The Military Notebook Cover System
November 5th, 2017In a heated situation, you need to access that mission critical information fast. Lives can depend upon it. The new notebook cover system combines the “tried-and-trueness” of past notebook covers with the ability to individualize each cover – truly making daily use of the cover an enjoyable experience.
The Military Notebook Cover System has been designed to accommodate a variety of outdoor field data books and small binders. A 6 x 8″ military notebook fits nicely in the main compartment. Fits most commercially available sniper data books (STTU Sniper Data Book, Snipercraft Sniper Data Book, TSSI Waterproof Marksman’s Data Book, and the US Tactical Supply Sniper Data Book.
The Military Notebook Cover System is pretty functional as is – but the option to include cover Add-ons gives each user the option to really deck the cover out the way you always wanted to. Cover Add-ons (such as detachable Lexan envelopes, pacing beads, elastic marker loops, etc…) can be positioned exactly where you want them for easy access.
Available in black, coyote brown and multicam, this rugged cover is made from head to toe with military spec. materials. Completely manufactured in the USA.

November 4th, 2017 
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut – November 2, 2017 – In a market flooded with multitools and pocket gizmos, standing out from the crowd is no easy feat, especially on Kickstarter. With a unique shape and carry options, Covert Products Group’s new B.A.T. TRIDENT multitool moves the conversation of EDC tools in a totally new direction.
Inspired by the familiar silhouette of side-release buckles (as found on backpacks and bags), the B.A.T. TRIDENT expands on CPG’s “bring anywhere tool” concept that debuted on Kickstarter last year. The TRIDENT – which launched this week on Kickstarter – is engineered to contain 12+ useful functions in a compact, ergonomic and highly “carry-able” package. From daily utility to survival, the TRIDENT is designed to be carried (almost) anywhere, excel at a variety of tasks, and look good doing it.
“The perfect tool isn’t so perfect if you don’t have it with you,” explains the TRIDENT’s designer Thom O’Leary. “The TRIDENT is big enough to be useful, but small enough to carry just about anywhere, either visibly or covertly. Slip it onto a backpack strap, belt, keychain, or carry it in your pocket.”
The TRIDENT functions include:
· Phillips head screwdriver
· Razor edge
· Sharp piercing point
· Captured cutter
· Flat head screwdriver/pry tip
· Wire stripper
· Serrated fire rod scraper
· Saw edge
· Laser-etched 1” ruler
· Ergonomic bottle opener operated with the tool safely held in the sheath
· Fire starter rod (included) OR swap it out for an optional EmbriteTM glow pellet from TEC Accessories
· 3M SOLAS reflective sticker
· And the TRIDENT’s molded Kydex Sheath is designed to allow multiple attachment options for everyday carry
The TRIDENT is available now through December 1st on Kickstarter, with lowest prices available for early adopters. The TRIDENT will ship during or before March 2018.

Armageddon Gear – The Original Gamechanger
November 4th, 2017If you participate in any form of precision rifle shooting, whether professionaly, competitively, or just for fun, you should check out Armageddon Gear. Founder Tom Fuller started making products for the best reason there is; because he needed them. The OG is one of their latest.
The design finds its roots in Reasor Precision’s simple solver that changed the game of positional shooting. Origins of Reasor’s grasping front support bag for firearm stability began with a specific shape, heavy-poly fill blend and pliable shell to yield the most effective and versatile solution developed for those uncomfortable positions that marksmen used to dread. The OG embodies the original Gamechanger in exact geometry, consistent fill and even a specially selected 1000D Cordura to replicate the feel that made this bag so great.
Specifications:
-1000D Cordura fabric available in Coyote Tan and Multicam
-Includes two handles on opposite ends for ambidextrous use
-Total weight of over 6 pounds and filled with Reasor Precision Solutions approved recycled plastic fill
-Zipper access to adjust fill to user desired ratio
Dimensions:
approximately 10″ Long
7″ Tall
6″ Wide
Proudly made in the USA!
