Bushnell® Releases New Broadhead Laser Rangefinder

Bushnell® Releases New Broadhead Laser Rangefinder. New Precision Rangefinder Designed Specifically for Bowhunters

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – January 6, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, announces the Broadhead Laser Rangefinder. Meticulously engineered for industry-leading precision with 0.3-yard accuracy out to 150 yards, the Broadhead Laser Rangefinder is the perfect option for archers and bowhunters.

The Broadhead builds on the strengths of Bushnell’s most advanced rangefinders, and at its core is tailored around short-range accuracy for archers who need to know exact distances. The Broadhead’s 0.3-yard accuracy has been tested extensively on various color 3D targets and animal hides, and, combined with +/-1-degree angle accuracy, it leaves no doubt about a bowhunter’s precise range to target.

“The new Broadhead is the most accurate rangefinder I have ever tested,” said professional archer and world record holder Tim Gillingham. “Bushnell brought me in on the development of this model and I couldn’t be more excited to add it to my gear. The processor is super repeatable and the reticle is really clean no matter the lighting condition”

Beyond 150 yards, the Broadhead can range animals out to 500 yards, trees out to 800 yards, and has a max range of 1,500 yards on reflective targets with 1 yard accuracy.

With its high-definition, all-glass, fully multi-coated optical system with a 50% larger objective lens, the Broadhead is up to 2x brighter than similar rangefinders. This ensures bright, true-to-life colors for easier recognition of game and makes the Broadhead as effective at sunrise as it is at midday. Additionally, the built-in ACTIVSYNC™ display automatically changes from black in bright light to red in low-light conditions, so users can always see their readings.

The Broadhead comes equipped with Scan mode for constant ranges, as well as near/far target modes to allow users to hone in on targets while ignoring objects in the foreground and background. The rangefinder also comes equipped with ARC (Angle Range Compensation) technology, which accounts for terrain angle in the field and gives bowhunters the “real” effective range on challenging uphill and downhill shots.

The Broadhead rangefinder includes a built-in tripod mount and lanyard holes, so users have multiple setup options to keep the rangefinder secure and stable. A metal threaded battery door can be found on the bottom of the rangefinder and a CR2 battery is included so the Broadhead is ready right out of the box.

Backed by Bushnell’s 5-year Lifetime Ironclad warranty, the Broadhead rangefinder is engineered and manufactured to withstand the ultimate test of years of use in the field. To learn more about the Broadhead, or to see Bushnell’s full lineup of rangefinders and other optics, visit Bushnell.com.

Hornady Security RAPiD® Safe Shotgun Wall Lock for Homeowners

Posted on Friday, 7 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hornady Security RAPiD® Safe Shotgun Wall Lock for Homeowners

Grand Island, NE (January 6, 2022) – Hornady Security RAPiD Safe Shotgun Wall Lock is made of sturdy 14 ga steel and is designed to accommodate most home defense shotguns. These safes provide quick, safe and secure access when needed the most.

Like all Hornady Security RAPiD® Safes, the RAPiD Safe Shotgun Wall Lock uses patented RFID technology. Swiping an RFID-equipped wristband, key fob or decal over the safe’s sensor instantly opens its spring-assisted lid. If an RFID tag is not within easy reach, the safe also opens with its digital keypad or backup key. Programming a custom four to six-digit code lets users pick an easy-to-remember combination.

The shotgun wall lock uses heavy-duty 14-gauge steel construction and two internal hardened locking lugs – engineered to withstand a barrage of attacks, including prying, dropping, picking, sawing and targeted hinge attacks. The safe exceeds ASTM international safety standards for security and is certified child-resistant, making them an ideal choice for protecting a home defense shotgun from unauthorized users.

Pre-drilled mounting holes allow easy installation either horizontally or vertically, opening an array of possible in-home mounting spots. The safe’s slim profile fits behind doors, in closets, or inside cabinets. The shotgun wall lock conveniently holds most 12-gauge and 20-gauge side-eject shotguns; the open ejection port rests on a lug inside the safe while the barrel sits within an external muzzle ring, preventing tampering or prying the shotgun. Egg carton foam padding protects the shotgun’s receiver from scratches inside the safe.

