Overland Park, Kan. — In 2010, Bushnell introduced the Fusion 1600 ARC laser range finding binoculars.

Overland Park, Kan.. — The Bushnell Elite series handgun scope offers pistol and revolver shooters a tough, high quality scope designed to handle the heavy recoil of hunting loads.

The scope is forged from tough T5056 aluminum and built to withstand heavy use. The multi-coated lenses feature Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Coating, providing optimum brightness, true color across the light spectrum and constant light transmission of 90 percent.

Purged using Argon gas, the Elite series scopes are 100 percent waterproof and fog proof. Benefits of Argon-purging include a lesser likelihood of dissipation from the scope body, due to the large atom size, and the gas doesn’t create chemical reactions that can result in the corrosion or degradation of seals. The handgun scope also features the patented RainGuard® HD lens coating, a permanent, water-repellant coating that causes moisture to bead up and scatter less light, allowing the scope to perform in inclement weather.

The Elite handgun scope is available in a 2-6x 32mm configuration with 20 inches of constant eye relief, making it ideal for handguns with heavy recoil. It is available in either matte black or silver with a suggested retail price of $299.99.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 19, 2011

Overland Park, KS. — Bushnell has established an annual award for members of the media to recognize excellence in optical journalism. The award will bear the name of long time outdoor writer Bill McRae, who is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgeable optics writers in the industry.

Bill has spent his career testing and writing about sport optics, as well as mentoring young writers and industry people, sharing his knowledge of not only optics, but journalism, photography and the outdoor world.

To further honor Bill, Bushnell has established an annual scholarship of $7500.00 at the University of California, Davis for students who will pursue careers in the optics field. UC Davis views the Bill McRae scholarship as precedent setting, because it will be the first corporate sponsored scholarship at this school named for an individual.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to recognize Bill for all he has contributed to the optics field and to the outdoor community”, said Blake Lipham, President and CEO of Bushnell Outdoor Products. “Bill’s honest and fair evaluations have helped us to continually refine our standards and build better quality optics for our consumers. It is with great pleasure that I am proud to announce the first Bushnell Bill McRae Annual Lifetime Achievement Award going to our friend, Bill McRae.”

Night Vision Optics – Bushnell Brings Color To Night Vision Optics

Overland Park, Kan.Bushnell night vision optics are popular for scouting and wildlife watching, allowing viewers see into the dark undetected, without spooking game. The only drawback for some people is that the image has a green hue and there is a lack of contrast, so images are not always sharp and depth perception is difficult.

The new 3×32 Digital Color NightVision monocular from Bushnell solves both problems. The new monocular uses a Color CCD Sensor and a digital color LCD screen to turn night into day. With some ambient light, color can easily be detected and in pitch black, stripes of an animal are detectable where previously not possible.

The unit features true 3x magnification with a field of view of approximately 70 feet and a range of nearly 300 feet.

The Bushnell Digital Color NightVision monocular works great not only for wildlife viewing, but for night fishing, camping, boating, caving, security and surveillance, search and rescue and nighttime navigation – any time you need to clearly see into the night without a flashlight.

The Bushnell Digital Color Night Vision monocular sells for a suggested retail price of $299.
