New Guns & Gear for 2021—ZEISS unveils thermal imaging camera developed specifically for hunting

From Zeiss

ZEISS is proud to announce the release of the ZEISS DTI 3/35, its first thermal imaging camera specifically developed for hunting. The thermal imaging camera combines a high-resolution display that delivers detailed images with a well-balanced, ergonomic design. “The combination of high-contrast images in the dark with intuitive and ergonomic operation makes ZEISS thermal imaging technology the perfect choice for predator and feral hog hunting,” said Kyle Brown, Director of Marketing/Product at ZEISS Consumer Products for Carl Zeiss SBE, LLC. “As a result, we make it possible for hunters to accurately identify their target, even in poor lighting conditions, turning night into day.”

Thanks to the arrangement of the control buttons optimized as part of the ErgoControl concept and the device’s specially shaped design, the ZEISS DTI 3/35 is extremely intuitive to use. The buttons are arranged so that they can be identified quickly and accurately when it is dark, cold and with gloves on.

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

Even the high-precision manual zoom has been designed to accommodate difficult conditions in the dark. With its precise adjustment in 0.5x increments, the digital 1.0-4.0x zoom offers the perfect combination and balance of magnification and detail recognition. This feature allows the user to quickly switch between zoom levels. Whether it is for game observation and detection or accurate identification, selecting the necessary zoom level is easy and reliable.

Seeing Beyond – Life like detail, even in the dark

ZEISS has always been a specialist in creating optical solutions for difficult lighting conditions, but the ZEISS DTI 3/35 changes the way you can see the world. Starting with its ultra-precise manual focus F1.0 lens, leading to the incredible resolution detail of its 384X288 sensor, the image results on its LCOS HD display are unlike anything ZEISS has ever produced for the night hunter.

Live Streaming via the ZEISS Hunting App

Using the ZEISS Hunting app, hunters can transfer and share data, photos, and videos from the thermal imaging camera to a smartphone via cable or WLAN and even live-stream their hunting adventures.

The Specialist for Difficult Lighting Conditions

“We know that some of the most thrilling hunting moments can occur after sunset and you can experience memorable encounters with nature when hunting at night,” explained Brown. The newly developed DTI 3/35 thermal imaging camera from ZEISS achieves the seemingly impossible: it sees details that remain hidden from the human eye. This not only makes hunting at night more fascinating, but also more successful.

Availability

The ZEISS DTI 3/35 will be available from select ZEISS authorized dealers beginning in December 2020.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—Capsule Game Feeders

From Outdoor Products Innovations

Capsule Game Feeders by Outdoor Products Innovations (OPI) illustrates the evolution, the reverse engineering, that the wildlife and hunting community is so famous for. Until you witness Capsules in action where whitetail deer and black bears overlap, it is difficult to project how these marvels completely solve so many problems.

Capsule’s best-in-class designation starts at the top by owning the convenience benefit. When compared to the difficult and dangerous acts of filling suspended pipe-leg feeders, Capsules offer super-easy “one-riot, one-ranger” refill operation. So much convenience that the tough and durable (rotomolded), ground-based Capsule design could completely eliminate pipe-leg feeders once the most recent generation of tri- and quadpod deer feeders age out of service.

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

Capsule’s patented, auger-driven technology lifts shelled corn and protien pellets to the dispenser, which makes it virtually impossible for manipulating varmints to steal feed. The powerhead for each unit features an American-made motor, state-of-the-art digital timer (5-year warranty), solar panel and battery kit, with spin-feed hardware that’s built for bear resistance. Some units are designed to attach inside scrap truck tires (not included), to prevent hogs and larger vermin from toppling them.

There is an array of sizes, from the 55-gallon DIY barrel feeder kit at $399.99, to the $1,299.99 Original Deluxe Capsule Game Feeder that stores and casts 1,000 pounds of feed.

Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls Create Little Big Mouth Bugle Tube

From Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls

Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls has created the first production aluminum bugle tube, the Atomic-13 Little Big Mouth™. Though small in size, the Little Big Mouth is loaded with features. The Little Big Mouth is a 75% version of the Wapiti Whacker™ bugle tube, but made of aluminum. The patented V.E.T.T. System™ has a tuned coil spring inserted into the mouth end to stabilize the higher notes, maintain high pitches and create more volume. The “throat” of the tube creates optimal back pressure, high volume and requires less air than a full size tube.

