>Fear and Loathing in Kansas with Turkeys and Bushnell
May 4, 2010
A friend of mine I’ll call Mark the Turkey Hunter was invited to Kansas with Bushnell to shoot turkeys in the face. A few items from OpticsPlanet went with him. For binoculars he used the Bushnell Chuck Adams Bowhunter edition. These small and reasonably priced glasses were the perfect size and weight for turkey hunting, but Mark later opted to use a binocular with much better performance, the superb Elite 10x42s. Bigger and heavier with more magnification, but he seemed to prefer them over the handier Bowhunters. Anything that Bushnell makes and labels, “Elite“, you

5.11 Tactical Pants, Beer, and Qatari Diplomat Humor
April 16, 2010
Warning: Do not use the thigh pockets in 5.11 Tactical pants for holding beer cans while walking. They fit well, but the beer gets shaken up too much to open. Don’t ask me how I know. My dog thought it was funny and has a Pavlovian taste for beer like I do.
Did you hear about the Qatari jackass that joked about lighting his shoe on fire on an airplane? Funny, huh. Scrambling a couple of fighter jets and having taxpayers pay for it is funny, too. I have an idea. Since this ass has such a sense of humor,

>Rad’s Last Point and Binoculars 101
April 9, 2010
My Shirley and I were perusing the estate this week after work. Rad was doing laps and peeing on things when Shirley said, “LOOK!” The dog was locked up like a statue. He hadn’t pointed a bird since he was retired a few years ago. Locked up solid. A cock pheasant was strutting his stuff outside our fence and neither animal could see each other. My Shirley was beside herself. Although My Shirley has been in the bird fields with us a couple times, she never really saw Rad on point. It took 14 years for her to see such

>ATN PS-40 and Chuck the Vet’s Meat
April 1, 2010
Continued from the previous blog: The ATN PS-40 comes in a great SKB hard case with all accessories and tools needed to mount the scope to a pic rail. The BAM mount is separate. The IR illuminator is included, and gives you the opportunity to use the device in complete darkness. Just this morning I spoke again to the person I plan to use it with for coyotes, and we’re trying to button the trip down a little tighter.
My friend Chuck the Vet was over the other day for some gun stuff. He just got a couple of new

>ATN PS-40 Generation 4 Night Vision Device with BAM mount on EGW HD Base on Savage 10 FCP McMillan .308 Winchester
March 26, 2010My Savage 10 FCP McMillan has a new top end on it. It’s the ATN PS-40. After decades of professional gunstuff employment, I’m a bit jaded, and not too many items excite me extraordinarily. This unit definitely does. It’s the big brother of the excellent ATN PS-22, with a larger objective lens and commensurate performance. I have to return it, but I’ll get a chance this year to beat the heck out of it in the field, and a tentative hunting trip is already planned for song dogs and night time testing. OpticsPlanet.com will be offering them soon.
