Nineteen Eighty-Four, also known as 1984, is a 1984 British dystopian drama film written for the screen and directed by Michael Radford, based upon George Orwell's novel of the same name. Starring John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, and Cyril Cusack, the film follows the life of Winston Smith in Oceania, a country run by a totalitarian government.
The film, which features Burton's last screen appearance, is dedicated to him "with love and admiration."[4]
In a dystopian 1984, Winston Smith endures a squalid existence in the totalitarian superstate of Oceania under the constant surveillance of the Thought Police. The story takes place in London, the capital city of the territory of Airstrip One (formerly "either England or Britain").
Winston works in a small office cubicle at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history in accordance with the dictates of the Party and its supreme figurehead, Big Brother. A man haunted by painful memories and restless desires, Winston is an everyman who keeps a secret diary of his private thoughts, thus creating evidence of his thoughtcrime.
His life takes a fatal turn when he is accosted by a fellow Outer Party worker ŌĆö a mysterious, bold-looking girl named Julia ŌĆö and they begin an illicit affair. Their first meeting takes place in the remote countryside where they exchange subversive ideas before having sex. Shortly after, Winston rents a room above a pawn shop (in the supposedly safe proletarian area) where they continue their liaison. Julia ŌĆö a sensual, free-spirited young woman ŌĆö procures contraband food and clothing on the black market, and for a brief few months they secretly meet and enjoy an idyllic life of relative freedom and contentment together.
It comes to an end one evening, with the sudden raid of the Thought Police. They are both arrested and it's revealed that there is a telescreen hidden behind a picture on the wall in their room, and that the proprietor of the pawn shop, Mr. Charrington, is a covert agent of the Thought Police. Winston and Julia are taken away to be detained, questioned and brutally "rehabilitated" separately. Winston is brought to the Ministry of Love, where O'Brien, a high-ranking member of the Inner Party whom Winston had previously believed to be a fellow thought criminal and agent of the resistance movement led by the archenemy of the Party, Emmanuel Goldstein, systematically tortures him.
O'Brien instructs Winston about the state's true purpose and schools him in a kind of catechism on the principles of doublethink ŌĆö the practice of holding two contradictory thoughts in the mind simultaneously. For his final rehabilitation, Winston is brought to Room 101, where O'Brien tells him he will be subjected to the "worst thing in the world", designed specifically around Smith's personal phobias. When confronted with this unbearable horror ŌĆö which turns out to be a cage filled with wild rats ŌĆö Winston's psychological resistance finally and irretrievably breaks down, and he hysterically repudiates his allegiance to Julia. Now completely subjugated and purged of any rebellious thoughts, impulses, or personal attachments, Winston is restored to physical health and released.
In the final scene, Winston returns to the Chestnut Tree Caf├®, where he had previously seen the rehabilitated thought criminals Jones, Aaronson and Rutherford (themselves once prominent but later disgraced members of the Inner Party) who have since been "vaporized" and rendered unpersons. While sitting at the chess table, Winston is approached by Julia, who was similarly "rehabilitated". They share a bottle of Victory Gin and impassively exchange a few words about how they have betrayed each other. After she leaves, Winston watches a broadcast of himself on the large telescreen confessing his "crimes" against the state and imploring forgiveness from the populace.
Upon hearing a news report declaring the Oceanian army's utter rout of the enemy (Eurasian)'s forces in North Africa, Winston looks at the still image of Big Brother that appears on the telescreen, then turns away and almost silently says "I love you" - a phrase that he and Julia repeatedly used during their relationship, indicating the possibility that he still loves Julia. However, he could also be declaring his love for Big Brother instead, like in the book.[note 2]

In winter 1983, Radford asked his producer to try for the rights to Orwell's novel, with few expectations that they were available. It turned out that the rights were held by Marvin Rosenblum, a Chicago lawyer who had been trying on his own to get such a film produced.[5] Rosenblum agreed to become an executive producer, and while producer Simon Perry raised the production money from Richard Branson, Radford wrote the script, inspired by his idea to make a "science fiction film made in 1948."[5] The script was finished in three weeks.[5]
For the role of O'Brien, Paul Scofield was originally contracted to play the part, but had to withdraw after sustaining a broken leg while filming The Shooting Party.[5][6] Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery and Rod Steiger were all then considered.[5] Richard Burton, who was living in Haiti, joined the production six weeks into its shooting schedule[5] and insisted on his costume of a boiler suit being hand-made for him in Saville Row.[7][8]
Principal photography began on 19 March 1984, and ended in October 1984.[4] Some scenes were shot on the actual days noted in Winston's diary (for example: April 4, 1984) as well as at some of the actual locations and settings mentioned in OrwellŌĆÖs novel.[9]
The budget was originally ┬Ż2.5 million but this rose during filming and additional funds were required.[10]
Radford and cinematographer Roger Deakins originally wanted to shoot the film in black and white, but the financial backers of the production, Virgin Films, opposed this idea. Instead Deakins used a film processing technique called bleach bypass to create the distinctive washed-out look of the film's colour visuals. The film is a very rare example of the technique being applied to every release print, rather than the internegative or interpositive; as the silver is retained in the print and cannot be reclaimed by the lab, the cost is higher, but the retained silver gives a "depth" to the projected image.
The opening scenes of the film showing the Two Minutes' Hate were filmed in a grass-covered hangar at RAF Hullavington near Chippenham in Wiltshire.[11] Some scenes set in Victory Square were also filmed at Alexandra Palace in London.[12] Senate House (University of London) was used for exterior shots of the Ministry of Truth.
The disused Battersea Power Station in Wandsworth served as the fa├¦ade for the Victory Mansions; and the Beckton Gas Works in the Docklands of Newham was used as the setting for the proletarian zones. The pawnshop exterior, a pub scene and a scene with a prostitute were filmed in Cheshire Street, in London's East End, an area Orwell had visited and commented on in his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London. The canteen interiors were filmed in a disused Co-op grain mill at Silvertown.
In contrast, the idyllic, dreamlike "Golden Country", where Winston and Julia repair for their first tryst and which recurs in Winston's fantasies, was filmed in the southwest county of Wiltshire at a natural circle of hills called "The Roundway", near the town of Devizes. The scenes on the train were shot on the Kent and East Sussex Railway.
The film shared a number of locations with Brazil, which was filmed the same year.[5] An epigram in the closing credits claims that the film was shot during the very months and in the very locales when and where Orwell's novel was set.
Upon its U.S. premiere, Vincent Canby said the film was "admirable, bleakly beautiful", though "not an easy film to watch"; according to Canby, "Mr. Burton is fine as the suave, avuncular O'Brien - his last film role - and Miss Hamilton, with her little-girl prettiness combined with a steely self-assurance, would seem to be a major find as Julia. Mr. Hurt's performance, however, is the film's center of gravity. He is splendid, and if his Winston Smith never seems truly tragic, that's in the nature of the Orwell work, which has a journalistic dryness to it that denies tragic possibilities. Most stunning of all are the film's production design, by Allan Cameron, and Roger Deakins's photography, from which all the colors of sunlight have been drained."[2]
Roger Ebert awarded the film 3.5/4 stars, writing that it "penetrates much more deeply into the novel's heart of darkness" than previous adaptations, and describing Hurt as "the perfect Winston Smith."[13]
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an 80% "fresh" rating, based on 15 reviews.[14]
Controversy over the musical score
Virgin Films (formerly part of the Virgin Group), who financed the film, commissioned the British rock/pop duo Eurythmics to produce the music for the soundtrack. Radford objected to Virgin's insistence on using the more pop-oriented electronic Eurythmics music, as the traditional orchestral score originally intended for the film had been composed entirely by Dominic Muldowney a few months earlier.
Against Radford's wishes, Virgin exercised their right of final cut and replaced Muldowney's musical cues with the new Eurythmics contributions. One Eurythmics song, "Julia", was also heard in its entirety during the film's closing credits. However, Muldowney's main theme music (particularly the state anthem, "Oceania, 'tis for thee") was still prominently featured in the film. In November 1984, Virgin Records released the Eurythmics soundtrack album, featuring considerably altered versions of their music heard in the film, under the title 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother). Despite the controversy, the album reached number 23 on the UK Album Chart, and was later certified Gold by the BPI for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.[15] A song from the album, "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)", was released as a single just prior to the album and became one of Eurythmics' biggest hits, peaking at number 4 and was awarded a Silver disc for sales in excess of 200,000 copies.[15] The music video for the single featured clips from the film. The track "Julia" was also released as a single though peaked just outside the Top 40.
During his acceptance speech at the Evening Standard British Film Awards, Radford openly expressed his displeasure with Virgin's decision and claimed that the Eurythmics music had been "foisted" on his film. Radford had disowned Virgin's edit of the film featuring the mixed Eurythmics/Muldowney score, yet when Nineteen Eighty-Four made its theatrical debut on 10 October in London and on 14 December in New York[16] this was the version released in wide circulation. Michael Radford withdrew the film from consideration at the BAFTA awards in protest of Virgin's decision to change the musical score. Eurythmics responded with a statement of their own claiming no knowledge of prior agreements between Virgin and Radford/Muldowney.
In 1999, Muldowney's complete orchestral score (24 tracks in total) was released on a special limited edition CD album under the title Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Music of Oceania, to commemorate the film's 15th anniversary. The CD booklet featured previously unseen production photographs and artwork as well as liner notes by Radford.
On the subsequent MGM DVD release in North America in 2003, the film's color is restored to a normal level of saturation and the Eurythmics contributions to the score were removed entirely and replaced with Muldowney's musical cues as Radford had originally intendedŌĆöalthough both Eurythmics and Muldowney are still jointly credited in the opening and closing titles. This DVD release was quickly discontinued and currently remains out of print. This version had previously been shown by Channel 4 in the UK in the late-1980s. However, the MGM DVD release of the film in the UK in 2004 features the mixed Eurythmics/Muldowney soundtrack on the English- and French-language audio tracks as well as the original desaturated visuals.
The film won the Best British Film of the Year award at the Evening Standard British Film Awards. Also It won The Golden Tulip Award at Istanbul International Film Festival in 1985.
- ^ Canby's New York Times review lists the film's running time as 117 minutes.
- ^ The novel unambiguously ends with the words: "He loved Big Brother," whereas the movie seems to deliberately allow for either interpretation. Earlier, during Winston's conversation with Julia in the rented room, he stated that "if they can make me change my feelings, they can stop me from loving you, that would be real betrayal". In the final scene, the "real betrayal" has therefore either been committed or averted, depending on whether the "you" that Winston loves is Big Brother or Julia.