The Little Big Mouth is the brainchild of RMHC General Manager Kurt Howard. His goal was to create the most realistic sounding elk bugle tube ever, in a size that is easy to handle in the mountains of Idaho. Kurt used his musical background as the basis for the use of aluminum instead of blow molded plastic. Most musical horns are constructed of various metals to create the rich clear notes and high volume desired. Due to weight and durability, aluminum was the obvious metal to use.

Little Big Mouth specs:

  • Length- only 16” long
  • Weight- only 9 oz
  • Cover-water-resistant padded cover.
  • Mouth opening-1” or 1 1/2” with the V.E.T.T. enlargement ring
  • Lanyard-paracord lanyard
  • MSRP-$49.95

Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls is located in Kamiah, ID. The R&D department has over 50 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and assembling game calls. Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls have been issued 2 patents for game call design and have been used to win over 80 World Elk Calling Championships to date…more than all the other call companies combined!

ALLEN Company Adds Trap & Skeet Products

From ALLEN Company

Recent NICS data indicates a nearly 70% increase of firearm sales, when comparing Q3 of 2019 to Q3 of 2020. That is not “news” to anyone working near the shooting sports markets. What is noteworthy, however, is the impact that this phenomenon is having on the Trap and Skeet Shooting Category. This segment is being pulled along by typical active adult consumers and the nearly 10x increase in high school shooting programs across the nation.

ALLEN Company has taken notice of this spiked trendline with the introduction of 3 NEW Trap and Skeet product families.

The Competitor Series of products feature modern styling blending molded EVA foam, fashionable soft fabrics, and rip-stop materials together with pivotal product features shooters demand. Products showcasing these features include:

·Competitor Premium Range Bag featuring; removable tote/ ammo carrier, extra-long working mat as a great way to protect your firearms from getting scratched by on-demand range adjustments and cleaning, and a lockable main compartment to keep your firearms and valuables safe.

·Competitor All-In-One Shooting Bag featuring; mobile storage hub of organization holding 50 loaded shot shells/ 50 spent shot hulls in the same payload, a rapid-removal hull sack to dump your payload quickly and easily, and a space-aged, one-handed aluminum release buckle enabling you to release the bag from your waist with one hand-freeing the other hand to control your shotgun.

·Competitor Choke Tube Case featuring; extra-long choke tube vials for shooting disciplines that require long distances like target leagues or turkey and goose hunting. If you need a place for your choke wrenches, there’s also a smart little removable pouch included for you.

The Triumph Series whispers a quiet visual elegance juxtaposed against the historical value that ALLEN has always represented to the trade. These traits are exemplified through the use of thoughtful pocketing storage and leather-like zipper tabs and accents. Products showcasing these features include:

·Triumph Range Bag utilizes effective storage solutions using a lockable main compartment, featuring a plush handgun mat for protecting your firearms while cleaning or performing range service.

·Triumph Double Compartment Shell Bag epitomizes what a shell bag should be-by offering a payload of 50 loaded rounds and smartly carrying 50 spent hulls simultaneously. It also ensures you’re ready for another reload through the use of a bottom-zip hull compartment. In addition to the normal needs of a shell bag, the Triumph version offers additional storage pocketing that most bags simply don’t have.

The Rival Series rounds out the last of the new offerings. While still offering a traditional look and feel, this family provides a progressive wrinkle with a soft, Carhartt-like fabric texture to the products.

·The staple of the series is the Rival Double Compartment Shell Bag. This product allows for storage of both loaded and spent hulls and features a way to drop hulls quickly through the use of a bottom-zip opening.

·A favorite of the series thus far has been the Rival Choke Tube Case due to its trim footprint and zippered accents. Extended choke tube vials come standard with this product.

While shooting accessory vendors have chosen to take the status quo with this category, ALLEN Company has determined to deliver fresh designs and innovation to a category that is ready for a broadening demographic audience.

These, and many other fine shooting products, will be available to the shooting trade beginning in early 2021 for sale to the retail and online customer channels.

Galco Holster Care Kit

From Galco

Like all products made from natural materials, leather holsters, belts and ammo carrier require periodic care and maintenance. Recognizing this, Galco has assembled the Holster Care Kit to make it easy.

Galco’s Leather Lotion™, a cleaner and conditioner specially formulated to gently clean and preserve finished naked and exotic leathers. The special wax-free formula removes surface dirt and provides water resistance. (It should not be used on suede, nubuck or napped leathers, however.)

