Nukem Hunting Launches Run and Gun Blind in Mossy Oak Camo

WEST POINT, MS – The patented Nukem Hunting Blind, the first ground blind designed for the mobile hunter, has partnered with Mossy Oak to offer blinds in Bottomland and Obsession patterns. The “Run and Gun” portable hunting blind allows hunters to move quickly and silently through the woods. The Nukem blind weighs less than 4 pounds, is stake-free, and easily folds to eliminate the headache associated with conventional ground blinds. Hunters can set up wherever and whenever with ease and quickness.

“Nukem Hunting Blinds were developed to create a blind like no other on the market for hunters who like to go where the action is. We are ecstatic to have a brand such as Mossy Oak on our blinds so we can offer the best blind in the best patterns for hunters,” said Pat Newcomb, President of Nukem Hunting.

The Nukem portable hunting blinds come in two sizes: one for hunting from the ground and the other to accomodate a chair. The window height adjusts based on the width of the blind, so no matter the age or size, hunters are concealed yet able to see their surroundings. This blind is one-of-a-kind. Read more

Going Match Pro with Bushnell

By Paul Erhardt, Editor, the Outdoor Wire Digital Network

I am not a long range shooter. Er, uh, I wasn’t a long range shooter but then I got to do some serious long range shooting.

I’m not talking just a couple hundred yards. No sir, those are rookie distances. I’m talking really reaching out there. You know, 800, 1,000, 1,300 yards out there. And, of course, 1 mile.

I hit targets at all those distances. I was using a very well set up custom rifle designed for precision rifle competition use. But still, a rifle can only do so much, and the shooter has to do his or her part. And, not to brag, I did my part.

But I did have a little help. A secret weapon, if you will. So, what was my secret weapon?

Glad you asked. All that rifle, and all my innate long range shooting talent (which I didn’t know I had up until that point) amount to nothing without a solid piece of glass to help you aim. The scope I was using was the recently announced Match Pro ED 5-30×56 FFP Riflescope from Bushnell. Read more

iAiming Launches iA-317

(Arlington, TX) iAiming, a global leader in smart thermal rifle scopes and creator of First Shot – Auto Zero™ technology, is proud to offer to the US market for the first time the highly anticipated iA-317.

iAiming proudly introduces an all star of its three core products. The iA-317 is a thermal rifle scope in a class of its own with unprecedented technology and a user experience that is unmatched. The iA-317 was designed and developed by Australian based Uniwin Smart PTY LTD and features a globally patented First Shot – Auto Zero™ feature. With just a single shot, this feature is designed to provide an effective, automated sight-in process. iAiming’s artificial intelligence utilizes a single scroll-knob to access the on-board menu system. First Shot – Auto Zero™ technology significantly saves time and ammunition, and is beneficial to both novice shooters and the most skilled marksmen. This innovative technology has greatly improved the products usability and is a revolutionary step in rifle scope development.

Hog hunting has been on the rise in North America for several years now. Hog numbers continue to climb and the feral pig has been named one of North America’s apex predators. They wreak havoc on crops as well as the deer and turkey populations, so it’s no wonder that hog hunting generates more interest in shooting, hunting and gear than any other game animal. For this pursuit as well as many other applications, iAiming now offers the perfect piece of equipment. The aircraft grade aluminum housing used in the iA-317 combines strength, sophistication, and rigidity in a compact, lightweight design. The hard-anodized coating provides an attractive, scratch free, chemical-resistant surface that is easy to maintain. With a resolution of 384×288 and 17?m, the quality and clarity are best in class. All components in the scope, including the battery, are designed in accordance with IP67 standards. High reliability and structural strength ensures flawless function under extreme environmental conditions ranging from -40? to +50?. The fully waterproof design handles all working conditions, even if the thermal weapon sight is exposed to moisture for an extended period. Read more

Michigan: new fat-tire bike season at Silver Lake State Park opens Thursday

Following another successful off-road vehicle riding season and the first official shoreline horseback riding season this past November, the DNR is expanding outdoor recreation at Silver Lake State Park with fat-tire biking.

The fat-tire bike season will run Dec. 15-March 15 from 8 a.m. to dusk each day and take place at the Silver Lake ORV Area. Riders can enjoy 450 acres of open sand dunes, elevation changes of 80-100 feet, access to Lake Michigan and sunsets over the lake from the top of the dunes.

“With fat-tire bike riding growing in popularity each year, we realized this was an opportunity to usher in a new way to experience the dunes,” said Jody Johnston, Silver Lake State Park manager. “We held a couple of pilot rides to help determine if this was something that could be accommodated. We are confident this will be a popular activity and plan to offer fat-tire biking in future years.”

No reservations or preregistration are needed to enjoy the season; however, a Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry into the parking lot, located at 8890 West Shore Drive in Mears. A Recreation Passport self-pay station is available at the lot entrance. Read more
