Anteris Alliance: A Pillar of Patriots!

January 13th, 2017

Anteris Alliance

anteris: (Latin) – noun – support, pillar, buttress
Anteris Alliance: an organizational network of outdoor manufacturers and service providers bonded by their dedication to support our Veterans and First Responders and their families through the manufacture and market insertion of top quality products and services!

Scottsdale, AZ (Jan 2017) – Anteris Alliance, LLC, brings together a network of manufacturers and service providers that are integrally dedicated to the mission field of our military veterans and first-responders. By joining arms with other companies in a formal network, Anteris Alliance generates and builds stakeholder partnerships providing discounts to its members by reducing overhead and further driving the ability of give back through company growth.

“When a company dedicated to our nation’s servicemen and women has a built-in percentage of sales that goes directly to the charities that support them, it only makes sense that the more successful that company is, and the greater its sales, the greater its ability to support those foundations,” states Casey Betzold – CEO of Anteris Alliance. “We recognize the best way for companies to make a difference is to vote with our dollar bills. Our goal is to generate support from the ground up, fostering company growth and increasing sales and services through greater exposure, events, and networking!”

The Alliance, already comprised of a large association of companies both in and out of the outdoor industry, has much planned for 2017, starting with the Try & Buy 2017 Distributor event happening January 15-16, at the Pro Gun Club, Las Vegas. This event will bring together the Alliance of corporate members to exhibit their products and services as they are intended to be used to buyers and media members in the outdoor network. Future events, which will benefit veteran and first responder charities, and will be open to the general public, are already being planned for March, April, May, and June of this year with more expected to be locked in soon. Watch for the next big event planned for March 25 at the Cowtown Range, just outside of Phoenix, AZ, hosted by Anteris Alliance corporate members Gnat Warfare, PD Warehouse, and Riton Optics! Advance ticket sales will go live online at www.anterisalliance.com soon!

Anteris Alliance focuses on several ways to generate increased support to great vet and first responder charities:

1. Build and utilize the Alliance to increase corporate member growth allowing them greater opportunity to maximize their give back (which is already a part of the fabric of their company).

2. Host and sponsor events which have a charity component tied to the event with between 50-100% of the generated proceeds going to the event’s selected charities.

3. Individual member platform offered to any patriot who wants to be part of the mission, and by attacking the mission from a business perspective, greater monies will be generated throughout the year allowing the Anteris Alliance to simply sit down and write some great donation checks to end out each year! Individual memberships can be purchased by emailing info@anterisalliance.com and are being offered in either annual or a limited number of lifetime memberships.

Anteris Alliance has also launched, via a partnership with Birdman Media – Patriot Edition, the Anteris Radio Network, which brings both a video and audio show to viewers and listeners alike to introduce them to the great company network members, awesome stories, and Veteran and First Responder VIPs! A full advertising package via the ARN is included in the annual corporate memberships! The podcast and YouTube channels can be accessed via: www.birdman.media/arn

PR and media questions can be directed to info@anterisalliance.com.

Interested Patriots of all kinds to include Manufacturers, Service Providers, Dealers, and Individuals can visit www.anterisalliance.com for more details and follow Anteris Alliance on social media on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

SILYNX Announces the Releases New Additions to CLARUS PRO Line of In-The-Ear Hearing Protection Systems

January 13th, 2017

STERLING, Virginia– Silynx Communications, Inc. is pleased to announce the expansion of its CLARUS PRO line of in-ear electronic hearing protection and communications systems at SHOT Show 2017 in Las Vegas Nevada.

Whether the shooter is on the firing line or needing to take a phone call, the CLARUS PRO hearing protection products never must be removed. They are designed to solve hearing protection problems that the recreational shooter simply tolerated because there were no other options. Like their predecessor CLARUS PRO, the CLARUS PRO RECHARGE and CLARUS LITE are designed to be worn all day. They are ideal for range masters and trainers who are surrounded by high noise for extended periods.

Shooters invest thousands of dollars in their gun, their optics, their eyewear, their ammo, then they insert two cents worth of foam in their ears. It is time that they start investing in protecting their hearing as well. CLARUS PRO and LITE offer protection with hearing enhancement and comfort made for all day wear.

The CLARUS PRO LITE is a military grade in-ear electronic hearing protection enhancement system unlike any other in the industry. The CLARUS PRO LITE incorporates the same proprietary, high-grade electronics used in all its products while simplifying the feature set to make it ideal for competitive and recreational shooting.

The CLARUS PRO RECHARGE is powered by a lithium ion rechargeable battery. The CLARUS PRO RECHARGE is a military grade in-ear electronic hearing protection enhancement system that includes an auxiliary port for connecting to a smartphone, field radio, or other audio device. The in-line noise cancelling microphone ensures that your voice is heard even in noisy environments.

The CLARUS PRO LITE is offered at an MSRP of just $159.00, while the CLARUS RECHARGE is offered at an MSRP of only $269.00.
