Bullpup Shoot 2016 is right around the corner and this is going to be a big one. There will at least 5 new rifle designs displayed at the vendor tables, not just to look at… They will be available to shoot!
The following new rifles will be available to shoot:
Lithgow USA F90 ATRAX
Hill and Mac Gun STG-44
Hill and Mac Gun CETME L
JARD, Inc. J97 9mm Gen 2
Desert Tech MDR
That’s right. Desert Tech will have a demo MDR on hand that you can shoot. This might be the biggest bullpup release since the Tavor came to the USA.
The shoot is held in Mount Carroll, Illinois on September 17th from 9AM to 5PM. You can visit BullpupShoot.com for more detail.
The Jackal Pup, a more compact version of the full-sized Jackal, is now available from Southern Grind. Like its big brother, the Jackal Pup features full tang construction, sculpted G-10 handle slabs, 8670M steel, and a kydex sheath. The thumb ramp, shallow first finger groove, self guard, and modified clip point blade shape are all intact – just scaled down into a much more EDC-friendly size.
Chase Tactical is now carrying Skeleton Optics eyewear. Good quality sunglasses are one thing that I don’t mind dropping some cash on. They protect your eyes and can have an effect on how you shoot. I’ve seen a shooter in a carbine class chasing his zero because of cheap eyewear.
These are sunglasses made for people who shoot, hunt, and pursue the outdoors. All Skeleton Optics impact resistance polycarbonate lenses are polarized and manufactured by Carl Zeiss Vision. Their frames are lightweight, durable, and very flexible. They look good too.
Armageddon Gear head honcho, Tom Fuller, is always bragging on the great ladies that make his company tick. They are Armageddon Gear’s secret weapons! Recently, they highlighted Miss Brenda on their Facebook page. She has been particularly important to the success of Armageddon Gear and has a great American story.
Miss Brenda, our Armageddon Gear Girl of the week, has quite the background. She started sewing her own clothes when she was 14, she got her first sewing job in 1973 and worked as a machine operator from then on working her way up to the supervisor in a sewing factory with over 200 machine operators until the plant was moved to China in 2005. She married her husband in 1970 and 3 days later he went to Viet Nam. He came home in 1971 after a year tour and they never spent another night apart the entire 44 year marriage!
Mrs. Brenda has hired all our operators here and runs a tight ship. She takes the quality of our products personally and passes that attitude on to all her employees. She has the utmost respect of everyone here at AG and we don’t tell her this enough but the truth is that if it weren’t for her, Armageddon Gear probably wouldn’t exist. And she can shoot a darn good smiley face on an IPSC target!
So maybe the best reason to never buy overseas produced, knock-off gear is because they don’t have Miss Brenda walking the production aisles making sure everything is done right.