Hornady Security specializes in innovative firearms security storage solutions; the RAPiD Safe Shotgun Wall Lock is one such product in the line. This shotgun-specific safe is ideal for the homeowner who wants a robust security solution and rapid access for a single shotgun.

RAPiD® Safe Shotgun Wall Lock Features:

· Exceeds ASTM International safety standards

· Fast and dependable touch-free entry

· Convenient keypad access

· Vertical or horizontal mounting options

· Heavy-duty, tamper-proof construction

· AC power with battery backup

· Includes: AC power supply, RFID wristband, two RFID stickers, RFID key fob, two circular barrel keys, muzzle ring

RAPiD® Safe Shotgun Wall Lock Specifications:

· Type: Fits most shotguns

· Material: 14-gauge steel with 2 internal hardened locking lugs.

· Lock: RFID, keypad or circular key

The Coveted Short-Barrel Colt Python is Back

Posted on Thursday, 6 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Coveted Short-Barrel Colt Python is Back

West Hartford, CT (Jan. 5, 2022) – Often dubbed the “finest production revolver ever made,” the Colt Python built a cult following among wheel gun enthusiasts. In 2020, Colt relaunched its famous Python revolver with two-barrel length options—a 4.25-inch and a 6-inch. And after more than a twenty-year production hiatus, this announcement was music to shooters’ ears. However, collectors still longed for the 3-inch model. Well, the wait is over – a production 3-inch Python is back in 2022!

Like all Colt Pythons, the 3-inch barreled version is chambered for the powerful .357 magnum and features a 6-round cylinder. Cosmetically, these new models look like the original revolvers. Its semi-bright stainless steel finished barrel and frame contrast with stunning walnut grips. The grip’s shape, deep checkering and inlaid golden Colt logo are reminiscent of the classic. Its ribbed top strap and full-length underlug are unchanged from the original.

Pythons are double- and single-action guns with a spurred hammer. The silky-smooth trigger pull on a Colt Python is second to none and is part of why these premium revolvers have such outstanding accuracy. Adding to its performance, the new Python includes more steel in the frame, so feeding the Python a steady diet of hot magnum loads is no problem!

A match-grade adjustable rear sight (windage and elevation) and interchangeable red-ramp front sight allow zeroing the revolver with any load from full-house .357 magnums to .38 special target loads.

Colt Pythons are always fun to shoot, but a peppy load in the 3-inch model promises to bring an even bigger smile to everyone’s face. The compact 3-inch model’s classic looks and modern enhancements ensure a lifetime of shooting pleasure. So, whether it’s for personal defense, enjoyment at the range or filling a gap in a firearms collection, the Colt Python 3-in is worth a closer look.

Colt Python 3-Inch Features:

· Stainless Steel Frame
· Walnut Grips
· Adjustable Rear Sight (windage and elevation)
· Interchangeable Red-Ramp front sight
· Double and Single Action Trigger
· Powerful .357 Mag cartridge
· 6-round capacity

New MDT Grips!

Posted on Thursday, 6 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Your needs have always been the driving force here at MDT. Initially, our emphasis was on chassis systems; however, after creating several unique designs, our engineers developed a suite of non-chassis products like scope bases, magazines, scope rings, rails, and grips.

Why grips? Initially, we offered the Hogue grip, which is a good piece of kit. Still, the desire to make grips tailored to precision rifle shooting motivated our engineers to develop and build something in-house with a clear focus on precision. Not only would developing our own grip allow us to control the supply chain and get products to you quicker, but it would also allow us to upgrade our models and adapt based on your feedback.

So what is the next chapter in The MDT Grip story? We recently launched wood, and carbon fiber versions of our MDT Pistol Grip Elite (seen below). And we are looking at new materials for lighter and more robust products. Our study of human anatomy and morphology is never-ending, and we will have a lot more to offer in the coming years, stay tuned!

