Buck Knives Releases 245 MWG Navy Seal Knife

Designed by a SEAL for SEALS, the 245 Matt Would Go knife is a nearly indestructible tool, built for the roughest of circumstances.

Special Warfare Operator First Class (SEAL) Matthew J. Leathers was a highly decorated combat veteran with numerous awards, including the Bronze Star, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal and Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. In 2013 Leathers was lost at sea during open ocean training exercises. During his nine years with the U.S Navy SEALS, Leathers designed a knife that held up to his high standards and caught the eye of his fellow SEALS.

Buck Knives has entered into agreement with Tim Leathers, father of fallen Navy SEAL Matthew Leathers, to continue making a knife that was originally designed by Leathers himself. Buck is honored to make this knife and help bring this symbol of strength and courage to the market. A percentage of net sales benefit Tim Leathers’ company, the MattWouldGo™ LLC, which in turn donates to the Navy SEAL Foundation. MattWouldGo™ LLC is Tim’s tribute to the dauntless courage of his son and his fellow SEALS around the globe. Read more

Triton Introduces 260 LTS Pro Bay Boat

Triton 260 LTS Pro Sets New Standard For Bay Boats

Ashland City, Tennessee — Serious saltwater anglers are calling the new 260 LTS PRO from Triton “the ultimate bay boat.” With its radical pad hull design and state-of-the-art fishing features, this spectacular fishing machine sets a new standard in the highly competitive bay boat class.

The new 260 LTS PRO (Light Tackle Series) spans 25 feet 5 inches at the centerline and boasts a roomy 8½-foot beam. It rates for outboards ranging from 250 to 350 hp, and delivers incredible performance with engines in the popular 300 hp class.

“We designed and engineered the 260 LTS PRO from the ground up to outfish and outperform all other boats in its class,” said Triton founder Earl Bentz. “We incorporated a pad bottom at the stern, which greatly enhances the 260’s hole shot, maximizes mid-range and top-end performance, and yields greater fuel economy. We also added a substantial bow flair, which serves the dual purpose of keeping the interior of the boat and its occupants exceptionally dry in rough seas while providing hard-core anglers with a massive front casting deck and unmatched storage capacity for tackle and gear.” Read more

DNR cautions anglers about ice dams, sudden changes in river flow

The Department of Natural Resources urges anglers to use caution when planning trips on Michigan’s rivers and streams this winter. Winter fishing for trout and steelhead can be challenging and rewarding, but cold air temperatures can cause sudden and significant changes in flows in rivers and streams.

According to DNR fisheries biologist Kyle Kruger, temperature effects are most pronounced at times of very cold air temperatures, particularly below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, especially if areas with extreme nighttime cold temperatures alternate with warmer days. Read more

Streamlight® Launches High Lumen, Long-range Rail Light

TLR-1® HPL™ Combines Extreme Brightness with Superior Downrange Capability

EAGLEVILLE, PA- Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting equipment, has introduced the TLR-1® HPL™ (high performance, high lumen) rail-mounted strobing light, which combines long-range lighting capability with blinding white light. Featuring 775 lumens measured system output, 48,000 candela peak beam intensity, and a beam distance of 438 meters, the new tactical light also is available in a remote switch model.

“The new TLR-1 HPL is the ‘whole package’ because it functions as both a high lumen light, while also delivering a brighter ‘hotspot’ which puts more light on a target at a distance,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “For example, while other downrange beam patterns would illuminate a target’s head and shoulders, the HPL beam lights up the target’s entire upper torso. That makes it a powerful tactical tool for law enforcement professionals, military personnel and other first responders as they perform room clearing, search operations and other maneuvers under low-light conditions.” Read more

Game & Fish/Sportsman Posts Exclusive Online Review Of New Zeiss Crossbow Scope

Excellent glass and a unique ballistic reticle make Zeiss’ XB75 crossbow scope worth a look for your crossbow hunting. Photo by John Geiger.

Terra XB75 boasts great glass, unique ballistic reticle in this growing segment of the hunting industry

Kennesaw, Ga. – The first review of Zeiss’ first-ever crossbow scope is now online, and hunters can now decide if the new Terra XB75 is worth the $400-plus price tag.

The review is at gafmag.com/zeiss-xb75.

John Geiger, senior editor at Game & Fish/Sportsman magazine and the editor of Crossbow Revolution, found that the German-engineered and -designed 2-7×32 rifle-style crossbow scope performed as billed and offered some innovative features. He also had a few suggestions for making it even better.

Glass is the heart of any scope, and the writer found that Zeiss’ MC coatings on the Schott glass were excellent, especially for a scope that hunters would likely use within 75 yards. Zeiss is known for quality optics that are effective at hundreds of yards for long-range rifle hunting. While crossbows can be accurate to more than 100 yards, environmental conditions, hunter skill, crossbow power and other factors often reduce the actual point-of-impact accuracy and kinetic energy at longer distances. As a result, most crossbow hunters consider an ethical shooting distance to be about 40 yards. At that distance and beyond, this glass will give hunters excellent clarity at first light and at last light, when game is often most active.

The scope’s reticle is designed to give the hunter quick arrow-drop compensation. Hunters can choose an aiming point from 17 1/2 yards all the way to 75 yards at an amazing 2 1/2-yard increments – without adjusting on the fly. Read more
