Shadow Tech, LLC, best known for the Hog Saddle, has released a brand new product, The Kestrel ATI Wind Wrap. A good wind meter is an invaluable tool when precision shooting. In that regard, the Kestrel ATI Wind Wrap is an extremely useful accessory, as it serves as a retention device that allows the user to mount their Kestrel wind meter to a rifle sling, tri/bipod leg, or MALICE clip for immediate usage. The ATI Wind Wrap utilizes a soft mount which eliminates the effect rifle recoil has on a Kestrel’s internal electronics. Additionally, the Wind Wrap is made of Hypalon fabric, lined internally with a “special grippy material” which maintains grip in oily or wet conditions.

The Kestrel ATI Wind Wrap is 100% American made and Berry Compliant. Best of all, it’s officially approved by Kestrel themselves.

The ATI Wind Wrap is being produced in two models: Kestrel 4500 – available at the time of writing, and Kestrel 5700 – available November 7th, both in Coyote Brown.

BE Meyers & Co – GLARE RECOIL

Sunday, October 2nd, 2016

This is the GLARE RECOIL™ from BE Meyers & Co. This green laser hail and warning system is the sole-source winner for the MARCORSYSCOM Ocular Interrupter (OI) Program ($49M IDIQ), and is also under evaluation for several other US and International programs, including the US Navy Hailing Acoustic Laser & Light Tactical System (HALLTS) program. It is the proven design.

The GLARE RECOIL™ is the only truly eye-safe Escalation of Force laser dazzler for hail and warning, with an NOHD of 0 meters due to the integration of a laser rangefinder into the safety controls of the system. The GLARE RECOIL™ can easily envelope both short-range and long-range target areas through the motorized zoom functions. It is an amazing piece of technology.

This video explains how the GLARE RECOIL differs radically from any other hail and warning system by illustrating how their patented “SmartRange™” technology works. Watch the video at bemeyers.com/media/videos.

SmartRange™ technology identifies the range to target and automatically regulates the power to correspond with output that is safe for that distance. If the target moves, the systems self-regulates power on target accordingly.

Designed for combat applications, the GLARE RECOIL™ incorporates groundbreaking safety technologies in a ruggedized package that performs in demanding land and sea environments, with impactful hail and warning capabilities able to safely alert targets anywhere from 3 meters to beyond 16 kilometers (10 miles).

Law Enforcement, BE Meyers hasn’t forgotten about you. The GLARE HELIOS™ is the Law Enforcement specific version of the GLARE RECOIL™ which provides identical controls in the same compact form factor, with FDA variances approving the GLARE HELIOS™ for use by all Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement agencies and others meeting specific defense and security criteria.

If you’re going to be at AUSA this week, be sure to stop by BE Meyers & Co (booth #2342) to check out the GLARE RECOIL and MAWL for yourself!

Bushnell’s Easy-To-Use Trophy Cam HD Essential E2 Delivers Enhanced Imagery Day or Night

Wednesday, July 13th, 2016

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas (July 11, 2016) – Bushnell, an industry leader in high-performance outdoor products for more than 65 years, has again raised the bar in performance and value. The new Trophy Cam HD Essential E2 defines long-lasting efficiency and ease of use while improving both day and nighttime imagery.

Built on the rugged Trophy Cam HD Aggressor chassis, the new Essential E2 employs and easy-to-use latch and lets hunters keep a watchful eye on their favorite outdoor hotspots around the clock.

The camera is amazingly efficient, too. The power-saving Trophy Cam HD Essential E2 runs up to 12 months on one set of eight AA batteries.

Ensuring the best detection and images, the adjustable PIR (passive infrared sensor) is motion-activated out to 80 feet and fires a 32-LED dynamic night vision flash for premium images at night. The camera is also SD slot compatible with cards up to 32 GB and features audio record; a redesigned, easy-open case; plus date, time, temperature and moon stamp.

With a lightning-fast 0.3 second trigger speed, and three resolution options between 3-, 8- and 12-megapixels, the camera ensures crisp, vivid photos and video.

The Essential E2 also allows users to adjust trigger interval from 1 second to 60 minutes. Plus, adjustable settings allow you to capture one to three images per trigger, or 5- to 60-seconds of 1,280×720-pixel HD video. Also standard is Field Scan 2x time-lapse mode, which takes images at pre-set intervals from 1 to 60 minutes.

