For the die-hard whitetail hunter, their arrival marks the beginning of the countdown to opening day. And this year’s May 15 release of the flagship whitetail titles from Drury Outdoors will push the anticipation into overdrive with an onslaught of giant buck kills and encounters the Team is calling “Head, Rack and Shoulders Above the Rest.” Whitetail Madness® 13, Dream Season® 13 and Volume 10 in the 100% Wild Fair Chase® series feature 50 on-camera kills not seen on TV, with a total of nine gross booners hitting the turf.

Whitetail Madness® 13 catalogs a year of big-buck fanaticism from shed hunting in March to the blowing snow of the late muzzleloader season. Of the 16 kills by bow, gun and muzzleloader, 7 score over an astounding 150″.  Dream Season® 13 continues the Drury Team’s redefinition of the American dream – sharing the hunt with family. Bonds are reinforced and plenty of huge bucks hit the turf in this year’s edition. To complete the hat trick, Volume 10 in the 100% Wild Fair Chase® series is a killer compilation of how-to lessons from the previous nine seasons in the timber.

“Each year, we set out to raise the bar on not only our own previous titles, but every other whitetail production out there. This season, more than any other, we’ve set a far-reaching precedent. The heart-pounding encounters and sheer inches of antler we laid down were nothing short of amazing, and we can’t wait for the American whitetail hunter to experience it,” said Mark Drury.

The three new DVDs hit shelves everywhere May 15, marking Drury Outdoors’ 21-year anniversary and the dramatic continuation of a mantra deer hunters know well – Our Videos Are Different.

Bushnell Laser Rangefinders

Indiana Bushnell, the world famous archaeologist and seeker of antiquities, stared into face of the Nazi. “Now, Dr. Bushnell. You will hand over the Fusion 1600 ARC rangefinder. I need its binocular/rangefinding capabilities.”

“Never,” Indiana muttered as he strained against the ropes that held him. It had been terrible to collect the sacred rangefinders of the ancient Optics tribe, and he wasn’t about to give them up. The Bushnell Elite 1500 was the same one that the army used, and the Bowhunter Chuck Adams Edition was ultra compact and lightweight, made especially for bows. A Nazi punched him in the stomach and he grunted.

The villagers had asked him to collect the rangefinders, to bring peace and prosperity back to their small hamlet. Their hunters used the Legend 1200 ARC since it offered bow, rifle, bullseye, brush and scan modes. Their golfers loved the Pro 1600 Slope Edition, since it told them exactly how to play. He had found the Yardage Pro laser rangefinder deep in the bowels of an ancient temple. He had quickly exchanged it for a bag of sand of equal weight, but he had been too slow.  Poisoned darts flew out of the walls, and he had been lucky to escape with his life.

The Nazi screamed in his face, “Tell me where the rangefinders are!” He nodded to a big Nazi who swung a nine iron. “Fritz over here needs to improve his golf game, and the Tour V2 Slope edition will give him a precise fit to the hand while delivering the exact distances he needs.”

Rikki Scott, noted American singer, had helped him get the Medalist range finder away from the temple goons who had hidden it in their evil shrine. The Medalist works quick with a natural feel to the eye, and was able to find any pin on the golf course. But then after he handed it to her, she dropped it into a pit full of alligators. If not for the white water rapids, and her screaming, the gators would have gotten him.

The Nazi swung the golf club and Indiana saw stars. He fell to the ground and he could feel his blood trickling on his neck. “Surely your life is worth more than a Sport 450 rangerfinder, Dr. Bushnell?” the Nazi muttered. “Bring the girl.”

A high pitched scream came to Indiana’s ears. They had caught Rikki.

The Nazis brought her to Indiana, and Fritz swung his club. “Wait,” Indiana said. “Let her go and I’ll tell you where they are.”

“See, I knew you could be reasonable.” The Nazi nodded and they released her. She ran up to Indiana and helped him to his feet. “I’m sorry, Indy,” she whispered.

He glared at the Nazi. “They’re in my boots, secret compartments.”

The Nazi pointed to Fritz, and he bent over to check out Indiana’s shoes. Indiana kicked him hard in the head, and then jumped up. Hands bound, he ran over the Nazi and yelled, “Come on,” to Rikki. They headed for the old rope suspension bridge.

“Can we make it, Indy?” Rikki said as she untied him.

He switched the Yardage Pro XGC  rangefinder to his eye. He didn’t need the 100 golf courses programmed into it, but its accuracy would help him judge the distance he’d have to cut the bridge ropes. “You bet we can make it. It will be just like riding those elephants.”

Timney Introduces Lefty Trigger for Remington 700 Rifles

Phoenix, Arizona – What do Samuel Colt, Henry Ford, J. Edgar Hoover and Mark Twain all have in common? They were all left handed. Timney Manufacturing understands that regardless which hand you use to pull a trigger with, you should have a good trigger. That’s exactly why Timney is now offering triggers for left hand Remington model 700 rifles. In the Timney tradition, these new left hand triggers require no gunsmithing, are fully adjustable, deliver the same crisp pull and offer the shot to shot consistency Timney triggers have become famous for.

Timney Manufacturing has been making replacement triggers for the Remington Model 700 rifles for over forty-four years. In 2006, Timney began producing a new trigger for the Remington 700 which comes complete with safety; the only drop-in, after market trigger with the safety included. This was a totally new design with a safety that blocks the trigger not the sear. For 2010, Timney is offering this same trigger, as well as the model 700 trigger without a safety, for left hand Remington model 700 rifles. Now left handed hunters, target shooters and even tactical marksmen who rely on the Remington 700 can enjoy the benefits of a Timney trigger.

