The Spanish-American War was fought over iron sights. No glass, no dots, no magnification. At San Juan Hill, Spanish troops with smokeless Mausers hit men they could barely see. Reach and target ID won that ground. We have spent the years since closing it. #AmericanWarrior250

Who reached out and touch some steel this weekend? If you didn't, it's time to grab a box of ammo, a Patriot II, and head out to the range.

June 24, 1898. Las Guasimas, the first land battle of the war. Rough Riders and the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry pushed the Spanish off a ridge in brush so thick you heard the enemy before you saw him. It was the Army's first taste of the fight ahead. #AmericanWarrior250

Built for the backcountry, the Patriot II features capped turrets and a robust 30mm tube, keeping your gear running in the harshest of environments. Head to the link in our bio to learn more about Patriot II.

He came home a hero. The mission had failed, but the courage was real, and Hobson received the Medal of Honor in 1933, 35 years later. Would you have made that run? #AmericanWarrior250

June 1898. To trap Spain's fleet inside Santiago harbor, the Navy planned to sink the collier Merrimac across the channel and cork the bottle. Lt. Richmond Hobson volunteered to lead it, and took seven men in at night.

[Swampfox Optics @swampfoxoptics]

It fell apart fast. Spanish guns shot away the Merrimac's steering before she could turn. She sank lengthwise and never blocked the channel. All eight men were captured alive. Admiral Cervera sent word they survived.

The .45 the Army tried to retire outlived the argument and carried through two World Wars. Read the full story on our blog. Link in bio.

[Swampfox Optics @swampfoxoptics]

In 1892 the U.S. Army replaced the .45 Colt with a modern double-action revolver chambered in .38 Long Colt. Faster to fire, faster to reload, lighter on the hip. It also carried half the energy, and within a decade that math was getting men killed.

[Swampfox Optics @swampfoxoptics]

That finding became the cartridge John Browning built the M1911 around. Two hundred and fifty years of American firepower has been written in lessons like this one, paid for the hard way and never forgotten.

Did you miss the drop?! Patriot II is officially live on the site. Hike on over to our site for more. Link in bio.

Sergeant Major Edward Baker of the 10th Cavalry was already a veteran in Cuba. At Santiago, under heavy fire, he left cover and pulled a drowning, wounded comrade from the river. He earned the Medal of Honor. A Buffalo Soldier, decorated for saving a life. #AmericanWarrior250

The Patriot II has officially landed. For those who demand more from their high-powered hunting scopes, the Patriot II is ready. Built around a tough 30mm tube, this scope uses a 50mm objective lens to ensure plenty of light and clarity during dusk and dawn. Its first focal plane design is perfect for quick target acquisition, keeping your numbers true regardless of magnification. Capped turrets protect your zero from the terrain, and anti-fog treatments keep your glass clear even in wet conditions. Learn more by heading to the Swampfox Optics website.

July 3, 1898. Cervera's squadron tried to run out of Santiago harbor in daylight, into the waiting US fleet. Inside four hours every Spanish ship was sunk, burning, or aground. American dead: one. The Spanish Caribbean fleet ceased to exist that morning. #AmericanWarrior250

[Swampfox Optics @swampfoxoptics]

The next generation Swampfox Precision Riflescope is almost here. Built to deliver long-range performance without the clutter of an overly complex reticle design. We hope you put in for tags this year, because the Patriot II drops tomorrow.

At San Juan Hill, Americans with the Krag-Jorgensen ran into Spanish regulars with the Mauser Model 1893. The Mauser was faster to load, flatter shooting, and used smokeless powder. American soldiers paid for that gap in blood.

[Swampfox Optics @swampfoxoptics]

American overmatch is not luck. It is 250 years of taking the hard lesson and building the better tool. That is the Arc 5 story. Krag or Mauser, what would you have wanted at San Juan Hill? #AmericanWarrior250

[Swampfox Optics @swampfoxoptics]

The Army took the lesson and built a near copy of the Mauser action. It became the M1903 Springfield, the rifle that armed America through both World Wars. The enemy's better rifle wrote the spec for ours.
