SPRINGFIELD, MO – N8 Tactical, an innovative holster company with a mission to provide quality products with superior comfort for all day, every day carry, has developed another innovative solution for the armed and ready self defense community. The company’s new Magna-Clip magazine magazine eliminates the bulk and printing problems of conventional magazine magazines with a design that safely and discreetly stores a spare magazine inside a pants pocket.

The Magna-Clip is a minimalist magazine carrier utilizing three exceptionally strong neodymium grade magnets secured in a single wing carrier body. The open, L-shaped body accommodates a wide range of metal and metal-lined magazine designs and sizes. Simply place the magazine against the carrier and the magnets will hold the magazine firmly until it is removed with a firm jerk.

The Magna-Clip mount is backed by a strong spring steel pocket clip. Its minimalist size and subdued black oxide finish look like a pocket knife clip, so no one knows you’re carrying a loaded magazine.

To use, secure the Magna-Clip in the pocket on the weak side. Orient the magazine with the bullets forward and slide it into your pocket and against the Magna-Clip. In this position, the magazine can be easily grasped and removed when necessary.

The Magna-Clip is also ideal when performing tactical reloading (removing a partially loaded magazine from the weapon and inserting a full magazine). Simply slide the partially loaded magazine into your pocket and the Magna-Clip snaps it into place, ready to use again if needed.

Virtually any pistol that uses all-metal or metal-clad magazines will work with the Magna-Clip. These include:

• GLOCK 19
• GLOCK 17
• GLOCK 43
• GLOCK 48
• Springfield Hellcat
• sign p365
• Sign P320
• S&W Shield

Many things in life are complicated, but putting food plots on hunting grounds doesn’t have to be one of those complex things. Hunters can make it easier by laying out food plots with the Firminator. It’s high-quality, American-made farm equipment that breaks up plots, plants seed at the desired rate, and then cultivates the soil.

It is an all-in-one implement that connects to a tractor (or ATV for the ATV model). Its design is uncomplicated: set it up for the size of the seed to be planted and just drive the tractor and the Firminator does its job.

Even if someone has never planted food plots before, the Firminator’s user-friendly design and easy-to-adjust settings produce great results. The people at Firminator believe that this should work as efficiently and accurately as possible, and this belief is part of their overall quality mission. Anyone with farming experience will appreciate the quality of the parts and the durability of the Firminator: its sturdiness reduces the risk of breakdowns and lowers the long-term cost of land management.

The Firminator is of high quality, and Ranew’s Outdoor Equipment makes the Firminator in the United States. Having every step of the process under control in the US factory ensures quality and tests the Firminator under real conditions. Many Firminator employees use the product themselves on their hunting property and have planted Firminators in their food plots for years. They’ve fixed the bugs a long time ago, so customers don’t have to.

With Firminator, the reliability of food plot equipment doesn’t have to be a risk. The heavy-duty discs, which can be adjusted to a wide range of soil types and planting tasks, will prepare the ground; the Accu-Seed system will dispense whatever size seed is needed at the rate one wishes to plant. The professional grade culti-packer ensures good seed to soil contact for optimal seed germination.

It’s all in one package. It is easy to use by design and will last for years and years.

If this sounds like the solution to land improvement plans, include Firminator in this year’s food plot development strategies. For more information on the entire line of Firminator products and accessories, see their website at www.thefirminator.com.

Ranew Outdoor Gear Introduces The Firminator – The Firminator is by far the most versatile gear in the industry. The operator can choose from a wide range of angle and pitch adjustments to perform many different functions.

In any athletic endeavor, the team is important. You won’t find the best golfers, bowlers or ballplayers using equipment that hasn’t been modified to suit their exact body size and type, as well as the specific requirements of their sport and their own personal quirks. This is also true of competitive pistol and shotgun shooters, whose weapons have been custom tuned to allow them to maximize their performance in the most difficult conditions imaginable.

Rifle shooters, whether hunters or competition shooters, are no different. The rifle must fit them exactly and the stock must be accurately inserted for barrel action, or consistent pinpoint accuracy is not possible. That’s where a custom rifle stock is a critical part of the rifle build.

“At AG Composites, we design and manufacture advanced composite rifle stocks for both hunters and the world’s best shooters,” said Matt Tandy, owner of AG Composites. “As a veteran-owned company that employs dozens of US military veterans, we know how important it is to make the first shot count.

“Our company relies on technology that uses modern design software from Solidworks and AutoDesk to create computer-aided design (CAD) models of every material we make,” Tandy continued. “We only use the highest quality carbon fiber, epoxy and paint products and a proprietary manufacturing process that is the ‘secret balance’ behind our ability to produce best-in-class materials with lead times that are a fraction from our competitors. At the same time, 90 percent of the work on an AG Composite stock is artisanal labor. The end result is a rifle stock that becomes the foundation for the most accurate rifles in the world.”