Plus, every Trophy Cam camera comes with a free one-month trial of DeerLab, a web-based subscription service that analyzes data from your photos and from weather services to help create a profile for each buck on your property, including how often, when, and under what weather and wind conditions a buck tends to be on his feet — and potentially walking under your stand.

Bushnell, a Vista Outdoor, Inc. brand, is one of the most recognizable and trusted names in precision hunting, tactical and recreational optics and accessories. For more information, visit www.bushnell.com.

Aviation Specialties Unlimited Offers Limited Time GSA Special On Ecliptus

Thursday, June 2nd, 2016

(BOISE, IDAHO– May 27, 2016) GSA customers can now capture the night with the new Ecliptus, night vision GoPro camera and for a very limited time, below the micropurchase limit for Government Card Holders. The Ecliptus will be available for $3,495—a $2,000 discount—during the month of June by Aviation Specialties Unlimited, Inc. (ASU) a Boise, Idaho-based night vision company on GSA Contract GS-07F-0345J.

“We have received great feedback on the Ecliptus product,” said ASU President Jim Winkel. “The Ecliptus is rugged, lightweight, and affordable. Because the Ecliptus offers the unique combination of remote video recording with night vision capabilities using the GoPro HERO 4 camera, it is very appealing for law enforcement agencies, special task forces, search and rescue crews and numerous other public service organizations. The GSA special introductory pricing makes it even easier to purchase.”

The Ecliptus can record both day and night. This allows video documentation and still images for security, training, sporting, wildlife research and media production in extremely low light scenarios that were nearly impossible to document previously.

“We know that many agencies may need multiple Ecliptus camera systems, but this GSA introductory price will assure that at least the first one can be ordered without a lot of complications while also adhering to government buying guidelines. Once agencies see the value of our new product, we will work with them to arrange bulk orders, purchase orders, etc.”

The Ecliptus weighs less than one pound, is integrated with the GoPro HERO4 and captures images at 12 megapixels with a burst mode at 30 frames per second. It captures night vision images utilizing an AN/PVS-14 objective lens, records in ultra-high definition (4X HD), and stores these images using a 16 GB SD card. Images and video can also be viewed in real time using WiFi-enabled smart devices. The camera modes can be controlled using the GoPro button controls and optionally from remote mobile devices. The MSRP of the new Ecliptus is $5,499.

For more information about the introductory price, to obtain specification on the Ecliptus or for assistance placing an order visit www.asu-nvg.com/ecliptus or call 208-426-8117.

Aviation Specialties Unlimited And Wilcox Industries Partner Up To Built Next Generation Mounts And Battery Packs

Military aviators in for stronger, lighter, easier-to-use NVG mount system

For more than 30 years, night vision goggle (NVG) helmet mounts and battery packs used in military aviation have experienced few changes. After looking at the strengths and weaknesses, two leaders in aviation innovations, Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU) and Wilcox Industries, joined forces to build the next generation of easy-to-operate mounts and battery packs.

Unveiled at Heli-Expo 2016, ASU’s new NVG helmet mount and battery pack is lighter, smaller, easier to setup, and more durable than previous models. One of the most significant improvements allows users to mount NVGs to their helmet more easily with the use of just one hand.

“Operators of the new NVG mount and battery pack will need little or no training,” said Justin Watlington, Chief Pilot at ASU. “The transition will be seamless.”

He added that the companies addressed several issues with the legacy NVG mounts which included reoccurring breakage. “One problem that we saw time and again was cracking and breaking of the sidebars on the goggle mount,” He said. “While working through the Wilcox Industries engineering process, we resolved this and several other issues that resulted in a far more durable mount.”

Unlike current NVG mounts, Justin explained that the new design allows for the replacement of the broken part, not the entire unit and at a fraction of the cost. It’s greater endurance, seamless training transition and reduced wear from day-to-day use is a budget-friendly upgrade.

Testing is already underway on the mount and battery pack, which exceeds DO-275 and Technical Standard Order C-164 standards. ASU anticipates receiving certification in the fall of 2016 and pricing will be announced when full production begins this fall.
