Rochester, N.H. (April 28, 2011) – Thompson/Center Arms Company, Inc., a Smith & Wesson® company, announced today that it has expanded one of its most popular lines of muzzleloaders with the introduction of a fixed-barrel version - the Pro Hunter™ FX.

Designed around the popular Pro Hunter platform, the new muzzleloader combines the advanced features of the Pro Hunter rifle with Thompson/Center’s solid reputation for durability and performance in the field. Separating it from the other muzzleloaders in the line, the Pro Hunter FX is standard with a fixed .50 caliber barrel that is not interchangeable with other barrel configurations. Instead, the muzzleloader sports a 26- inch fluted barrel with patented QLA® (Quick Load Accurizer) for enhanced accuracy.

Other notable features include the muzzleloader’s improved handling and recoil reduction system made possible by the FlexTech™ stock and forend. Inside the FlexTech stock, four Energy Burners™, along with the recoil pad, allow the stock to slightly compress when firing, helping to reduce felt recoil by forty-two percent.

Additional features of the Pro Hunter FX muzzleloader include the Speed Breech® 3, a new triple-lead hand-removable breech plug. Through the use of the anti-seize Speed Breech 3, no tools are required for removal, allowing shooters to take out the breech plug by hand. The new muzzleloader is also standard with fiber optic sights, along with a Swing Hammer® that can be conveniently positioned toward either side of the frame, enabling easier access to the hammer once an optic has been mounted.

To protect the muzzleloader against inclement weather, Thompson/Center has added its tough-as-nails finish, Weather Shield®. When applied to the barrel, receiver and other critical parts, the Weather Shield adds an extra level of protection against corrosion, extending the durability and lifetime of each muzzleloader. Weighing in at seven pounds, the Pro Hunter FX measures 42 ½ inches in overall length and features a 14-inch length- of-pull. The new muzzleloader is available in either black composite or Realtree® AP™ Camo.

The new Pro Hunter FX muzzleloader will be on display during the NRA Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, April 29 – May 1. Attendees are encouraged to stop by the Thompson/Center Arms booth (#1521) and view the new muzzleloader along with the Company’ s extensive line of hunting firearms.

Two of the top names in the outdoors discuss the benefits of owning a KODAK PULSE Digital Frame while having a bit of fun.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 4, 2011 – Kodak Outdoors continues to reach out to avid anglers and hunters as proven by the recent release of a commercial which features reigning Bassmaster Classic Champion Kevin VanDam and Michael Waddell who is one of hunting’s most well-known personalities and host of “Bone Collector.” VanDam and Waddell are part of the Kodak Outdoors Pro Team for 2011.

The commercial, which can be viewed at Youtube.com , KodakOutdoors.com and at more than 50 Bass Pro Shops throughout the country, opens with VanDam loading his boat after a day of fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series Sunshine Showdown held Mar. 10-13, 2011, on the Harris Chain in Tavares, Fla.

VanDam explains that the KODAK PULSE Digital Frame is the perfect piece of equipment for anglers and hunters to share their outdoor photos with family and friends. As a result, he sends a photo of a huge Florida bass caught at the tournament to a frame set up in Waddell’s editing suite.

Not to be outdone by VanDam’s opening salvo, Waddell returns the favor by sending an image to VanDam’s digital frame of a monster buck. Waddell and his prized deer will be waiting on VanDam when he returns from his tournament in sunny Florida.

While the playful nature of the commercial is meant to demonstrate the bragging most anglers and hunters like to do with their prized catches and harvests, the commercial is intended to convey just how easy it is to set up the frame, which comes in 7- and 10-inch models, and to share photos through a variety of points such as Facebook, cell phone, digital cameras with sharing capabilities, Kodak Photo Gallery and more.

“It has been a pleasure working with Kevin and Michael on this commercial,” said Terry Clas, National Account Manager, New Business Development, United States and Canada, Kodak. “Their fun-loving personalities made for an entertaining and educational commercial. We know that avid hunting and angling enthusiasts enjoy sharing photos from the field and the water, and this commercial speaks directly to those consumers.”

The KODAK PULSE Digital Frame can be purchased at KodakOutdoors.com and Bass Pro Shops.
