RICHMOND, Va. (Dec.14, 2021) — German Precision Optics (GPO), USA is setting the bar in the laser rangefinding binocular category with the introduction of its new RANGEGUIDE™ 8×32 and 10x32s.

The magnesium frame is to thank for much of the light weight, but the small footprint of the internal laser rangefinding engine is the RANGEGUIDE’s most prevalent feature. Read more

Michigan: time to check trees for hemlock woolly adelgids

Invasive pest already confirmed in five southwest Michigan counties

Hemlock woolly adelgids, tiny invasive insects that suck nutrients from hemlock trees, are known to be present in Allegan, Ottawa, Muskegon, Oceana and Mason counties.

State agency staff, university researchers and regional cooperative invasive species management areas have been working to identify and contain infestations that span across public and private lands.

This winter, the Michigan departments of Natural Resources and Agriculture and Rural Development encourage those who have eastern hemlock trees on their property, whether in known infested counties or elsewhere, to take time to inspect the trees for signs of hemlock woolly adelgid.

If untreated, hemlock woolly adelgids can kill hemlock trees in four to 10 years. Trees can be protected with proper insecticide treatments. Read more
