FRANKFORT, Ky – The Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial (KVVM) in Frankfort recently received a significant upgrade courtesy of local business Polymershapes. The Winchester business designed, fabricated and installed brand-new lenses for the bollards at the Memorial at no cost.

Over time, many of those lights had grown dim, and several lenses needed replacement. Though electrician Mark Wilson has worked tirelessly to repair them through the years,…

Anonymous officials told multiple outlets Thursday and Friday that the U.S. is considering sending ground troops inside Iran. Potential plans reportedly include deploying…
I have shot a small amount of Steel Challenge matches off and on for the past 20 years. It is good fun and it provides a level of performance stress unlike other shooting sports except maybe Action Pistol. I am no expert in it, but it is the only national championship I have ever won. In my last local match this past weekend, I shot Limited Optics and Carry Optics. I managed to win both divisions and take first over all in the centerfire divisions. I mention this because there is slightly more to shooting steel than the advertising might…
Silencer Resource Center Launches Suppressor Compatibility Platform Silencer Resource Center is proud to announce its launch as a free, data-driven platform built to solve one of the most persistent issues in the suppressor industry: compatibility. As modular suppressor systems and HUB-based mounting solutions have grown in popularity, the number of possible combinations between silencers, adapters, and muzzle devices has expanded rapidly. Until now, end users and dealers have largely relied on scattered forum posts, social media discussions, and manufacturer communication to determine what works. This often resulted in inconsistent or incorrect information. The Silencer Resource Center was developed to bring…
