TYR Tactical Southern Pines Grand Opening This Weekend
March 26th, 2014Since 2010 our goal has always been to make each design feel like it was custom made for you, The Next Generation Warrior®. Our next evolution starts now. Please join us as we celebrate the Grand Opening of our first east coast facility, TYR Tactical™ Southern Pines.
Our Mission:
Southern Pines primary purpose is to act as a Custom Shop and “TYRORIZE” facility. The Custom Shop will allow you to take one of the five available platforms (PICO-DA, PICO-MV, PICO-MVS, COMA001, Ultra Low Vis Plate Carrier for the Velocity ULV Plate) and customize it with already existing TYR Tactical™ pouches. “Customization” refers to hard sewing pre-existing TYR Tactical™ pouches/MOLLE to one of the 5 above platforms. TYRORIZE \’tir-o-rise\ [adv] Meaning to modify or enhance an operator’s existing nylon or armored equipment.
Why Southern Pines?
Southern Pines is a perfect spot. We looked elsewhere in the region, but that community was the only one that felt like a second home. Fort Bragg is obviously a major hub for the Army, I wanted to be in a place with a great quality of life that was also positioned strategically to help our company grow. For us, Southern Pines is that place, so this move makes total sense.
Why Now?
TYR Tactical™ is a fast paced and growing company. This move is the culmination of 2 years of planning. Our objective is to bring the innovation, style and quality of manufacturing that every TYR Tactical™ product has to the east coast.
Can I order online and pick it up at TYR Tactical™ Southern Pines?
Yes. TYRTactical.com will offer a “SOPO Will Call” shipping option. A $5 handling fee will apply. This is because items will still be manufactured in Peoria, AZ and sent in biweekly freight shipments to Southern Pines. All online order status and expedite requests will still handled at our flagship location in Peoria, AZ.
Hours of Operation:
Monday – Friday
9am – 5pm
By Appointment Only

Looks Dangerous To Me
March 26th, 2014I am by no means a gunfighter but I can certainly recognize when something is dangerous on a range, and this looks dangerous. What do you think?
The video is a production of American Defense Enterprises, a small training company located in the Los Angeles area. Here’s a trailer they produced to pitch a reality series. Entitled, “The Professionals” by their own admission, they “do dangerous things.”
Scott Blackwell Steps Down From President of Marketing and Sales for Remington
March 26th, 2014Scott Blackwell has been working with Remington frontman George Kollitides since 2006. Earlier today, Kollitides announced via internal memo that his longtime friend and advisor Blackwell was leaving his position as President of marketing and Sales for Remington Outdoor Company, effective immediately.
It is with sadness that I announce the departure of Scott Blackwell, President of Remignton Outdoor Company. Since 2006, I have relied on Scott as an advisor, business partner and friend. His loyalty and dedication to our Company and its people are unrivaled.
As President, Scott has overseen sales, marketing and the P&L’s as well as working hand-in-hand with me to develop our strategy.
The mark of a great leader is the people they recruit, develop and grow. Fortunately, Scott is such a person; he is leaving behind a world-class team, and both Scott and I are confident they will rise to the challenge. In fact, I believe this is why Scott has decided now is the time to pursue other opportunities. He is confident in the team he has put in place and wants to see them flourish.
Effective immediately, and until further notice, Scott’s direct reports will report to me.
Please join me in wishing Scott all the best in his future endeavors and thanking him for his deep loyalty and long service to our Company.
