It’s like Woodstock with guns, quiet guns… and scared hippies. There’s going to be a 3-gun match with a $10k check for the winner, a big-ass barbecue, live music, a motocross demo, a high-end kit raffle and auction, vendor tables and more. And that’s in addition to the main event.
The shoot will be held June 4-5 at Tier 1 Group’s training facility about 20 miles outside Memphis. Ticket pricing and availability info to follow.

Surefire snuck out two new 5.56mm suppressors at Modern Day Marine Expo. The Mini and the Micro are stubby little suckers that add barely 3.6 and 2.6 inches to a weapon’s muzzle but cut down weapon signature and improve unit communication.
The Mini was designed for a 14.5″ barrell and the Micro was designed for the 16.5″-and-up-club. We’ve heard they give considerable sound attenuation for their size on these barrel sizes. Surefire says you can go shorter to make SBR work without earpro comfortable, or at least bearable in most situations. Just don’t expect to hear a pin drop when blasting through a room with a 10.5″ barrel.
The two little guys come with Surefire’s fast and solid threadless Fast-Attach system that requires the use of one of their muzzle breaks, flash hiders or compensators. No price, yet.

The suppressor and carbon-fiber fetishists at Shooter Depot have reduced the size and complexity of their large and complex A.R.I.E.S. system. The new 5.5-inch, 2-component can is 1.25 inches shorter than the original 3-piece setup after integrating the inner module with a threaded end cap.
The Advanced Rifle Integral External Suppressor (A.R.I.E.S.) system’s claim to fame is that it has no effect on the bullet’s point of impact and actually helps tighten shot groups. The system uses a carbon-fiber fore-end tube that mounts the suppressor out in front of the muzzle instead of threading onto it. This places no weight on the end of the barrel.
