When the weather turns sour, you need something to hide you from more than the deer. The Ameristep Pro Series Thermal Blind helps hunters stay protected from the weather's worst, while still retaining enough interior room for their gear. The blind's five-hub, pentagon design creates an asymmetrical shape that offers plenty of room for bulky clothing, gear, and more. This shape also helps break up the outline of the blind, making it less threatening to game animals, while Mossy Oak Elements Terra camouflage blends into most any setting.

The blind has a 59X59X30-inch footprint, an 84-inch shooting width, and a height of 70 inches. Heavy-duty 300D quilted fabric adds insulated protection on every exposed surface, including roof, walls and windows, providing extra warmth for all-day, cold weather sits. Twelve silent-slide windows/mesh—eight triangular and four vertical—offer ample room to maneuver while Black ShadowGuard coating eliminates shadows and silhouettes, helping mask hunters' movements in the blind. Finally, the easy-access walk-through door is both quiet to operate and large enough for smooth access. 

For more information on this cold-weather blind, which comes with a carry bag, ground stakes, and tie-down cord. ameristep.com; MSRP: $349.99

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
