Garmin Instinct GPS Watch

OLATHE, Kan. / Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today announced Instinct, a strong and durable GPS watch with built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter plus multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) support and wrist-based heart rate. In addition to key GPS data, ABC and heart rate sensors, Instinct includes built-in sports apps, smart connectivity and wellness data.

“We are thrilled to add Instinct to our adventure watch lineup, an approachable smartwatch that is rugged and reliable,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Instinct is perfect for those who spend their time outdoors and demand a device built tough to stand up in the elements.”

The Instinct is a reliable tool built to endure challenging environments. The Instinct is constructed to military standards (MIL-STD-810G) for thermal, shock and water resistance (rated to 100 meters) with a fiber reinforced polymer case. It’s built with a chemically-strengthed and scratch-resistant display that’s easy-to-read, especially in direct sunlight. Plus, the fully-vented silicone bands include two independent, removable keeper loops to ensure a secure fit.

While in the field, feel confident exploring off the beaten path thanks to the Instinct, which features multiple GNSS satellite networks to help track a users location in more challenging environments than with just GPS alone. Before venturing out, use the Garmin Explore™ app to plan the trip in advance and when it’s time to head back to camp, the TracBack® feature on the watch can navigate the same route back to the original starting point.

Product Safety Bulletin for Ruger American Pistols

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) has issued a product Safety Bulletin for certain Ruger American® Pistols chambered in 9mm.

Ruger has discovered that some Ruger American Pistols chambered in 9mm may exhibit premature wear of the locking surfaces between the slide and barrel which, if ignored, can result in a crack developing near the ejection port of the slide. This typically does not occur at round counts below 10,000 rounds. The condition is easily identified during routine maintenance and cleaning, and the crack should be visible long before the pistol becomes unsafe to shoot. Ruger is committed to safety and is asking owners of Ruger American Pistols chambered in 9mm to inspect their pistols for excessive wear or cracks and, if necessary, sign up for a FREE retrofit. Ruger American Pistols chambered in .45 Auto are not subject to this Safety Bulletin. Read more

Advantage Hunting Blind:Late Season Blind Tips

As winter approaches and hunting seasons start winding down, savvy hunters know that cold weather can trigger hot deer activity. With the rut over both bucks and does now focus their attention and efforts on food as they fatten up before the impending winter. Hunters should do so as well, specifically targeting concentrated food sources.

For many hunters, that means food plots. The best ones will be those planted with cool-season annuals specifically designed to last into late-season. Examples include winter wheat, which may persist throughout the winter in southern climes; soybeans, which deer seem to shift their focus to later in the season and brassica species that produce large root bulbs that the deer will continue to feed on after the greens are long gone. The best options for those without food plots are un-harvested or poorly harvested agricultural fields or natural food sources like mast orchards. Where legal, bait sites will also become increasingly more productive as the season progresses and deer need to consume more calories. Read more
