Henry Repeating Arms Raises Over $47,000 For 3-Year-Old Battling Leukemia

From Henry Repeating Arms

The leading lever-action firearms manufacturer, Henry Repeating Arms, donated a series of 65 custom rifles that raised a total of $47,040 to benefit the family of 3-year-old Preslie Mantsch from Iron River, Michigan. Preslie was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in April of this year and still has two years of treatment left. All proceeds from the sales and auctions of the rifles are being presented to the Mantsch family to assist with the medical expenses associated with childhood leukemia.

The “Prayers For Preslie” Edition Golden Boy Silver rifles were created under Henry Repeating Arms’ Guns For Great Causes banner, a charitable branch of the company that focuses on raising money through firearm donations for individual sick children, children’s hospitals, veterans’ organizations, shooting sports preservation, and wildlife conservation efforts. So far this year, the company has raised over $175,000 for individual families of sick children and presented Shriners International with a $52,500 check to assist with their philanthropic efforts with the renowned Shriners Children’s Hospitals.

The rifles, which sold for $620 each, sold out within a matter of hours after Henry’s initial announcement. The first and last serial numbers in the series were put up for auction and pulled in an additional $6,525 and $2,075, respectively.

Anthony Imperato, President and Owner of Henry Repeating Arms says, “With Preslie’s father being a frontline medical worker in their community’s fire and ambulance departments, I just can’t imagine the struggle this family has been through so far this year.” Imperato continues, “I want to personally thank everyone who chose to support this family with the purchase of a rifle, and I look forward to seeing little Preslie conquer her road to remission. We’re all rooting for her.”

Henry firearms can only be purchased through a licensed firearms dealer. For more information about Henry Repeating Arms and its products, visit henryusa.com or call 866-200-2354.

WOOX Introduces New Rock62 Knife with X-Grip Technology

From WOOX

WOOX has added another great piece of outdoor gear to their growing range of products, with the new Rock62 knife.

Following the successful launch of the original Rock62 knife, this latest model in the line features the innovative X-Grip Technology. Gaining inspiration from the legendary Pirelli tires, X-Grip Technology is designed with grooves and threads that help fluids naturally and quickly flow away from the handle. Fluids such as water and blood, as well as mud and other liquids get displaced 10-times faster than with conventional handle designs. Thus, the new Rock62 X-Grip Technology knives offer superior grip and handling in any environment or weather.

Like all WOOX Rock62 knives, these new models also feature superior Sleipner Steel (Rockwell HRC 60-62), custom fitted screws, and German Micarta handles.

The Rock62 knife is made in Italy, but is developed, assembled, and finished at the WOOX North American headquarters in Hickory, North Carolina. Available in two different color configurations (Stonewash and Mil Spec), the new Rock62 with X-Grip Technology has a retail price of $199.00.

About WOOX: A new outdoor gear company, WOOX prides itself on delivering best craftsmanship at a competitive price. WOOX manufactures high-performance rifle stocks and chassis, as well as outdoor gear such as knives and axes. By circumventing traditional channels, making their gear in-house in Italy and engaging with customers directly, WOOX can deliver higher-quality, higher-performance and better-looking products at a fraction of the traditional craftsmanship price. WOOX is a division of Minelli Group with its North American headquarters situated in Hickory, North Carolina. All WOOX products are developed in the USA and manufactured in Italy.

WOOX also recently introduced a Furiosa rifle chassis.

Revolutionary Cabela’s Instinct clothing line makes its return

From TrueTimber

Cabela’s is delivering world-class performance for the most dedicated and devoted hunters in the world, bringing back its revolutionary Instinct clothing line, featuring the debut of TrueTimber’s new VSX camo pattern.

The Instinct technical camo system covers hunters from the base layer to the outer shell and each layer in between. This iconic brand, a longtime favorite of hunters across North America, is making its return exclusively at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, and online at basspro.com and cabelas.com.

The return of the world’s foremost technical camo system, the Instinct line is built for the most serious hunters who require the highest performance gear on the market. The inner layers wick sweat and bring three levels of optimized warmth. Middle layers deliver superior 3M Thinsulate insulation keeping users warm and comfortable no matter how low temperatures drop. Tough outerwear that is rugged and quiet with watertight integrity keeps hunters unheard, dry and ready for the next adventure no matter the forecast.

The high-performance design mixed with unmatched quality and construction ensures Instinct clothing can withstand any environment in even the most hardcore hunting scenarios. It guarantees hunters of all skill levels the very best in next-level performance and protection, and will be a favorite for sportsmen for generations to come. Matched with the superior concealment of TrueTimber’s revolutionary and incredibly versatile VSX camo, it makes the Instinct lineup a must-have for every hunting season.

VSX was designed using our micro and macro schematics technology, making this pattern just as effective from the top of the highest mountain terrains to the wide-open prairies and southern woodland thickets. The strategic non-directional shapes and texturization use lights and darks working together to break up the human outlines at close and long distances. The colors are made up of natural grays, browns and greens found across all outdoor environments and seasons, making this pattern extremely diverse and virtually invisible to any game users might be pursuing.

“We are really excited to see this product line launch and get to see VSX in action,” said TrueTimber CEO Rusty Sellars. “We have produced some of the most versatile, well-rounded and realistic camo patterns on the market, and VSX is really taking that idea to the next level. Users will be able to take this pattern coast to coast, in every season and have no problem blending in and we love seeing it debuted on the powerful Instinct lineup this fall.”

Cabela’s is also offering its Treadfast Zoned Insulation Boot in TrueTimber.

Galco’s Kydex EDC Upgrade System

From Galco

An Every Day Carry set-up isn’t just a holster, it’s a system. Galco has always advocated the integration of holster, ammo carrier and holster belt as the best method for comfortable and effective concealed carry. Galco offers a systems approach in both leather and – today’s topic – Kydex.

The Triton™ 2.0 is fast on the draw, slender in profile, and easy to conceal. The Kydex holster body allows a smooth return to the holster after the draw, while the raised sweat guard protects the pistol from corrosive perspiration – and also protects the wearer’s skin from hard steel! The Triton 2.0’s tuckable belt clips are adjustable for cant, making it suitable for the strongside, crossdraw, or appendix carry positions.


I interviewed several custom holster experts, and you may be surprised at how affordable they are.


At least one reload should always be available. The Kydex Single Magazine Carrier is packaged with both a belt slot and a quick on-off belt clip, which can be interchanged at the user’s discretion. An adjustable tension unit provides security for the magazine.

A modern take on the traditional Ranger-style belt, the EDC Belt features adjustable billet strap and a quick-release “cobra” style buckle. Constructed of SCUBA webbing, its hook-and-loop billet strap gives wide latitude for adjustment to accommodate waist variations or handguns carried inside the waistband. Rigid and extremely stable, the EDC Belt is an excellent choice for both training and everyday wear with the heaviest of handguns and accessories.