ATABAKI, PARVIZ (Parviz Atābaki, b. Mašhad, 28 February 1928; d. Tehran, 15 March 2004), diplomat, literary scholar, translator, and editor.
Parviz Atabaki was the son of Ḥeydar-Qoli Atabaki, a civil servant, who was related to Mirza ʿAli-Aṣḡar Khan Atābak-e Aʿẓam, Amin-al solṭān, grand vizier under the Qajar kings. Atabaki began his education in Mašhad in 1933, graduating from Šāh-Reżā High School in 1945. Meanwhile he studied Arabic grammar and literature with Sheikh Ḥassan Adib-e Heravi, a scholar of religious studies (Atabaki, 2001, folio, 3).
In 1945 he entered Tehran University's Faculty of Law and Political Science, and as was the case with a good number of his peers, he soon joined the recently established Tudeh Party (see COMMUNISM ii, iii; see also Żiyāʾ-Ẓarifi, 1999, pp. 63, 119, 125; Atabaki, 2004a, pp.149-51; Ibid, 2004b, p. 105). In October 1951 he found employment with the Ministry of Education and taught at primary and secondary schools until February 1958, when he was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he remained until retirement in February 1980 (Atabaki, 2001, folio 1; Mowjāni, 2012, p. 25; Homāyunpur, 2005a, p. 6). Of his years of service at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during which he served in several countries, his two missions to Beirut are of more significance. His first tenure in Beirut from 1964 to 1967, as the Embassy of Iran's third secretary, coincided with a period of high tensions in the region culminating in the Six Day War between Israel on one side and Lebanon, Syria, Algeria, Egypt, and Yemen on the other. During his second period of service in Beirut as the Embassy's Chargé d'Affaires (1978-1980), he had to deal with the crucially significant disappearance of Musā Ṣadr, the leader of the Lebanese Shiites. He was also involved in direct negotiations with Yasser Arafat and other leaders of the newly established Palestinian Territories to repatriate the Iranian troops who had had peacekeeping duties under the supervision of the United Nations (Atabaki, 2001, folio, 3; Mowjāni, 2012, p. 25; Homāyunpur, 2005a, p. 6).
While in Beirut he continued his studies and in 1968 obtained his doctorate in Islamic Philosophy from the Faculty of Literature at St. Joseph University. He wrote his dissertation in Arabic on the life and works of Ahmad Ḡazāli. He also taught Persian language and comparative literature at the Faculty of Literature, University of Damascus (1964-66). He was decorated with the fifth order tāj (crown) medal in 1966 and the fourth order homāyun (imperial) medal in 1968 for his services (Mowjāni, 2012, pp. 25-26).
Up to a few months before his death at Kasrā Hospital in Tehran, where he received treatment for lung cancer, Atabaki cooperated with Šerkat-e entešārāt-e ʿelmi va farhangi, an organisation that had replaced Moʾassasa-ye entešārāt-e Ferānklin in 1994 (see Franklin Book Program), as a chief editor and a member of its Book Council.
Translations. Atabaki was a skilled translator from Arabic into Persian. His translation of Ebn Farra's Rosol-al-moluk was published as Safirān (Envoys, Tehran, 1984), and was followed by the translation of Jaʿfar ʿĀmeli's al-Ḥayāt al-Siāsiya Lel- Emām al-Reżā as Zendegi-e siāsi-e Emām Reżā (Qom, 1986).
Mention should also be made of Peykār-e Ṣeffin (The battle of Siffin, Tehran, 1987), a translation of Waqʿa-al-Ṣeffīn by Naṣr b. Mozāhem-e Menqari (d. 828), a Shiʿite historian who has provided one of the earliest and most comprehensive accounts of the battle, in which the armies of ʿAli b. Abi-Ṭāleb and Moʿāwiya met on the plain of Ṣeffīn in 36/657. Atabaki's rendition of the text into Persian, unlike the two preceding attempts (Sondos va Estabraq, by Sheikh Moḥammad-Mahdi Masjedšāhi, lithographed in Esfahan in 1927, and Wāqeʿa-ye Ṣeffin dar tāriḵ, by Karim Zamāni, Tehran, 1985), is considered as an example of eloquent prose, clarity of expression, accuracy in rendering Arabic poems and expressions into Persian, studied presentation of names, and correct use of vowel signs. Atabaki based his translation on ʿAbd-al-Salām Hārun's edition of Menqari's Waqʿa-al-Ṣeffīn (Alexandria, 1963), lithographed in Tehran in 1983 (Atabaki, 1987, Introduction; Yusofi, 1987, pp. 20-23). The book won the Islamic Republic of Iran's "Book of the Year Award" as the best translation in the field of history in 1988.
Atabaki's translation of Ebn Jobayr's (1145-1217) travel account from Spain to Mecca in 1183 as Safar-nāma-ye Ebn-e Jobayr (Mašhad, 1991) was followed by the publication of Tāriḵ-e Ayyubiān in five volumes (Tehran, 1990-2003), a translation of Ḥasanayn Moḥammad's edition of Mofarrej al-korub fi aḵbār Bani Ayyub, by Ebn Wāṣel, a Syrian scholar of the thirteenth century. The book chronicles the rule of the Ayyubids, from their establishment to the end, and is principally based on personal observations. The fourth volume of the book, which covers the Mongol invasion of Iran, was translated and published before the other volumes (Atabaki, 2003, pp. 15-26).
Mention should also be made of Rahāvard-e ḵerad (Tehran, 1997), a translation of Toḥaf-al-ʿoqul, by Ebn-Šoʿba Ḥarrāni, and Tafsir-e Hedāyat (Mašhad, 2000), which comprises four volumes of Sayyed Moḥammad-Taqi Modarresi's Men hodāʾ-al Qor'ān in eighteen-volumes (Homāyunpur, 2005b, p. 47; Atabaki, 2001, folio, 5-6).
Critical edition of classical texts. Atabaki's edition of ʿObayd Zākāni's collected works, entitled Taṣḥiḥ va šarḥ-e kolliyāt-e ʿObayd-e Zākāni, was published in Tehran in 1964. More a historical and literary contribution than providing philological insight, the book offers a detailed annotation of ʿObayd's prose and poetry, highlighting the Arabic and Persian sources for anecdotes and lines of verse (Meneghini).
In 1996 Atabaki published a new edition of Jules Mohl's (1838-1878) edition of the Šāh-nāma, entitled Šāh-nāma-ye āsān-ḵˇān (Tehran, 1996). The book benefits from Atabaki's calculated modifications of the print typographical errors, inclusion of vowels, provision of subtitles for different sections, as well as an alphabetized index of words and terms.
Atabaki's lifelong involvement with the Šāh-nāma culminated in the publication of Šāh-nāma-ye Farzān (Tehran, 1999), based on the editions of Jules Mohl, Jalāl Ḵāleqi-Moṭlaq, and E. E. Bertels (Moscow), as well as Bondāri's Arabic translation of the book. It earned him praise from some critics for its detailed and accessible descriptions (Afšār, 1999, pp. 321-30; Atabaki, 1999b, pp. 1-20), and it stirred the critical concern of others, who disputed the consistency of his editorial techniques (Ḵaṭibi, 2000, pp. 64-66). His index of the book's people, places, and concepts was published in a separate volume as Vāža-nāma-ye Šāh-nāma-ye Farzān (Tehran, 2001). The accuracy of the index also raised critical concerns. (For examples of the erroneous definitions see Mehraki, 2001, pp. 46-49.)
Other works. Farhang-e jāmeʿ-e kārbordi-e ʿArabi be Fārsi-e Farzān (Tehran, 2000-2002), is a four-volume reference book and yields a comprehensive inventory of 76,506 entries on old and contemporary Arabic words, along with detailed definitions and descriptions, as well as tables on the conjugation of Arabic verbs. A concise, one-volume version of the book was published in 2010 (Ḵorramšāhi, 2012, pp. 654-58; Atabaki, 1999a, pp. 1-5). Atabaki's articles on literature and contemporary history were published in the periodicals Našr-e dāneš, Boḵārā, and Naqd o baresi-e ketāb-e Tehrān (see Afšār, 1995, pp. 192, 574; Ibid, 2004, pp. 83, 462, 522). A number of his poems were also published in Naqd o baresi-e ketāb-e Tehrān (Homāyunpur, 2005b, p. 47; Kāḵi, 2006, pp. 83-85).

