Lt. Col. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman, CEO of CAA / Hartman Optics

 

CAA, developers and manufacturers of advanced battle-tested firearms accessories, and Hartman Optics, designers and manufacturers of the state-of-the-art MH1 Reflex Sight, announces a first-in-America training course in which, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman, CEO of CAA / Hartman and his hand-picked former IDF and US Special Forces instructors will offer this brand-new, IDF inspired training course. This unique course will be held at the Altair Training Solutions facility located in the Southwest Florida Everglades for a select invited group.

“We thought it would be cool to give the students an added advantage that can’t be found anywhere else in the world,” Mikey commented. “We wanted them, on one hand, to learn in-depth about the Micro RONI, Micro RONI with Stabilizer brace and the MH1 sight, and also gaining a unique understanding of how we train in the Israeli Infantry. Hopefully, they will leave the course with much more knowledge than they came into it with.”

As CEO of CAA / Hartman, Mikey knows a thing or two about training, having trained over half a million IDF soldiers and a few thousand US troops as well, during his 22-year military career. He established the IDF Sharpshooting and Marksmanship School and wrote the entire IDF Shooting Doctrine. The other members of the instructor cadre include Aaron Forum, Garret Machine, Hayim Funes and Eran Segev.

This first CAA / Hartman course will take place December 11 – 14, 2016 and can be followed on Facebook. CAA / Hartman thank the following participating sponsors: Altair, Vertx, Walker’s, Triumph Systems, Shell Shock Technologies, L-Tech Enterprises, Scopecoat and Sentry Solutions. The course calendar for 2017 will be available at a later date.

The Hartman MH1 Reflex Sight Has Landed In the US

The ultimate red dot reflex sight, designed by Lt. Col. (Ret) Mikey Hartman, IDF sniper and founder of the sharpshooting and marksmanship school of the Israel Defense Forces, now available at retailers.

Pompano Beach, Fla. (July 2016) – Hartman Ltd., an optics company co-founded by Lt. Col. (Ret) Mikey Hartman of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and founder of the IDF Marksmanship and Sharpshooting School, is proud to announce the arrival of the MH1 reflex sight to retailers across the U.S. The game-changing features of the patent-pending MH1 sight have been specifically designed to meet and exceed the demands of military, law enforcement and sportsmen around the world. The Hartman MH1 reflex sight is distributed exclusively in the U.S. by CAA.

The MH1, is an advanced tactical red dot sight, featuring multiple ground-breaking technologies, including: the largest field-of-view on the market, an optional customizable user interface and a USB charging port that allows the user to charge the sight via any mobile device, computer or wall socket (a single CR123 backup battery provides additional extended battery life). In addition, the sight is motion activated and will stay in battery saving mode until its dual 30° motion sensors perceive the firearm is being moved in a shooting position.

The MH1’s rear panel and activation buttons are uniquely angled allowing the user to mount additional optics or night vision gear behind it without impeding access to the controls even when using gloves. Optionally, as part of the interface feature users can customize a variety of controls: PTT on or off, sleep mode duration, motion sensors enable/disable, low battery indicators and adjusting brightness levels. In addition, an optional remote control PTT strap allows the user to activate the sight as well as control brightness while maintaining two handed control of the firearm, useful when moving from low light to bright light conditions or vice versa.

CAA wins Big 3 East Writers Choice Award Spring of 2016

“The Big 3 East event was a huge success and it was a true honor to meet with so many respected gun writers and bloggers and get to know them on a personal level,” LTC (Ret.) Mikey Hartman, CEO of CAA International and USA and Hartman Ltd. commented. “Taking home the Writers’ Choice award was a definite plus for our team and since the award is based on what the writers saw as the best new products, we are confident CAA and Hartman are on the right track and we are looking forward to coming back to the Big 3 East in October.”

The writers’ choice award is based upon three criteria: product, presentation and personality. Mikey’s background in the IDF, his 22-year career training over half a million soldiers and developing the IDF Shooting Doctrine brought real-world experience and practicality to his presentation and relationship with the writers.

The CAA Micro RONI®, Micro RONI® with Stabilizer Brace, the Hartman MH1 Reflex Sight and the new ZUES Shooting Mattress were a few of the innovative and battle born products that the CAA USA team introduced to the media at Big 3 East. The pistol-to-carbine conversion fitted for the GLOCK® 19/17 pistol is the most compact version produced, requiring no pistol disassembly and it’s packed with features. It was so popular at the range people had to wait in line just to get a turn shooting it. The Hartman MH1 Reflex Sight was mounted to the Micro RONI®’s integral Picatinny top rail giving the Big 3 East writers an opportunity to test two of the best new products in combination at the range. The MH1 with unique built in motion sensors that activate the sight  when the shooter is in a shooting position and it is the only rechargeable reflex sight that also has a user interface feature allowing users to customize a multitude of features to suit their own shooting style. Another feature that won rave comments was the sight’s remote control allowing the user activate the sight and to adjust brightness levels when moving from low light to bright light conditions without removing the  shooters hand  from the forend.

Mikey also introduced a new concept training shooter’s mattress; the ZUES. The “Zero Under Eighty Seconds” shooter’s mattress with integrated and customizable foam inserts helps the shooter train in the prone position. The foam helps position the shooter so as to be able to control breath, arm position and posture, maintaining a steady prone position that will allow the shooter to zero faster and become more accurate at any distance.

The combo Micro RONI® and MH1 sight and the new ZUES Shooting Mattress demonstrated the best of the innovative technologies that CAA and Hartman has in store for its U.S. customers.