Each Timney Trigger is geometrically identical with tolerances less than .0005″. The trigger housing features machined work surfaces that are milled from solid billet. All working parts are CNC machined with all contact / wear surfaces hardened and polished to provide you with years of dependable service. The trigger components are machined using state-of-the-art electrical discharge machines (EDM) from high-grade solid steel.

Since founded in 1946, Timney Manufacturing has built a reputation based on quality products. Because of the precision machining and workmanship that goes into every Timney product they are often referred to as “The World’s Finest Triggers” and they are used exclusively by some of the world’s most renowned custom gun builders.

Laser dSLR Reticle To Make Your Pets Extremely Uncomfortable

I’m not sure the specific advantage that a configurable, tactical laser reticle can offer your photography other than turning a photo shoot into a photo shoot.

Slipping into any camera’s hot shoe mount, this ‘Wildlife Photography with Tactical Four Reticle Sight’ allows you to frame your subjects the semi-lethal way, with either red or green lasers marking a point, circle point, circle cross or cross, just like your favorite Tom Clancy novel. And don’t worry, since the laser [Ed note: it's probably an LED, but the word "laser" was dropped by Brando] is integrated solely into the optics, those pesky red dots won’t appear anywhere in your picture.

Available now for $40—it’s perfect for headshots.

Morgan, UT – John M. Browning could be called the greatest gun designer of all time, and two designs he made for Winchester Repeating Arms, the 1895 and 1886 lever action rifles were a couple of his finest. Expanding on past offerings of these two masterpieces, Winchester Repeating Arms is now offering Grade I configurations in both models.

The 1895 Grade I features a deeply blued receiver, lever and barrel.  It has a straight buttplate and satin finish walnut stock and forearm.   The adjustable buckhorn rear sight and sculpted front blade remind you of guns of past generations.   The addition of a tang safety in addition to the standard hammer safety adds a little modern touch to the rifle.  The 1895 Grade I is available in 405 Winchester, 30-40 Krag and 30-06.  It is a beautiful rifle with a link to the past.  Suggested retail price is $1,179.00

The 1886 Extra Light Grade I rifle also features a deeply blued receiver, lever and barrel.  In addition, it has a blued steel end cap and straight buttplate.  The rifle features a classic half length magazine for the 45-70 cartridges that the rifle is chambered for. The sight on the 1886 is an adjustable rear buckhorn design with a bladed front. The rifle also is designed with a tang safety.   Suggested retail price of the 1886 is $1,269.00

Both the 1895 and 1886 are being made in very limited quantities.   Interested gun owners should contact their local Winchester Repeating Arms dealer immediately if they are interested in buying one.

Steiner Binoculars

Eight Predators for the Nighthunters under the sky,
Thirteen Military & Police for the protectors in their halls of justice,
Ten Marine Safaris for the adventurers doomed to seek thrills,
Eight Peregrine Wildlife for the eagle eye,
Four Merlin for the darkness, where the twilight lies.
Binoculars to rule the light waves, optics to find them,
Binoculars to bring them all and in the darkness find them,
in the land of Steiner, where the rugged clarity lies.

Focus, the little halfling climbed up the sharp rocks of Mount Destructoom and when he reached the top, he brushed off his shaggy feet and peered across the broken landscape. Sam, his companion pulled out his Steiner Peregrine binoculars and scanned the distant lands, glad of the lightweight magnesium chassis. “I think we made it, Mr. Focus, the Opticghosts haven’t stopped us from destroying the Merlin High Performance Binoculars.”

“It’s been a terrible journey, Sam. I’m glad that you have come with me. And I’m also glad for my dependable Safari-Pro binoculars.” He reached under his Elvin cloak and looked out at the bleakness glad for the UV-A and UV-B blocking power. “When the Opticghosts searched the highlands, their Predator binocular eyes pinpointing wildlife and blocking haze, I thought that we were hidden well, but their binoculars were too good at picking up colors.”

“Aye,” Sam agreed. “We were very lucky to be able to fight our way out of that one.” He touched his empty sword sheath. “It is too bad that Golcough took our swords in the battle. That little goblin has eyes like Wildlife Pro binoculars, tough, waterproof and built to handle the world’s harshest conditions.”

Focus stood. “We are too close to our goal to worry about him.” He stared up at the gaping hole in the wall of the volcano. Steam and heat rolled out. “I go on alone from here, Sam.”

Sam nodded. “I’ll be here if you need me, Mr. Focus, as dependable as a Law Enforcement pair of binoculars.”

Focus smiled. “Good Sam.” He climbed the rest of the way. Just as he was about to enter the opening, Golcough jumped out from behind a hidden rock. He reached for the powerful pair of Merlin binoculars. “My cherished! Give me!”

“Never!” Focus cried, pulling them away from the twisted imp. “These are too powerful! They must be destroyed!” As they fought, he fell and rolled into the volcano, Golcough going with him.

“No, Mr. Focus!” Sam cried. He ran up into the choking hole. It was blackness, except for the dim glow of lava. “I can’t see a thing. I wish I had Nighthunter XP binoculars and their unparalleled low-light performance.” He felt his way along the rough walls. “Mr. Focus? Are you there?” There was no answer.

Just as he was about to give up, he came out to a ledge and there was Mr. Focus. He was holding the powerful pair of Merlins over the edge of the lava. “Destroy them, Mr. Focus,” Sam called.

Golcough was huddled down at his feet. “Give me my cherished,” he croaked.

Mr. Focus had a gleam in his eyes and he clenched the binoculars. Then, drawing his will, he let go with an effort, and they fell, landing on the lava far below. The halflings and Golcough looked down in surprise. The binoculars were so well made that they weren’t destroyed. “Steiner makes a quality binocular,” Sam muttered as the fate of the world floated away on liquid rock.

“My cherished!” Golcough’s voice echoed through the darkness.
