Ultimate Versatility with New Breed Archery’s ECLIPSE

Fultondale, Ala.–Although costly, it isn’t uncommon for shooters to own two bows, one for bowhunting and the other for the 3D or target range. And while each bow may perform in their respective area, neither can do it all. That is of course unless one of them happens to be the New Breed Archery ECLIPSE. In short, it was designed specifically to “do it all”.

For starters, with an IBO velocity up to 335 fps, the ECLIPSE carries enough speed to make errors in range estimation less costly whether on the line or in the field. But, unlike some bows, that speed doesn’t come with a reduction in shooter friendly qualities. In fact, the Eclipse is anything but challenging to shoot. Read more

Great Ground Blinds From Ameristep’s Under Armour Series

A great ground blind should be convenient to carry into the woods, quick to set up, and then provide superior concealment. The Under Armour Series from Ameristep offers a ground blind for any hunting situation.

New for 2015 from Ameristep is the Under Armour Storm Gear Blind. Made with durable yet lightweight rip-stop fabric, the Storm Gear Blind combines two important features hunters look for in a premier ground blind. The tough fabric means there are no worries about using the blind in thick areas where sticks and briars might rip and tear other ground blinds. Big bucks don’t get big by hanging out in open areas; they are usually in the thick stuff. That’s where the durable rip-stop fabric of this blind is a real advantage.

The Under Armour Storm Gear Blind is tough, yet it is also lightweight. The total weight of the blind is just 20 pounds, so hunters will have no hesitation toting it to a favorite hunting area. The blind features DWR finish and taped seams for ultimate weather protection. With silent slide windows and Realtree Xtra Camo, the Under Armour Storm Gear Blind has a 75-inch shooting width and is 67 inches tall.

#PROJECTELK Documentary to Shine Light on Hunting, Conservation

MISSOULA, Mont.—A one-hour television documentary titled #PROJECTELK will help North America continue an on-going dialogue about the benefits of hunting and its positive impact on conservation.

Produced by Jason Matzinger and presented by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, #PROJECTELK will follow an epic journey alongside one of North America’s most majestic creatures, the Rocky Mountain elk.

“Jason is as skilled a cinematographer as he is a hunter—and that’s saying something,” said Steve Decker, RMEF vice president of Marketing. “He created the final product by editing down more than 200 hours of footage taken over six hunting seasons. It is compelling and delivers an important message for all ages and lifestyles that examines the vital link between hunting and conservation.”

#PROJECTELK is the story of the origins, science, and evolution behind conservation, and the question around whether hunters are the earth’s true conservationists. It includes interviews with hunters, biologists, wildlife experts and others.

“The goal is to help educate the 80 percent of our population that does not hunt on exactly how Hunting Is Conservation,” said Matzinger. “I understand that not everyone was brought up in a hunting household and can see why the killing of an animal to save a wildlife population may be confusing. I want people to understand how that works and why that’s okay. I would also like those who do hunt to better understand our shared role as stewards of the land as we share the conservation message with others.”

#PROJECTELK will air at 7 p.m. on August 15, 2015, and again at 7 p.m. on October 31, 2015, on the Sportsman Channel (all times ET). Read more

Ammunition Background Checks Suspended in New York

They were billed as a centerpiece of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s 2013 SAFE Act, but in a default victory for New York gun owners, the National Shooting Sports Foundation reports that background checks for New York ammunition purchases have been scrapped.

An agreement between Republican Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan and Director of Operations Jim Lamatras on Friday suspends this section of the SAFE Act. The agreement goes on to stipulate that no state money will be used to implement the database, meaning the ban on internet sales of ammunition is also discontinued. The New York State Police also acknowledged there is a “lack of technology” for supporting the database.

SCIENTIFIC FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ACT UPHELD

Lawsuit by Keep Michigan Wolves Protected Summarily Dismissed

Lansing—The Michigan Court of Claims today dismissed a lawsuit by anti-hunting groups challenging the constitutionality of the Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. In a strongly-worded opinion by the Honorable Mark T. Boonstra, the Court ruled in favor of the State of Michigan, Department of Natural Resources and Natural Resources Commission and summarily dismissed the challenge to the law from Keep Michigan Wolves Protected, which was heavily financed and run by the Humane Society of the United States.

“The Attorney General’s office did an excellent job of defending this law on its constitutional merits,” said Drew YoungeDyke, public relations manager for Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC). “The Court recognized that the Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act was about just what its title says, managing fish, wildlife and their habitats with sound science.”

The Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act (SFWCA) was enacted as a citizen initiative by the Michigan Legislature in August of 2014 under a constitutional provision that allows citizens to propose laws to their elected representatives. The initiative, led by the Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management coalition, contained provisions designed to manage fish, wildlife and habitat with sound science, including authorizing the Natural Resources Commission to designate game species (including wolves) and issue fisheries orders while requiring it to use sound science, discounting hunting and fishing licenses for active military members (hunting and fishing licenses pay for fish and wildlife management), and appropriating $1 million to manage and prevent aquatic invasive species.

The Court ruled that “the general purpose or aim, of the SFWCA is to manage fish, wildlife and their habitats,” and that, “provisions in the SFWCA relate to this object,” contrary to Keep Michigan Wolves Protected’s claim that they were unrelated to each other. Therefore, it ruled that Keep Michigan Wolves Protected “fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted,” and dismissed the challenge. Read more
