It is that time of the year again Meat Eaters.  Time for some Best Ranger.  This year Grey Group Training will be streaming the Best Range Competition 24/7 in the Ft. Bragg Pro Shop on the two big screens.  Come by to hang out in the lounge and watch the competitors in the suck.  If you can't make it down to the Shop, be sure to visit the live stream.   For more in depth info please continue reading the official provided info from the experts.

"The Best Ranger Competition 2013, is the 30th anniversary of this grueling competition, starring the best soldiers of the world, our United States Army, RANGERS! The Best Ranger Competition was started in 1982 after Dick Leandri found a way to honor his personal friend, Lieutenant General David E. Grange, Jr.

This year's competition will be featured with  live streaming coverage courtesy of The National Ranger Association. The live stream of the Best Ranger Competition will be hosted at www.live.bestrangercompetition.com.  

"Family, friends and supporters of the Ranger community can log in from anywhere in the world and keep up to date with what is happening with the competition," says Candyss Bryant. 

The Best Ranger Competition and the Ranger community has a long history of avid community supporters. Dick Leandri wanted to recognize his friend, past director of the Ranger Department and former Commanding General of Fort Benning, Georgia, with a perpetual event. He and several other professional businessmen formed Chairborne Rangers, Inc., to help support the initiation of such an event that we now call the Best Ranger Competition.

The competition has evolved over the past thirty years from one that was originally created to salute the best two-man “buddy” team in the Ranger Department at Fort Benning. Every year the competition is reviewed and tweaked, to what is currently in place for this year, to determine the best two-man team from the entire United States Armed Forces.

The Best Ranger Competition is held on Fort Benning and is open to the public. For more information call the Ranger Training Brigade at 706-544-6451.

The National Ranger Association, Inc. was formed in 1998 and is governed by a board of six. The Association was established to recognize distinguished members in the Ranger community and to promote the values established in the Ranger Creed. The National Ranger Association helps to raise funds to support various Ranger community activities which includes The Best Ranger Competition, The Ranger Hall of Fame and the Distinguished Member of the Brigade.

Grey Group pops up in the most interesting places.  We received this pic from a long time friend who spotted the "Blasters Welcome" tastefully placed on the entrance to one of the S Shops.


Here at Grey Group we are firm believers that an Armed Society is a Polite Society. Also we believe that Gun Free Zones which disarm Citizens makes them Sheep, and easier prey for Wolves. This inspired the newest decal from Grey Group, Blasters Welcome. Show your support of an Armed Citizenry and proudly display your Blasters Welcome. The decal measures approximately 3.5"x9". If you are in the Ft Bragg area, we welcome you to come and see what the decals look like on the doors, and to proudly, lawfully, and responsibly carry your Blaster while you are here.

Our first featured submission is from Mike P, who is enjoying his time today in beautiful Hawaii.  Mike, next time the staff would like to ride along in your luggage.  Thanks for sending in the pic.



 

So, what do you get the man who loves art, guns, and art of guns?  Easy, you get them some very cool prints from XrayGunPrints.  These are good enough that we are going to be putting them into the office here at Grey Group.   Now enough from us, we will let the man behind the CAT Scan prints lay down the knowledge.  Please follow the link below and spend a few dollars if you appreciate the prints.


"I used a $750,000 medical CAT scanner to scan this gun. It took many scanning sessions and tweaking of the machine to optimize the image. This is my personal shotgun. The source image was then lifted, placed on a black background, centered ,sized. Artifacts were removed and the image tediously cleaned up and optimized for printing. It took two years of effort and 4 generations to produce this print. This high resolution print has a very mechanical stark appearance that all gun lovers would enjoy. All the inner working of the gun are clearly visible and seen in a way that is virtually never come across. This print is on premium quality satin photographic paper. Frame is not included.


This is a one of a kind print. Nobody in the world as far as I know has produced high quality CAT scan images of guns like this. I've never seen such a print for sale (Google and see!). It is a very unique piece of artwork that is ready to frame and hang on the wall.


Looks great in man-caves, gun/safe rooms, and alongside military collectibles. Hunters and gun owners of all ilk will also readily appreciate this print.


100% full money back guarantee. If the print does not meet your expectations then simply return it to me within 14 days in the same shipping tube with a brief note and I'll refund your purchase. " (XrayGunPrints)

Mission Ready Equipment is pleased to announce the acquisition of Grey Group
Training.


Mission Ready Equipment recognizes the strength of Grey Group Training’s brand and
sales model by committing to the company’s growth.

“Grey Group Training customers will be able to choose great products and training from
an expanded assortment of manufacturers and will have more depth of product on the
shelves for both the ecommerce store and the retail store,” says Mission Ready
Equipment President Jeff Smith.

Grey Group Training’s mission and identity will not change as they seek to grow their
retail and training operations by adding new storefronts and expanding their roster of
trainers as Mission Ready Equipment’s retail sales and training partner.
"Growing from one location to two locations is not twice as hard; it is ten times as hard,”
says Smith, "We are excited to be able to bring our experience in growing other retail
brands to Grey Group.”
The move continues Mission Ready Equipment's growth in the tactical marketplace while
allowing it to focus on its core mission as a premier wholesale, online and direct sales
supplier to military, federal, state and local government agencies.
In addition to retail, the acquisition adds Grey Group Training’s experience in firearms,
combatives and combat medicine education to the current capabilities at Mission Ready
Equipment.

Smith says “Eric Page will take over as Grey Group's Vice President to manage the
operation as they align with Mission Ready Equipment's growth objectives. Eric has
been a part of Grey Group from the beginning and is a key figure in it’s future”. Smith
added “Grey Group’s own Josh Burmeister worked with us through the acquisition
process and contributed to a smooth ownership transition. Josh will be leaving to pursue
other projects.”

"The Grey Group staff can’t express how excited we are about becoming part of the
Mission Ready family. With their help in logistics and support Grey Group can get to
what we do best, giving the best service and products to our Brothers and Sisters in harms
way," says Grey Group Training Vice President Eric Page.

Mission Ready Equipment was formed in 2010 by a group of dedicated individuals with
more than 28 years experience in equipping & instructing individuals and teams, whether
Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, Private Security or Fire and Rescue, in layered
clothing systems, footwear, packs, tents, sleeping systems, and climbing/high altitude
mountaineering equipment.

The acquisition closed February 14, 2013.
