  • Slash Arrows – Plano Synergy Ameristep – Vortex

    Slash Arrows –

    With a SLASH® INsetBlade® Arrow, the 60-grain broadhead with the EXP and the 75-grain broadhead with the MAG, the tip of the arrow enters first, cutting a leading path of destruction. A few inches behind, once the arrow shaft enters, two expandable INsetBlade® Deployable Blades deploy. The INsetBlade® Deployable Blades are aligned so that new tissue is being cut.The total amount of cutting is far greater than any other broadhead and arrow system.

    Plano Synergy –

    We believe outdoor experiences build character, inspire action, and enrich lives. We believe growth happens when you actively explore opportunities and take on new challenges. We believe discovering and meeting the needs of our consumers, customers, and colleagues is the only way to lead the industry. We believe that fear of failure is the surest way to find it. We believe in a base camp mentality where our best is achieved by encouraging and pushing each other to accomplish our mission.

    Ameristep –

    Hunting success begins with the element of surprise. That’s what Ameristep® has been giving hunters for over twenty years ground blinds and accessories that cleverly conceal positions from up above and down below. Ameristep is proud to be an innovator in the industry, continually seeking new solutions to help hunters disappear. That disappearing act is only part of the story though. Versatile mobility in all our product designs lets you choose the location that’s right, not the location that’s convenient. Once you’re there, simplified assemblies mean you can set up quickly and capitalize on the moment. Additional key features eliminate elements like scent, noise, and reflection to make sure you stay hidden. You’ll have the element of surprise locked in as long as you’re in an Ameristep blind.

  • Iron Will Broadheads – AccuBow – Excalibur Crossbow

    Iron Will Broadheads –

    It all started with family for Bill Vanderheyden, our Co-Founder and Lead Engineer. His grandfather and father had long been telling of the adventure to be found from within the Wisconsin woodland. Many deer and intriguing stories had come home from those adventures. Then, at age fifteen, he stepped into the chronicles by taking his first buck and was forever hooked.
    We watch the morning sky’s eastern light erase the nighttime stars. We earnestly listen for the deep bass of dead branches cracking on the forest floor. Our hearts accelerate and smile from the pungent odor of our nearby quarry. Our off-season is spent reminiscing about past hunts, refining our skills for next season, and anticipating the trophies to come. Our passion for becoming better hunters drove us to engineer the ideal broadhead, a premium broadhead as reliable as science allows.

  • .30-06 Outdoors – Scent Kapture – Yeti

    3006 –

    .30-06 Outdoors was formed in 2007 by company owner and founder Matt Minshall. After twenty plus years in the retail end of the industry at his family’s archery and fishing store, Matt was ready to try something different. Not wanting to leave the outdoor industry that he knew so well, he decided on the manufacturing side of the industry. Matt sold his beloved fishing boat and some of his musical equipment to raise some start up capital. He then cleaned out his garage and stocked it with the first round of product. As we all know, 2008 was the beginning of one of the worst economic times this country has ever seen, but .30-06 Outdoors managed to survive through it and grow. In 2011, .30-06 Outdoors moved into a 5000-square foot office/ warehouse space. After three more expansions, more room was still needed. In 2014, Matt was blessed enough to purchase the entire 47,000-square foot building that was previously rented. .30-06 Outdoors now has product placement in ten countries on three continents.

    Scent Kapture –

    Scent Kapture started as an innocent conversation at our family Christmas. My two brothers and I were telling stories about pheasant hunting trips in below freezing temperatures and fishing trips that we took with our dad. The three of us began brainstorming business ideas revolving around our passion to hunt and fish. I have been working in the “liquids” business with cosmetology products in the professional beauty industry for fifteen years, and I started researching new technology in scent elimination liquids. After extensive research, we found a proprietary blend of ingredients that encapsulates and eliminates odors on contact, and we began testing formulas immediately. After much testing with feedback from other professionals and experienced hunters, we have refined the formulas to be one of the top competing and best working products in the outdoor sports industry. Our formulas were all professionally formulated from scratch – with the hunter in mind.

    Yeti –

    In 2006, YETI Coolers was founded with a simple mission: build the cooler you’d use every day if it existed. Growing up, my brother and I always had a passion for the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, traveling to outdoor industry trade shows with our teacher-turned-entrepreneur-father. We were raised with an appreciation for wild game, unfamiliar territory, and high-quality gear.

    But the coolers available at the time just weren’t up to our outdoor adventures – the handles would break, the latches would snap off, and the lids would cave in. Not only was it a hassle to replace our coolers after each season, but also these cheaply built, ordinary ice chests were limiting our good times. That frustration led us to a solution.

  • DirtNap Gear – Burris Optics

    DirtNap Gear –

    The idea of DirtNap Gear came about as I sat watching another one of my wife’s reality shows and dreaming of the Outdoor Channel. With my passion and love of the outdoors and bowhunting I realized it was time to develop a line of broadheads that performed to the highest standards.
    I designed the DirtNap Gear line with one thought in my mind – penetration and
    durability. I am confident that our broadheads will fit all the needs of a
    seasoned pro or a beginning archer. They are built solid and sharp and have
    been tested in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, South America and North America
    with outstanding results. Penetration, blood trails, and durability are truly
    the characteristics of our product.

    Burris Optics –

    Burris Optics is located in Greeley, CO and since 1971 has been the
    leader in optics innovation. Their customer service and legendary forever
    warranty is second to none. For the last decade, Burris has been perfecting
    their Eliminator laser rangefinding, ballistic-calculating rifle scope and,
    most recently, put that technology into the Oracle range-finding, trajectory-calculating, angle-compensating bow sight.

  • Big Buck Down – Allen Bullman – Slate Media Group

    This story is one that could not even be dreamed up. The was filming Matt from The Game for their show. After his deer came in we were sure he had put a great shot on that deer. As we are talking he looks behind me an sees another deer in the corn field. After getting the green light from Chip I had to self-film and shoot Matt’s bow which is left handed. He then said you might want to wait on the 2nd deer that he was a bigger one. The first deer almost winded us and turned back to the corn and the big boy started walk our way. As he steps out of the corn, I draw and he stops I was at full draw for 2 mins and had to bend down to make the shot at 25 yards he only ran about 75yards before pilling up. And with the help of On Track we found Matt’s deer that created an epic hunt.

  • 554 Discover Jeanette Hall Unleashed

    Hunting isn’t just killing. You have to know the proper steps in hunting and care for the game, care for the meat, and have a lot of respect for the hunt. Jeanette Hall is a passionate hunter and a budding author. Growing up in the middle Tennessee out by a little tiny place called Brush Creek, Jeanette was taught to show respect for the hunt and would always be found in the creek fishing or turning over rocks looking for snakes and crawdads. She says a big component of hunting is not just going out there and shooting something, but having an adventure and enjoying what’s out there. Jeanette shares how she got into hunting, and talks about respecting the hunt and the harvest, the medical benefits of the animals we take, and going organic. She also dishes out some valuable tips on hunting and on setting hunting goals.
