Hawke® Optics, a worldwide leader in quality sporting optics that perform outstanding in the field while maintaining optimum value for the consumer, is coming to the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) Convention February 15-19, 2023 (booth #2156) in Nashville, TN, and they are bringing the best turkey-hunting shotgun optics you’ll find anywhere. Hawke is set to take over the turkey hunting market and you will not want to miss it. With more turkey hunters adding an optic to their shotguns every year, now is a great time to increase your accuracy for better hunting.
“We’re excited for this year’s NWTF Convention, and for our customers to get hands-on with the best range of turkey-hunting shotgun optics available,” said Kevin Sheehan, Hawke Optics VP of Sales & Marketing. “Our new Vantage IR 1-4X20 Turkey Dot shotgun scope sets a new standard for hunting sight performance, and for hunters looking for something else, we have the Reflex Circle Dot Wide-View sight and the 1x Prism Red Dot sight. Regardless of what style of sight you want for your turkey gun, we have you completely covered.”
The new Vantage IR 1-4×20 Turkey Dot scope was designed from the ground up to be the ultimate turkey scope. It uses Hawke’s new Turkey Dot IR reticle for extremely fast target acquisition. Being a multi-power scope, you can use it on 1x for reflex shooting when the bird is in close. However, you also can zoom in at longer distances with up to 4X magnification. The 4 MOA illuminated center dot is surrounded by a circle that measures 10 inches at 25 yards, when on 1x magnification. The floating non-illuminated posts at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock give additional guides and level confirmation for improved accuracy and rapid target identification.
The new turkey scope has 4-inches of eye relief, making it adaptable to how you mount your shotgun. It has capped low-profile ½ MOA turrets and a new precision glass etched reticle with multi-stage illumination in both red and green. The scope is built on a 1-inch monotube chassis and features a high torque zoom ring and a fast focus eyebell. It also is nitrogen purged, shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof, so it can handle whatever elements you encounter while out in the turkey woods.
Looking for a reflex-style shotgun sight instead? No problem! Hawke has you covered with the Reflex Circle Dot Wide View with a 2 MOA Dot / 35 MOA Circle. This red dot sight has 25-layer multi-coated optics for clarity and eight levels of brightness to adapt to your conditions. It has long battery life from the included CR2023 battery, and the sight will go into standby mode if it detects that it hasn’t moved for 5 minutes. Being a reflex-style sight, eye relief is generous and the Weaver-rail mount allows you to place the sight wherever suits your shooting style best.
Want a more traditional red dot sight? Hawke’s new 1×15 Prism Sight uses their new Speed Dot reticle with center dot and horseshoe. This sight comes with a low-profile mount and a lower 1/3 co-witness mount, these sights can be set up so you can still access your bead sights, if you want. The Prism has a 10-stage digital brightness control, exposed one MOA click turrets, and an auto shut off and shake awake feature to save on battery life. The Prism sight is nitrogen-purged, shock-, water-, and fog-proof, and can handle the recoil of even the heaviest turkey load, something true of all Hawke Optics turkey sights. It is constructed out of high-quality aluminum, which keeps weight down, but it is still rugged enough for hard-core hunting. The new Prism sight has a quick focus diopter and digital brightness controls and is parallax error free from 10 yards.
Whatever style of sight you want to make your turkey gun that much better and more accurate this season, Hawke has you covered with a complete line of sights that are second to none. Whether you’re looking at the ground-breaking new scope, the amazing Reflex Circle Dot Wide View, or the versatile new Prism Red Dot, the perfect optic to top your shotgun can be found at the Hawke booth at the NWTF Convention.
