Leupold Announces RX-1400i TBR/W Laser Rangefinder

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, has announced the launch of its new RX-1400i TBR/W laser rangefinder, which enters the market as the most versatile, feature-rich rangefinder in its class.

Equipped with Leupold’s proprietary DNA ranging engine for lightning-fast accuracy and an exceptionally bright red display, the RX-1400i’s True Ballistic Range/Wind feature uses ballistically calculated ranges to keep you on target even when on the most extreme uphill and downhill shots. TBR/W accounts for the angle of your shot and your rifle’s ballistics to put you dead on target. Other rangefinders use basic trigonometry to calculate a straight-line horizontal distance, meaning they may not produce a truly accurate range to your target. The wind feature provides 10 mph full value wind hold to help you calculate a hold value in rapidly-changing wind environments. Read more

Urban and Suburban Feeder Havens

During cold snaps and periods of snowfall, bird seeds provided at backyard feeding stations become even more important resources for American Tree Sparrows, one of the 14 common backyard species studied (photo by Paul Konrad).

When Arctic air and blowing snow send winter temperatures plunging, backyard bird feeders can provide safe havens for wintering birds, especially in northern latitudes. A new research study shows that these kinds of observations are no coincidence: Some birds flee the countryside and find refuge in urban and suburban neighborhoods – utilizing bird feeders provided there – to survive extreme winter weather. The study focused on 14 common backyard species, from birds like Northern Cardinals and Tufted Titmice that have historically lived in more temperate areas to cold weather birds such as Red-breasted Nuthatches and American Tree Sparrows.

Using data from more than 3,500 Project FeederWatch sites in the eastern United States, Ecologists Chris Latimer and Benjamin Zuckerberg studied the connections between winter weather patterns and where birds were being reported. Latimer explained that “FeederWatch is great because it provides a huge dataset of information going back decades, and you can get data from the exact same sites across a large geographic area for nearly 5 straight months over winter. So you can really start to compare when birds are in a certain region and when they’re not.” Read more

Meopta Introduces MeoPro Optika LR Rangefinding Binoculars

TAMPA, FL – Meopta is pleased to introduce the MeoPro Optika LR series. Available in 10×42 HD and 8×50 HD models, these high-performance laser rangefinding binoculars quickly measure distance up to 2,600 yards and 2,950 yards, respectively.

The Optika LR’s premium European optics with HD fluoride glass and Meopta’s advanced MeoLux lens coating deliver exceptionally bright images in low light with maximum resolution and contrast. Color fidelity is true throughout the entire field of view and the MeoDrop hydrophobic coating ensures a clear view, even in the most extreme weather conditions.

The fast and accurate integrated laser rangefinder features three modes: Auto – which provides continuous ranging of moving targets. Near Ranging – which ranges the closest object in the aiming circle, and Far Ranging – which ranges the farthest object in the aiming circle to ensure an accurate reading in situations where there may be objects in the foreground, such as tree limbs or tall grass, that could interfere with a less precisely calibrated rangefinder. The two distance modes offer an advantage to those who frequently hunt in varied terrains. Incline data is also measured for accurate angle compensation in the field. Read more
