2013 has been very exciting at Swarovski * The great value and performance the new STS/ATS HD scopes are priced at. * New revolutionary design and performance of the ATX/STX system. * The new TLS APO / DCB II adaptors for digiscoping * Their very popular EL RANGE is now ready to ship and in stock! All systems are go and they are delivering some great optics that are cutting edge in quality, performance and style. It's been frantically busy and exciting so far this year with Swarovski The rerelease of the STS/ATS HD scopes ( ATS-65 HD, STS-65 HD, ATS-80 HD, & STS-80 HD ) at new lower pricing has created renewed interest in these wonderful scopes. Many folks have been grabbing them with a demo eyepiece and getting an ever greater deal that way. The reviews of these scopes has been tremendous and if you have been following forum threads on Swarovski Customer Service you know that they have a wonderful reputation. When you buy a Swarovski optic you are also buying their customer service. They are always there to assist you whether you have a situation or are just looking for advice, their customer service reps are always able to assist you. With the addition to the industry of the new Swarovski Modular Spotting scope System available with your choice of 65mm, 85mm & 95mm tubes and ATX Angled Eyepiece or STX Straight Eyepiece ATX / STX 25-60x65 The compact traveller Anyone who enjoys travelling or long days in the field needs a spotting scope that is compact and light. This spotting scope is perfect for anyone looking for outstanding optical performance, a large field of view and impressive close-range focusing, even with a relatively small 65-mm objective lens diameter. ATX / STX 25-60x85 The powerful all-rounder This spotting scope can do it all. No matter whether it’s taken on your travels or if you’re spending all day in the reed beds, with the 85-mm spotting scope you are well equipped for every situation. This is the best choice for anyone wanting to travel light and who also appreciates outstanding quality. Its light transmission, zoom range and close focus (3.6 m/11.8 ft) make it the perfect digiscoping tool. ATX / STX 30-70x95 The perfect frontiersman There’s never been anything like it: a spotting scope with such outstanding detail resolution and up to 70x magnification. This even pushes optical tests to their limits. Despite the 95-mm objective lens, this is a slim spotting scope weighing in at just 2 kilograms (75 oz). In a nutshell, it ticks all the boxes for any birder wanting to discover an albatross gliding past an oceanic headland. Please click here for a video and some detail No Spotting Scope detail would be complete without taking a look at Digiscoping (Photography using your spotting scope) Lot's of people hear the term "Digiscope" and immediately panic. Now there is no longer a reason for that. Please take a look at these basic Digiscoping combinations. When using the Swarovski TLS APO for ATS/STS/ATM/STM (Part#49311) or Swarovski DCB II for ATS/STS/ATM/STM (Part#49211) digiscoping is a breeze. Here is a link to the Swarovski Camera Adapter page as well as their Swarovski Digiscoping page each of which makes this wonderful extended use of your spotting scope come to life in an easy fashion. To make it even easier here is a link to the Swarovski You Tube Digiscoping Videos page. Moving right along let's touch on the EL RANGE which is now ready to ship and in stock (finally)! This unit has been on allocation and near impossible to have ready to ship since it's release over a year ago. Swarovski has finally gotten production to meet demand (no small task BTW). The EL Range redefines hunting equipment. A single instrument combines the capability of razor-sharp, top-quality optics with precise measuring. Highest transmission values, low weight, and the widest field of view in its class literally set new standards for optics and precise measuring. Available in an EL Range 8x42 as well as an EL Range 10x42 Please take a look at this Extensive EL Range page from the Swarovski site to get all the detail as well as a great video. As a Swarovski Authorized Dealer we also have access to an array of Swarovski Demo & Sample Product which is a nice way to save a few $$$ when purchasing your Swarovski Optic. It is our pleasure to answer any questions you may have so please feel free to contact us @ 212-753-5128.

Hey folks, Just a heads up, we received a bunch of shipments lately from most of the mfg's we represent. Here are links to the various demo pages: Brunton Spring Opportunity Sale Burris Leica Meopta Minox Nikon Pentax Steiner Swarovski Zeiss Zen-Ray As a general rule there are no Vortex demos, however, at the beginning of the year we posted the following and I have edited down the list to show what is still available. Some riflescopes posted on this list are scopes that were shipped out and returned for various reasons (wrong reticle, changed mind, wanted a different power, etc) but they have not been mounted. Please feel free to call Neil or Doug @ 212-753-5128 with any questions or to purchase one of these Vortex items. Vortex Display/Demo Product Sale We are cleared out our 2012 display case in order to freshen it up for the new year. Every year we put new goods on display and sell off the existing display. These products are never out in the field as they are from our in store showcases and only handled gently here in the store. We have all the original boxes and accessory items that come with them and all are covered by the Vortex VIP warranty. These demo/display opportunities will not be on our web site as we only have one and in some cases two of each item and we feel they will sell quicker than our web builder would be able to update our site.

