Saturday, October 17th, 2015 
ONTARIO, Calif. – Building on the momentum from her wins at the Western U.S. Championship in Las Vegas, Nev., Team Bianchi’s Kenda Lenseigne added another buckle to her collection at the 2015 Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) Arizona State Championship. Finishing the competition almost 1.5 seconds ahead of her nearest rival, she once again led the women’s division and dusted the men’s division, as well.
“My last two matches have seen a lot of improvements in the competitive package I’m bringing to the sport,” said an elated Lenseigne. “My Bianchi holsters have always been the fastest and best in the business, and now my new horse is proving herself a winner among champions.”
The coming weeks see Lenseigne hitting the pavement to defend her current World Champion title. Her road to the World Championship started with the Lone Star Classic in Vernon, TX on October 9. The following week, fans in Amarillo, Texas will see the fastest single action shooters on horseback compete for the chance to be crowned this year’s World Champion title.
As one of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting’s most renowned competitors, Lenseigne is a four-time World Champion, two-time Overall National Champion, four-time World Point Champion and she has set 11 world records. As a precursor to her most recent win, Lenseigne clocked the fastest overall time at the CMSA Western United States Championship in August.

Things You See While Visiting The Acropolis
Friday, October 16th, 2015 
I was on Beyond’s cutting floor and ran across this intriguing piece of fabric on the Eastman cutter.
AUSA – Laser Technology Inc
Thursday, October 15th, 2015This is the TruPulse Tactical Laser Range Finder from Laser Technology Inc.
Fully programmable, the TruPulse allows the user to program up to five different cartridges, either on the device or via software and a data cable. Additionally, the TruPulse incorporates an onboard barometric sensor and thermometer. Additionally, the user can program wind calls into the device to compute holds. The TruPulse has 7x magnification with 110 yd FOV at 1000 yards. Using a 905 nm infrared pulse laser, it offers a measurement range of 10-2500 yards with a maximum compensated range of 1400 yards. It also commutes tilt.
Powered by a CR123A, expect 8-10 hours it’s average use but 4-5 with intensive use.
AUSA – TEA 20m Kit
Thursday, October 15th, 2015Television Equipment Associates’ 20m kit consists of the Sub Assault Lightweight Tactical Headset, cable, PTT. Certified to IP-68 and MIL-STD 810G, the gear is also offered in 1m and 3m versions. The Headset incorporates an adjustable neckband as well as temple conduction speakers. This keeps the ears unobstructed. The boom mic can be specified by the customer from several choices.
AUSA – Close Up of National Molding’s Rigid Plate Carrier PALS Compatible Sleeve
Wednesday, October 14th, 2015After we mentioned the National Molding Rigid Plate Carrier during Modern Day Marine, several readers were dismayed that they wouldn’t be able to carry any additional equipment on the carrier. National Moldong long ago worked this one out and originally had a very simple laser cut, bikini-style band made from Trelleborg fabric that fit around the RPC. Interstingly, the feedback they received from government customers was to go back to a tried and true Cordura and webbing PALS solution.
AUSA – Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp
Wednesday, October 14th, 2015Hyperstealth frontman Guy Cramer was in the ADS Inc booth sporting a uniform cut from the Ghostex Kilo 6 camouflage pattern. An international customer was well into making a procurement decision when their armed forces streamlined their camouflage patterns into two variants. Consequently, Hyperstealth is shopping the pattern.
When I passed by later, Hyperstealth had added two displays from the Mexican Marines, depicting the kit they are procuring in their new camouflage pattern, derived from work Hyperstealth did for Phase IV of the US Army’s Camouflage Improvement Effort.
Obviously, there is a great deal of influence from the USMC but I was surprised to see the RAT boot on the chart. 
You’ll also note some equipment items from London Bridge.