Here you can see a detailed look at the forecast for the next 48 hours. Note that the base for this is our Meteogram product, which shows a good average forecast for Wernborn (Hochtaunuskreis, Hesse, Germany).
However, you can also look at our compact prediction based on any other model that forecasts for your chosen location.
The following models are available for Wernborn:
Swiss Super HD (2-3 days), COSMO-D2 (1-2 days), ECMWF 6z/18z (3 days), ECMWF IFS HRES (5 days), ICON-EU (5 days), Swiss HD (3 days), EURO-4 (2 days), GFS (5 days), GEM (5 days), ACCESS-G (5 days), ICON (5 days), NORWAY (5 days), DWD MOSMIX (5 days)
This plot displays the 14 day temperature forecast for your selected location, Wernborn.
The red numbers show the expected high temperature for a given day, while the blue numbers show the expected low temperature. Because forecast uncertainty increases with time, we also display the range of possible high/low temperature outcomes, shown as the shaded red/blue regions. The actual high/low temp could fall anywhere in that shaded region, and the larger the shaded regions are, the higher the forecast uncertainty is.
Current weather - Here we've put together a glance at all the most important information about the current weather in Wernborn (Hochtaunuskreis, Hesse, Germany). You can see with the radar HD if precipitation is falling at the moment, or headed towards Wernborn soon. You can also see where there are thunderstorms currently ongoing, as well as where thunderstorms have occurred in recent weeks and months with our lightning analysis tool. Our HD satellite images of Wernborn will show you whether there's sunshine currently in the area, or if clouds are making for a more gloomy day. Finally, current observations will tell you what current temperatures look like around Wernborn at the moment, as well as if it's humid and/or windy.
Forecast for the next few days - The weather forecast for Wernborn is available in several different versions, all clearly and simply displayed here on the Weather Wernborn page. For the short term, we have data based on a single weather model that is known to deliver the best forecast for Wernborn. For the longer term, we have forecasts for the next two weeks based on an analysis of many different possible forecast outcomes that will give you a sense of not just what's most likely, but how the forecast could change in future updates as we get closer to any given date. If the range of possible outcomes is narrow, you can have high confidence in the forecast. If the range is wide, you know there's more uncertainty, and to not give too much credence to any one possible forecast outcome. We also have other products such as Meteograms and Forecast XL elsewhere on our site to give you additional options for figuring out the forecast for Wernborn.

Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978
The program parallels Braxton's 1970s Creative Orchestra work for Arista Records, re-released by Mosaic Records as an eight-CD boxed set in 2008. Ultimately, the artist's creative persuasions instill a seat-of-the-pants type of entertainment factor. The orchestra sheds new light on the oft-used, "cutting- edge" descriptor. And, given the time frame, the music holds its weight 30 years after its initial release.
Braxton's compositions contain odd-metered developments as he amalgamates the grand schema with avant expressionism amid unorthodox treatments by synth ace Bob Ostertag and angular electric guitar parts by James Emery. On "Language Improvisations," interweaving horns, touched with a semi-classical tone, give way to a symphony of abstracts, hued by percussionist Thurman Barker's vibes work and Wheeler's blaring solo. The multi-part framework elicits asymmetrical doses of emotive aspects, including loneliness and tumult, emphasized by Ostertag's streaming synth maneuvers.
Braxton's overall muse consists of densely populated mini-motifs, offset by intricately executed bop choruses, wily soloing spots, and pungent accents by the horn section. He also injects a festive aura into various movements, yet does so in non-traditional formats. It's all about synchronicity and balanced approaches, to complement the occasional free-form breakouts. Braxton's piece "Comp. 59" is embedded with start-stop passages, booming punctuations, and Ehrlich's whirlwind sopranino solo. Here, the artists fuse a contemporary classical vibe with misty dreamlike intervals and gobs of impressionism. Essentially, (Köln) 1978 looms as a monumental work, highlighting Braxton's striking ingenuity, acute vision, and nouveau concepts by transforming jazz music into an illimitable vista.