We are running a very exciting Brunton Sports Optics Spring Buying Opportunity Sale on their Eterna Binoculars and Riflescopes. This will give you the opportunity to purchase a fantastic Brunton optic at a reduced price. What's more we are going to continue with the "Buy it - Try it - Love it or Return it" guarantee. If you buy one of these Brunton Eterna Optics and you are not happy with the purchase we will take it back for a full refund for up to 2 months from the time you purchased it. That is how sure we are that you'll love these products. As I have mentioned in a few prior posts I had an extensive meeting with Brunton at SHOT Show this past January and have met with them several times since. They have a great product line consisting of everything from entry level optics thru top of the top end optics, which IMO, can compete with Swarovski, Leica & Zeiss. They also have a very well respected and known line of Portable Power Products that they seem to be more known for. I am very excited to be involved with them in offering you these opportunities. You may not be familiar with Brunton at the moment, however, I think it is safe to say that in the last decade names like Vortex & Minox were not major brands thought of for Sports Optics. We all know that is no longer the case. As always anything that we can answer for you is our pleasure.

Multi-step eye relief keeps things comfortable with or without eyeglasses.

Zeiss Conquest Riflescope Sale @ Camera Land As you may, or may not, already know Zeiss has discontinued the majority of their Conquest series line of Riflescopes.

The Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32 FFP Riflescopes Have Arrived Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32 FFP Part# PST-43104 & PST-43103 Reticle Available: EBR-1 MRAD & EBR-1 MOA Matte Black The Viper PST (Precision Shooting Tactical) riflescope boasts features associated with top-tier riflescopes, yet comes in at a street price under the $1,000 mark. Matching reticle and turret measurements allow accurate, fast dialing of shots. The one-piece 30mm tube, precision-machined from a single solid block of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, offers ample windage and elevation adjustment. Born from an intimate understanding of riflescope design, forward-thinking engineering, and open ears to a market incredibly vocal about what it wants in a riflescope, the Viper PST series delivers the performance and features tactical shooters demand at an economical price. Optical Features: First Focal Plane - Subtensions remain consistent throughout the magnification range. Optically Indexed Lenses - Deliver optimum image sharpness and brightness with true reticle use for full ranging and holdover from edge to edge because of computer-controlled alignment during construction. XD Lens Elements - Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images. XR Lens Coatings - Vortex proprietary XR fully multi-coated lens coatings increase light transmission for maximum brightness. Construction Features: 30 mm Tube - Provides greater strength and wider adjustment latitude as compared to a 1-inch tube. One-Piece Tube - Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance as well as strength and waterproofness. Aircraft-Grade Aluminum - Construction from a solid block of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum delivers increased strength and rigidity. Waterproof - O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the tube for reliable performance in all environments. Fogproof - Filled with argon gas to inhibit internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures. Shockproof - Lenses are locked in place, fore and aft, with machined locking rings to remain in perfect alignment and withstand recoil and impact. Hard Anodized Finish - Hard-coat anodization is durable; the low-glare matte helps camouflage the shooter’s position. ArmorTek - Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt. Internal Mechanism Design Features: CRS Zero Stop - Customizable Rotational Stop (CRS) prevents dialing more than one rotation below your zero so you don't lose the zero when dialing large amounts of elevation corrections. Tall Uncapped Turrets - Make range calculation and shooting adjustments fast and accurate with subtension marks that match the reticle . First Focal Plane Reticle - Scale of reticle remains in proportion to the zoomed image. Constant subtensions allow accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications—no shift in point of impact during zoom.

