German Precision Optics Expands RangeGuide Line

German Precision Optics Expands RangeGuide Line

From German Precision Optics

German Precision Optics (GPO), announces the expansion of its award-winning RangeGuide rangefinding binocular line with the introduction of a new 8×50. Ideal for those seeking less magnification, the 8×50 features exceptional edge-to-edge clarity as well as precise ranging on reflective targets out to nearly 1.75 miles.

Built on a 42” chassis, the 8×50 RangeGuide measures a mere 6.3 inches tall. Even with its small size, it performs big. It not only lives up to its 22.36 twilight factor; it actually can accurately range targets out to 3,062 yards with inclination/declination compensation, all while tipping the scales at only 35 ounces. Crafted with a magnesium frame, this rangefinder is extremely light weight, yet boasts an internal rangefinding system unmatched in the industry.

The compact 8×50 RangeGuide features an eye-safe Class 1 laser for instant readings (0.35-second response time) with true-range angle technology that calculates the proper distance to the target after measuring the angle to the target. The fast scan mode provides three readings per second via its orange OLED display with nine adjustable brightness levels. The RangeGuide even measures ambient temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius to help with shot placement on long-range shots. The Class 1 laser will reliably range a tree at 1,093 yards and a deer out to 766 yards. The display provides both the line-of-sight distance as well as the user’s choice of adjusted distance, angle or temperature.

Coupled with the GPObright™ high-transmission lens coatings, the RangeGuide’s double-HD laminated 50mm objective lenses are exceptionally beneficial for transmitting light in the twilight hours. The lenses maximize the sharpness and the resolution of the optical image. The 8×50 offers a wider field of view at 345 feet at 1,000 yards, and more eye relief at 19mm than its higher magnification counterpart. Like the 10×50, this new model features diopter focus adjustments on both left and right sides and utilizes GPO’s premium cut-brass-geared focus-wheel system for a very tight, consistent turning radius without any free-play.

Due to its armor coating, the RangeGuide is water- and weather resistant, making it tough enough to endure the harshest of hunting environments.

“The versatility, compact size and precise optical functions make the 8×50 the ideal rangefinder for hunters looking for something with a lower magnification,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA’s owner and CEO.

The new 8×50 RangeGuide binocular will be available Spring 2021 at GPO dealers nationwide or conveniently online at www.gpo-usa.com with a suggested retail price of $1649.99.

From Butler Creek

Butler Creek®, maker of smart, field-proven hunting and shooting accessories, announced today that the company’s Featherlight Sling lineup has been expanded with two new models perfect for today’s hunters and shooters. Now, gun owners can select either a new camo option or a single-point sling option, which extend the Featherlight family of slings to six different models available for purchase.

Butler Creek’s Featherlight Slings have been lauded by sportsmen and women for their lightweight, breathable and comfortable design. Now, hunters and shooters alike can pick up the newly released Featherlight camo sling, as well as a Featherlight Single-Point Sling that’s perfect for AR platforms.

Butler Creek’s traditional Featherlight Sling is now available in Prym1 MP camouflage, Prym1’s most versatile hybrid camo pattern. This particular camo is designed for all-season use, from the whitetail woods to western big game hunts and everything in between.

The new Featherlight Single-Point Sling comes with all the best features of the Featherlight design, including the patent-pending lightweight, breathable and comfortable close cell foam construction, as well as adjustable straps, a large thumb loop and two built-in cartridge holders. Like all Featherlight slings, the new single-point option is standard with cut out slots that help to reduce trapped heat as well as provide a better grip on the user’s shoulder.

In addition, the Single-Point Sling includes a bungee strap for extra shock absorption and quick-release buckles, as well as a HK-style snap hook and push-button swivel connectors. The quick-release buckles make it easy for shooters to quickly detach their rifle from the sling. The 2-inch wide sling is also adjustable from 28 inches to over 33 inches long so it will fit just about any shooter.

The new Butler Creek Featherlight Sling in Prym1 MP camo has an MSRP of $34.95 and the Featherlight Single-Point Sling has an MSRP of $39.95.

Winchester AA Diamond Grade Now includes Elite Trap Offering

Winchester AA Diamond Grade Now includes Elite Trap Offering

From Winchester

AA® Diamond Grade™ Elite Trap is the newest competition target load from Winchester® Ammunition.

Like its predecessor, AA Diamond Grade, the new Elite Trap is loaded with an alloyed 8% antimony shot, which is the hardest shot available. Winchester has taken an additional step of precision sorting the shot to ensure that only the most round and consistent pellets make the grade, and the result is extremely consistent patterns that are tighter and more uniform for more broken birds and higher scores. Where the two products differ is that the new Elite Trap is non-plated Diamond Grade shot, which is legal for use in sanctioned Amateur Trapshooting Association events (ShootATA.com).  

AA Diamond Grade Elite Trap will be offered in 12-gauge 1 1/8 ozs #7½ at 1250 fps. This is a perfect load for handicap shooting all the way back to the 27-yard line. With the world-renowned AA® Wad, payloads are meant not just to chip but also to powder clay targets. And with all that on the inside, Winchester has put a nickel-plated head on the outside of the cartridge, making for smoother feeding and extraction.

Up and down the line, the choice is AA Diamond Grade. Look for Winchester AA Diamond Grade Elite Trap in 25-round boxes at a retailer or dealer near you.

Resolve to Do Better at Protecting Your Ears

Resolve to Do Better at Protecting Your Ears

From Howard Leight

It’s a new year. More than ever, this particular turning of the calendar holds the promise of better things and better times to come.

What are you resolving to do differently, better, or more often in the coming year? Will you put in more time on the shooting range? Catch up on the live music events you haven’t been able to attend? Tackle more big projects around the homestead? Reschedule the hunting trip that was canceled last year? Travel to visit friends and loved ones?

Whatever your exciting plans may be, fully enjoying them will require good hearing – both now and in the future. So, consider making 2021 the year you make a commitment to yourself and loved ones to start doing a better job at protecting your hearing.

Hearing loss is largely painless and happens over time as the delicate structures inside our ears are repeatedly injured by loud sounds. The damage is incremental, so most people don’t realize it’s taking place until it’s too late. While continued exposure to dangerous noise can cause hearing loss over time, impulse noises like those produced by a firearm can cause permanent damage instantly. The good news is that such injuries are largely preventable through the consistent use of appropriate and properly fitted hearing protection.

Whether participating in shooting sports, attending concerts, motorsports events, or operating power equipment, wearing properly fitted Howard LeightTM hearing protection products will help protect your hearing while safely enjoying the activities you love.

Foam ear plugs and passive muffs like those from the Howard Leight Leightning Series are great choices for most activities and applications. For shooting sports, consider an electronic earmuff like the popular Howard Leight ImpactTM Sport. Up to 4x amplification means you’ll be able to conduct conversation and hear range commands, while relying on Impact Sport’s internal circuitry to attenuate dangerous sounds over 82dB.

Impact Sport’s performance, comfort and slim, ergonomic design make it a versatile earmuff for almost any environment. What’s more, it’s available in a wide variety of colors and patterns to suit anyone’s preferred application or personal sense of style.

Don’t let gradual hearing loss steal your future enjoyment of the activities you love. Make 2021 and all your future years the best they can be by taking one simple step. Shop Impact Sport now, or visit your favorite Honeywell Howard Leight retailer.