The water front rooms are spacious and the view is great. From the people working on the grounds to the breakfast lady to the front desk staff and housekeepers all were very pleasant and helpful. The entire place is very neet and clean, and I received a great rate on my room. The experience was very nice and I will certainly be back.

Of all of the large-scale, public art installations that have popped up in Miami Beach this week, one of the most interesting has to be Gyspy, the 60-foot tall red-eyed dog who has taken up residence at the Lords South Beach on Collins Avenue.
Created by Desi Santiago, this hound does more than just look ominous—her eyes move, and she even barks. You can also ask Gypsy for a fortune by writing a question on a card and pressing a button. It's worth stopping by to see her dramatic responses.

DNA studies are a new and developing field and it was only on 7 September 2010 that the Irish genome was published for the first time. The study of Irish genealogies, on the other hand, represents the oldest academic discipline known on the island, since genealogical information forms the bulk of material recorded on our fifth century and later ogham stones. In that context, work by the Department of Genetics in TCD has led to some very interesting research on the way in which identifying the DNA associated with specific surnames can reveal new and interesting angles on our understanding of early medieval Ireland, its kingdoms and its relationships with Viking migrants from Scandinavia. This paper provides a summary of that research as well as a medieval historian's critique of some of the interpretations offered. One of the most famous articles produced by the TCD group is its identification of a characteristic DNA haplotype which it links to the figure of Níall Noígiallach (Niall of the Nine Hostages), founder of the Uí Néill overlordship of Tara. In the second part of the paper the surnames of Meath and Westmeath are examined in the light of the ongoing studies, and possible avenues for future research are suggested.
Dr Catherine Swift is Director of Irish Studies at Mary Immaculate Training College, University of Limerick. Dr Swift took her primary degree in Archaeology and History in UCD. She subsequently gained Master's degrees at the University of Durham and at TCD, and a doctorate at the University of Oxford. She taught in several universities in both Ireland and Britain before going to Limerick. She has published widely in the field of early Irish history. Her current research in DNA is in pursuit of evidence for early medieval migration in the Viking period.

Hydrogenated Carboxylated Acrylonitrile-Nitrile Rubber (HXNBR) exhibits significantly higher tear strength at high temperatures when compared to regular HNBR and higher tensile strength and higher elongation at break than either regular HNBR or XNBR. This material has improved heat and ozone resistance compared to XNBR while providing superior abrasion resistance - better than both HNBR & XNBR.
HXNBR can provide excellent service life in applications such as oilfield, automotive, and refrigerants. Dynamic applications requiring long service life or in abrasive environments are especially well suited to HXNBR. Internally lubricated compounds are outstanding for extended wear dry air applications.
The service temperature range is generally -40° to 300° F (-40° to 150° C), but can be extended in special applications. PAI offers HXNBR compounds in a hardness of 90 durometer. Black is the standard color.

March 18, 2009
Econopocalypse! AIG! St. Patrick's Day hangover! There's a lot going on lately that isn't exactly motivating frowns to turn upside down. Luckily I came across the video below and it has brightened up my day (or at least distracted me from my nagging thoughts of a dystopic future):
MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.
The video was posted online 10 months ago, so forgive me if you're hipper than I am and this is old news to you. But after coming across it via a friend I just couldn't not share it. If you're interested in exploring more of BLU's incrediable art click here.
Update: On a slightly different note, another friend just sent me this (my grandparents were sheep farmers, so I'm a sucker for impressive herding):

Ladies and Gentlemen --
I get as frustrated as everyone else at times over the current (and drastic) ammunition shortage, even though I understand that it boils down to a simple matter of supply and demand. Like anyone else, I get irked when a business's ad becomes out of date yet still appears on a third-party website, so that when one follows the link the promoted deal appears suddenly never to have existed.
But as a business owner myself, I understand that often such things are beyond a company's control or ability to respond in a timely way. Nevertheless, I sent you some feedback about a week ago on the topic, and I stand by it.
But I'm writing today to let you know how impressed I've been by your professionalism and work ethic. While I was disappointed to click on a TSUSA online ad link only to find that the pricing was out of date, your follow-through was impressive. When the ammunition I wanted became available within two days (albeit in a smaller quantity at the price point I was seeking), your automated system reliably sent me an email informing me of the new stock.
At a time when other retailers (including some of the national "names") engaged in naked price-gouging (such as selling fairly standard pistol ammunition at over $2.00 per round), your email notification offered the same price that was posted at the time I signed up for email notification.
My ammunition was shipped the next business day (an impressive feat in itself, given the current state of affairs), I was provided with a tracking number, and my package arrived well packed and in fine condition. That's excellent performance, and I commend you for it.
I'll certainly be a TSUSA repeat customer. In the current environment, I'm unwilling to pay for and then start the clock ticking on a premium membership when virtually all the ammunition that I use is unavailable (in any quantity, much less in bulk), but I certainly will do so once we return to some semblance of normalcy.
I imagine you receive quite a lot of "hate mail" at present, so I'm happy to take this opportunity to let you know of my good experience and the degree to which I've been impressed. I wish you continued success in your business and offer my thanks for the important service that you're providing for responsible firearms owners across the country
With best regards --
Steve Adragna
Ordered 2 cases of 9mm yesterday around 10:30 AM.
Received it today at 9 AM!
That has to be a new record!
Great job!
Gerry Connors
Just a note of KUDOS to your organization and the shipping dept.
Placed an order late THURS, shipped FRI, arrived before 0900 SAT!!
Simply OUTSTANDING!!
Your friend from Pennsylvania in the shooting sports,
I just wanted to reach out to target sports USA and tell them thank you for refunding me on the Tulammo, not only did you guys deliver the Ammo I ordered so quickly but when you said you would give me a refund and that Fedex would pick up the ammo off of my porch you guys did that in record time, and I just want to tell target sports USA how much I appreciate how professional everything went with such a smooth transition of picking up the ammo and giving me back my refund made me one happy customer, and with that as soon as I saw my refund and how you did everything else in a timely fashion I ordered almost $500 of ammo from you guys again, thank you so much for everything you done and that's what keeps customers like myself from coming back, thanks again, Marc
I have ordered from you twice and i must say your speed for filling orders is superb. I ordered thursday late and i recieved it saturday by 1 pm. I just wanted you to know. So many people write to complain but not many take the time to compliment. Thank you. Doreen. Roskop
Dear target sports, I'd like to take a minute to say thank you very much on your prompt and speedy service that you guys constantly give on every order I have purchased in the past..My brother told me to buy from you as he does and now I buy Only from you guys..In times we are living in I'm sure most people complain and annoy you with most frivolous and petty questions and nasty addittudes...so I want to just tip my hat to you and say thank you for your services and wonderful prices!..keep up the good work and God bless America!
Steven Reed
Good evening:
I wanted to say thank you for my mystery box. All I can say is, WOW!!! Thanks to you guys, I got to literally experience Christmas in July! I am extremely pleased with the content of my box and with my Prime Membership. I really appreciate the gift. Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Bruce E. Taylor
Mystery Box, was kinda cool.
Thank you for thinking of your customers, it was a nice gift!.
You all have been the best the last few years.
Will look forward to purchase more in the future.
Thank you again
John Burch.
I just wanted to say how easy it is to do business with your company, I am more than happy with your outstanding service.
I placed an order for some pistol ammo 2 1/2 days ago and it arrived today, the same week , OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING.
A sincere thank you to the entire staff at Target Sports. I have placed numerous orders in the past and you guys always come thru as you say you will, a rare service these days.
Look forward to doing business in the future.
Have a great weekend.
Hi CJ,
I received my mystery box today. Thank you so very much! You are by far the best ammo store in the nation and I share my opinion and experience widely on the web. One commetn I would have i sthat TS is often and fora longer time out of certain ammo. It would be nice if you had more ins tock or can restock faster. Nevertheless I am totally happy and will continue to buy only from you !
Best Regards,
Alexander Drotschmann
Received notification of shipment. Then discovered I had a family emergency and would have to leave town before ammo arrived.
Called and the customer service rep went out of her way to contact Target Sports warehouse manger who expedited the shipment.
Shipment arrived today.
Great job...kudos
Thank you
Bob Pettigrew
Keith Hoffman
To whom it may concern, i would like to thank you for promptly shipping out my order. And also i like to say all your products are at a very reasonable price, and thank you for shipping to long island new york . I forwarded your web site to all my friends. Thank you again for beinging a friend to new york, rich spinosa
Keith Hoffman
Thank you for your reply. Shipment was delivered today around noon. Even you're in the process of moving, I give 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to your processes of order entry, acknowledging the order to customer, responding to emails, and timely shipping.
Fantastic job done by all involved!!
Feel free to share this if you choose.
Keith Hoffman
First off, really like buying from you guys.
Velvet smooth fast transaction, zero hassles. It's also a HUGE bonus to guys like me that you don't mandatorily hijack our email addys & auto spam us like so many sellers so. For every one of me there are hundreds of people who appreciate that but never stop to say "Thanks TS USA for NOT sales spamming us."
OK, onto what I hope is an easy question. Order History. Is there any way I can view my previous order history on the TS USA site?
Thanks, D.R.
I had never heard of this company until a few weeks ago. Signed up with a new account, price shopped everything I was looking for and placed an order. Only one item was cheaper at one of my previous suppliers, everything else was ordered as a first time customer. Order placed Thursday morning at 6am... all items received Saturday at 2:00pm. TargetSportsUSA did a fantastic job on every front. I will continue to check back in for more great deals.
I paid 20.00+ for a box locally a few weeks ago that I just got for 9.99. I am all about supporting the 'local guy', but can't pass up ammo at half the cost.
Thanks so much.
I'm guessing you always don't get emails thanking you for the great products, price and service you offer (most likely the opposite), but I though it important to send you this quick email. I first ordered from you 5 years ago amidst negative comments and on-line videos from a disgruntled customer. Regardless, I placed an order and have been a customer ever since. You guys really do a good job keeping your base updated on stocked ammo, prices, etc. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your service in this on-line age of ripoffs and scams.
Hi my name is Abraham and generally people message or email about negative stuff but I wanted to let you know about the positive stuff I have bough over 6thousand bullets from you guys so far if not more and will continue to spread the word about you guys and how awesome your service is. I love how fast , professional and cheap you guys are I just really wanted to thank you guys and let you know the amount of stuff you have on stock and the way you guys work is amazing thank you so much have a good one.
I just wanted to express that your company gave me COMPLETE customer satisfaction. My orders always arrive at my door step in a timely manner, and when ever i call your customer service i always get great help. I usually wouldnt email like this but today i received a package that i didnt expect to get to my door until maybe friday or Saturday, but once again you guys knocked it out the park. I tell all my range buddies and family about your company and even post you guys on slick guns.com because you guys beat everybody else with free shipping on bulk orders (NICE!). Well have a nice day and keep up the good work
Thank you your speedy service and quality. I will be back! Love free shipping!! thanks, Denny

