BlindSPOT -360 Not A Trail Cam, It’s A LiveCAM

See where you can’t – LIVE, right from your phone!

 

Plymouth- WI: Ever wish you could see what’s on the trail on the next ridge or valley below?  Ever wish you could see what’s in the field just beyond the staging area you’re hunting? Wouldn’t it be nice to watch your son or daughter on their first hunt even though they’re out of sight (hey, you want them to grow up, but you also want to make sure they’re hunting safe)?

If so, the New BlindSPOT-360 is your new, best, hunting partner!

Take the lightweight BlindSPOT-360 out and set it up to 50 yards (line of sight) from your stand location and spy on game hundred of yards away right on your phone.  It’s perfect for scouting fields while you hunt your favorite spot (killing two birds with one phone).  Maybe there’s a hot doe being courted but you’re not in the game (yet) because you can hear something but not see what’s going on?  The BlindSPOT-360 can change the game and let you put the stalk on even though you’re not in visual sight of the show.

ZEISS Victory Harpia Spotting Scopes


ZEISS Introduces Two Victory Harpia Wide-Angle Super Premium Spotting Scopes
Thornwood, NY –The all new Victory Harpia spotting scopes, Made in Germany, represent the latest and premier offering from ZEISS in this segment of sports optics. This family is currently comprised of two models, 85mm and 95mm versions, angled in design, consisting of the 22-65×85 and 23-70×95 configurations, which incorporate a bayonet style eyepiece. The name was inspired by the Harpy eagle, a powerful and fierce bird of prey, with a wingspan of over six feet, that defies fear at any level and whose talons are longer than the claws of a Grizzly bear.The Harpia design is revolutionary with the magnification and dual speed focus controls intelligently positioned into the objective body of the spotting scope. This is highly unique in the fact that the magnification is not controlled by the eyepiece, as is typical of spotting scopes – it is an objective focus design. Additionally, this allows the low-profile eyepiece to remain extremely compact and lightweight. The Harpia offers a true wide-angle view, yielding the largest consistent field of view in its class, and offers an impressive close focus range of 11.5 feet with the 85mm model, and 14.8 feet with the 95mm model.
