ASAT Quickie Blind – By: Tammie Schreiber
The day I received the ASAT ground blind, I couldn’t wait to get it set up to try out. Everything I’ve ever read about ground blinds says that you need to set them up and leave them for several days, even a few weeks before you hunt out of them. The “experts” say that by setting it up beforehand the animals get used to the blind being there. Well, I didn’t follow that rule. Darrell…
H3O Polarized Glasses – By: Tammie and Darrell Schreiber
Trolling the shallows you suddenly see a large black shadow. Is it a large mouth? Is is a musky? Is it a log? Or is it a big beautiful carp? If you had you H3O glasses on, you’d know! We’ve been wearing H3O’s since one of the first pairs came out and wouldn’t even think about wearing any other brand while bowfishing. They come with a case, cleaning cloth, and 3 sets of lenses; dark…

I always seem to be drawn to the optics section, thinking that binoculars and spotting scopes would be the thing to have if money was no object. I never thought it…

The tool is meant to be used to strip old feathers, vanes, wraps, and cresting paint of your arrows. The key is that it does the job quickly without damaging the arrow – regardless of arrow type.

Advanced Bowstrings – By: Keith Riehn
As I walked by the Advanced Bowstrings booth at the Missouri Deer Classic this past winter, I couldn’t help but notice the variety of colors and combinations they had on display. I stopped to take a look and was greeted by Jeff Rollings, the owner. As we talked about the strings and the process in which they are made, I realized immediately that Jeff took great pride in producing a quality string.…
