Tualatin, Oregon –Warne celebrates and offers a warm and well deserved congratulations to Dan Goetz. After a 10-year career with Warne, Dan retires and moves to Texas.

“I had an incredible journey leading Warne over the last decade. During that time, we developed a world-class management team and significantly expanded the Warne brand family of products and customer base while building a highly automated, world-class manufacturing facility here in Oregon,” said Dan Goetz.

Brian Motland, who served as CEO, previously served as Warne’s president and vice president of operations.

“Dan’s leadership and vision were the driving force behind Warne’s growth. I am grateful to have been lucky enough to work and learn from Dan at this amazing company. As I transition into the role of CEO, I will take the lessons learned and apply them to Warne’s continued development as a global leader in the firearms industry,” said Brian Motland.

Brian Motland brings to the role not only his years of experience working at Warne, but also a spirit and passion that embody what makes Warne different.

Brian grew up in Montana camping, fishing, and hunting with his family. In high school, Brian learned the value of hard work while holding part-time jobs on various local farms. He attended the Montana School of Mines and earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering while staying close to the nature that Montana has to offer.

A love of the outdoors, the will and discipline to do the right thing, and a deep understanding of mechanical engineering will help Motland as he oversees Warne’s mission to manufacture the products consumers will use during their own enjoyment of the outdoors.

Secondary to the team is the training. It doesn’t matter how many ‘cool toys’ you have. Not knowing how to use them properly renders them, and you, useless. Not surprisingly, finding qualified trainers is just as difficult. Many people claim to have all the experience and wisdom to properly train anyone in the effective use of a firearm. However, this is not always the case.

C&H Precision Weapons has hand-picked a group of industry professionals capable of providing the pinnacle of expert training. The Guild, as it’s called, is a list of verified trainers from around the country. They are selected for their experience and ability to provide expert education to others. This is not simply limited to civilian use either. Many are gunsmiths, SWAT members, concealed carry experts, history buffs, preppers, and survivors. Finding verified coaches just got even easier.

These instructors are also not renowned people. Larry “Lav” Vickers of Vickers Tactical, Aaron Cowan of Sage Dynamics and Hilton Yam of 10-8 Performance are just a few of the names associated with The Guild. This comprehensive list of highly qualified experts allows those interested in training to connect with a relatively local expert or school. The Guild allows anyone to further the training and development of their personal firearms specialty.

Therefore, no matter what the circumstances or what equipment one possesses, the only benefit remains the ability to use them effectively. The Guild by C&H Precision is hand selected for you. Check it out at: https://chpws.com/theguild/

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is pleased to introduce the Ruger® One-Shot Sled for Ruger American® Short Action Rifles. Used in place of the Ruger American magazine, the One-Shot sled allows for quick and easy loading of a single cartridge. The sled provides a smooth single-round feed and can be a useful tool for slowing down a new shooter or simplifying reloading during range sessions. The Ruger One-Shot is also great for hunting, especially in states with one-shot hunting regulations, like Illinois.

The Ruger One-Shot is a direct magazine replacement for Ruger American rifles in short-action calibers, including many calibers used for hunting (350 Legend, 450 Bushmaster, 300 Blackout, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, etc.). The sled is shipped with a magazine to adapt factory-configured rifles to accept AR, AI, or Mini Thirty® pattern magazines. When inserted into the rifle, the One-Shot Sled fits flush with the stock and does not interfere when carrying a rifle slung or firing from a bag or backpack.

For more information or to order your Ruger One-Shot sled, visit StoreRuger.com or your local independent Ruger firearms retailer.