Shooting Sports: New Year, New Gear

Kick 2022 off right with all-new Howard Leight hearing protection options that fit, perform, and look better than ever

CANTON, MA (January 5, 2022) – Welcome to 2022. Here’s to getting back to normal, chasing your passions, and doing all the things you love that bring excitement and joy to your life. Whatever those activities look like, they’ll require good hearing to experience fully. So, as a hunter or shooting sports enthusiast, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to practice safety on the range or in the field. That safety regimen includes protecting your hearing from the dangerous sounds produced by every pull of the trigger.

Far too many lifelong hunters and shooting sports participants have learned about hearing loss the hard way. If left unprotected, the delicate structures inside our ears can be repeatedly injured by gunfire. The damage is incremental – largely painless and happening over time – so most people don’t realize it’s taking place until it’s too late. Unfortunately, this includes people who think they are protecting their hearing, but are wearing hearing protection that doesn’t perform, often because it doesn’t fit correctly.

The good news is that such injuries are largely preventable through the consistent use of appropriate and properly fitted hearing protection.

Howard Leight has been making innovative and trusted hearing-protection products for shooting sports enthusiasts for over 40 years. The company has been awarded over 160 patents to date, nearly 40 more are pending, and the original thinking has never ceased.

All-new hearing protection choices to meet the specific and growing needs of an even wider range of shooting sports enthusiasts is the big story from Howard Leight in 2022. New product introductions include two exciting new ImpactTM Sport In-Ear electronic hearing protectors, seven new Impact Sport Bluetooth® electronic muffs, and an all-new Youth/Adult Small size in Impact Sport Bluetooth and Impact Sport Classic to provide an improved fit on many women, youth, and men with smaller heads. Howard Leight’s objective? Give hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts more options for quality, long-lasting hearing protection that fits, performs, and looks better than ever.

Two ALL-NEW Impact Sport In-Ear Models

NEW Howard LeightTM ImpactTM Sport In-Ear Hear-Through Protection with Amplification is designed for hunters and shooting sports participants who want comfortable, lightweight, high-NRR in-ear hearing protection that allows them to easily hear or amplify what’s going on around them. Featuring a 29dB NRR, Hear-Through volume control with 8 different volume override increments to optimize hearing in the field for up to 6X sound enhancement, Impact Sport In-Ear Hear-Through Protection with Amplification stops amplification when loud impulse sounds exceed 85dB when operated in the power-on/default setting. It’s powered by a rechargeable 200 mAh lithium battery that delivers up to 50 hours of run time on a full, two-hour charge. Three pairs of foam ear tips (small, medium and large) and flexible, moldable ear hooks provide a customized and secure fit on any wearer. A USB-C charging port, charging cable and compact carrying case complete the package. The new Howard Leight Impact Sport In-Ear Hear-Through with Amplification comes in a stealthy OD Green color and is an ideal option for hunters. MSRP is $120.

NEW Howard LeightTM ImpactTM Sport In-Ear Hear-Through Protection with Bluetooth® is designed for hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts who want comfortable, lightweight, high-NRR in-ear hearing protection that allows them to easily hear or amplify what’s going on around them with the additional advantages of Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for wireless audio streaming. Featuring a 29dB NRR, individual Bluetooth button with volume control and separate Hear-Through volume control, the device actively listens and automatically stops amplification when loud impulse sounds exceed 85dB. It’s powered by a rechargeable 200 mAh lithium battery that delivers up to 50 hours of run time on a full, two-hour charge. Three pairs of foam ear tips (small, medium and large) and flexible, moldable ear hooks provide a customized and secure fit on any wearer.

The new Howard Leight Impact Sport In-Ear Hear-Through with Bluetooth comes in black and is an ideal option for anyone who wants lightweight, high-NRR protection with the additional advantages of hear-through technology and Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio streaming. MSRP is $165.