To whom it may concern,
It seems more and more these days that business's desire to truly assist their customers and treat them with caring, respect, and appreciation is fading away. It is all to common now to get voice recordings or get directed to five different people before someone is willing to assist you. With this said it is understandable that most customers don't get treated quite the way they should and often do not have much positive experiences to write companies about.
Well I would like to say that I am very happy to be writing this email to commend an employee of yours that is exceptional at treating customers like people and not just a voice on the phone. This person is Ivana. My name is Joe Johnson and I ordered a firearm from your company and had some issues with the FFL dealer. Upon contacting your company I was directed to Ivana. Ivan was courteous, polite, positive, happy, proactive, and considerate. WOW..... Unfortunately as I mentioned above this is a very different experience with customer service now these days and even harder to find individuals that treat people/customers in the manner that Ivana treated me. I would like to thank her again and let you know as a company you should feel very lucky to have her as an employee. There are several dozen internet firearm dealers and the only thing that sets them apart is how they treat there customers.
My family, friends and I own many, many, firearms and I will definitely tell all of them to look to your company in the future.
Thank you again.
Joe Johnson
P.S.- Give Ivana a salary increase. She is definitely worth it.
TargetSportUSA is a great place to buy ammo!!! They are reliable and process your order quickly while providing the best price around with free shipping on case lots.
They also provide reliable ballistics information & reviews about the ammo you're thinking about buying. They're also reliable about contacting you when they're out of the ammo you're interested in.
I've never been disappointed with TargetSportUSA or the products they sell!!!
If you have any questions please don't hesitated I call or email me.
A Happy, Loyal,Customer,
Scott Lennarson
I had paid for a signature to be required to complete the delivery process, considering the nature of the order. This whole process was pleasant and easy as usual with buying from Target Sports USA either online or with one of your sales associates. I'm not going to go into the details ask Victoria or look up my account if your interested, I'm sure it's documented there. What I do want to emphasize, is how well Victoria Sledge dealt with the problem. Victoria was very professional, courteous and was not only able to calm an upset customer, but asked for the items she would need to investigate and hopefully remedy the problem. She was very honest and informed me that it could take some time before this issue was resolved. And what she needed from me to investigate further, to fill out the forms etc etc. I said I had what she had requested already and she asked for me to send them to her. NOW this is where Victoria really shined,exceeded expectations and created a long-lasting loyal customer for Target Sports USA. She did print follow up with a phone call ( less than 24 hours) and message since I was in a meeting, she also sent an email explaining and updating what was going and I think within 3 days maybe 4 but I'm pretty sure it was 3 days I had my replacement package (3-4 days earlier than she said to expect them, this fell on a weekend) and again made her follow up calls and emails t make sure everything had been handled up to mine and Targets Sports USA standards in regard to Fed EX's Delivery. I know you don't get this kind of customer service without it being part of Target Sports Hiring and Training program, well, job well done!! Please make sure you recognize Victoria for how she dealt with the problem that was put in front of her but also that her professional manner and follow up skills are a rare thing in dealing with big outfits where customers are just a number. I will refer everyone I know to do Business with Target Sports USA mad to rest assured that they will be happy and if they ever have a problem it will be dealt with quickly.
Hi Target Sports USA,
I grew up in Naugatuck and moved to California years ago… my ammo purchases have been with your company for a while now– as it is most important to support businesses in CT that support our 2nd amendment rights .. Hartford has become very tough on our/your 2A rights.
Thanks for your excellent service—I will be back…
Although I don't purchase large amounts at a time, I have come to appreciate targetsportsusa's business model. You always have something I can use at very reasonable prices. I know being close to your facility helps, but your shipping times door to door are very fast, and every order has come securely packaged. This is why your company has become my primary source for ammo.
Your Service was fantastic; my order arrived more speedily than I expected. Your product was exactly as you had advertised, which is all that I want when I make a purchase. I'll certainly use your services again!
You are by far the best ammunition dealer on the web. Your sales staff is friendly and answer questions without the usual attitude most of the other dealers have.
I purchase for our store however most of the purchases are for my personal use. The delivery is SUPER fast.
The fact you took the time to send me a personal email regarding your move showed me you actually care what your customer thinks.
I don't envy moving such a large operation but I can only assume it's due to you folks needing more space. That's a good thing. Business is good.
The gun club that I am a charter member of now buys ALL our ammunition from you. Pistol calibers, rifle and my favorite 50BMG.
I would like to say Thank you , for all you do for us in the shooting sports.
Glad your moved in now comes the little things like setting up offices etc. You will get it down.
Again thank each and everyone of you for providing good old American service.
God Bless
Fred White USMC 1972-1984
Have made several 1000 rd purchases and have
always been satisfied with how fast they were shipped. Your free
shipping makes the difference on where I purchase ammo.
Target Sports USA is just what they claim ... totally transparent, easy to navigate thoroughly trustworthy on transactions
my name is Glenn Jones here in panama city Fl...Have been buying from target sports for awhile now and want to tell you I am completely satified with all the business I have done with you...great company...super fast shipping never any problems...I have nothing but excelllent things to say about target sports,,,have referred you to alot of coworkers and people that I know and shoot with....want to say thank you target sports.....you deserve it...great company and business....THANK YOU........
Just wanted to pass along a BIG THANK YOU for my recent order of Lawman 9mm (#292235). I ordered it on 11/6 @ 1pm and it was on my doorstep less than 24hrs later.
You folks are great!. I was calibrated to a bit of a delay from your wanting message so when I pulled into my driveway on the 7th and saw the Fedex truck I thought it was my Midway order. Imagine my surprise when it was your order!
Great job!
I'm signing your praises to everyone on our pistol and rifle teams.
take care.
Ron Hawkins
Just wanted to say, you guys are amazing. I placed an order yesterday morning and it was on my front stoop this afternoon. Lightning fast service and I'm 100% pleased. I am a returning customer and will recommend to all my fellow shooters. Keep up the great work.
I just want to thank you and commend you on the excellent service I received on my order, #278629. It was delivered before I even looked to track the order. The products were exactly what I ordered and in perfect condition. This is a refreshing change from some of the companies I've dealt with recently. Free shipping is always an incentive, as well. I'll tell everyone I know about TargetSportsUSA.com! Outstanding in every way. Thanks again. Stan Bennett.
I'm impressed that with the nonsensical shortage of ammunition Target
Sports offers their loyal customers a "first crack" at any inventory
they are able to acquire.
Shipment is prompt and accurate, and the products are all first-line.
I don't buy ammunition from any other supplier and won't as long as Target Sports continues to offer me their services.
Outstanding from start to finish. Ordering on line was easy. They kept
me updated with emails on status which was great. Product ordered arrive
on time, packed well and document enclosed were correct. Couldn't ask
for a better experience!
Happy to get the ammo; price was right for the time we are in.Free
shipping always a plus! Have not shot any of it yet;looks like good
ammo; random look/see didn't see any with dings or dents;just mainly
tarnished but brass will clean up when reloaded.Will buy from again.
Thank you so much. I will be doing business with you again and would gladly recommend your company. Martha Pugh
Thank you very much. The ammo arrived yesterday.
Have a great day.
Just wanted to thank the Gentleman who helped me today with my order....He is a class act....you guys are great and I will stick with you.....Again Thanks
Mr. Mike Hart
Fast,fast, service, will recommend to others, see you for my next order.
I received my shipment and wanted to say thank-you. I'm extremely pleased with your service and will use your business in the future. You have a business that can be trusted and that's important to your customer's.
Just wanted to write to say I appreciate the improvements you've made to the website. It's nice to be able to use the "hide out-of-stock" option...THANK YOU!!!
I check your site daily, and it's much easier to use this option, rather than having to scroll through all the pages looking to see what's in stock.
I Just Received My Order.
All Was Perfect.
I am very pleased with your Services.
It was Easy, Professional, and Pleasurable.
I will do business with you again.
John Koutzoukis
Great news. You guys are a good outfit. No gouging. I'll remember that. Thanks for the quick update.
I already recieved my order!! Wowwwwwwwwww super fast shipping, I ordered yesterday and had it around noon time today!! Great Job. I'll be back. Jimmy
Wow you guys are awesome!!! Bravo Zulu my friends

