XS Sights Renames RAM Sights and Introduces New Line Extensions

From XS Sights

XS® Sights is changing the name of its popular 3-Dot RAM Night Sights to R3D Night Sights due to a trademark issue. The name change is effective immediately. XS is also pleased to introduce R3D Suppressor Height sights for Glock pistols.

“We always like to be smart with our resources and lengthy litigation wasn’t the way to go,” said Zack Kinsley, Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “To our support channel, please know it will not affect our forward momentum. We are excited to announce the new suppressor height line extensions for popular LE and aftermarket pistols, and we plan to continue with the R3D product line full speed ahead.”

The radioactive material night sights have a traditional 3-dot tritium and notch and post sight picture. The rear sight is blacked out to increase contrast against the front sight which is available in bright orange or green. XS’s proprietary Ember™ Glow Dot technology allows the front sight to absorb ambient light and glow in low light. The front tritium lamp in the R3D sight also charges the Ember Glow Dot, making the front sight glow brighter than the rear, keeping one’s focus down range.

Here’s more on the company’s DXT2 sights.

Other advantages of the R3D Night Sight:

  • The brightly colored Ember Glow Dot in the front sight is a much brighter color which differentiates the front dot from the two rear dots.
  • The notch is 15% wider than the front sight, allowing more visible light around the front sight. This makes it easier to see the front sight in changing light conditions and when shooting on the move, aiding in sight alignment, and increasing accuracy.

R3D Night Sights are CNC machined from bar-stock steel and treated with a rust-preventative coating making them extremely durable and reliable additions to your firearm. The R3D sights fit standard holster options and are designed for simple installation by hand or with a sight pusher tool.

R3D Night Sights offer end users many ways to install their own sight sets including file to fit, the gunsmith way, budget methods, or by sight pusher tools.

Find out why the Members of the NTOA gave the R3D Night Sights a gold ranking for 2020.

All XS Sights are backed by a 10-year, No Questions Asked Warranty and XS’s 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

Blackbird Products Partners with The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project

From Blackbird Products

Blackbird Products Group, LLC, parent company of Mammoth Coolers and Mammoth PPE products, is proud to announce that they will be making a donation on every Mammoth Heritage Series cooler sold through June 30, 2021, to The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project (TCDJHP), a veteran charity co-founded by the late country music icon and patriot Charlie Daniels and his personal Manager, David Corlew.

“Both Charlie and I were very excited about our new venture with Mammoth Coolers. With the passing of Charlie, we stand determined to carry on the American Patriot Spirit that both Charlie and Mammoth stand for,” said David Corlew, Founder and Executive Director of TCDJHP. “This also provides the opportunity to continue our mission with The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project to support the needs of veterans and their reintegration back into civilian life.”

Bob George, Director of Sales and Marketing of Blackbird Products Group, LLC stated, “This project had been in development for over eight months, with the original plan to introduce it during the spring of 2020. When the pandemic hit, we put everything on hold as did everybody in the country. At that point, we started looking at a potential 2020 fall announcement. However, in July we received the devastating news that Charlie had passed away. We are very appreciative of Charlie’s family and The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project as well as David Corlew for allowing us to move forward with this fund-raising project in Charlie’s honor.”

Michael Hannigan, CEO of Blackbird Products Group stated, “We are proud to honor those who have sacrificed so much and in doing so honor the late Charlie Daniels and the organization that he was so passionate about. The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project will benefit from sales on all of the Heritage Series Coolers which consist of the 2nd Amendment, Don’t Tread On Me, Blue Line, Red Line, Old Glory, and the Betsy Ross Flag wrapped cooler. On behalf of our team and our valued dealers, it is our pleasure to thank and assist our veterans as they return to their pre-military lives”.

When referring to veterans, Daniels stated it best when he said, “We believe that every soldier has his or her own path. The path is different; the process remains the same; To Return. To Rehabilitate. To Reintegrate. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Mammoth Coolers and to generate funds and most importantly knowledge around The Journey Home Project.”

Mammoth will also be promoting the partnership through promotional packaging, In-store promotions, social media outlets, and television commercials on several outdoor sports networks, including ESPN II.

About The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project:

The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project (TCDJHP) is a not-for profit organization that assists other not-for-profits in securing funds to help causes that benefit veterans of the United States Armed Forces. The organization was co-founded in 2014 by the late country music legend Charlie Daniels and his manager, David Corlew. Board members include Corlew, Major General Terry “Max” Haston (retired) and most recently in 2020, Hazel Daniels. Conscious of the need to assist our nation’s veterans, TCDJHP partners with organizations that do the most good, with the least overhead. Working in tandem with these organizations, TCDJHP is making a difference in the lives of American patriots.

Rhino Blinds 600 in Mossy Oak

From Rhino Blinds

From whitetails, to spring gobblers, to waterfowl, to ambushing western big game, sportsmen are increasingly choosing to hunt from fast-set ground blinds. Ground blinds are ideal when trying to stay out of the harsh elements, or if the hunter is searching for more room to hunt in comfort, or when hunting with a family member or a friend.

The versatility of hunting in a protable ground blind is unmatched.

Rhino Blinds has made it easy for hunters to hunt wherever they want, in whatever elements Mother Nature may dial-up. And the Rhino 600 portable ground blind offers the durability and effectiveness the hunter needs to hunt year after year.

The Rhino 600

“The ground blind you can leave out all fall” is constructed of true 600-denier polyester thread in horizontal and vertical weave, allowing it to hold up year after year. To make it even longer-lasting, the 600 is U.V. treated with DWR (durable water repellant) to protect the fabrics and with an antimicrobial to help prevent mold, rot and mildew. DWR allows the hunter to set the blind up three to four days before hunting, and keep it up through the entire hunt, no matter the conditions. The 600 is designed to withstand rain, snow, hail, and wind.

The Rhino 600 is made to last using a durable rod-and-hub system. The 5-hub design provides maximum strength. Rhino Blinds has replacement parts available at all times to keep the blind working properly.

Hunters will appreciate the blind’s quick setup and takedown. Once the blind is out of the bag, with little practice, employing the 600 may be accomplished in as little as 60 seconds.

Inside, the Rhino 600 comfortably fits two or three hunters. It has a 71″ center height with 60″ x 60″ of floor space. The window system features a large front panel, two forward-side panels and three on the back wall. The windows feature shoot-through mesh and solid fabric sewn into the blind with hook-and-loop attachments on the side and top. The 600 has an additional zippered roof opening for better air circulation and different hunting applications, such as waterfowl hunting.

Included with the blind are tie-down stakes, ropes and a backpack-style carrying bag. The Rhino 600 only weighs 26 lbs., which allows hunters to quick and easy transportion.

The Rhino 600 is available in Mossy Oak Break-Up Country or Mossy Oak Obsession and retails for $289.99.

The Rhino Blinds’ motto “the toughest ground blind known to man” continues to be nationally endorsed by hunting professionals, photographers and hunting guides.

Rhino Blinds can be found at your favorite sporting goods retailer, or by ordering online at www.rhinoblinds.com; phone at (888) 507-2021. For customer service email customerservice@opioutdoors.com.
