The Green Way Outdoors Tours Savage Arms® Factory

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – June 21, 2024 – Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, hosted The Green Way Outdoors of the HISTORY® Channel for an exclusive tour of its historic firearms manufacturing facility. The Green Way Outdoors is a one-of-a-kind program reaching new audiences and introducing the hunting and shooting industry via the HISTORY® channel and a large digital presence.

“It was a pleasure having The Green Way Outdoors in our factory because they are so passionate about the outdoors and the education of the younger generation,” said Chris Bezzina, President and CEO of Savage Arms. “Kyle and Ryan had a very genuine curiosity about our process and what makes Savage Arms the standard for American firearms manufacturing, and we were more than happy to take them through our process step by step.”

Chris Bezzina and Wayne Kratochvil, Sr. Materials Supervisor, gave Green and Parks the opportunity to walk the factory floor and build their very own Savage 110 Ultralite Elite chambered in .308 Win, as well as a 110 KLYM in 300 Win Mag.

“It was such an interesting experience making my own gun and learning the process,” said Kyle Green, host and executive producer of The Green Way Outdoors. “What stood out to me the most was how every single step in the process double-checks the step prior. This is just one example of why the Savage quality is so incredible”

Bezzina and Kratochvil explained the idea behind the building of the 110 Ultralite platform, and what makes this rifle unique. The Savage 110 Ultralite first debuted in 2020, while its most recent iteration – the 110 Ultralite Elite – became available in early 2024.

“The Savage team made us feel right at home and I could tell they are proud of what they do,” said Ryan Parks, producer of the HISTORY® Channel program. “American manufacturing is not dead. I loved learning about the interesting history of Savage and its commitment to keeping jobs here.”

Savage Arms® AccuCan™ Suppressors Seeing Major Success with Key Distributors

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – June 20, 2024 – Savage Arms continues to see growth and scale with the AccuCan line of suppressors that debuted at the close of 2023. The brand announces today that multi-caliber options are available through distributors Sport South, RSR, Lipseys, Chattanooga Shooters Supply, Davidson’s and Bill Hicks. This widespread availability helps these lightweight, field-serviceable suppressors reach a wide new customer base when ATF approval speed is at an all-time high.  

The AccuCan line has seen great traction and adoption by hunters and shooters alike. Individual models AC338, AC30 and AC22 create separation in a busy market. Savage developed these suppressors with difference-making features around usability in the field, durability and ruggedness. AccuCan Suppressors also greatly reduce other disturbances such as flash and recoil to further improve the shooting experience.

“Getting well-known distributors to buy in and carry our line has been a huge reason for the AccuCan line’s early success,” said Rob Gates, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Savage. “We were proud of the products we brought to market. We didn’t just develop a ‘me too’ suppressor line. But without the support of key customers, sales would be an uphill battle. Excellent availability combined with growing consumer demand for suppressors and reductions in ATF approval time has created a hot market for suppressors in general. The AccuCan line is quickly becoming a top choice for hunters and shooters and we are thrilled the Savage Arms brand is excelling in another category in the hunting, shooting and outdoor space.”

The AccuCan Difference

Each individual AccuCan offering is feature-rich and designed to specific criteria that allow them to go head-to-head with existing suppressors in their product category. But there are a few distinct qualities across the entire AccuCan line that represent the innovation driving demand right now.

Today’s hunters and shooters are mobile, so suppressors can’t be a burden in the weight category. AccuCan offerings from the AC338 down to the AC22 are some of the lightest suppressors available today. They’re also rugged and boast unmatched strength-to-weight ratios.

AccuCans feature a MonoKore design that increases accuracy for seasoned and novice shooters alike. This is achieved by the fact that these suppressors reduce flash and recoil—as well as sound. After all, modern suppressors should do more than reduce a little noise.

Suppressors are now used frequently and owners also need and want to be self-reliant. That’s why each AccuCan is field-serviceable with an easy-to-disassemble/reassemble three-piece design. So whether shooters are at home on the bench or in the field on a hunt, adjustments can be done swiftly without the need for specialized tools or equipment.

Celebrate National Hydration Day With HOIST®

Celebrate National Hydration Day With HOIST® 

CINCINNATI, Ohio, (June 19, 2024) – As National Hydration Day approaches on June 23, 2024, HOIST®, innovator in the hydration industry, is eager to share its top hydration tips during the nation’s first heatwave of the summer season. As one of three electrolyte beverages approved for use by the U.S. Department of Defense, HOIST hydration is well-known, and widely used, for its ability to improve performance and maintain peak physical and mental health.

Staying hydrated is crucial for overall health, and since 2016, National Hydration Day aims to promote awareness on the importance of individuals staying hydrated during the height of the summer. 

Tips on Staying Hydrated This Summer

1. Respond to dehydration before it occurs by drinking electrolytes, such as HOIST, or a glass of water first thing in the morning.

2. Set reminders throughout the day to hydrate.

3. Consider using rapid hydration solutions, such as HOIST, during intense physical workouts, extreme temperatures or general fatigue and dehydration for rapid replenishment of fluids and electrolytes.

4. Adjust your diet by incorporating hydrating foods like melons and leafy greens, and limiting alcohol and caffeine intake.

“Whether you’re looking to relieve symptoms of dehydration or simply making hydration a priority in your daily routine, HOIST can play a crucial role," said HOIST Co-founder Kelly Heekin. "We believe in our formula and know that it offers a rapid and replenishing solution that’s proven to hydrate longer than water. Whether you’re prepping for a hike or a long day on the beach, we want HOIST to help people function at their best level of health.”

How To Tell When You’re Getting Dehydrated

1. Be on the lookout for thirst signals like dryness of mouth, lips and tongue. 

2. Headaches, feeling dizzy, lightheaded or fatigue.

3. Be aware of your body’s natural response during physical activities. Make sure to rehydrate before, during and after physical activity.

4. Check yourself by pinching the skin over the back of the hand, stomach or chest. Dehydration will cause the skin to return to its normal state at a slower pace.

“A common misconception is that drinking plain water is sufficient for effective hydration. However, without replenishing electrolytes and carbohydrates, there is a risk of developing an electrolyte imbalance, which can result in symptoms such as nausea and muscle cramping,” said HOIST Director of Business Development Rachel Trotta. “Proper hydration benefits everyone, not just athletes.”

How HOIST Outperforms Other Sports Beverages

1. HOIST contains 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks

2. HOIST has an ideal balance of carbohydrates, electrolytes and water for quick absorption.

3. The HOIST specially-formulated blend closely mimics the body’s natural osmolality, allowing for rapid replenishment of electrolytes and fluids. 

4. Check out this video to see the science behind the success of the HOIST formula https://youtu.be/T8CCylE_6FA

“HOIST has proven to be a game-changer for myself and our team,” said Chris Buescher, driver of the No. 17 for NASCAR’s RFK Racing. “Especially now that we’re into the summer stretch of our schedule, staying ahead of the game in hydration is key, and HOIST enables us to do that and beyond. We’re thankful to the HOIST team for continuing to help keep our team at its peak performance, and share the many sentiments that HOIST has changed how we perform, both on the track and off.”

HOIST IV-level drinks offer quick and refreshing hydration options, available in bottles, powder sticks and liquid pouches. By paying attention to thirst signals and following these simple tips, you can effectively stay hydrated and function at your best, especially during the soaring temperatures of the summer months.