Hunter/Shooter-Favorite Impact Sport Electronic Muffs with NEW Size, Color, and Bluetooth Options

The NEW Howard LeightTM ImpactTM Sport Bluetooth® electronic earmuff retains everything customers love about the popular Impact Sport Classic muff while offering new levels of performance and functionality via Bluetooth 5.0 Sync technology and faster, .05 millisecond sound-activated compression. NEW Impact Sport Bluetooth features a 21dB NRR, up to 4X amplification, 4-hour auto shutoff, separate volume controls for Bluetooth and ambient sound, and a new rechargeable Li-ion battery that can be recharged in two hours and offers up to 20 hours of operation per charge. It’s available in five exciting color choices and two sizes – including all-new Youth/Adult Small – to meet the distinct needs and preferences of an even wider range of shooting sports enthusiasts. A special Impact Sport Bluetooth Promo Pack consisting of one pair of Impact Sport Bluetooth muffs in a one-off Metallic Charcoal Gray color and a bonus set of gel ear cushions (NRR 19) is also available. In all, there are seven new Impact Sport Bluetooth models to choose from. MSRP is $149 – $159.

Don’t want or need Bluetooth connectivity? Women, youth, and men with smaller heads can now experience the advantages of proven and reliable Howard LeightTM ImpactTM Sport Classic features and performance with an all-new Youth/Adult Small size that delivers an improved fit on an even wider range of shooting sports enthusiasts. Featuring all the familiar and time-tested Impact Sport features like a 22dB NRR, extremely low-profile earcup design with cutouts, up to 4X amplification, sound-activated compression of noise over 82dB, AUX jack, premium padded headband, recessed stereo microphones, single control knob, and auto 4-hour shutoff, NEW Impact Sport Classic Youth/Adult Small is available in two colors – Metallic Charcoal Gray or Berry Pink.

Warthog Sharpeners Names Source Outdoor Group as Agency of Record

Warthog Sharpeners Names Source Outdoor Group as Agency of Record

Baton Rouge, LA (January 5, 2022)- Warthog Blade Sharpeners USA is excited to announce that they have partnered with Source Outdoor Group of Gainesville, Georgia, to be their marketing and communications agency. Source Outdoor Group will leverage its expertise in public relations, digital marketing, content placement and strategic marketing to maximize and grow Warthog’s brand presence in the outdoor sports and culinary markets.

Founded in George, South Africa, in 1999, Warthog Blade Sharpeners has been exporting the industry’s highest quality blade sharpeners to the U.S. for over ten years. The company was started with the simple aim of giving people the ability to sharpen their knives to a professional level without having to send them to an expert.

Before Warthog introduced their V-Sharp Extreme Edge™ system, consumers wanting to sharpen their blades were forced to choose between paying the high prices of expert blade-smiths or unknowingly ruining their blades with cheaper ill-conceived “instant” sharpeners. By creating a system that keeps the blade at a constant angle to the sharper, Warthog’s V-Sharp system has radically simplified the knife sharpening process while ensuring the blade’s integrity is maintained or, in many cases, enhanced.

From hunting knives to high-end chef knives, Warthog Knife Sharpeners has a simple, portable and high-performing system that will exceed your needs and expectations. From the tried and true V-sharp Classic for in-home use to the extremely portable-Sharp XE, Warthog sharpeners are a must-have for every household.

Warthog has grown into a trusted and preferred supplier by retailers and distributors in many international markets. Thanks to the support of their global customer base, they are extremely excited to work with Source Outdoor Group as they expand their presence in the U.S.

Located in Gainesville, Georgia, at the gateway to the Appalachian Mountains, Source Outdoor Group is a full-service marketing firm catering to a diverse client base of hunting, shooting, fishing and marine product manufacturers. Source Outdoor Media is recognized as an industry-leading public relations, communications and marketing firm that is known for leveraging its expertise in proven and innovative strategies used to successfully grow their client’s brands.

