From the Umarex USA Blog…
One of the things we do really, really well here at Umarex is crafting replicas of many manufacturers’ popular models. This is done with licensing agreements that allow us to make BB and airsoft replicas of some of the most popular firearms in the world. It’s good for everyone involved, especially the consumer, as you can get your paws on a replica of your favorite model for a fraction of the cost.
As such, we’ve pilfered the interwebs and the cobwebs of our memories to think back on where our coolest replicas are found on the silver screen. So without further ado, here are the first eight films in our three-part series of movies featuring firearms of which we make awesome replicas.

Axeon Optics is proud to announce, in conjunction with the Dog Soldier himself, Steve Criner, the arrival of the Dog Soldier Predator Scope. Steve Criner, professional predator hunter and host of both Dog Soldier TV show on Pursuit Channel and the web-based Real Air Gun Hunting show, worked closely with Axeon in developing a tough scope that would be ideal for predator hunting in unforgiving conditions. The Dog Soldier Scope notably features 4-16X magnification, large 50mm objective lens, 30mm tube, an illuminated mil-dot reticle, and covered, toolless 1/4MOA adjust turrets.

In February, junior ROTC cadets gathered together in the north, south and west to compete in the scholastic JROTC Three-Position Air Rifle Service Championships. Competitors at each location are awarded based on individual scores as well as overall team accomplishments according to military service branch (Army, Navy, Air Force or Marin Corps). Athletes compete in sporter or precision air rifle disciplines.
Notable performances were given by sporter team members of Zion Benton High School in Illinois (Navy) as well as sporter members from Nation Ford High School in South Carolina (Marine Corps) – each securing the Top 3 places at their event locations. Because of their talented athletes, the teams ultimately went on to earn first place in their respectable team competitions as well.

The deadline for the final entries to the Test Event “Ready Steady Tokyo” is approaching. In the light of the existing situation with COVID-19, it is for you to determine the potential risks for your athletes’ health in traveling and coming in contact with citizens of different countries.
