Some new products to check out!

When is it time to check out new products for the upcoming season? Now! Don’t wait until three days before the opener, for crying out loud.

As you know, we at Non Typical Hunter Inc. test new products for manufacturers of hunting equipment. I’ve decide to toss a few items out here for you to look over, since it’s all snowy and messy outside today. I’ve got 3 items that I want to bring to your attention here.

We’ve got some new targets from Magic Stop. Magic stop has some really nice stuff these days! Archery targets have come a long way these days. The more advanced targets are more complex than just foam shaped into a square, like a lot of other targets out there. There actualy is a degree of technology involved and Magic Stop uses every bit of it. They have a target for just about every type of target shooting you can imagine, from field point to broadheads and cross bows to compound and so forth. You can even order some with YOUR business name on them.

What I like about these targets is the fact that they make targets for speeds that exceed the 400 F/S mark, have targets with more shooting dots than any other bag (this lengthens the life of your bag and allows the shooter to practice with more options), have portable “Lite” bags, targets that allow you to pull your broadhead out with ease and their bags utilize a unique foam that allows lower poundage arrows to stick! If that wasn’t good enough, they have free shipping on all orders! Magic Stop is one of those companies that really does it right! They’re not just selling you a target but rather offering you a target that you can use for YOUR circumstances. Believe it or not, there is a ton of technology in these bags!

We tested some new products from Lakewood Products recently and we really like them. Lakewood makes some great gun and bow cases! Their lightweight and really strong. Each case is really thought out well regarding compact design and storage. Most of their cases have mini-storage compartments designed within the original case. Although these cases are light, they have been airline tested all of the way to Africa and back. Many of their cases are designed NOT to scratch your SUV or vehicles. Lakewood’s cases are quiet and are perfect for carrying your gun or bow with you through your favorite hunting spots. They all have foam padded compartments available that secure everything, including your arrows, releases, etc. The reason I like the Lakewood’s cases better than most is simply because these are really well thought out and are truly useful to today’s hunters.

Muzzy came out with a new version of their Phantom MX broadhead for 2010 . This new broadhead comes in 100 and 85 grain versions and is .40” thick! If anyone remembers, last year I inadvertently shot a metal ladder stand as I was shooting at a big buck while hunting from the ground, with a Muzzy 125 grain long version Phantom. If you saw the pictures, the Phantom went through 3/4” thick metal and didn’t break. These new Phantom’s are even stronger! They’re short and stout and have been tested by repeatedly being shot though metal barrels! Muzzy’s excited about these broadheads and I’m anxious to shoot them at some live targets! So far, everything I’ve shot them through has been destroyed by these broadheads. They held up good enough for me to take them hunting even after I’ve punished them over and over.

Like always, we never accept payment for reviewing new products! If we find a product that we don’t like, we usually never post the findings unless we feel the public is being ripped off! Occasionally, we’ll contact the manufacturer and share with them our recommendations. Most companies are eager to work with us and some are not. We also enjoy responses to hunters who have comments regarding any products that we’ve tested! Please feel free to share your experiences with us!

Scouting for 2010 has begun!

I’ve got these big boys semi-patterned for the 2010 season! One of them is a 200+” non typical and the another is a 170+” typical, both on the same farm! No high fences either! I can’t wait until September gets here. I’ve been watching these bucks for over a year in Kansas. It’s going to be a long seven months!

A new “Real men of genius” clip

Have you ever noticed when going to a new forum, (whether it be a hunting forum or any other type) the first time you make a post, there is always some person who rushes to the scene to let you know he’s been around the longest but he does it in a round about way? It’s like they want you to ask them permission, to post anything there. They question anything you post and feel intimidated by “new blood”. I thought of an idea: Let the people who do those “Real men of genius” radio clips create a new one called “Mr. forum administrator wanna be”. I think that would nail the mark!

If you don’t know which commercials I’m referring to, here’s an example: http://thefuntimesguide.com/audio/Bud_Light_Real_Men_of_Genius_Mr_King_of_the_Karaoke_Mic.mp3

Enjoy!