For over 20 years Warthog Blade Sharpeners has been manufacturing and exporting high quality diamond knife sharpeners. Warthog was established in 1999 with the goal of creating an innovative world-first knife sharpener that delivered better results than any competitor on the market. Treat your blades with the respect and care they deserve. We have conducted extensive research into various types of blade sharpeners and the results may shock you. Microscopic photos of edges show just how much damage traditional sharpeners can do.

Trulock™ Choke Tubes Acquires a Fanuc Robodrill Machining Center

Posted on Thursday, 6 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Trulock™ Choke Tubes Acquires a Fanuc Robodrill Machining Center

Trulock™ Choke Tubes is expanding operations in 2022 with the addition of a Fanuc Robodrill long bed 4 axis vertical machining center. This automated vertical machining unit is equipped with a true fourth axis and is dedicated to produce a specific firearm part for one of Trulock’s major firearm accounts.

“This Robodrill is extremely accurate and rapid, which allows us to increase our productivity while maintaining exacting quality standards,” shared George Trulock, president of Trulock™ Choke Tubes. “It offers a special design pallet fixture to facilitate fast changes with short cycle times.

Robodrill IMG_6806 _2_.jpg

Trulock™ designs, builds and tests all their choke tubes at their facility in Whigham, Georgia, using state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing, now including this new Robodrill unit. That process has allowed them to develop chokes with special exit diameters that produce dense, hard-hitting patterns.

In fact, Trulock™ offers the best guarantee in the business: your money back if you’re not satisfied, and a lifetime guarantee against failure as long as you own the choke.

To learn more about choke tubes, shotgun patterning, and how to get the best choke for your hunting needs, check out Trulock’s home page at www.trulockchokes.com

About Trulock™ Choke Tubes

George Trulock began manufacturing chokes in 1981 to solve the dilemma of creating a choke system that could be retrofitted into most shotgun barrels without the use of an adaptor or machine tools. His final design launched The Tru-Choke style choke tube in 1982. Since then, this proprietary system has been adopted by several shotgun manufacturers as O.E.M. and copied by a number of aftermarket choke makers. Trulock™ chokes now stocks approximately 2,000 different choke part numbers and has come a long way from George’s first piece of production equipment, a Warner and Swasey # 2 turret lathe.

Trulock™ Chokes has grown from a one-man show to a company that employs 30 people producing products 24 hours a day, 5 days per week. Trulock™ Chokes is still a family-owned business with George’s sons, Scott and Jerrod, a vital part of the management team.

Trulock™ Chokes has three goals: to make the best product, to give the best customer service and to have 100 percent customer satisfaction. In the event a customer is not completely satisfied with their purchase, they can return it for a refund or exchange within 60 days from the date of purchase.

New for 2022, Hunters Find Ultimate Cold-Weather Hunting Gear in Nomad’s Conifer NXT Series

Charleston, SC (Jan 5, 2022) – Late season hunts usher in frigid temperatures and often the hottest deer activity of the season. Savvy hunters know that, with the exception of the rut, nothing brings out mature bucks in daylight like freezing temperatures. Deer must feed to supply the necessary energy to stay warm. Thankfully, Nomad’s Conifer NXT Line is designed specifically for these moments.

The Nomad Conifer NXT Jacket and Bibs provide maximum protection and superior huntability in harsh winter conditions. Boasting a whopping 35K waterproofness and 15K breathability rating in their windproof shells, the jacket and bibs feature three unique layers that keep cold winds, rain and snow out while allowing sweat and condensation to dissipate through the shell. The jacket and bibs utilize sound-limiting fabrics that make them virtually silent, while their generous cut makes for easy layering. The Conifer NXT Jacket and Bibs feature stain-resistant fabrics so that stains can be easily washed out.

