WILDCraft: South Africa, Season One now Streaming Available on Amazon Prime Instant Video

October 28th, 2019

Columbia, SC, October 24, 2019 – WILDCraft Entertainment is excited to announce the release of Season One, WILDCraft: South Africa, on Amazon Prime Instant Video. Presented by SIG Sauer, the four episodes explore the adventures of four professional outdoor writers experiencing a remote tent camp safari for free-range kudu and other species. It is the first of its kind, reality based, documentary, hunting drama, ever produced explicitly for Amazon Prime Instant Video. Click HERE to watch.

Filmed in 4K Ultra HD on location in South Africa’s Northern Cape, by some of the best videographers in the business, WILDCraft: South Africa is an attempt to capture the true essence of hunting and the camaraderie of the campfire. The cast includes renowned African professional hunter Geoffrey Wayland, Gun Digest Editor Luke Hartle, Petersen’s Hunting contributor Joe Afterburn, talented photographer Alfredo Rico, and freelance outdoor writer Richard Mann.

WILDCraft South Africa is the vision of the series producer and host, Richard Mann who said, “Hunting television has mostly become a venue for want-to-be celebrities looking to pound their chests and become famous. I wanted to capture what hunting was really about and the incredible fellowship that is shared around the hunter’s campfire. I knew Fernando Coelho could capture this on video better than anyone and that Geoffrey Wayland could provide the proper venue. With those two on board, assembling a cast of professional communicators who hunt for the right and real reasons was all that was left.”

Director Fernando Coelho was very excited to be involved with the project. Coelho said, “The concept of the WILDCraft series intrigued me when Richard first mentioned it. I was tired of the traditional hunting shows on television and felt that we could capture what it’s really like to hunt. When we scouted locations in South Africa and I met Geoffrey Wayland from Fort Richmond Safaris, I knew we had the right place to make it happen. After lots of hard work, I feel we accomplished what we set out to do. I also feel people will appreciate the content from the series.”

WILDCraft: South Africa is available streaming direct from Amazon Prime Instant video: watch.amazon.com

Season Two of WILDCraft is now in the pre-production stage and sponsor opportunities are available.

US Air Force Remote Combat Effects Campaign Medal

WASHINGTON (AFNS) —
Air Force officials announced nomination criteria for the new Remote Combat Effects Campaign Medal following the official establishment of the decoration May 22.

The new medal, established by then-Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, is part of a continuing effort to recognize U.S. Air Force military members in a non-deployed status who directly participated in a Department of Defense combat operation from a remote location.

“Our remote operations community makes vital contributions to our national security and the security of our allies,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein. “These Airmen play a crucial role in every campaign we undertake, and this medal is for them.”

The RCECM will be awarded to Airmen serving in remotely piloted aircraft, cyber, space and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance career fields, who create direct combat effects from remote locations and lead to strategic outcomes or the delivery of lethal force. In some circumstances, Airmen from other career fields may be considered for the RCECM, which will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Service members may be awarded the RCECM for actions completed on or after Sept. 11, 2001, while also serving under the following conditions:
1) Was assigned or attached to a unit directly in support of a DoD combat operation as approved by the chief of staff of the Air Force (listed below)
2) Was serving in a remotely piloted aircraft; cyber; space or intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance career field
3) Personally provided hands-on employment of a weapon system that has direct and immediate impact on combat operations
4) Was not physically exposed to hostile actions or at risk of exposure to hostile action

Qualifying DoD combat operations:
• Enduring Freedom, Sept. 11, 2001 – to be determined
• Iraqi Freedom, March 29, 2003 – Aug. 31, 2010
• New Dawn, Sept. 1, 2010 – Dec. 31, 2011
• Nomad Shadow, Nov. 5, 2007 – TBD
• Freedom’s Sentinel, Jan. 1, 2015 – TBD
• Inherent Resolve, June 15, 2014 – TBD
• Odyssey Lightning, Aug. 1, 2016 – Dec. 19, 2016
• Pacific Eagle – Philippines, Oct. 5, 2017 – TBD

Airmen who have received a DoD or Air Force campaign or expeditionary medal or ribbon for the same period of service are not eligible to receive the RCECM.

For more information and full eligibility criteria or submission procedures, visit myPers at mypers.af.mil and enter “RCECM” in the search window. A fact sheet and graphic is also available on the Air Force’s Personnel Center website.

Introducing the Arisaka Offset Scout Mount and Indexer for the Geissele SMR 416

October 28th, 2019

The new Arisaka Offset Scout Mount for Geissele SMR 416 handguards screws directly into the threaded inserts on the rail and is designed to allow Surefire Scout lights and Modlite PLH/OKW lights to fit next to NGAL, LA-5/PEQ, AN/PEQ15 and ATPIAL-C laser illuminators.

The Indexer is a continuation of our low profile, minimal control accessories. It features a slim front-to-back profile and slight radius across both faces. Placed between two fingers or at the rear of the hand, it aids in shouldering and controlling the rifle, and also makes for an excellent barricade stop.

Like the Offset Scout Mount, the Indexer screws directly into the threaded inserts on the Geissele SMR 416 handguard.

Stuck with the regular HK quad rail? Don’t fret, we have you covered with our Side Scout Mount and Finger Stop for Picatinny rails.

Available and shipping now.