Camera Land's Post SHOT Show Specials It's been a few weeks since SHOT Show ended and we have almost organized all the shipments and have put together exciting things for 2013. We have had meetings with Brunton as well as with Leupold and we are pleased to announce that we are moving forward to be authorized dealers for both. Our meeting with Brunton was enlightening. They have been around a long time, however, they have been a non-player in the optics industry, IMO. They did little if any marketing, which is a shame as the quality of their products is amazing. After seeing their product line we can't wait to get all their glass in here. To start off running with them we have brought in a significant quantity of their Brunton Echo 3-9x40 - BDC Reticle (Part# F-ECHO3940-5) which we are offering for only $149.99 with a little bit of a twist. To introduce the Brunton line we are offering this scope with a "Buy it, Try it, Love it or Return it" sale. That's right, if you get this scope, use it and do not agree that it is more than worth the $149.99 you paid for it, send it back for a full refund for up to 2 months from the time you bought it. To make their products worry free they have also made very clear that their warranty is an all inclusive, use it hard with no worries as you are covered for life, warranty. I think in the next short while you'll be seeing lots of their products as well as positive reviews being posted by guys who discover the Brunton line. We are in the process of finilizing everything up with Leupold and I would think by the end of the month we'll be authorized dealers. Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts as to which products we should be strong with as you probably know thier product line better that we do (at least for the time being). We will work very closely with the Leupold rep to bring news, products and service to you. As usual, we purchased as much of the display product & demos from Leica, Minox, Steiner, Swarovski, Zeiss and we even got some things from Zen-Ray. We grabbed some outstanding values on close-outs and soon to be close-out goods. Certain items that we bought all the remaining inventory of in order to offer super discounts on.......

This is totally made in germany and was a very impressive addition for Minox. Zeiss Conquest HD-5 5-25x50 riflscopes in all 4 offered reticle versions. We have received a nice sized delivery of the hard to locate Swarovski 10x42 EL Range as well as their Swarovski STX Modular Eyepiece Straight, #49902 for their new 65mm, 85mm & 95mm Modular Objective Spotters If you do not find what you're looking for please feel free to contact Doug or Neil @ 212-753-5128 or gr8fuldoug@aol.com

Steiner 10x42 Police Binocular, #645 Only $399.99 We bought all of Steiners existing inventory on these outstanding binoculars and are offering these @ only $399.99, which is $200.00 off their $599.99 normal selling price. From Steiner: Steiner is building the new compact 10x42 Police binocular with features aimed at the Law Enforcement observer. The 27 ounce 10x42 LE binocular offers excellent brightness and brilliant image resolution, all without a budget-breaking cost. The optical performance is a result of Steiner’s proprietary fully multi-coated optics and phase corrected roof prisms. The new 10x42 Police binocular is compact in size and can be easily slide into a larger pocket or small pack for easy carrying or discreetness. But the most important feature of the 10x42 Police is its unrivalled dependability. Built to high shock and water resistant standards, and the Police Binocular has a tough housing made of Makrolon, a space-age polycarbonate material that is extremely strong, yet very light. The 10x42 Police is covered with a slip proof, non-reflective, black, rubber armoring, creating a durable optical package. The 10x42 Police includes attached lens caps, a removable one-piece ocular lens cover, a quick-detach “Clic-Loc” Neck Strap, and a Black Thermo-molded, custom case. A tripod mount is located on the front center axis of the binocular, and with the optional adapter (Item 772); the binocular will mount on any standard tripod.

OK, Today SHOT Show kicked off and I started my day meeting with Vortex. After seeing their list of new products: Viper PST 2.5–10x32 FFP Riflescope with EBR-1 Reticle (MRAD) ETA Spring 2013 Viper PST 2.5–10x32 FFP Riflescope with EBR-1 Reticle (MOA) ETA Spring 2013 Viper HS 6–24x50 Riflescope with Dead-Hold BDC Reticle (MOA) ETA Fall 2013 Viper HS 6–24x50 Riflescope with V-Plex Reticle (MOA) ETA Fall 2013 Razor HD 12x50 Binocular ETA Spring 2013 Razor HD 10x50 Binocular ETA Spring 2013. These binoculars are ultra sleek for a bino with a 50mm objective. They felt great in my hands with the comfortable thumb indents underneath. They are made in Japan. Crossfire II 10x42 Binocular ETA early Spring 2013 Crossfire II 8x42 Binocular ETA early Spring 2013 Razor HD 16–48x65 Angled Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 Razor HD 16–48x65 Straight Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 Razor HD 11–33x50 Angled Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 Razor HD 11–33x50 Straight Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 Razor HD 18x/23x Long Eye Relief Eyepiece ETA