VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.- iSportsman knows that the most important part of getting outdoors is connecting with a like-minded community and pursuing passions that bring personal fulfillment. To celebrate this sentiment, iSportsman will sponsor YouTuber and active duty member Mike Rogers, @TLOMikeRogers, as he embarks on a season-ending mule deer hunt in Arizona from January 13-20.

Mike’s content appeals to his audience due to his caring and down-to-earth nature. A self-described “regular guy,” Mike embarked on his hunting trip just five years ago, and it quickly became his passion. Now, as an avid bow hunter, he takes to the fields whenever he can.

“Hunting filled in that part of me that I had been missing for so long since I joined the Army,” Mike said. But the road to success was not easy.

“I was eating my label for two years,” Mike explained. “There’s so much misleading information about how to get started, you have to filter and make sure you’re listening to the right experts.”

Realizing this gap, Mike began documenting his experiences on YouTube and contributing to the thriving community of military-affiliated outdoorsmen. From basic scouting and hunting explorations to breaking down the details of iSportsman opportunities like the Camp Pendleton lottery draws, Mike aims to create content for people like him.

Mike will continue this effort in Arizona, in an iSportsman sponsored hunt. There, he intends to get up early and trek through the mountains in search of the best vantage point over the vast amount of land to find a deer for him to hunt. Additionally, Mike will share the ways iSportsman has helped him, and others like him, get outdoors.

As an avid iSportsmanGX user, Mike is excited to share what other services iSportsman offers. Like iSportsmanARX, which allows private land owners to have the same security and customizable grounds management services that Department of Defense and Federal lands currently use iSportsmanGX, and iSportsmanX, which is available in its beta stage and will act as a search engine tool to connect military members with outdoor activities. Recreational activities.

Please join us as we follow Mike on what we hope will be an exciting end-of-season ride by signing up for the bi-weekly newsletter, iSportsmanUnited States or by following us on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.

Most importantly, follow Mike through this adventure and all of his @TLOMikeRogers channels on YouTube and Instagram.

Adept Armor’s NovaSteel Buckler fills the gap left by contemporary body armor and helmet systems.

Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 2023) – Adept Armor, an armor systems engineering company, has just released their new NovaSteel Buckler Shield. The lightweight ballistic shield offers rapidly deployable protection for vulnerable parts of the face, neck, upper torso and arms. As such, it literally fills the void left by contemporary body armor systems. Easy to store, carry, and use, and compatible with a wide variety of lights and other accessories, the NovaSteel Buckler provides reliable defense against pistol, edged weapon, blunt-impact weapon, and animal attacks, and can function as a extremely effective weapon. compliance weapon. It is especially suitable for use in home defense scenarios.

“The buckler is not a new concept. It is so old that its origins are lost to history,” said Jake Ganor, president of Adept Armor. “As firepower came to dominate warfare in the 16th^the and 17^the centuries, shields gradually fell out of favor and eventually disappeared entirely. We have brought it back with the NovaSteel Buckler because its shape makes it an exceptionally useful and versatile implement today, especially when made from an advanced ballistic steel alloy.”

Weighing just 3 pounds, the NovaSteel Buckler offers Level IIIA/VPAM-3 protection. Constructed from an advanced alloy, it features a strong, durable handle, a nylon carry strap, a Velcro patch for identification or light, and an optional lightweight LED guard light with strobe function. The NovaSteel Buckler Shield’s ambidextrous capability allows it to be easily switched hands in combat and can be used by both left and right handed users.

Although relatively small at 12.2 inches in diameter, the NovaSteel Buckler Shield is designed to stay clear of the body and as such can protect a significantly larger area than its size conveys. Held correctly, at arm’s length, it offers a much larger area of ​​protection than most armor plates or vests and can protect typically unarmored areas such as the neck and face. The NovaSteel Buckler is light enough to benefit from its user’s autonomic startle and flinch response and, with some training, can be reliably positioned correctly to protect its user from harm.

Just as the shields of yesteryear were designed to be used in conjunction with the sword, the NovaSteel Buckler Shield is designed to be used in conjunction with a pistol. Resting on the flat NovaSteel Buckler Shield shoulder, pistols are stabilized and the user’s most vulnerable parts are covered and protected. Additionally, the NovaSteel Buckler Shield can be used as an offensive weapon in its own right and excels particularly as a non-lethal compliance weapon. It was designed with this use in mind. MSRP is $195.