Draw-EZ™ is applied to the inside of your leather holster to shorten the break-in period and to provide a slicker draw. When applied sparingly to the interior surface of the leather pocket Draw-EZ will not be absorbed by the leather, alter the fit of the holster, or harm the finish on either the firearm or the holster.

The Holster Care Kit also includes an application dauber, a synthetic wool buffing pad and a foam scrub pad to make applying Leather Lotion and Draw-EZ simple and mess-free.

New Guns & Gear for 2021— Primary Arms SLx 1×20 Prism Scope with Green Illuminated Reticle

From Primary Arms Optics

Primary Arms Optics has just released the latest iteration of its popular SLx 1x Prism, now featuring a green-illuminated reticle. This scope is part of Primary Arms’ SLx product line. SLx optics built Primary Arms’ reputation for innovation, reliability and value. All SLx optics undergo rigorous field-testing during development to best serve you in any environment. The SLx 1×20 Prism Scope with ACSS Cyclops reticle is one of the most popular low-magnification prism scopes on the market, mirroring the performance of a red dot or reflex sight with an etched reticle that eliminates astigmatic distortion.

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

The SLx 1×20 Prism Scope with ACSS Cyclops reticle is currently one of Primary Arms’ best-selling optics. With a massive eyebox, compact body, and 9.7oz weight, this prism optic is able to recreate the speed and agility of red dot and holographic optics with an etched ACSS reticle. The benefit of the etched reticle is two-fold, as it usable without batteries and does not blur with an astigmatism.

With the all-new green illumination option, customers can now choose between either a red or green reticle depending on their preferences. Many professional users and hobbyists favor green reticles due to their speed of acquisition. The green illumination stands out against warm-colored environments, for example, a desert. Red reticles remain a prominent choice in heavily-vegetated areas where red offers greater contrast. Both color options come with 11 brightness settings and up to 3,000 hours of battery life on medium settings with a standard CR2032 battery.

“We’re happy to bring a green-illuminated ACSS Cyclops reticle for fans of our SLx 1x prism,” says Terry Mears, Primary Arms’ Director of Product Marketing. “Over the last few years, we’ve seen a huge increase in demand for optics with green illumination, and our SLx 1x Prism was the perfect platform for the technology.”

This new optic is now available for $239.99 from Primary Arms’ retail site and other authorized Primary Arms Optics dealers.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—ZBones Launches Bone Conduction Headphones in Mossy Oak Break-Up Country

From Mossy Oak

Mossy Oak is proud to announce a partnership with St. Louis, MO-based ZBones to introduce their latest version of wireless, Bluetooth bone conduction headphones featuring the Mossy Oak Break-Up Country pattern.

Anyone who loves the outdoors, no matter if you are a hunter, fisherman, hiker, camping enthusiast, or merely a proud outdoors man or woman looking to keep up with the latest in technology trends, the ZBones Mossy Oak bone conduction headphones are for you.

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

This unique ZBones/Mossy Oak collaborative product features a sweat-proof, all-day-wearing ergonomic design to accommodate outdoors men and women’s active lifestyles. ZBones fit comfortably over – not in or covering – the ears, and its speakers rest gently atop the cheekbones, directly in front of the ears. They won’t fall off, they can’t fall out, and they don’t hurt! Utilizing the latest in seemless Bluetooth pairing technology (connectivity up to 30 feet), ZBones allow you to safely, and continuously (for up to 6 hours on a full charge) talk on the phone or listen to your music, and still hear the sounds around you.

Bone Conduction Hearing Technology:

In the early 1800s, composer Ludwig van Beethoven’s research into how to deal with his worsening deafness, led him to position one end of a metal rod onto the soundboard of his piano, and insert the other end into his mouth. The vibrations from the piano were “conducted” by his jawbone, and ultimately interpreted by the brain as music.

Relacing metal rods, vibrations from the Zbones’ speakers are conducted through the cheekbones, and on to the brain for interpretation of the sound vibrations. In effect, the cheekbones become a second set of eardrums while leaving the normal hearing process safe and intact.

The ZBones Mossy Oak headphones are fabulous for those who may experience basic hearing loss, and can also mitigate the affects of long-term hearing loss issues that may occur with the use of traditional headphones.

Mossy Oak is excited about partnering with ZBones to provide long-term, comfortable, and safe headphones that proudly feature the Break-Up Country pattern for every age group to enjoy.

ZBones Mossy Oak Headphones Retail for $129.95. For more information, visit www.lovezbones.com