Spring 2013 Diamondback 20–60x80 Straight Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 Diamondback 20–60x80 Angled Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 Diamondback 20–60x80 Angled Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 Diamondback 20–60x80 Straight Spotting Scope ETA Spring 2013 These spotters are on par with the old Vortex Skyline ED series at about 1/2 the price. If you are looking for a quality spotter at a great price this should be on your check list. I figured let's get over there first, put in the first SHOT Show order so we can be first to get a shipment (one likes to delude oneselves that this actually is the way it works. It isn't reality unfortunately). I was excited about some of these products and wanted to see what the deal was. The Razor HD 11–33x50 was of particular interest as it would be a nice line up addition to the Nikon 13-30x50 ED, and the Minox MD50 16-30x50 in the stable of quality compact spotters. I was anxious to see if the new Razor would be something as good, if not better to offer. The first thing I asked and was disappointed to learn was that the eyepiece is not removable. OH well, no option to go with a fixed straight power eyepiece. That was the only down side to this very nice scope. I think it's quality will make it a winner (what one can tell in the basement of a convention center). Their current Razor scope is a great optic and as this is it's smaller version I see no reason why it would be less than. Vortex's home run will be their Viper PST 2.5–10x32 FFP Riflescope with EBR-1 Reticle (offered in both MOA or MRAD). What a sweet scope and at $799.99 I think this will be their #1 seller of their new products. BTW, Vortex discontinued their Vortex VMX3 Magnifier for Red Dot Scopes (PN# VMX3) w/ Swing Mount so we bought their remaining inventory and are blowing these out at $219.99 Leica was next on my list. I arranged it this way as after everything I had heard about their new Rangefinder I had to be the one of the first kids on line to see it. I have already done a post specifically on the new Leica Geovid HD-B 8x42 - Yards Model, #40047 and Leica Geovid HD-B 10x42 - Yards Model, #40049 so please see it or my web site for the specs and info on it. I will say that they did do a great job on it. It feels great in my hands, is as good optically as any binocular I have ever looked thru and it is, as promised, the most state of the art rangefinding binocular on the market. They also released the CRF-1000-R. This new and improved Rangemaster CRF 1000-R replaces the existing CRF-1000, which presented the opportunity to purchase hundreds of their remaining inventory of the CRF-1000's and be able to offer them for only $469.99 or $499.99 with a CRF Tripod Adapter As usual we purchased Leica's booth at the show so a crazy amount of "Certified Pre-Owned" product will be arriving next week (NO there are none of the just released Geovid HD-B's in that shipment as they have none for sale yet). Next was off to see Minox over in the German Pavillion. I was pleased to be shown a host of new products. #66525 ZA 5i 3-15x50 SF w/ Illuminated Plex Reticle @ $669.00 #66515 ZA 5i 2-10x50 w/illuminated Plex Reticle @ $679.00 They also released a new, Made in Germany line of high end illuminated scopes: #66554 ZE 5i 1-5x24 w/ illuminated German #4 Reticle @ $1399.00 #66564 ZE 5i 2-10x50 w/ illuminated German #4 Reticle @ $1599.00 #66574 ZE 5i 3-15x56 SF w/ illuminated German #4 Reticle @ $1699.00 #66584 ZE 5i 5-25x56 SF w/ illuminated German #4 Reticle @ $1799.00 These seemed, when first presented to me, to be not such a great idea as Minox is not perceived as a $1500.00 to $2000.00 scope player, however, after checking out the scopes (as best as can be under the circumstances) they do have a quality product priced below the competition. "Equipped with a 30 mm riflescope tube, a 5x magnification and a red dot reticle with 11 brightness settings, the new ZE-i line offers the user maximum flexibility and precision for short and long range shooting distances." While there I, of course, asked about grabbing up some deals and I hit it out of the park.... Their ZA-3 3-9x50 Riflescopes have been discontinued as they are going to focus on their ZA-5 (5x power) line. We jumped on this opportunity to buy their remaining inventory in Plex, BDC, XR-BDC and #4 reticles. The deal we cut is allowing us to offer these to you @ $300.00 (your choice of reticle) including your choice of a BF 8x25, BF 10x25, BF 8x42 or BF 10x42 binocular. This deal is only going to last as long as our supply of scopes does but this is more than half off. We're thrilled to bring you this deal Next on the agenda was Steiner who I was really looking forward to meeting with. They had a hierarchy change since last SHOT Show and I was curious to see if we could grow our offerings from them. They came to the table ready to really create some significant opportunities and I was more than pleased. We are receiving a shipment of: Steiner 10x42 Police Binocular, #645 which sells for $599.99 and we are now offering it for only $399.99 Their Steiner Safari Pro 8x22 Compact Binocular, #231 will be only $99.99 and if you want with with a new Steiner Predator Xtreme Riflescope (new not a demo) you can add it for a