I was so happy to find the .32 short caliber lead ammo I needed, of all the ammo dealers on line, you came through.
Thank You.
M F Moretti Sr
Thanks for your great communication! The great reviews I read about your company seem to be
true. I look forward to my order.
Hello, first off I love your site and service. Only place I buy ammo now and have told all my gun club members. keep it up!
Hi, I found it necessary to cancel an order I had with you and it was very pleasant speaking with CJ. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future. Thanks Mike
In the past few weeks I have ordered a couple of times from you. I have been very pleased with the service and the prices. I will keep trying to get 9mm ammo. I spoke to CJ earlier. Very pleasant to speak with. Keep up the good work. Sincerely Gale
Went through 30 rounds the other day wish I had taken all 80.Lots of fun and cant beat the price with container & free shipping on bulk ammunition.
I want to thank you for your prompt response in shipping my order to me. I'm retired Maryland state law-inforcement Ofc. I collect fairly old rifles and have trouble locating ammo here. Thanks again, Carroll
great service, great place to do business, ordered late monday afternoon,
received wed noon ! another great experience with Target Sports USA!
Thank you very much for not price gouging like some of the other sights are that have ammo. I refuse to buy from those sites and will remember when this shortage is over what they did and will not buy from them in the future even if they have lower prices at that time. I will remain loyal to sites like yours who don't take advantage of us now.
A new customer,
Nelson Frost

I am very impressed with you commination and fast shipping. It nice to do business with an efficient company.
I hope this ammo hysteria/shortage hasn't hurt TS USA to bad? I have always enjoyed your great deals and free shipping! I wish you all the best and hope to see ya'll back online soon!
Thanks again
Hello! Just wanted to let you guys know that you run an awesome operation! I ordered 200 rounds of Wolf HP's the other day and you guys had them at my doorstep in a little over 24 hours. I don't recall ever having anything on my doorstep in such a short period of time. I will definitely be giving you business for many years to come regardless of our current Eastern Bloc situation (New York, Connecticut, California, etc.). Keep up the good work!
I would like to thank you guys and let you know that you did an excellent job getting my ammo to me. In our current environment, I was lucky to even find it in stock. Not only did you have it in stock, my order was received very quickly. I don't even think it took 5 working days. I strongly encourage you to move your operations out of the fascist state your currently residing in. You are always welcome in KY
I wanted to drop you a quick line. I got the corrected order today via fed ex. I am so happy…and very, very impressed with your customer service. I know you are very busy now. These days this level of customer service just doesn't exist. You guys total rock!
Nancy your crew was excellent. I received this order way before I expected too. I constantly check your site hoping o find ammo in stock. Given the times we are in I feel your pricing is more than fair. So many retailers are really sticking it to us! I have a long memory and will not purchase from these guys who are taking advantage of the political climate, not now, not ever!
Thanks Again.
You have no idea how much fast service is appreciated! 2-3 more days will be no big deal.
I ordered something from another company last week and they still do not have my order ready to ship.
I want to thank you guys for being on top of things!
Hope you all have a great day!

You will be remembered for your PRICE GOUGING during the ammunition shortage! Really, some of you tripled and quadrupled your prices or better?
When supply returns to normal, I would rather spend a little more money with the other suppliers below than to reward you for your high-rater practices and taking advantage of customers during the shortage!

