PROOF Research is advancing barrel technology with its new exponential twist PXT barrels.Rifle barrel technology has been relatively stable for a long time, but PROOF Research may have just changed that. The company’s new PXT barrels, standing for PROOF Exponential Twist, are introducing a seemingly simple change to barrel design that could offer a big improvement to performance and lifespan.While traditional barrel designs use constant-twist rifling, PROOF PXT barrels instead use a progressively changing twist profile. PROOF says that this reduces initial bullet stress, helps maintain rotational stability and prolongs barrel life while improving consistency and performance. As modern high-pressure, high-velocity cartridges gain popularity, accelerated barrel wear and bullet deformation are only becoming bigger concerns, but PXT barrels should help solve those issues.Brandon Hulzebosch, director of sales and marketing, said this about the new barrels:PXT is a complete redesign of how the bullet engages the rifling during initial rotation. As the industry advances and ammunition continues to evolve toward higher pressures and performance, we set out to address the technological gap between current barrel systems and where ammunition is headed … PXT gives shooters smoother, more controlled engagement that translates into greater consistency and improved performance. We are excited to…

On Wednesday, the two-time Super Bowl champion reflected on his son’s rookie season. After Shedeur endured an uneven rookie season for the 5-12 Browns, the Colorado football coach said he hoped for more from his son but also pointed to the support young quarterbacks need early in their development.”I would have wanted him to perform a little better, but that’s not just an individual thing, that’s a team thing,” Sanders told Covers while speaking on behalf of his partnership with Depend. “A quarterback needs help tremendously from the offensive line, from the receivers, from the running game, from the coordinators as well. “It’s not just a singular thing, like a defensive…

BRUSSELS — U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new review of America’s troop deployments in Europe on Thursday and threatened to withhold some U.S. dues to NATO if “free riding” allies did not meet their defense spending commitments.Hegseth, addressing defense ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels, said the U.S. review would last for up to six months and include consultations with the U.S. Congress, which has legislated a minimum number of U.S. forces in Europe.While he did not explicitly say the review could result in reductions in U.S. force deployments in Europe, he stressed the goal would be to prompt the continent to do more while ensuring the U.S. military would be able to meet its global commitments.“Make no mistake about it, this will be a real review. It will be designed to ensure that NATO is moving fast and irreversibly toward Europe leading, stepping up to take primary responsibility for the defense of Europe,” Hegseth said.RELATEDHegseth also slammed allies who did not support the United States during its war with Iran, after some denied the U.S. basing and overflight rights for war-related activities.He said the U.S. review would ensure U.S. basing and overflight rights were assured.His comments came…

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s scandal-plagued rise is causing rifts within the Democratic Party, and several Democratic strategists who spoke to Fox News Digital warned of the long-term implications of the party embracing him.”Anyone paying attention to the intersection of culture and politics knows that my party pushed #MeToo well beyond the bounds of common sense long before Graham Platner’s rise,” Michael LaRosa, former press secretary to first lady Jill Biden, said about whether the #MeToo movement rings hollow within the party now that top Democrats have rallied behind Platner.”But the reflexive partisan instinct to circle the wagons around him is the political equivalent of pulling the plug on whatever credibility Democrats had left as the self-appointed champions of women.””If the standards disappear the moment they’re politically inconvenient, they were never standards at all.”JONATHAN TURLEY: WHEN JOURNALISTS WHINE ABOUT #METOO, THEY DON’T MEAN PLATNER, TOO Former adviser to President Bill Clinton and Democratic strategist Doug Schoen argued that Democrats are choosing power and Senate control over serious concerns about Platner’s past, and that could hurt them in 2028.”In the short term, for some Democrats, those on the progressive left, it’s the…

A Florida appeals court ruled Wednesday that the state’s ban on concealed carry by adults ages 18 to 20 violates the Second Amendment, finding that young adults are entitled to the same constitutional protections as law-abiding adults over the age of 20.In a sweeping opinion, the court said 18-year-olds can serve in the military and defend the nation but face restrictions on their ability to exercise the same self-defense rights available to older adults.”Eighteen- to 20-year-olds can defend the country without restriction but can only utilize their Second Amendment right to self-defense with severe restrictions,” Judge Spencer D. Levine wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel of Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeals.”Restricting 18- to 20-year-olds — members of the same ‘political community’ as other law-abiding adults — from rights to self-defense would make the Second Amendment a ‘second-class’ right,” Levine wrote.FEDERAL JUDGE APPROVES COLORADO LAW BANNING PEOPLE UNDER 21 FROM BUYING A GUN The ruling comes after Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier declined to defend the law earlier this year.”In another win for the unalienable rights of Floridians, the 4th DCA agreed with our position that Florida’s law banning adults under 21…
