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.

the backside of the laser. Not only will the laser fit nicely on the smallest

The Subcompact V3 laser is powered by four 377 batteries that provide
five hours in constant on mode and ten hours in pulse mode of normal
usage. Normal usage is defined as one minute on and one minute off.
This test mimics actual usage where the unit is turned on and off and the
battery is given time to automatically regenerate.

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
