Richard Mann Launches the Empty Cases Podcast

Wednesday, April 1st, 2020

PRINCETON, WV, April 1, 2020 – The Empty-Cases Podcast, which features stories about shooters, soldiers, lawmen, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts, is now live. In 2008, Richard Mann launched the Empty-Cases blog. It has become one of the most trusted Internet sources for educational and entertaining content related to firearms and the outdoors. Combined, the companion social media channels for Empty-Cases have thousands of followers. With the growing popularity of podcasts, and Richard Mann’s insatiable desire to tell stories, it only made sense for there to be a weekly Empty-Cases Podcast.

Sponsored by Wilson Combat and Timney Triggers, unlike other gun and outdoor related podcasts, the Empty-Cases Podcast focuses on people. Each episode takes a deep dive into the life of one of someone who has made a name for themselves in the outdoors or with firearms. And, in keeping with the Empty-Cases, it’s all about the shot, theme, each guest will answer three questions:

1. What was the best shot you ever made.

2. What was the worst shot you ever made.

3. Where did you get or who gave you, your shot or big break.

The Empty-Cases Podcast can be found on multiple podcast directories and multiple episodes are already available for download. The podcast and all current episodes are also accessible at, www.empty-cases.com and podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/empty-cases-podcast/id1504715710

UF PRO Introduces Revolutionary New Payment System

Wednesday, April 1st, 2020

UF PRO to Begin Accepting Toilet Paper in Place of Currency; Customers Can Soon Pay for Purchases in Rolls or Sheets

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (1 April 2020)—Cutting-edge maker of tactical clothing UF PRO today announced that it will soon allow customers the option of paying for their purchases in toilet paper.

“Toilet Paper Pay represents the next generation of e-commerce transactioning,” UF PRO executives said.

The company said customers can pay using either toilet paper in roll form or in individual sheets. The only stipulations are the toilet paper must be 2-ply or 3-ply and must not have been previously used.

UF PRO said it has been spending the past several weeks recalibrating its online store’s shopping cart and checkout systems to accommodate this new method of payment.

“We’re configuring our online store’s front end and also its back end to fully support Toilet Paper Pay,” company officials said. “Customers will find it exceptionally easy to use.”

Basically, shoppers will make their selections of UF PRO’s top-rated combat pants, shirts, jackets, and other items of tactical gear just as before, executives explained. The difference will be that, during checkout, customers can opt to pay in either conventional currency or Toilet Paper Pay. Customers also will be able with one click to see prices listed in traditional currencies or in toilet paper, adjusted to reflect applicable exchange rates and tariffs or doodies—er, duties.

UF PRO executives could not give a firm date by which they expect to have the new toilet-paper pay system up and ready to go live. However, they assured that the debut will be “soon.”

Meanwhile, the company invited interested shoppers to subscribe for early notification of when this innovative payment method option will officially plop down.

“We’re confident it will make quite a splash,” officials said.

Mission Spec Pushes Battlefield Medicine In New Direction

Wednesday, April 1st, 2020

Mission Spec, LLC (KS) is revealing their latest answer to the battlefield medicine question. Past customers will recognize the acronym EOC™ as Mission Spec’s original plate carrier design that was discontinued in December 2017 and replaced with EC2™. The company has decided to re-designate it from Essentials Only Carrier™ to Essential Oils Carrier™.

Innovation like this will allow combat and law enforcement life savers quick and ready access to a myriad of potential analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial solutions. Some suspect that these types of extracts could potentially replace broad spectrum antibiotics such as the Levofloxacin (500mg) or Moxifloxacin (400mg) (TCCC recommendation for oral antibiotics) commonly found in “Combat Pill Packs”. However, it is not intended as a replacement for intramuscularly (IM) injected or intravenously (IV) infused drugs such as Cefotan/cefotetan (2 grams [IV or IM] once every 12 hours) or Invanz/ertapenem (1 gram [IV or IM] once every 24 hours).

Future associated products include a MOLLE compatible, crush proof, coconut oil (or other carrier oil) dispenser pouch. This will allow for easy field-dilution by medical personnel.  Projected availability for Q3/2020.

The Essential Oils Carrier does come pretreated with lavender to promote a calm atmosphere for both the medical personnel and patient during combat operations.

Team Bushnell Delivers Top Finishes at A.I. USA Pro Series PRS Match

Tuesday, March 31st, 2020

Pro Shooter Mark Cooper Wins Tactical Division

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – Team Bushnell delivered a strong showing at the recent Accuracy International Long Range Classic, earning multiple top place finishes. During the fifth PRS Pro Series competition of the season, Bushnell Pro Shooter Mark Cooper earned First Place in the Tactical Division while teammate Bryan Sikes finished the match in 9th place overall.

Held at the Altus Shooting Solutions range in Baker, Florida, the A.I Long Range Classic challenged competitors with 20 courses of fire designed to push each shooter and their equipment to the limits. The challenge of making long-distance impacts from a variety of shooting positions, all while under the clock, provided the field of 134 shooters with two days of hard-fought competition.

