Extreme Shock Ammunition

CLINTWOOD, VA --(Ammoland.com)- Extreme Shock is at it again,

we have improved the .223 100 grain ASP (Advanced Subsonic Product).

In the ASP’s inception, Extreme Shock designed the bullet to function

the Colt M4 battle rifle at subsonic velocities in full automatic.

However, due to it’s popularity, shooters was using the round in various

weapon platforms. However, there is a quite a difference in the military

M4 as opposed to commercially marketed AR-15 series of rifles. The

military M4 chamber is larger than the commercial ARs.

This resulted in the Extreme Shock technicians and ballisticians

developing in 2 separate subsonic loads. Designing subsonic

ammunition is a delicate art, there is no one size fits all as with other

ammunition. To achieve subsonic velocity one must change the powder,

powder charge and seating depth. Extreme Shock has the only 100

grain .223 subsonic round that will fully function a military M4 and/or

commercial developed AR-15s. You’ll have to hear it to believe it. No

modifications to the weapon.

With noise comparable to a large air gun, the ASP gives the operator

total stealth to achieve their objectives. Get in, get out without being

heard!

Shock Ammunition, please visit www.extremeshockusa.net, call Extreme

sighed in relief. And all the while, he wore a smile that seemed to warm

up an otherwise frigid winter day.

Such was the range of emotions displayed as DPMS’ James Darst won

three breathtaking match-ups on his way to the most closely contested

Shoot-Off to date on the FNH USA 3-Gun Nation Tour, Presented by

SureFire. The win netted the veteran 3-gunner a check for $5,000,

courtesy of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).

“NSSF is proud to support 3-Gun Nation,” said Chris

Dolnack, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer,

NSSF.

“Three-gun competition is quickly gaining popularity with

new and experienced shooters nationwide and 3-Gun Nation

is the perfect vehicle to promote this fast-growing sport. We

hope our partnership with 3-Gun Nation only will further its

success in captivating a broad audience with the fun and

excitement of the shooting sports.”

Darst’s remarkable run began with a first-round match-up against

Noveske’s Rob Romero, winner of the 3GN Shoot-Off following FNH

Midwest 3-Gun in May. At the horn, Romero exploded out of the start

box and was first to the gun table, cleaning the rifle rack and building an

early lead he maintained through shotgun and into the final pistol plate

rack. But Romero stumbled, just slightly, missing on a pistol plate; and

that’s when Darst came roaring on by. Darst went one-for-one on the

pistol rack, before missing the stop plate once and then knocking it down

just a fraction of a second before Romero—an incredible finish.

In the second round, it was more of the same, as Darst faced 3GN

newcomer Greg Jordan, who qualified out of Tactical Optics. This time, it

was Darst who raced out to the early lead as Jordan struggled on the

rifle. However, Darst dropped one shot on the shotgun as Jordan pushed

the pace and ran the shotgun portion cleanly. Darst dropped one plate on

the pistol rack as Jordan continued to close the gap; but Darst had just

enough of a lead, as he knocked over his stop plate a mere half-second

before Jordan. The finish left Darst visibly spent as he walked off the

firing line before a roaring crowd.

With two narrow escapes under his belt, Darst stepped to the line for the

final run against Taran Butler. Racing even to the gun table, Darst

opened up an early lead by cleaning the rifle plates first. But then Butler

accelerated through an amazing shotgun run, narrowing the lead to an

easy closing distance going into the final pistol rack. Butler, known as

one of the fastest pistol shooters in the country, with several USPSA and

IDPA titles to his credit, was now in contention.

But Darst, known more for his rifle skills than his pistol shooting, as he

had in his two earlier match-ups, laid down a phenomenal pistol run of

his own, missing only one plate as Butler narrowed the gap. Darst

transitioned to the stop plate first, a half-second ahead of Butler, who

ripped four successive shots at his own stop plate in an effort to pound it

past Darst’s already moving plate. But in the end, it was Darst’s plate

that fell first, giving the Texan his first 3GN victory.

