Butler Creek Expands Featherlight Sling Lineup

From Butler Creek

Butler Creek®, maker of smart, field-proven hunting and shooting accessories, announced today that the company’s Featherlight Sling lineup has been expanded with two new models perfect for today’s hunters and shooters. Now, gun owners can select either a new camo option or a single-point sling option, which extend the Featherlight family of slings to six different models available for purchase.

Butler Creek’s Featherlight Slings have been lauded by sportsmen and women for their lightweight, breathable and comfortable design. Now, hunters and shooters alike can pick up the newly released Featherlight camo sling, as well as a Featherlight Single-Point Sling that’s perfect for AR platforms.

Butler Creek’s traditional Featherlight Sling is now available in Prym1 MP camouflage, Prym1’s most versatile hybrid camo pattern. This particular camo is designed for all-season use, from the whitetail woods to western big game hunts and everything in between.

The new Featherlight Single-Point Sling comes with all the best features of the Featherlight design, including the patent-pending lightweight, breathable and comfortable close cell foam construction, as well as adjustable straps, a large thumb loop and two built-in cartridge holders. Like all Featherlight slings, the new single-point option is standard with cut out slots that help to reduce trapped heat as well as provide a better grip on the user’s shoulder.

In addition, the Single-Point Sling includes a bungee strap for extra shock absorption and quick-release buckles, as well as a HK-style snap hook and push-button swivel connectors. The quick-release buckles make it easy for shooters to quickly detach their rifle from the sling. The 2-inch wide sling is also adjustable from 28 inches to over 33 inches long so it will fit just about any shooter.

The new Butler Creek Featherlight Sling in Prym1 MP camo has an MSRP of $34.95 and the Featherlight Single-Point Sling has an MSRP of $39.95.

6.8 SPC—New Choices for Deer, Hogs and the Range

From Winchester

Winchester is now offering the widely popular 6.8 Special Purpose Cartridge (SPC) in two new loads that are sure to provide ideal performance in the field and on the range. The 6.8 SPC is a modern, highly versatile cartridge that is preferred for its terminal performance on close to midrange big-game animals such as deer and hogs.

The Winchester® Deer Season XP® 115-grain Extreme Point® load features a streamlined ballistic profile for flat trajectory and energy retention. It also boasts a large-diameter polymer tip for accelerated expansion and maximum impact trauma, an alloyed lead core for massive energy transfer, and a tapered jacket to give lethal penetration on both deer and hogs.  

The USA Ready™ 6.8 SPC is loaded with a 115-grain open-tip bullet that is engineered for accuracy with an aerodynamic profile, flat base and thin-walled jacket. As with all USA Ready target ammunition, the new 6.8 SPC version is built with a match grade primer for shot-to-shot consistency. USA Ready ammunition is also lot controlled, and specific ballistics information for each lot is available online at Winchester.com/USAREADYINFO.

Winchester AA Diamond Grade Now includes Elite Trap Offering

From Winchester

AA® Diamond Grade™ Elite Trap is the newest competition target load from Winchester® Ammunition.

Like its predecessor, AA Diamond Grade, the new Elite Trap is loaded with an alloyed 8% antimony shot, which is the hardest shot available. Winchester has taken an additional step of precision sorting the shot to ensure that only the most round and consistent pellets make the grade, and the result is extremely consistent patterns that are tighter and more uniform for more broken birds and higher scores. Where the two products differ is that the new Elite Trap is non-plated Diamond Grade shot, which is legal for use in sanctioned Amateur Trapshooting Association events (ShootATA.com).  

AA Diamond Grade Elite Trap will be offered in 12-gauge 1 1/8 ozs #7½ at 1250 fps. This is a perfect load for handicap shooting all the way back to the 27-yard line. With the world-renowned AA® Wad, payloads are meant not just to chip but also to powder clay targets. And with all that on the inside, Winchester has put a nickel-plated head on the outside of the cartridge, making for smoother feeding and extraction.

Up and down the line, the choice is AA Diamond Grade. Look for Winchester AA Diamond Grade Elite Trap in 25-round boxes at a retailer or dealer near you.

Resolve to Do Better at Protecting Your Ears

From Howard Leight

It’s a new year. More than ever, this particular turning of the calendar holds the promise of better things and better times to come.

What are you resolving to do differently, better, or more often in the coming year? Will you put in more time on the shooting range? Catch up on the live music events you haven’t been able to attend? Tackle more big projects around the homestead? Reschedule the hunting trip that was canceled last year? Travel to visit friends and loved ones?

Whatever your exciting plans may be, fully enjoying them will require good hearing – both now and in the future. So, consider making 2021 the year you make a commitment to yourself and loved ones to start doing a better job at protecting your hearing.

Hearing loss is largely painless and happens over time as the delicate structures inside our ears are repeatedly injured by loud sounds. The damage is incremental, so most people don’t realize it’s taking place until it’s too late. While continued exposure to dangerous noise can cause hearing loss over time, impulse noises like those produced by a firearm can cause permanent damage instantly. The good news is that such injuries are largely preventable through the consistent use of appropriate and properly fitted hearing protection.

Whether participating in shooting sports, attending concerts, motorsports events, or operating power equipment, wearing properly fitted Howard LeightTM hearing protection products will help protect your hearing while safely enjoying the activities you love.

Foam ear plugs and passive muffs like those from the Howard Leight Leightning Series are great choices for most activities and applications. For shooting sports, consider an electronic earmuff like the popular Howard Leight ImpactTM Sport. Up to 4x amplification means you’ll be able to conduct conversation and hear range commands, while relying on Impact Sport’s internal circuitry to attenuate dangerous sounds over 82dB.

Impact Sport’s performance, comfort and slim, ergonomic design make it a versatile earmuff for almost any environment. What’s more, it’s available in a wide variety of colors and patterns to suit anyone’s preferred application or personal sense of style.

Don’t let gradual hearing loss steal your future enjoyment of the activities you love. Make 2021 and all your future years the best they can be by taking one simple step. Shop Impact Sport now, or visit your favorite Honeywell Howard Leight retailer.