 Competing in the Tactical Division with his Elite Tactical XRS II, Cooper was able to maintain a lead throughout the match, winning the division by 28 points. His first major win of the 2020 season, Cooper was very pleased with his performance.

 “The A.I. match is a kickoff to the new season and this year I decided to focus my energy on competing in the Tactical Division for the first time,” said Cooper. “Altus is known for its first-class facility and challenging courses of fire so I knew that it would be a close match. Without my XRS II, I don’t think my top finish would have been possible. Its crystal-clear glass paired with the G3 reticle made locating and engaging multiple targets possible, all under a 90 second par time. In my opinion, Elite Tactical riflescopes win hands down every time.”

 In the Open Division, fellow Bushnell teammate and RCBS/Champion sponsored shooter Bryan Sikes finished the match in 9th place overall. Sikes was only 15 points behind the overall champion and relied on the Elite Tactical DMR II Pro to see him through the competition.

“Altus is one of those places that I look forward to competing at every year,” said Sikes. “Difficult stages, a great group of competitors and hundreds of rounds of fun. I’m very pleased with my finish even though you always wish you would have had a few more impacts. But overall, a solid match made even better by great glass. Looking forward to next one.”

Blackwater Announces Investment In Iron Horse Firearms

Tuesday, March 31st, 2020

For Immediate Release – Concord, NC –  Erik Prince and Blackwater Worldwide are pleased to announce the recent partnership with Iron Horse Firearms.

Iron Horse entered the scene late 2018 with the first of its kind, thumb operated AR15 and their magazine fed shotgun called the Sentry 12.  The patent pending, thumb-operated trigger has been shown to greatly enhance the experience of a large portion of the shooting community and makes shooting possible for those who have limited mobility or severely injured fingers.  The Sentry 12 magazine fed shotgun, gives users the ability to rapidly select various ammo to match the threat level, all within a simple and reliable platform. Both products will be sold under the Blackwater Firearms division of Blackwater Worldwide.

“Ironhorse’s revolutionary trigger system has the potential to be a game changer.  It could not come at a better time as there have been so few impactful innovations in the firearms industry over the past 50 years.” Said Eric Prince, Founder of Blackwater Worldwide “Our in-house testing has shown a significant decrease in shot group size when compared to a traditional AR-15 trigger set.   We think this technology could be totally disruptive in the firearms market and could replace traditional triggers altogether at some point.”

“Blackwater brings much appreciated industry experience to our relatively new company.” Said Ryan McDonald, CEO Iron Horse Firearms “Together, we feel good about our chances of making this Blackwater and Iron Horse partnership very successful.”

Moving forward, Iron Horse Firearms will be “doing business as” Blackwater Firearms.

The Perfect Hydration Tube: Source and Qore Performance Team Up on Tube Collaboration for IcePlate Curve

Monday, March 30th, 2020

Sterling, VA: Tired of inadequate hydration hoses, Qore Performance and Source have joined forces to create a custom version of the Source Tactical Drink Tube, built specifically for IcePlate Curve and IcePlate MOLLE Combo. This custom tube combines Source’s best-in class Helix Bite Valve drink tube with a 90 Degree Hard Elbow Qore Performance created specifically for IcePlate Curve. “This collaboration is super exciting for us because it delivers everything we want in a hydration tube: low-visibility signature, durability, reliability, and zero tube-kink risk. It really is the perfect drink tube,” said Qore Performance Co-Founder & CEO, Justin Li.

Qore Performance released IcePlate Curve in August 2019, exactly three years after they launched the original IcePlate Classic in August 2016. IcePlate Curve is the only hydration system in the world that can deliver four distinct benefits to the user with water they already carry: cooling, heating, hydration, and impact protection. Matching the exact geometry of a Medium ESAPI armor plate, IcePlate Curve delivers 50oz./1.5L and 70 watts of cooling in an ultra-slim, conformal package designed to minimize profile and boost physiological performance with a nearly indestructible package that can be worn under armor plates, over armor plates, or stand-alone for safety, recreational, and training applications.

A key component to IcePlate Curve is the IceCap. IceCap, designed and assembled by Qore Performance, is the Quick Disconnect drink tube interface for IcePlate Curve that uses the 28-410 thread standard, allowing it to be used on almost any plastic bottle product from Coca-Cola/Dasani in the world, in addition to IcePlate Curve.

The Source Tactical Drink Tube and Helix Bite Valve are currently standard on all Military and Law Enforcement orders placed with Qore Performance. They will come standard on all IcePlate Curves and be available as a stand-alone product starting April 1, 2020. Currently, they are available exclusively through Qore Performance’s website.

Qore Performance, Inc. is actively enhancing human performance and safety with wearable thermoregulation technology for military, law enforcement and safety professionals everywhere. Their IceAge Ecosystem enhances human physiological performance through thermoregulation under kit and while training. Qore Performance’s solutions were born out of a critical need identified by Co-Founder Justin Li, to improve performance and safety while working as a sworn law enforcement officer in the California desert.

Qore Performance products are proudly Made in the USA.
