First Generation Of New Fn Sc-1 Over And Under Shotgun Launched

McLean, VA (PRWEB) September 11, 2011

FNH USA, LLC is pleased to announce the limited release of its SC-1 over and under sporting competition shotgun, which is the first over and under shotgun sold by FNH USA.

?The FN SC-1 establishes a striking new standard in both performance and appearance that sets it apart from traditional over and under shotguns,? said Ken Pfau, Senior Vice President of Law Enforcement and Commercial Sales for FNH USA. ?This is a magnificent 12-gauge shotgun that is ready to go out of the box and will definitely turn some heads at the team?s upcoming matches.?

Today?s limited release is for 200 individual guns that were pre-sold prior to production. ?This first generation of the SC-1 was designed for a small number of competitors and diehard FN owners,? said Pfau. ?We were pleasantly surprised by the enormous amount of interest we received from our customers and plans for producing a second generation of the shotgun are already in the works for 2012.?

In terms of performance, the FN SC-1 features 28-inch back-bored ported barrels that are fully chrome-lined from chamber to muzzle for long life and added corrosion resistance. The barrels are equipped with Invector-Plus? stainless steel extended choke tubes with knurled bands and a blue FN USA Team collar for easy identification. The 10mm wide vented top rib has a brass mid-bead and fiber-optic front sight for quick and easy target acquisition.

In terms of appearance, the all-steel low profile receiver is embellished with a combination of brushed silver satin and bright FN USA Team blue. The blue and gray laminated wood stock is fitted with a premium sporting recoil pad, a fully adjustable comb and is checkered and textured for a sure grip under any shooting conditions.

?We are proud of Team FNH USA and are pleased with their winning track record on the national 3-gun shooting scene,? said Pfau. ?With the introduction of the SC-1, the team will now have an edge over its competition. This is the gun they?ll have in their hands when they step to the line on a flying clays layout.?

Simpsonville, SC (PRWEB) August 09, 2011

There?s nothing in the world like the sound of a loved one?s voice. Integrating printed cards with the personal connection you get from a video by adding QR Codes to greeting cards and invitations is now more exciting than ever. PostcardsandInvitations.com has just released a new product that creates a more personal connection by combining traditional print with online content.

Postcards and Invitations is the first company to assist their customers in generating their own QR code, choose a design and insert the QR code in a 1-2-3 step process.

QR Codes, or Quick Response Codes, are two-dimensional barcodes that may be scanned using any Smartphone.

The uses are almost unlimited and is the perfect marriage between traditional greeting cards and invitations and the exciting and interactive content of the online world.

?Just imagine how excited your friends will be to receive a birth announcement that includes a QR Code to connect them with an adorable video of your new baby,? said John Welsh, company founder and owner. ?This new technology can be used to enhance any postcard, greeting card or invitation. You can link the QR Code to a map, if you?re sending a party invitation. You can link it to your Facebook photos, if you?re sending a Christmas postcard. The possibilities are unlimited,? he continued.

When creating an invitation using the intuitive online design software available on the Postcards and Invitations website, it is surprisingly easy to add a QR Code. ?From our How-To Video that shows how to create a card, to our easy 1-2-3 Step Process for adding the QR Code to the template, it has never been easier for our customers to create memorable and exciting postcards and invitations,? said Welsh.

Some of the many uses for interactive cards are for photo Christmas Cards, birth announcements, baby shower invitations, graduation announcements, graduation invitations, party invitations, birthday cards, birthday party invitations, moving announcements, wedding invitations and thank you cards.