Darst’s first win on the 3GN Tour couldn’t have come at a better time:

the 3GN Shoot-Off, co-branded with Fort Benning 3-Gun Challenge’s

already successful shoot-off venue, saw an impressive prize table. Not

only did Darst walk away with a Lancer lower for placing second overall

in the Open division, but his Shoot-Off performance netted him a DPMS

3G1 rifle fitted with a Leupold 1.1-8X CQBSS, along with a SureFire

Muzzle Brake and Micro Fast-Attach Suppressor—all in addition to the

$5,000 check from the NSSF.

Butler, who also claimed the rifle package for finishing second, qualified

for his record sixth 3GN Shoot-Off by winning the Tactical Optics

division in the Fort Benning 3-Gun Challenge. His road to the finals

included a first-round win over Bryan Ray, winner of the Heavy Metal

division, and a second-round win over Robby Johnson, which provided a

bit a drama.

On their first run, Johnson jumped out to an early lead on rifle, cruised

through shotgun, and was first to the stop plate. But upon inspection of

the targets, Johnson failed to break one of the clay birds, thereby voiding

his run. But Butler, assuming he was defeated, stopped midway through

the pistol rack, not finishing the course of fire. Range Master Daniel

Horner and Match Director Aaron Hampton consulted, and a re-shoot

was granted. And on the second run, it was all Butler, who used his

second chance to advance to the final round of the 3GN Shoot-Off for a

record third time.

In another twist, Tactical Irons winner Kurt Miller, who had been

battling the flu all weekend, decided he was too ill to perform in the

FB3G-3GN Shoot-Off. So he turned over his slot to Katie Harris, an up-

and-coming 14-year-old junior shooter from Georgia. Harris, who drew

Johnson in the first round, was impressive in her 3GN debut, racing first

to the rifle and building a small, early lead over the former U.S. AMU

soldier. But Johnson prevailed, setting up his second-round match-up

with Butler.

In the consolation rounds, Romero knocked off Open division winner

Clint Upchurch, and Bryan Ray defeated Harris, to win a pair of HK

P30L 9 mm pistols. For advancing to the semi-finals, Johnson and

Jordan took home a pair of 12-gauge FNH USA SLP shotguns.

The eight-person 3GN Shoot-Off is a format like no other, where

competitors take on steel rifle, shotgun and pistol targets in a race to the

stop plate. To level the playing field, each competitor uses the same

firearms. At the Fort Benning 3-Gun Challenge, those firearms included:

DPMS 3G1 rifles topped with Leupold 1.1-8X CQBSS riflescopes and

fitted with SureFire Muzzle Brakes and Micro Suppressors; shotguns

were FNH USA SLP’s; and pistols used were HK P30L’s.

The next stop on the FNH USA 3-Gun Nation Tour, Presented by

SureFire, is Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun, March 25-27, 2011,

in Mesa, Arizona. Superstition will mark the third qualifying event on the

2011 3GN Tour, before the following points matches: Blue Ridge

Mountain 3-Gun, MGM Ironman, JP Enterprises Rocky Mountain 3-

Gun, Adams Arms Ozark 3-Gun Championship, and USPSA Multi-Gun

Nationals. The Tour will conclude following the FNH USA-3-Gun Nation

Championship, which is set for Nov. 10-12, in Glengary, W.V. As in 2010,

competitors will be vying for enough points to qualify for the 3GN

Championship, where the winner will take home $25,000, courtesy of

Leupold Tactical Optics. Multi-gun, or 3-gun, is a unique sport within

the discipline known as practical shooting. Considered the fastest

growing segment within the shooting sports, 3-gun challenges

competitors with rifle, pistol and shotgun, maneuvering through unique

stages of fire as fast as their skill will allow.

The National 3-Gun Association, through media properties “3-Gun

Nation Television,” and 3GunNation.com, was formed with one mission:

to promote practical shooting by shining a light on amateur and

professional shooters alike, as well as the guns, gear and lifestyle that

define the high-octane sport of 3-gun competition. Bringing never-

before-seen cash payouts to the table, 3-Gun Nation is quite simply

changing the game. 3 Guns. One Champion.

3-Gun Nation Television airs Mondays at 7:30 AM EST and Thursdays at

3 PM EST on Versus through December. Beginning July 2011, 3GN

moves to Sunday mornings at 7:30 EST and Thursdays at 10:30 AM EST.

Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership

WASHINGTON --(Ammoland.com)- Farm Bill programs such as

WHIP provide important resources so farmers and private landowners

can conserve key fish and wildlife habitat for species like the lesser

prairie chicken.

Sportsmen are celebrating a victory with the announcement of new

federal measures in support of private-lands conservation. Earlier this

month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a final rule for the

federal Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program that adds a new national

priority to restore and enhance wildlife habitat – much of which is

important to game species.

The new WHIP national priority is “to protect, restore, develop or

enhance important migration and other movement corridors for

wildlife.”

This new focus complements the four existing national WHIP priorities

that focus on activities benefitting native fish and wildlife habitats,

conservation of at-risk species, protection of declining or important

aquatic wildlife and reducing the impacts of invasive species on fish and

wildlife habitat.

Authorized under the 2008 Farm Bill, WHIP is a voluntary program for

conservation-minded landowners who want to develop and improve fish

and wildlife habitat on agricultural and private land. Since its

establishment in 1997, the program has resulted in habitat

improvements on approximately 6.5 million acres nationwide. The

program provides cost-share funding to farmers, ranchers and private

landowners for projects ranging from removing barriers to fish

migration in New England to establishing native warm-season grasses in

the Southeast.

The TRCP long has advocated for increased measures to conserve fish

and wildlife habitat and hunter access in the Farm Bill and is pleased to

see the USDA highlighting programs that improve fish and wildlife

habitat, sustain our waters and conserve energy.

Laserlyte

COTTONWOOD, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- LaserLyte, the leader in

laser technology for the shooting and hunting industry, is now shipping

the company’s most state-of-the-art, smallest and versatile rail mounted

laser to date; the LaserLyte Subcompact V3 laser.

Now, half the size of the previous model, the Subcompact V3 needs less

than ¾-inch of Picatinny rail space to easily mount onto even the

smallest firearms.

Constructed of T6 aluminum for extra strength and durability, this

updated unit offers a smart, cost-effective auto-off feature. If left on for

five minutes, the unit begins to display a unique flash for one minute,

indicating to the user that the unit will automatically shut off soon.

LaserLyte FSL-3 sight compared to a quarter

After one minute in flash mode the unit shuts itself off to extend battery

life, prevent accidental activation and battery depletion. Press the unit’s

button at any time to reset this feature for five more minutes.

The Subcompact V3 easily mounts with a hex drive crossbar screw and

features windage adjustment, elevation adjustment and programmable

constant on and pulse modes. Additionally, the unit is ideal for left- and

-right handed shooters with two separate activation buttons located on

Too Much Freedom..?DEC 07, 2010 11:26A.M.

Too Much Freedom..?

Too Much Freedom..? **

Georgia Gun Owners

Kennesaw, Georgia --(Ammoland.com)- Is there such a thing as “too

much freedom”?

Have you ever heard anyone say that?

I know I have especially from Republicans and Democrats.

Politicians can’t ever seem to get enough. A tinker here. An amendment

there. The end result is always the same — the shackles of government

become heavier. More burdensome.

When it comes to your right to defend yourself and your family, the

politicians in Washington and Atlanta have been chipping away for

decades.

As a consequence, criminals are stronger. They know that the actions of

statists in government empower them.

Our founding fathers knew this. Thomas Jefferson knew this:

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those

who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for

the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent

homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater

confidence than an armed one.”

The tendency of politicians is not to constrain the government, but to

constrain the people under the control of government. You and I have

become subjects. Subjects of an establishment class hell bent on

restricting your right to defend yourself and your family.

Politicians don’t trust you. They think they can protect you

better than you can protect yourself.

The good news is that you can do something about your freedom across

the USA and Georgia Gun Owners are working hard right here in

Georgia. By working together, you and I can remove the government

from the gun business.

It won’t happen unless you and I put pressure on our elected officials.

By demanding that our elected officials publicly support, cosponsor, and

call for a recorded, up or down roll-call vote on the Georgia REAL

Right-to-Carry Bill, liberty activists can separate the good guys from

the bad guys.

You and I can see who supports liberty . . . and who supports statism.

If you haven’t yet done so, please demand your legislators vote in favor of

liberty.

With your help, you and I can hold politicians accountable who think

there is such a thing as “too much freedom.”

Yours in liberty,

Patrick Parsons
