Putting the “Combat” Back in Combat Boots
November 11th, 2014In addition to the announcement that US Army is transitioning to Coyote colored boots, they’ve made another revelation.
It looks like SMA Chandler’s crusade to police up the Army’s boots is going to affect the Coyote swap. Although no details have been released, all new Coyote styles in Coyote color sold through AAFES will have to meet as-yet-published performance guidelines under the new UQCP for Uniform Quality Control Program.
The concept is that any optional wear footwear will have to be submitted for evaluation and then carry an “approval”. The intent is noble; any footwear a Soldier wears should be able to live up to its name of Combat Boots. In short, no more garrison boots.
Obviously, details are scarce. The real question is if this is going to hurt or help Berry compliant producers. On one hand they will be the only ones getting the certification. This assuredly won’t be offered to non-Berry boots. On the other, we know that offshore boots will continue to be sold and worn without the additional cost associated with the certification.

Daniel Horner Wins 3-Gun Nation Pro Series Championship With PROOF Research Carbon-Fiber Barrel
November 10th, 2014Daniel Horner, a Staff Sergeant from the US Army Marksman Unit recently won the 2014 3-Gun Nation Pro Series Championship using a PROOF Research Carbon-Fiber Barrel. The full release can be read below:
Tulsa, OK / October 25, 2014 – Horner, a Staff Sergeant from the U.S. Army Marksman Unit (AMU) battled 32 of the nation’s top 3-Gun competitors for the National Champion title, including two exciting final man-on-man elimination matches against fellow AMU Shooting Team member, Sgt. Matthew Sweeney.
The 2014 3-Gun Nation (3GN) Pro Series Championship Finale was the culmination of a six-event series held throughout the year, in which shooters competed in the same division, Tactical Optics, in a heads-up points race to qualify for the season-ending finale and a shot at the crown.
After having switched from a 12.5” steel barrel just weeks before, Horner used a 16” PROOF Research carbon fiber barrel to dominate the rifle portion of the match. “We are incredibly excited for Daniel,” stated a PROOF Research representative. “Competition at this level is decided in 10ths of seconds and one point at a time. For Daniel to have chosen our barrel for the Finale is a real honor.”
Horner’s win makes him the only competitor to have won two 3GN Championships since the series began in 2010. In addition to his title Horner took home a $50,000 check courtesy of Leupold Tactical Optics and NRA Sports. The Championship was filmed for broadcast later this year on Sportsman Channel and Pursuit Network.