Thank you for your honest practices. You will be remembered for your fair handed practices and fair prices during the ammunition shortage.
You will see customers return to you over and over again for years to come.
Doing business with integrity has its rewards!
Wow! Thanks for the GREAT service! This is the first time I have done business with you, but I will follow up with another order soon. I am an overseas contractor, and will advise associates of your great service. Thanks again.. David King
Dear Target Sports USA,
I just wanted drop you an email re: order 235640. Impressed is not the word. Wonderful service and getting my order out ASAP. I have experienced long delays getting orders filled from other vendors. Target Sports USA will be my first stop when shopping for ammo or other shooting needs.
I just wanted to say thank you for the fine service you've provided. I've spent more than $1,500 in the past 2 months and each of those orders was received timely and as described.
The only thing precluding me on further business will be New York State's insistence on outlawing internet ammunition orders.
Thank you,
Matt Passarell
Just wanted to let you guys know that I received the ammo today! After reading the warning on your website, I expected rather serious delay, but I received the ammo much more quickly than I anticipated. Thanks for the great service! I will order from you again when you have other ammo in stock.
Dr. Alex Takeuchi, Ph.D. (aka "Dr. T")
I received my order today. For what it may be worth to you, I want you to know that I will be a loyal customer after this silly mania is over. Your company has been the most honest about availability, shipping times and fulfillment of an order. I will not forget this. You will always have my business. I so appreciate your honesty
Received my order today.thanks for the fast courteous service and great prices.this was my first order,but not my last.everyone was great to work with.thanks again,Glenn hicks
I'm very please with your service, and will continue to support your business, and highly recommend you. Well done!
David Montany
I would like to commend you on your service.
I had 2 orders and I was told 2 to 3 weeks at least before
I would receive my order.
I received one of them in less than 2 weeks.
Very good. I would grade your service AAA+
Thank You.
David Johnson
My order was delivered today. I am pleasantly surprised that my order was delivered 13 days after I placed order considering your website indicated lengthy delays in filling orders for ammo. Nice job and I will order from you again.
I would like to thank you for you great service. I have ordered from you a few times and have been very happy with your service. I know you have been very bussy and think your doing a great job....THANK YOU
I just wanted to let your co. know how top notch your employees are. I recently had a order lost in the mass confusion that you are experiencing,I contacted your customer service with the order # and she instantly told me that the order was everything but out the door. That is good customer service.I will continue to make TargetSportsUSA my # 1 source for ammo. Thanks,Mike
Target Sports has the best reputation on the web and also why I'll be back very soon!
Thank you for the excellent service and fantastic communication!
I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the speed with which your firm addressed my question. There were no expectations on my part.
Yours is an honorable company ,if I can do anything for Target please do not hesitate to contact me.
Bill Bruni
It is refreshing to be able to dial a phone number and actually talk to a real person. I have spoken with the ladies in your customer service department and could not be more happy with the service I've received.
I placed an order for two remaining Glock magazines in your inventory and was not certain if I would actually receive them due to the extremely high demand generated by the current regime in Washington D.C. I checked your website on occasion to see when my order would be processed. When I saw that you were beginning to process orders within the time-frame that I placed my order, I called your customer service department and asked if you had actually held my two clips in stock waiting to ship my order. The young lady I spoke with, C.J. I believe, stopped what she was doing, checked to be certain those two clips had been held for me, and immediately processed my order.
By the time I got off the phone with her, I had an email waiting, telling me that my order was in the process of being shipped.
Most ammo related businesses I've dealt with recently do not accept phone calls, have jacked up their prices and generally become very arrogant; "We've got the products you want and you'll do whatever we say if you want to receive them" essentially.
It has been a pleasure doing business with Target Sports USA and I look forward to being a customer for many years to come.
Thanks for being fair, courteous, and friendly to your customers.

