TACOMHQ – TARAC Optical Accessory
Friday, January 6th, 2017This year TACOMHQ is introducing the TARAC an optical accessory that adds 1.0 MOA to 120+ MILs to any optic for additional range (with additional “zeroes”) and automatically compensates for bullet drop for you.
Todd Hodnet Approved, the TARAC is military purchased and tested, and is available in the Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie TARAC.
The Alpha TARAC is a 500 yrd 1.25” lens pop-up for ARs to immediately switch from CQB (close quarter battles) to 500 yrds in secs.
The Bravo TARAC is 2.25″ lens pop-up designed for ARs and scopes. Set your Bravo TARAC as 500 yrd pop-up for ARs, or set your Bravo to boost your scope’s total operating range by adding up to 30.0 MOA. (Adaptable for either application in secs.)
The Charlie TARAC is long range 10 to 120+ MILs scope boosting accessory that can add 10’s of MILs of additional range instantly with an accessory that can fit in your pocket. With the Charlie there is NO distortion, light loss, or chromatic aberration. There’s no need for special scope mounts, adjustable height rings, slanted picatinny rails, or change in cheek position. Nothing.
I’ve heard about this from a couple of different guys who’ve used it and they’ve told me that it’s hard to wrap your head around until you’ve used it, so stop by their booth and check it out.Visit TACOMHQ at booth #N388 in the Next Area on the third floor, near the Press Room.
N-Vision Optics Announces New Wide Field of View PVS-15 Night Vision Binocular
Friday, January 6th, 2017
N-Vision Optics is proud to announce our new Wide Field of View (WFOV) PVS-15 Night Vision Binocular. The WFOV PVS-15 features a ground-breaking 80° wide circular field of view without compromising optical resolution, size, weight, or power consumption (SWaP). The WFOVB PVS-15 is developed and built by Kent Optronics, where their proprietary foveal design of the objective and eyepiece lenses, provide the wide FOV with a high, on-axis resolution.
he 80° FOV is twice as wide as that of the standard AN/PVS-15 NVG. The limited 40° FOV of standard AN/PVS-15 NVGs restricts the off axis detection, and thus hinders peripheral vision. In addition, aggressive head scanning is necessary for maintaining minimal situational awareness, which presents the possibility of disorientation, neck strain, and fatigue for operators. The increased FOV guarantees a true 2-dimensional (2-d) wide area coverage in a much more compact and lightweight package.
WFOV PVS-15 is available as a retrofit for the standard AN/PVS-15 system or can be purchased as a brand new wide field of view binocular.

Nielsen-Kellerman to Showcase Kestrel Elite Ballistics Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics Software and LiNK at 2017 SHOT Show
Thursday, January 5th, 2017Boothwyn, PA – Nielsen-Kellerman (NK), creators and manufacturers of Kestrel® Ballistics Weather Meters, has announced they will be featuring their Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and LiNK, among many other innovative and sought-after products, integrations and strategic partnerships at the Kestrel booth (#1946) at the 2017 SHOT Show in Las Vegas.
The Kestrel Elite takes the guesswork out of long-range shooting, even out to the transonic and subsonic flight range of your bullet. This next-generation integrated weather meter and ballistics calculator provides shooters with up-to-the-minute accurate wind speed and air density measurements combined with the full functionality of the highly regarded Applied Ballistics® solver engine and manufacturer-specific bullet flight model database. All this power is packed into a small four-ounce, rugged instrument that is easy to carry and use and proven through years of tough strategic use.
The Kestrel Elite is available with optional LiNK connectivity powered by Bluetooth low energy, which provides you with the power of the free Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app. The app allows shooters to build and manage gun/bullet profiles and download them to the Kestrel 5700 Elite; in addition to providing the extensive Litz library of custom bullet drag models for the most precise transonic and subsonic range solutions available anywhere.
LiNK enabled units can also be paired with LiNK compatible laser range finders, like the Safran Vectronix PLRF25C which offers snipers/spotters, marksmen and forward observers the smallest and most powerful MIL-SPEC Laser Range Finder on the market today. The ergonomic design of the Vectronix PLRF25C allows for one-handed use, with the one-button operation being intuitive and easy-to-learn. Ranging measurements up to 6,000m, as well as accurate angle measurements, are no problem for the compact (measuring only 131x88x55mm), and lightweight (430g) rangefinder. The PLRF25C features 6x magnification capability and is tactically proven in the most demanding environments.
The Kestrel Elite is also offered as a package with the Bushnell Elite 1 Mile CONX Laser Rangefinder. The two products work seamlessly together; with each target range data being transmitted to the paired Kestrel for instant calculation of an elevation hold. The data is then sent to the Kestrel and handed back to the rangefinder for display in the viewfinder. The Bushnell Elite 1 Mile CONX is accurate against reflective targets up to 1,760 yards and sends both inclination angle and range data to the Kestrel Elite for accurate high angle shots.
Like all Kestrel meters, the Kestrel Elite is drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand harsh environments without damage – so it can accompany you to the range or hunt for years to come. A range of carry pouch options makes it even easier to take your unit with you.
“At Nielsen-Kellerman, we take great pride in being able to provide the same trusted accuracy, reliability, and usability in every generation of the Kestrel Ballistic and Weather Meters,” stated Nielsen-Kellerman CEO, Alix James. “Each Kestrel model is designed with its users in mind, and this upgraded version of the Kestrel Elite proves our commitment to innovation and making the best products available to all shooters.”
In addition to the Elite with LiNK, NK will also have several of their other favorite products for order during the course of the show, including:
• Kestrel Sportsman
• Kestrel DROP D3
• Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter
The full line of products is available at KestrelBallistics.com, the company’s new site, which provides users with all the information, products and resources they need for success in long-range shooting. Visitors to the site will be able to purchase products beyond the Kestrel units – as it is designed as a one-stop shop for shooting accessories. Products available include: Nightforce and Bushnell scopes, Bushnell rangefinders, MagnetoSpeed chronographs, and Full Spectrum Solutions shooting mats.
Attendees will be able to receive special SHOT Show pricing on any Kestrel Ballistics products. Kestrel will also host industry partners and ballistics experts, Bryan Litz, Nick Vitalbo and Todd Hodnett every afternoon at 2:00 at their booth for a Q&A session. Subjects range from ballistic calculating, to windage and predicting environmentals for a long range shot.
