With over 50 years of firearms innovation, from the Bushmaster series to the Hydra multi-caliber modular pistol and rifle, the newly renamed Hydra Weaponry Company engaged Laura Burgess Marketing (LBM) to communicate product innovation and company news to industry media. A new website reflects the company’s commitment to its current and new customers.

About Hydra Weaponry:

Based in Maine, Hydra Weaponry, formerly MGI-Military, has 50 years of firearms innovation in its DNA. Beginning with the development of the Bushmaster pistol, rifle and submachine gun, the Gwinn family has set a high standard in designing innovative firearms platforms built around the real-world needs of tactical operators, often fighting in extreme conditions and environments. The MARCK-15 Hydra Modular Weapon System is the ultimate modular platform that designer Mack Gwinn, Jr. created to meet the criteria of modularity, durability, consistent performance, precision, and affordability. Hydra Weaponry is the future of small arms.

Comfort, fit, and function are some of the critical aspects that hunters and outdoorsmen alike look for when looking for a new piece of gear to help them out in the field. Innovative designs and material changes over the years have contributed to many product manufacturers claiming to have the “next best product” or “the last upgrade you’ll ever need.” I have found it here with the Marsupial Gear Chest Pack.

Growing up, he hunted on small holdings with densely wooded areas. I keep my binoculars in the bottom of my backpack because I usually don’t need them. I quickly found that the cheap thin shoulder straps and harnesses that normally came with a new pair compromised my use of them. Constantly readjusting the straps as they moved around on my shoulders became a frustrating burden on top of the noise they made as I walked through the woods.

A recently renewed passion for bowhunting started me looking to replace and upgrade most of my current gear. When I first started practicing at our local 3D archery range, I found myself eyeing the various binocular chest packs fellow shooters were carrying. It didn’t take me long to start asking questions. Carrying binoculars, extra field points for arrows, extra shoots, and a rangefinder seemed to be the standard among the different setups I saw.

Armed with a few recommendations from other nature lovers, I began my search. I came across Marsupial Gear and was impressed with the story of it. This small company started in 2015 with the goal of designing high-quality outdoor gear, solving problems, and creating long-lasting products. Since then, Marsupial Gear has become a staple in the archery industry and community. Marsupial offers standard base colors, but will occasionally offer small batches with unique colors and camo patterns. I made the decision to use the limited edition Kryptek Altitude pattern because it was a better fit for my camo. The marketing for the limited edition led me to believe that the bundles and accessory bags were being sold as a complete package. Frustration turned to relief when Marsupial Gear explained the bug in a quick response to my email, acknowledged the mistake, and sent out the extra accessory bag.

Out of the box this package was exactly what I expected. I was very pleased to see that the pattern matched well with my hunting wardrobe, particularly my spring turkey kit. The build quality of this pack immediately impressed me, especially with its lightweight design at just 14.5 oz. When I started exploring the different side pockets and accessory pouches, I realized this was built to last. The equipment can take a beating during the different conditions in any season. Marsupial offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee that sweetens the deal by replacing any of their products regardless of defect.

Mounting the included rangefinder bag and accessory bag was a breeze. When positioned correctly, they did not move or make any noise when the material rubbed against my clothing and other equipment. This is especially important in forests. A standout feature on both the binoculars pack and rangefinder bag were the forward-opening, magnetic-closing covers that provide quick, quiet access to your favorite tools. The ability to keep my binoculars and rangefinder close at hand and not buried under extra gear or stuffed into a noisy zippered pocket came in handy on my first few hunts this spring. Of the few versions of the package available, I’m happy I chose the fully enclosed package. It offers added protection against the elements such as spring rain. The additional zippered accessory bag has proven to be perfect for additional mouth calls and chalk to freshen up a snare call when chasing birds. The medium-sized main body fits most 12×50 binoculars on the market. Two adjustable cables connect the harness chest straps and binoculars while holding them securely in place. These straps made me feel much more secure compared to my previous setup. I no longer worried about my binoculars falling to the ground or making a noise when I put them down in a hurry to get the perfect shot. This pack offers multiple adjustable straps that go over the shoulders and around the midsection, connecting at the base of the pack to create a secure fit.

At first, I was a bit worried that the pack would get in the way when drawing my bow, especially in the various positions I use in the woods and on a 3D field. The slim, compact design kept the pack close to my chest and at a perfect angle so as not to interfere with my drawing. While I’m still looking forward to taking this pack out west one day, it has proven to be a perfect tool in both turkey woods and 3D archery here in New York. Some of the smaller targets are often difficult to locate – they are hidden in the undergrowth and brambles. Having a pair of binoculars and a rangefinder on hand allows the shooter to locate the target’s scoring rings and accurately gauge distance without having to put down the bow and dig around in a bulky backpack. The included rangefinder pack has a small loop for attaching a strap to your rangefinder of choice with plenty of room to clip an arrow remover for new 3D rigid targets. A small zippered pocket on the back provides a dry, secure place for 3D scorecards or a cell phone. The snug side pockets were the perfect size for an extra pen and Allen key set. After losing a field tip inside a 3D target, I started keeping an extra set of tips and a spare trigger in the accessory bag. I quickly filled this pack with everything I needed in the woods and at the shooting range.

