most genuine people that you could ever meet. We’re happy to be partnered with him and show everyone what our veteran community is capable of together. ”

Joe is proud to announce that his earnings from Grunt Style will be donated to Tacoma, WA based non-profit, “Liz Rocks.”

The mission of Liz Rocks is to create a state of the art outdoor rock climbing/bouldering wall at Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, Washington in honor of Liz Daley.

Liz Daley was a Tacoma, WA native and a Western Washington University Alumnus. Liz was killed in avalanche in Argentina in 2014 while working as a professional climber and guide for Eddie Bauer. A memorial project was established in her name in 2015 to provide a safe environment to introduce a whole new crowd to rock climbing/bouldering.

Krystle Edwards, Executive Director of Liz Rocks said, “Some of the biggest and most unlikely supporters of the Liz Rocks Campaign have been the Ranger Veteran community, especially people like Joe. We are super stoked to have the opportunity to continue to bridge gaps in our community and provide a place that offers a sense of adventure to everyone.”

Grayboe Announce the Renegade and Outlander Fiberglass Stocks

Wednesday, June 29th, 2016

June 29th, 2016 –Phoenix, AZ – Grayboe is pleased to announce the release of its two flagship products, the Outlander and the Renegade. Both stocks are high quality off the shelf options for large OEM’s, distributers, custom rifle builders, and individuals looking to upgrade their existing hunting or tactical rifle stocks. Grayboe stocks are designed and manufactured with the same strength, quality, and attention to detail as custom fiberglass stocks but come in at half the price and with very short lead times.

Grayboe stocks are constructed of a proprietary solid homogenous compound of fiberglass, calcium silicate and micron sized spheres in a specially formulated epoxy matrix. Each stock is formed under high pressure and heat which creates an exceptionally stiff and high strength platform that is able to withstand all weather and shooting conditions.

Several color options are available and ready to ship. Standard paint colors include black, khaki, gray, and olive with standard Hydro-dip options of Kryptek Nomad, Mandrake, Typhon and Highlander. Additional colors, paint techniques like spider web or speckle, and specialized dipping options are available to high volume buyers. The materials used in these stocks make it possible for rifle builders to custom Cerakot these stocks to fit their specific customer’s requests.

Outlander

The Outlander is our traditional hunting stock. The Outlander is ambidextrous with a straight comb and traditional hunting style pistol grip that feels like an old friend. The Outlander is light weight and sleek for easy and efficient field carry. The slightly oversized fore end will accommodate up to a #5 barrel contour.

Barreled Action Availability
Remington 700 Long Action BDL, Sporter / Magnum Barrel
Remington 700 Short Action BDL, Sporter / Magnum Barrel (Available Summer 2016)
MSRP: $299

Renegade

The Renegade is the only authorized and licensed McMillan A5 design on the market. It uses a beavertail forearm that is wider and flatter than most stocks which makes it suitable for the bench shooter or for real world tactical deployment. Action and barrel sit lower for enhanced stability and control. The Renegade uses a trim pistol grip, helping the shooter to maintain steady rearward pressure and keeping the butt more solidly “in the pocket”. The dual purpose butt hook is fully functional for either riding sandbags or controlling the rifle with the non-trigger hand. The Renegade is ambidextrous.

Barreled Action Availability
Remington 700 Long Action BDL and DBM, Varmint Barrel
Remington 700 Short Action BDL, and DBM, Varmint Barrel

Autonomous Alloys – Digital Steel Smart Target System

Monday, June 27th, 2016

New high Tech Shooting Target Inspired by Video Game Mechanics Brings the Virtual World to the Real World

Interactive High-Tech Steel Shooting Targets Use First-ever Magnetic Reset and Embedded LED Backlit Illumination to Reproduce Classic FPS Game Mechanics

Autonomous Alloys’ Digital Steel smart target system represents a huge leap forward in shooting target technology for the most common caliber ever made, the .22 LR.

Virtually all shooting targets become static and dull – paper can seen, but can’t be heard; steel can be heard, but can’t be seen. And even “reactive” targets tend to get monotonous after time. Autonomous Alloys has set out to redefine what a target is capable of and in doing so, created the world’s first electronic steel pop up target system that uses traditional first-person (FPS) video game modes to inspire it’s experience, and bring fun and training with interactive, multisensory shooting targets.

Powered by a lightening-fast electromagnet to control pop-up resets and a multi-colored backlit light bar for game feedback, Digital Steel targets combine visual and audio feedback in an extra-ordinary way – every target hit is a satisfying hit. And when wirelessly connected to other targets on the field, something extraordinary happens – game modes that were traditionally only available in video games can now be played down range with live fire. Fan favorites like Free-for-All and Domination from games like Doom, Halo, and Call of Duty, can be played in single player, co-op, and head-to-head modes. Training drills and run and gun modes provide real-world high-adrenaline scenarios and test everything from your double tap and reload skills, to speed and endurance.

Fast paced, intuitive, and fun for shooters of all ages, Digital Steel Smart Targets bring several new features never-before-seen in targets:

20+ Game and training modes at launch and more just a download away

Training drills that include custom time-trials and double-tap requirements

Virtually unlimited number of wirelessly connected targets down range

iOS/Android Apps enable fast and intuitive game starts

Up to 4 players for head-to-head or co-op battles

Bullet proof! LED illumination is shielded with replaceable polycarbonate bullet resistant polymer; the target popper is cut out of AR450 ballistic steel while the whole chassis is protected by a downward canted AR500 steel shield

Solid-state with no moving parts but the popper itself. Onboard embedded processor controls magnetic reset, LED feedback, and wireless communication for lightning-fast responses across the field

“Digital Steel Smart Targets are designed to be fun,” said Michael Campbell, co-founder of Autonomous alloys. “Casual and competitive players alike love the system for the charged feedback and action. It’s unlike any other live fire target shooting experience.”
