That’s Not How Any Of This Works
July 20th, 2016Pre-Fit Carbon Fiber Barrels and Steel Barrels for the Ruger Precision Rifle Now Available from PROOF Research
July 20th, 2016
Columbia Falls, MT (June 2016) —PROOF Research, makers of match-grade stainless steel barrels, and carbon-fiber composite barrels that deliver extreme accuracy, durability and up to a 50% weight reduction, are now offering barrels for the popular Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) in two different installation configurations (Pre-Fit and Gunsmith-Friendly).
The new barrels have already been proven in competition with Wyatt Gibson using his to take 1st Place in the 2016 MGM Ironman, finishing 138 points ahead of the next-best shooter. According to Wyatt, “The PROOF Research carbon fiber barrel on my Ruger Precision Rifle made a huge difference in weight while not compromising accuracy. I have nothing but good things to say about it.”
“Pre-Fit” barrels for the RPR are available in steel or carbon fiber, arrive ready for installation without further machining required, and are chambered in a choice of .308 Win, .243 Win, .260 Rem, 6mm Creedmoor and 6.5 Creedmoor.
The un-chambered “Gunsmith-Friendly” version (available in stainless steel only) comes threaded for the RPR action with a 27-inch finish length, scaled-down M24 contour, available in a number of popular calibers, and is ready for a gunsmith to chamber, cut to length, crown, and install.
“Our cut-rifled stainless steel barrels have been proven in one competition after another and our composite barrels offer similar performance with 60% faster cooling and a significant reduction in weight,” stated Jason Lincoln, VP of Engineering and Product Development at PROOF Research. “These new barrel designs make it easy for Ruger Precision Rifle owners to upgrade their platforms, whether they want to reduce weight, tune handling characteristics, or to realize maximum accuracy”.

ADS Inc / Phokus Research Group / Cardiac Science – AED and Bleeding Control Pack
July 20th, 2016At Warrior East, I found out that ADS Inc, Phokus Research Group and Cardiac Science have teamed up to offer an AED and Bleeding Control Pack solution for wall mount installation. Not that many years ago, Automated External Defibrillators were only used by medical personnel and it was rare to find one outside of a medical facility. Today, they are more sophisticated and found everywhere. They are used to restart the heart after a sudden cardiac arrest which can strike those with a variety of conditions.
Unfortunately, mass casualty events such as mass shootings have become more common over the past few years so it seems obvious to combine a Cardiac Science AED with Phokus Research Group’s bleeding control packs.
In addition to the Cardiac Science AED, the box also contains a kit filled with Individual Bleeding Control Kits consisting of Quickclot dressing, Tourniquet, Z-fold sterile frog gauze, chest seals, medical frog tape, nitrile gloves and a rescue blanket. What’s more, the wall mounted boxes can be alarmed to alert medical and security personnel when they are used.
Available for agency and unit purchase through ADS Inc.

Roy is a frequent contributor to online magazines, print magazines, and has recently authored several books on leadership, tactics, and survival.
Mr Woodall offered us this description of ‘The Art Of Warrior Leadership’:
As I look around the world today it is easy to identify lots of problems. Pointing to a problem and complaining loudly is easy; fixing the problem is hard. In the military and later in my law enforcement career I was taught a basic code on how to conduct myself. These principles are the foundation that I choose to live by today. Imagine what could be accomplished if today’s leaders whether they wear a uniform or civilian clothes lived by just these six fundamental character traits.
• Courage
• Honor
• Responsibility
• Integrity
• Truthfulness
• Ownership
Anyone who has ever thought of leadership is easy has never been confronted with a complex ethical dilemma. People, problems, and situations are a difficult and it is rare when a decision does not have some negative consequences for somebody or something. Doing the right thing and making hard decisions is what leaders get paid for. Never forget that leadership is a privilege. These six words need to be more than just suggestions, much more. To all the warrior leaders out there, stay safe and be value added every day. The world needs you now more than ever.
