“Jesse James has a very unique and creative style to his artwork and products whether they’re motorcycles, cutlery or firearms.

Kyle Defoor Joins Russell Moccasin Co Prostaff

Thursday, April 27th, 2017

Berlin, WI – Defoor Proformance Shooting announced today that VP and head instructor Kyle Defoor has joined the prostaff at Russell Moccasin Co. Defoor Proformance Shooting is an industry leader in contracted military shooting and tactics instruction, training over one thousand DOD personnel each year. In addition DPS conducts civilian shooting courses monthly throughout the U.S.

“I would like to welcome Kyle Defoor to our prostaff at the Russell Moccasin Co. He will be a strong addition to our already talented group of Professional Hunters here at Russell Moccasin. He will help us field test our boots and shoes in the pro shooting industry and in his running and motorcycle adventures” said Suzanne Fabricius, VP of Sales and Marketing for Russell Moccasin.

Russell Moccasin Co. is an over 100 year old family run business that hand makes each shoe and boot in Berlin,Wisconsin to perfectly fit the customer. Russell Moccasin got its start in the booming logging industry pre 1900 and has since made footwear for everyone from U.S. Presidents, to Kings, Generals, Professional Hunters and Outdoorsman the world over.

“I am humbled and very excited about being on the Russell Moccasin Prostaff. I spend 300 days a year outside in every condition imaginable. Footwear is beyond important for me. Over the years I grew tired of constantly traveling with multiple pairs of shoes and boots to meet the needs of that trip. I also didn’t like the fact that most shoes and boots I wore wouldn’t last more than a year and couldn’t be resoled or recrafted. Russell Moccasin footwear is warm, dry, lightweight, rebuildable, breathes and they can have dual or triple use. Everyone that knows me and gear will be excited to see the products from Russell Moccasin that I’ll be highlighting on my social media while shooting, running, hunting and riding motorcycles.”

Leupold Adds to Thermal Optics Line with Handheld LTO-Quest

Thursday, April 27th, 2017

During SHOT Show, Leupold introduced the LTO-Tracker, a monocular-style, handheld thermal camera intended primarily for the hunting market. Due to its low cost and simple operation, it didn’t take long for LE professionals as well as search and rescue teams to show interest. During a recent writers event at the High Bar Homestad in Wyoming, I had the opportunity to check out the LTO-Tracker as well as the new LTO-Quest. While you employ the LTO-Tracker like a monocular, the LTO-Quest reminds me of the bug tracker feom ‘Aliens’. You point it at your objective and look down at a screen.

(The item on the screen is a suppressor)

I really like the temperature readout and the eight filters are easy to browse through in order to find the best contrast for the situation. I also appreciate the ability to collect screen captures. It’s a cool product and definitely worth checking out.

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc. introduces the latest in its line of Leupold® Thermal Optics, the LTO-Quest™.

This pocket-sized thermal optic helps hunters find downed game, track blood trails and increase situational awareness. The LTO-Quest provides a precise temperature reading of the object being scanned and displays it on the screen. In addition to showing heat sources, the LTO-Quest has a built-in flashlight and camera which allows you to capture and store as many as 2,000 images.

“Leupold works closely with hunters to develop products to help them be more effective in the field,” said Tim Lesser, vice president of product development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The LTO-Quest gives hunters a pocket-sized tool to help recover game that may otherwise have been lost.”

Cycle through the eight color filters using a simple three-button interface. An internal, rechargeable battery delivers four hours of run time, and uses a standard micro USB for charging and image downloads.

A built-in flashlight offers user-adjustable power settings that can be set to meet the needs of the hunter. With a maximum output of 300 lumens, the LTO-Quest provides plenty of power to help locate game or find paths to stands and blinds.

Featuring a generous 2.4″ LCD screen, the LTO-Quest provides a 20-degree field of view with a 300-yard detection range. The 15hz display offers smooth images and is easy to view in all lighting conditions.

Sized to fit in a pocket or small pouch, the LTO-Quest is a lightweight powerhouse that belongs in every hunter’s pack. In addition to afield, the LTO-Quest is a great tool for everything from keeping an eye on property, examining energy efficiency around the home, or checking mechanical equipment for heat issues.