The company offers several basic models, including the AG Alpine Hunter, AG Adjustable Hunter, AG Carbon K2, AG Sportsman, AG CAT (Carbon All Terrain), AG Chalk Branch, AG Adjustable Chalk Branch, AG Visigoth, AG Armor, AG Adjustable Armor, AG Privateer and AG Ferrata. You can quickly and easily customize the design to meet your specific needs on the company’s website, https://agcomposites.com, by calling 256-723-8381, or by emailing them at info@agcomposites.com. At AG Composites’ main manufacturing facility, the company focuses on producing stock for Remington Model 700 stock and Remington clones. Shooters interested in other entries such as Savage, Winchester, Browning, Ruger, Weatherby, etc., can find a list of gun manufacturers involved in those actions on the company’s website.

“At the end of the day, our goal is to provide our customers with a rifle stock that is both visually appealing and allows their rifle to perform to its full accuracy potential,” Tandy said. “Our stocks are built to withstand the most demanding field conditions and we guarantee they won’t let you down.” More information about the company’s full line of products and how they are produced can be found at https://agcomposites.com/ or by clicking here.

EDGEFIELD, SC — In late May, the governors of Arizona, California and Nevada made an important announcement about conserving the Colorado River. This plan, developed by the states of the lower Colorado River Basin, aims to safeguard the river and mitigate the effects of the ongoing drought.

By reducing water use and implementing sustainable practices, the plan aims to conserve 3 million acre-feet of water over the next three years. In exchange for their commitment, cities, irrigation districts, and Native American tribes in these states will receive federal funds. This agreement marks a positive step forward to address the overuse and challenges facing the lower basin states.

The Colorado River is a vital resource in the western United States, serving seven states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. These states, along with numerous Native American tribes and communities, depend on the river for their water supply, hydroelectric power, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, and various other benefits. However, the history of the Colorado River has been marred by problems stemming from over-allocation and the impacts of climate change.

The Colorado River Compact, established in 1922, divided the use of the river among various interested parties. Unfortunately, this split exceeded the river’s typical flow, causing excessive allocation and overuse. In subsequent agreements, overuse continued, adding to the pressure on the river’s resources. Compounding the problem is the growing impact of climate change, which is exacerbating the basin’s heat and dryness, further reducing water supplies.

While there has been a decline in water supply from the upstream upper basin states over the past two decades, the lower basin states persist in consuming water at an unsustainable rate. On average, they use 1.2 million acre-feet more water than they receive from the Upper Basin. This imbalance threatens the long-term sustainability of the Colorado River and requires collaborative efforts to rectify the situation.

A crucial aspect that is often overlooked in the discussion is the correlation between forest health and the hydrology of the Colorado River. The catastrophic impact the wildfires are having on both is immense, said Travis Smith, Western Waters Specialist for the NWTF.

The upper basin states play an important role in maintaining the river’s water supply, so it is essential to understand the connection between water resources and forest health in these regions. Devastating forest fires in Colorado and other states have caused adverse effects on snowpack, hydrologic conditions, and runoff. These events affect water quality during active burning and have lasting consequences for months, or even years, after containment.

To promote healthier forests and improve water quality and quantity, the NWTF has implemented large-scale landscapes wildfire mitigation efforts through shared stewardship agreements such as the 20-year National Master Stewardship Agreement with the USDA Forest Service and the Rocky Mountain Restoration Initiative to address this pressing issue.

“NWTF recognizes the strong connection of our landscape-scale conservation work and downstream water supplies for people, places and wild turkeys,” Smith said.

Understanding the relationship between forest health and water resources is essential to preserving the long-term viability of the Colorado River. By implementing shared stewardship initiatives, stakeholders are taking vital steps to secure the future of this critical water source in the West.

About the National Wild Turkey Federation

Since 1973, the National Wild Turkey Federation has invested more than half a billion dollars in wildlife conservation and has conserved or improved more than 22 million acres of critical wildlife habitat. The organization continues to advance wildlife conservation, forest resiliency, and robust recreational opportunities across the US by working beyond borders at the landscape scale.

2023 is the 50th of the NWTF ^he anniversary and an opportunity to push the organization’s mission into the future while honoring its rich history. for his 50 ^he anniversary, the NWTF has set six ambitious goals: positively impact 1 million acres of wildlife habitat; raise $500,000 for wild turkey research; increase membership to 250,000 members; dedicate $1 million to education and outreach programs; raise $5 million to invest in technology and the people of NWTF; and raise $5 million to build a $50 million endowment for the future. Learn how you can help us achieve these lofty goals.