Boyce, Louisiana
Very pleased with your service and the fact You folks arent gouging prices in this time of high ammo demand. Thanks Cliff, Bland Va.
I was deployed when news of the gun legislation came to light. Immediately I began to look online for ammo distributors, and targetsportsusa was one of a few who had ammo or were taking orders. I have placed 3 orders with this company since late Dec. and received all my orders in about 30 days. I will continue to order from targetsportsusa. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BUSINESS AND THE FIGHT FOR 2nd AMMEMDMENT RIGHTS.
I recently ordered some boxes of 9mm, I can't believe how fast you guys sent it out. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you.
Roger S. Anderson
With the current ammo demand being so high I was certainly surprised to see my order show up so soon. Keep up the great work and professional customer service.
Awesome. I know you guys are busting your backs and I just want to say thanks!
Target Sports USA has become the first place I look for ammo. Ammo To Go and Luckygunner don't compare with your selection and customer service.
Tony Comer
Dear folk,
Just a note of thanks to everyone at TargetSportsUSA for their effort in taking care of my recent order. Your pricing, communication, and excellent packaging are very much appreciated.
Hello everyone!
I believe in giving recognition for a job well done, rather than just being a complainer when things aren't quite right.
I just wanted to THANK YOU ALL for:
1. Keeping the prices "real" - it's got to be very tough in the current market.
2. Fast shipping - great service!
Although I placed a very small order, you guys make me feel like a big customer.
Thank you all for what you do for us! Now - off to the range!
Just wanted to say thank you very much for shipping early with my order that was placed, which was 208098.
When we spoke, you offered to ship it right away, much earlier than previously stated on your website, as I knew that it would take a long time.
As you know the situation with most websites, it's taking a long time, as supply cannot meet demand fast to even obtain ammo.
So, thank you again for getting this out so fast, as I received it a bit ago and I will take my Walther PP to the range later this week and use this ammo.
I appreciate it very much and I have mentioned your website on calguns, which is a discussion and sales website, which is geared for people in California. I know that you are not able to ship to certain areas of this State and this was mentioned, too, based on restrictions that are in place in various cities and counties.
Much appreciated and I will bookmark you and look to see if you have what I need in stock next time, which will be soon enough.
Excellent product an service on the 7.62 x 39- I have ordered again and will continue to do so-hopefully the .22 I ordered will be on its way to me soon. :) I so understand you must be very busy and under the circumstances I think you are doing a great job!
I am very pleased with the price and the promptness of shipping, especially in light of the current run on guns and ammunition
Great products Target sports have great prices and a pretty easy to search site. Due to the demand made shipping a little slow butyrate is understandable most dont like it and I don't either but you can only do whats you can do. I not complaining just stating it for why its worth. I have order 3 times 2 orders here already waiting for my third one and probably will be placing a 4th one soon. Thanks for quality accuracy speed and great staff. I rate you 6 stars from where I stand. THanks Troy
Thanks to everyone who works at Target Sports USA I'm very pleased with your
commitment to excellence.. I called with a problem with an order I was having
and you guys were right on top of it sent that order out right away and I got
it the next day.. please keep up the good work Thank you.
The order was perfect. I got it in just a few days, even in the Christmas rush. I have told my friends about you and how pleased I have been with your products and the timely delivery. It is a pleasure doing business with you.
Thanks! You guys rock! Seriously, with how insane it has to be over there it means a lot to me that you are treating me so well.
Target really stepped up and came through for me on my order. I had one missed item that didn't get shipped the first time and I sent them a email and they shipped it out to me with zero problems. Great customer service. I highly recommend TargetSportsUSA for all your firearm needs. Johnny H
You guys took care of me and fixed my missing item with not a single issue. I thank you for your great service and would be happy to rate your operation and team.
Product arrived in a timly manner, well packaged. No problems at all. Will do some 223 (5.56) ordering when available.
Thank you
I have placed a few orders with your company and I am very happy with your prices and swift processing , thanks for being a high quality provider. Gary
I just want to say thank you for being honest with your customers regarding timelines etc... And for continuing to support our second amendment rights. Although it took time to get our order, I never felt anxious that it wasn't going to come. I will continue making my ammunition purchases through you.
A happy customer.
You guys are awesome...
Thanks for the privilege of doing business with you.
Please let me know when you will have more ammo in stock.
Keep up the good work...
Thank you sincerely
Doyle Long
Just wanted say I received my first order Friday and would like to say Thank You. I look forward o receiving my next order and when you start excepting order I will be ordering more. Thanks to your staff Troy L. Eason
I'm very pleased to have received my order for 5 pmags this morning. They are so hard to find now. I appreciate your hard work in fulfilling my order. I plan on shopping with you in the future.
Thanks much, Robert William
Great company to do business with,product shipped quickly and arrived on time and as descbibed.Would highly recommed Target Sports USA.
First off, I woudl like to thank you for running a great company. With the midst of changes in politics on the horizon, and the new "assault weapons ban," I urge you to use your company and your political and financial power to rise up with the rest of our community and fight against this infringement on our 2nd ammendment rights. Please donate to the nra-ila and urge your customers to do so in addition to contact your federal representatives. I thank you for you interest in this matter and look forward to doing business with your company in the future. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Charles Stevens
I received two orders within four weeks. Each time I had a full case of handgun ammo.
I am very satisfied of my purchases from your Company, and found the packing very clean and professional.
I am going to place an another order in a couple of days or less.
Please, keep the good job,
Thierry C. Abramoff
You guys are SUPER.
Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Thanks guys.
I received another order of my fav .22s for target shooting. I work at a pistol range (American Shooting Center, Houston TX) and I recommend you as a source for fair priced ammo with free shipping and no sales tax.
Keep up the good work. I might add ... If there is an upcoming shortage, please alert me and I'll order a few cases for the dry period. I will also pass the word to the hundreds of shooters that I see weekly. Does this earn me a discount? Just kidding ............... well sort of.
Robert Bandy
I received my order last evening, well before the projected time I expected. Great product and fantastic service, Thank you, Mike
Have ordered two cases of this great ammo and both arrived fast and with
best price on web. Don't ever doubt this company they supply quality
products at best prices hands down. I saw some negative reviews and felt
compelled to state my experience with Target Sports USA.
I truly enjoy doing business with you company. Your orders are always correct and prompt. Your prices are fair and reasonable and after placing an order I can forget about it because you and you're people are professional.
Second time ordering with your company and I will definitely be a repeat customer. Excellent quality ammo, shot 30+ rounds and they were great. VERY fast delivery...and free shipping on bulk ammunition. You can't ask for more. Thank you Target Sports USA!
Hi, I purchased the Remington 12Ga. shells because Remington is typically a standard in the business. I have not been able to use them yet. I wanted to stock up for a couple of reasons- last election ammo went dry and I didn't want to be out, especially with civil war looming over us. Shipping was very timely and you can't beat free shipping even with a stick! To top off your great service you also used the best shipper in the business- FedEx.
Thank you.
Nelson Flint
Hey, Target Sports USA - just a quick note of thanks in conjunction with my (1st) recent order. Items came sooner than expected, well packaged and in good shape.
Can't review the ammo, because I have not shot it yet. However, I can review Target Sports USA. You guys have been great. Reasonable pricing and super fast free shipping has been outstanding. Your web site is very user friendly, well constructed, and your follow-up communication has been great too. TSUSA has been my "go to" ammo supplier, and will remain so.
Thank you,
I have placed 3 orders now with Target Sports, and had only one problem. The second one was in error, and I received the wrong ammo. I called and talked to a gentleman about the issue, and he agreed to resolve it at no expense to me. I had ordered Wolf 123 grain, 7.62x39 black box. I received Military Classic. I explained to him that I had tested a LOT of 7.62 in the past w/ a chronograph and sighting targets, and the Military Classic just isn't near as accurate as the black box. (difference in bullet balance? Don't know). Black box was out, and he figured someone took it upon themselves to substitute the other to get out the order. I told him when the black box came in, I would have him send me a shipping label and then we could exchange it.
About the time I received an email showing the black box was in stock, my landlord at my office had mentioned he needed to know where to get some 7.62x39 ammo. I told him the above story, and he bought the Military Classic for the invoice amount, I re-ordered the black box that night, and had it in a few days. Problem solved the easy way.
I would like to compliment Target Sports, however, on the PERFECT customer service that was offered in light of the problem...even though I found an easier way to resolve it.
Dear Sales & Fulfillment team at Targetsportsusa.com,
I received my first order from you today. The order number is 172665.
I wanted to say " thank you " for making this an easy purchase for me.
It seems that sometimes it
is only people who are unhappy with something who communicate with a
retail store and I wanted to counterbalance that with this note.
The whole process worked
well. I called to confirm you had the ammo in stock. I placed the order
via the web and even with Hurricane Sandy sweeping through the area and
quite likely affecting the people at your business, you got me the
order in only seven days. I think Sandy delayed FedEx's delivery by one
day. So, a job well done!
I just received my order of .22 long rifle ammo. Fast shipping as always, and I do appreciate the 2 free boxes of Federal AutoMatch Target ammo you included with my order at no charge.
You made a good deal even better.
I bought this, shot it all, told two friends, they each bought from
you, and the rest is history ;) So, I served you up two more
customers…One from Orange, NH and one from Enfield, NH. I built them two
rifles and told them you were the folks to buy ammunition from. Keep up
the good work, but PLEASE don't follow the industry crowd and
overcharge due to the hype…we're all aware of the rising ammo costs and
well aware of the sellers who are playing the game…don't be that guy,
you're local to us and we like having you, but please consider your

This is my best friend, Jess.
Jess has awesome hair (she doesn't need to do anything to it but barely blow dry it), an adorable puppy, great home design skills, is more photogenic than anyone I know, has super white teeth, a super strong Boston accent and is there for me at the drop of a hat. Literally. Anytime I'm upset, she is there to pick me up right away.
A few years ago, I was "dumped"... sort of. I woke up the next day, brushed it off my shoulders, went to class... and burst out crying in the middle of it. I ran out of the class, fell into a heap on the floor, called Jess and within 15 minutes she was waiting outside my school and took me to Friendly's. And recently, when I was going through some shit, she picked me up with Starbucks in hand and brought me outlet shopping all the way in Maine.
But... Jess doesn't like cheese.
And, when I made her try the Mac & Cheese at Silvertone (I MEAN, IT'S LIKE FAMOUSLY DELICIOUS), she said, "OH MY GOD, EW, NO. I CAN'T DO IT."
And then... she said...
"The only Mac & Cheese I can eat is Kraft's."
Therefore, I hate Jess.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The time has come to arm the Syrian rebel fighters, according to Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), the chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations committee.
The conflict in Syria has been going on for nearly two years.
The Obama administration opened the door to new military options in Syria after declaring last week it strongly believed the Assad regime used chemical weapons in two attacks in March. Two days after that announcement, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said arming the Syrian rebels was a policy consideration.
"The legislation that I am proposing I think helps us move forward in trying to address the crisis in Syria and I believe that Assad's regime's behavior, whether be in the use of chemical weapons or the wholesale slaughter of civilians has crossed a line that forces us to consider all these options," Menendez told WCBS 880's Steve Scott.