The Conifer NXT Jacket is a must for any late-season hunter. The jacket includes PrimaLoft® insulation in the outer shell, with 100g in the body and 80g in the sleeves for a proportional distribution of heat. Additionally, the jacket sports a three-piece hood with adjustments for added warmth and comfort. Strategically located, sherpa-lined hand-warmer pockets are a nice touch on a cold day. Two waterproof zip chest pockets provide a dry place for a wallet, phone, hunting license and other valuables. Additional waterproof cargo pockets are ideal for keeping necessities within reach. The jacket also features a rear port to allow for a safety harness under the jacket.

Built on a solid, windproof, waterproof and breathable outer shell, Nomad’s Conifer NXT Bibs offer hunters excellent protection and a strategic advantage for late-season hunts. The bibs sport 100g of PrimaLoft® insulation yet provide plenty of room for layering. Adjustable suspender straps and waist, as well as a four-way stretch cross gusset, provide a custom fit. The bibs feature two fleece-lined cargo pockets, and a zippered chest pocket are conveniently placed for gear storage. Zip-to-hip leg zippers allow hunters to slip into these bibs even with boots on.

The Conifer NXT jacket and bibs feature Mossy’s Oak Hybrid Droptine camouflage pattern exclusive to Nomad. The pattern offers exceptional depth with sharp-edged contrast and will work well for whitetails from the east coast to west coast.

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at SHOT Show

Posted on Wednesday, 5 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at SHOT Show

Columbus, Miss. (January 4, 2022) – APEX Ammunition, makers of handloaded, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, will showcase its ammunition offerings at the 2022 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 18-21 (Booth # 71104).

APEX pioneered the commercial use of 18.1 g/cc density TSS in 2017, and today offers a comprehensive line of shotshells for Waterfowl, Upland, and Predator and Deer hunting, in addition to its renowned Turkey TSS loads.

Waterfowl

APEX offers a variety of waterfowl loads to meet the needs of discerning hunters who value superior performance and craftsmanship. Waterfowl TSS shotshells are meticulously handloaded for ultimate knockdown power. The TSS/S3 Steel™ Blend duplex loads feature No. 7.5 or 9 TSS combined with No. 2, 4 or BB S3 Steel shot in 12-gauge and No. 4 shot in 20 gauge. The APEX S3 Steel™ line features premium-grade zinc-coated steel and the same Tungsten-grade wad system used in the APEX TSS loads for superior patterning and consistency.

28-gauge, 16-gauge, and 410 bore waterfowl loads are available upon request.

Upland

Whether you are hunting grouse or Huns out West, quail in the South, or late-season roosters across the Great Plains, APEX Upland Bird TSS helps you put more birds in hand. Available in 3-inch 12-and 20-gauge loads.

Upland Bird 3-inch 16-gauge, 2 ¾-inch 28-gauge, and .410 bore 2 ½ and 3-inch loads are available upon request.

Predator

Shotshells for predator hunting typically meant low pattern count and massive lead pellets leading to limited performance. APEX Predator TSS, offered in shot sizes 4, 2 and BB, capitalizes on superior density to deliver extended range and penetration while maximizing pattern retention for ultimate knockdown power on coyotes, hogs and deer.

Turkey

APEX’s legendary Turkey TSS offerings bring a new level of performance to sub-gauge shotguns. Now available in 20-gauge No. 9s, 28-gauge (No. 9 and 9 ½) and .410 bore (No. 9 ½), APEX Turkey TSS shotshells are designed for maximum penetration at extended ranges. Handloaded for ultimate consistency and quality control, APEX TSS allows the use of smaller shot sizes and larger payloads for maximum pattern density and downrange energy. Also available in 10-gauge, 12-gauge and 16-gauge loads.

APEX also offers Smalltown Hunting Blend loads which feature a combination of No. 7 1/2 and No. 9 shot TSS as well as Ninja Turkey TSS loads.

The 2022 APEX Ammunition Catalog is now available online at ApexAmmunition.com.