penny. In demos we grabbed a bunch more of their Steiner 8x42 Predator Xtreme Binocular, #2481 @ $299.99 (reduced from $399.99), and their Steiner 10x42 Predator Xtreme Binocular, #2581 @ $349.99 (reduced from $499.99). They are also going to be sending us show samples of their Military line of riflescopes: Steiner Military/Tactical 1-4x24mm (DM1 Reticle), #5142 Steiner Military/Tactical 3-12x50mm (G2 Mil-Dot Reticle), #5312 Steiner Military/Tactical 3-12x56mm (G2 Mil-Dot Reticle), #5356 Steiner Military/Tactical 4-16x50mm (G2 Mil-Dot Reticle), #5416 Steiner Military/Tactical 5-25x56mm #'s 5525 & 5550 G2 Mil-Dot & MSR Reticles These scopes are as good as anything offered in this catagory but have not been marketed correctly, IMO. These demos will allow an opportunity to grab them at a reduced price. I had a limited meeting with Meopta that will be followed up with an extensive meeting in the next few weeks that I feel will be very productive. I finally met Charles from Zen-Ray . He did not have a booth at the show, however, we arranged a meeting which was long overdue. He is a very nice guy who is interested in putting out a quality product at an affordable price. We chatted a while and are arranging a deal for the ZEN-RAY - ZEN ED2 - 20-60x82mm Angled Spotter We discussed their binocular line and how their new PRIME HD binoculars, in both 8x42 and 10x42, were being received. According to Charles, these binoculars have a total of 20 pieces of optical lenses, including few field flattener lenses. This is what he attributes how bright and edge to edge clear this new unit is. Additionally, I got a first look of their new 32mm ZRS HD binoculars. It does appear to be another winner from the Zen-Ray stable of optics. According to Charles, the 32mm ZRS HD will be available for sale in April for about $220. I think this model will do very well if its optics performs as good as its 42mm siblings. Day 2 I continued on my never ending quest for information and deals. I stated the second morning at Zeiss. This was an interesting meeting as they are introducing a new line of binoculars as well as a new line of riflescopes. These are kind of a new optics area for them as they are priced for mass marketing. Not that there is anything wrong with this, just a new direction for one of the Big Three Euro's known only for top end optics. I checked out the two new Terra ED binoculars first. They seem to be made well and felt nice in my hands. Good eyecups, smooth focus. They seem to be a good quality optic that fits nicely into the sub $500.00 price range. Terra ED 8x42 @ $349.99 Terra ED 10x42 @ $399.99 These binoculars give Zeiss a firm footing in this saturated price catagory with an optic that will do very well. Oddly (and I thought it was weird but later someone commented the same thing to me) they smelled funny. I realize this is not the an everyday thing to mention, but I noticed it so I am mentioning it. The new riflescopes seem nice, however, until they are out there being used and proven for a few months I can only comment on what I can observe in a convention hall. Going off of track history I would think they'll be "Zeiss quality" as I cannot see Zeiss putting out anything sub-grade. They seem to be made well, however, time and use is the only way to know for sure. Again, getting into a price range out of the expected for Zeiss: Terra 2-7x32 Z-Plex #20 @ $349.99 Terra 3-9x42 Z-Plex #20 @ $399.99 Terra 3-9x42 RZ6 @ $449.99 Terra 4-12x42 Z-Plex #20 @ $449.99 4-12x42 RZ8 $499.99 These are expected to arrive in late Spring These all have the Zeiss Hunting Turret As a personal note they went with an acrylic packaging which may look nice on a display shelf but I personally do not think it will travel well (shipped from the factory to Zeiss - Zeiss to us - us to you) That may result in scratchy or cracked plastic boxes on delivery which kinda defeats the nice clean presentation this type of packaging is meant for. Just my $.02 We, as usual, expect a delivery of demo goods from Zeiss in the next week or so. As soon as it is in and received we will get it posted. For my next meeting I walked a few rows over to meet with Swarovski . First off let me say that in the past few years I like what Swarovski has been doing. Not only with their products but just the way they have been doing business. They had some regime changes a couple of years back and I think these changes have turned out to be a good thing. They have made working together enjoyable as well smooth. When you work with folks and need their assistance in order to provide customer service it's nice to know they actually care. We got a new Sales Rep a short time ago and I could not have designed a better choice. He knows the products, does training with our staff, and sincerely asks if there is anything he can do for us & for our clients. We had a productive meeting in which we discussed a possible local optics event day where training and product testing would be available to our clients for digiscoping as well as general binocular and spotter use. They went over their new 4W reticle in their Z6 & Z6(I) Riflescopes with me, which I think will be a popular addition to their offerings. We discussed shortage of popular product and they do feel that the supply of their