After testing the Marsupial pack for several months, I can honestly say that it will be a part of my hunting gear for years to come. Ultimately, I would like to start competing in larger 3D archery events with more challenging terrain. I always pay special attention to small businesses and was happy to support a 100% American made product from a small business growing in the 3D archery range and outdoor industry. While limited runs may be priced differently with different configurations, the Medium Fully Enclosed Chest Harness is $130 MSRP with accessory bags sold separately for $36 MSRP. Keep an eye on your networks social and website for frequent special offers at an even better price.

(DALLAS)— DSC is pleased to announce John Hartford as the recipient of the 2023 Colin Caruthers Young Hunter Award. This award honors young hunters who prioritize their time to be active both in the field and in their school and community.

The award is named for the late Colin Caruthers, an avid hunter and wildlife enthusiast from a young age. Colin spent countless hours at DSC thanks to his parents, Tommy and Pat Caruthers, longtime DSC Life Members who have been integral to the development of outdoor education programs for DSC. Colin thrived on the camaraderie of contract hunting and enjoyed learning from other hunters. DSC honors this young hunter’s devotion to hunting and conservation through this award.

“As hunters, we are conservationists,” said John Hartford. “And if we want our children and grandchildren to have the same hunting opportunities as us, conservation is vital to the growth and strengthening of wildlife populations and habitats.”

A life member of DSC and a senior at La Jolla High School in San Diego, California, Hartford is an accomplished hunter and conservationist who has hunted in North America, South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique. Hunting since he was 11 years old, Hartford has spent countless hours in the field with his family and friends. In addition, he successfully completed the Kobus Schoeman Hunting Academy Professional Hunter Course, certifying him as a South African Professional Hunter. Hartford served as an apprentice to professional hunter Jacques Strauss of Kowas Adventure Safaris in Namibia for two months during the summer of 2022.

“The main thing that stood out to me is John’s work ethic,” says Jacques Strauss of Kowas Adventure Safaris. “It shows commitment and confidence, while illustrating an eagerness to learn and great professionalism. I am humbled by his efforts to take an entire summer and dedicate it to worthwhile conservation efforts in Namibia.”

John has also maintained rigorous academic discipline while captaining and MVP of his high school baseball team, leading his rugby team, volunteering with the Rotary Club, and attending leadership camps as an active contributor to his community.

After high school, John is considering an appointment to the US Military Academy at West Point or attending a prominent university in Texas. Raised in a military family, Hartford has a high regard for service and would ultimately like to become a professional guide or hunter.

“John is very active in the conservation and hunting communities and helps set the standard for how our youth should conduct themselves in our industry,” said Michael Vernone, DSC President.

On the weekend of November 12-13, 2022, the state directors of the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) gathered at Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama to brainstorm, learn more about the organization’s latest efforts, and socialize. A total of 27 State Directors attended the meeting, which was the first time the group was able to meet since 2018.

CMP State Directors are appointed in each state to provide leadership, coordination, networking, motivation, and publicity for shooting sports in their geographic areas. They work directly with coaches and individuals to provide enjoyable, informative and fun opportunities for competitors in their states and help steer them in positive directions.

“It was great to get everyone together again; a lot has changed within CMP since 2018,” said Dana Lynd, deputy director of programs. “We were able to update everyone on all the great things we are doing.”

Over the weekend, the state directors were able to meet with the new chairman and chief executive officer, Jerry O’Keefe, who took office in September after former chair Judy Legerski retired.

Attendees also heard from Mark Johnson (Civilian Marksmanship Director), Christie Sewell (CMP Head of Programs), Shannon Hand (Competition Manager), Steve Cooper (Educational Training & Training Manager), Greg Raines (Deputy Director of Operations ), Gina Johnson (CMP South General Manager) and Ryan Hinson (Program Coordinator). They each talked about their respective departments such as pistol, air rifle, small bore, summer camps, and of course the CMP State Director program.

Ashley Jackson of the MidwayUSA Foundation was also on hand to discuss the nonprofit’s important relationship with the CMP. The event was facilitated by Sylvia Schoewe, support staff to the State Director.

“All went well!” Schoewe said. “I’ve had quite a few state directors come up and say they enjoyed the meeting, it was very well organized and they learned a lot.”

State Directors also had the opportunity to stand up, introduce themselves and explain a bit about what their state has been involved with with marksmanship programs.

“The new state directors thought that was really helpful,” Schoewe added. “It also gave existing state directors fresh ideas.”

After the classroom portion of the workshop was over, the group was able to tour the 500 acre Talladega Shooting Park.

A full list of CMP state directors, including their individual biographies and contact information, can be found by visiting https://thecmp.org/training-tech/state-director/. They are always happy and willing to answer any questions about shooting sports or targeting opportunities available in your area.
