Improve your Bowhunting Range and Accuracy with the Nikon Bolt XR

Aug 17 • News • 3617

Like any hunter, bowhunters are always looking for an advantage in the field, but the added challenge of bowhunting makes quality equipment that much more important. You need to be a lot closer when hunting with a crossbow, and the conditions affect your shot more than when firing bullets.

So what is your best chance at increasing accuracy in the field? I’d suggest the Nikon Bolt XR 3X32 Crossbow Riflescope. If you see great game at 60 yards and you want to hit it consistently, you’ll need the Bolt XR Crossbow Scope. The fully multi-coated optics deliver an incredibly bright image with a wide field of view, and at 20 yards the site is parallax-free. Don’t worry about scaring off game with a reflection, because like Nikon riflescopes, the Bolt XR has anti-reflective compounds coated on the outer lenses to ensure you stay inconspicuous.

Because of Nikon’s Spot On Ballistic Match technology the Bolt XR is compatible with almost any crossbow, and the lightweight design means you won’t tire from carrying too much extra weight on your next bowhunting expedition.

While many riflescopes feature great versatility in the field, crossbow scopes tend to be lacking for field adjustments. Not so with the Nikon Bolt XR. The zero-reset turrets give you the ability to sight in at 20 yards, then lift the spring loaded adjustment knob, rotate to your zero and continue hunting. All you need to do in the field is dial in your range.

There are far too few good long distance crossbow scopes, but Nikon has produced a truly exceptional option with the 3×32 Bolt XR Crossbow Scope. Make sure to equip yourself with some Nikon Archery Equipment before your next hunting trip. You’ll be glad you did.

Surefire Tactical Pens will give you a portable Tactical Edge

Aug 12 • News • 3925

I know most of you, when you think of Surefire, think of their amazing flashlights. There’s good reason for that. Surefire flashlights are some of the best on the market, and they’re used by police and military officials throughout the world. Any time I see that a product we carry is used by professionals whose lives are on the line I know it has unreal performance.

But Surefire is about more than just flashlights. They also produce a number of pens that possess the same unbeatable quality as their flashlights. These tactical pens are tough, and when I say tough I mean really tough.

Take the original Surefire Pen. The body is made from aerospace-grade aluminum with a Mil-Spec Type III anodized finish. The tail cap has a rounded window breaker for emergencies, and the smooth edge won’t get caught on clothing. Combine that performance with a stylish look and you have one of the best pens on the market today.

It’s always good to have extra options available in an emergency. In a car accident you might find the door blocked. If you or someone nearby is hurt you’re going to need a quick way out of the car. I carry a pen with me at all times. I bet most of you do too. I suggest carrying a tactical pen that can get you out of a jam (literally).

A cheap plastic pen might suffice most of the time, but it’s nice to have something close at hand to break through a window, especially in life and death situations. Take a look at the tactical pens by Surefire. All the amazing quality from their flashlights is found in these pens, and you’ll have that extra tool for window breaking or self defense.

As their products are designed for use in life and death situations, Brite Strike uses the latest technology and best materials for extreme durability and consistent performance.

A recent addition from Brite Strike to our stores is the Brite Strike PIISA Perimeter Infrared Intruder Security Alert System. The perimeter alarm was designed for use on modern battlefields, where soldiers must defend themselves from multiple angles from multiple types of threats. The Brite Strike Perimeter Alarm features a 135 decibel alarm and strobing infrared light to disorient intruders without causing injury. The disorientation intruders experience gives soldiers extra time to evaluate the level of threat, which is crucial in situations where a civilian may wander into the line of fire.

The Brite Strike PIISA is low cost but effective, and it can be set up quickly and quietly, which is extremely important for most military operations. The alarm acts as a force multiplier, enhancing the effectiveness of a military unit by allowing soldiers to focus on other tasks while the perimeter is covered.

For a Great Entry-Level Telescope, Upstart Astronomers turn to Meade’s StarNavigator

Jul 19 • News • 3278

Getting into astronomy can be tricky because of a couple of factors working against amateur astronomers. The main two are cost and knowledge. Outside of identifying a few constellations, it’s hard to enjoy astronomy without a telescope. While there are telescope options for every budget, it’s important to select one that gives you the performance you’ll need for at least a few years. Most astronomers upgrade to higher level optics as their abilities advance, but if their first telescope gives poor performance it can be so discouraging that they give up.

Knowledge also works against the amateur astronomer. There is only so much you can learn from books. At a certain point you’re going to need to search the night sky and find what you’ve studied. A big part of astronomy is learning how to find objects in the sky, and without training this can be very difficult.

Fortunately, Meade has come out with the StarNavigator series of telescopes, which provide not only a fantastic scope, but also a wealth of information to aid the amateur astronomer. Both the Meade StarNavigator 114mm AudioStar Reflector and the Meade StarNavigator 102 Refractor Telescope come with AudioStar technology, which automatically controls the

telescope to help find and track celestial objects. This computerized system has over 30,000 objects cataloged for discovery! Both StarNavigator telescopes also include Astronomer Inside, which features over 500 audio files containing 4 hours of content. So as you look for a particular planet, galaxy or comet you can listen to useful information on what you’re seeing. Astronomy Inside also has a guided tour function that takes into account the time, date and location to give users info on what objects are most visible at that time of the year.

All of this information comes with the telescopes, which have a 102mm aperture, 800mm focal length, and either 4″ or 4.5″ refractor depending on the model you choose. And because the StarNavigator is made by Meade, they give you a great value for your money.

Take a look at Meade’s StarNavigator telescopes for a cost efficient, high value way to get started in astronomy.