About APEX Ammunition

Hornady Security RAPiD® Safe AR Gunlocker™ – Provides Quick Access for Tactical Long Guns

Grand Island, NE (January 4, 2022) – In a vehicle or at home, Hornady Security’s RAPiD® Safe AR Gunlocker delivers ready access and tamper-proof security for tactical rifles and shotguns.

A programmable digital keypad and mechanical key offer additional entry methods. An AC-powered lock with battery backup provides 24/7 protection and rapid access. Programming other Hornady RFID safes add the convenience of opening multiple safes with the same tags.

The AR Gunlocker uses 16-gauge heavy-duty steel construction and four hardened locking lugs, engineered to withstand a barrage of attacks, including prying, dropping, picking, sawing and targeted hinge attacks.

New for 2022, Nomad Brings Hunters the Ultimate Combination of Stealth & Comfort With its Cottonwood NXT Camo Fleece Apparel

Posted on Wednesday, 5 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

New for 2022, Nomad Brings Hunters the Ultimate Combination of Stealth & Comfort With its Cottonwood NXT Camo Fleece Apparel

Charleston, SC (Jan 4, 2022) – Fleece is a marvel of modern outdoor clothing technology and the first piece of gear every hunter grabs when there’s a chill in the air. The product development team at Nomad has taken this time-tested fabric and crafted some of the most effective whitetail hunting systems on the market. Nomad’s new Cottonwood NXT Collection is loaded with features to keep hunters covered from head to foot in warm, silent, and camouflaged fleece.

The Cottonwood NXT Collection consists of a jacket, pants, cap and flip mitts. The secret behind Nomad’s Cottonwood NXT Berber fleece is the utilization of super-long fibers that trap air, making hunters warmer and more comfortable – longer. All garments in the Cottonwood line provide excellent protection from the cold through a wind-blocking, sherpa-lined membrane. Not only does the Cottonwood NXT Collection provide unbeatable protection against the bitter cold, but they give hunters the edge with close encounters with their quarry. Both the jacket and pants utilize sound-limiting fabrics that reduce unwanted noise. Hunters will also appreciate the stain-resistant fabrics that repel the nastiest of stains.

Thoughtfully built with hardcore whitetail hunters in mind, the Cottonwood NXT jacket is not only comfortable but provides strategically placed pockets for storing essential gear. Combining a 4-way stretch fabric, contoured full-length zipper, and 4-way gusseted underarm panels offer an exceptional range of motion so that climbing in and out of lock-on stands is a breeze. Hunters will appreciate the 3-piece adjustable drop hood and sherpa-lined zippered pouch to help keep ears and fingers toasty in the howling winds and frigid temps. Two zippered front pockets provide access to precious gear such as cell phones, snacks and calls. A separate rangefinder pocket provides hunters instant access to a rangefinder when the moment of truth comes. The jacket also features a safety harness port for added convenience.

Early morning treks through moonlit woods and heavy frost require special outerwear. For all-day during the rut, Nomad’s Cottonwood pants help hunters stay quiet and warm. The pants feature Nomad’s Ever-Adjust waistband, removable suspenders, and a high-back waist, so they stay in place, keeping out cold air. The Cottonwood pants employ Nomad’s crescent-cuff design on the legs. This unique feature prevents the heel of a boot from catching on the rim of the pants. Zippered leg openings help the pants glide over the boots during the on/off process. The Cottonwood NXT Pants provide ample pocketing for gear storage. The pants feature sherpa-lined hand-warmer pockets as well as cargo pockets to provide even more space for knives, phones or calls.

The men’s Harvester Cottonwood NXT Collection is available in either Mossy Oak® Hybrid Droptine and Realtree Edge. Exclusive to Nomad, Mossy Oak’s new Hybrid Droptine is an entirely new way of looking at camouflage design. Combining natural elements into an abstract matrix, the resulting pattern’s color and contrast blend seamlessly into the fall woods.

Nomad engineered Cottonwood NXT to keep you comfy, quiet, and hidden in the woods on chilly fall days. Check out the deadly features on our Cottonwood NXT line.