Swarovision 10x42 EL Range will improve this year as well as the supply of their Swarovision 12x50 EL ( which in that power optic is the one to get, IMO). I did comment to them that their new line of ATX/STX Modular Spotting Scopes have been extremely well received, especially for photography applications. We can hardly get the 95mm Objective in quick enough. Good news on that system is that they are now beginning to receive the STX Straight Modular Eyepiece for it. I then went to to meet with my friend and Rep Roger Bushnell. He's been our Rep going back longer than I can remember. A great guy. Even though we really not do all that much with Bushnell he is very attentive and manages to get us demos and refurbs. He'll be sending a list soon enough that we'll share with you. I then went to a meeting with Leupold . This was a first for me as we have never handled their products. A month or so ago a Leupold Rep came in the store and met briefly with me. We had a discussion that went very well. He arranged for us to meet at SHOT to discuss Camera Land becoming an authorized dealer. We had about an hour long meeting with a great guy from Leupold, just discussing our business model and theirs and if we'd be a good fit. We have scheduled another meeting, and it looks like we should be moving forward. I think this will be a great addition to the optics lines we now offer. From Leupold I went to meet Annie from ScopeCoat. We started selling ScopeCoat riflescope neoprene covers a few months ago but other than emails and phone calls I never had the pleasure of meeting Annie. Glad I had the opportunity as it makes working together so much more pleasant when you've actually met the people you are doing business with. To give credit where credit is due she spent a year contacting us before we moved forward with her products. Not for any other reason than I was always so busy when she would call that it kept getting pushed to the back burner, however, she never gave up on me and now we sell a ton of these great protective covers. A shame we waited so long as these covers are an inexpensive way to protect your scope investment. We became a Kowa dealer a few years ago. They work with independant sales reps and the guy who called on me was a nice guy. The kind of rep you want to work with so we opened with Kowa. I have always known that their Spotting Scopes were awesome but was not very familiar with the rest of their line. We've been selling their spotters fairly consistantly but never really got into their binocular line. I think that 2013 may bring an expansion deeper into the Kowa line. Ray, our rep, is coming in soon to further this so stay tuned. One more meeting on day 2 and I'd be done (to be honest I was already done. Dragging at this point, lots of coffee and water, no food and talking non-stop since 8:30 in the morning gets very exhausting). My last meeting of the day was with Vero Vellini. My Steiner rep also reps this line of hunting slings and straps and he wanted me to check out their product. It seemed like a fair enough request so I made an appointment to check out their offerings. Glad I did as their products seem to be top quality, priced well and something that is a nice fit for us. From their web site: "The Vero Vellini line includes a full range of rifle and shotgun slings and binocular straps and harnesses designed to meet any hunter's preference and taste. Every Vero Vellini sling features leather end panels for a classic look and non-slip rubber backing for a superior carry. From Wide-Top Rifle slings to Tactical and Shotgun slings, from binocular and camera straps to the Bino-Pal™ binocular harness, Vero Vellini takes European craftsmanship and combines it with modern materials to achieve the ultimate in balance, comfort, flexibility and dampening." We opened up with them and as soon as our web builder can get the info on our site we'll be in business. Very exciting product, IMO. Day 3 arrived to a huge breakfast and only 3 appointments. Today would be a fine, low pressure day. I had already seen most of what I had come to SHOT to see and left 3 appointments for my last day, Brunton, Nikon & Pentax My first appointment was with Brunton who, quite honestly, I knew next to nothing about. As you may or may not know last year I opened an OffShore Tackle Shop, Pelagic Outfitters, with my buddy Chris. Our Daiwa Rep Eric is now with Brunton and requested that I come and check out their optics. He's a good guy so if he honestly thought it was worthwhile what could I lose other than an hour of my life I could never get back. Having not really known anything about their products I asked around. Basically I was informed that they made a better than good optic but had little if any presence on the optics end of the business due to poor marketing, however, they are a huge player in Outdoor Gear, Solar Portable Power Mats, etc. With little expectation I went to their booth (small in the back of the lower level) and asked for the VP of sales as Eric was not at the show. I was introducted to Joel, a very personable guy who is VERY excited about his product line. We chatted about Brunton and about Camera Land. While chatting he showed me some different binoculars, which, IMO were superior to what I had expected (how do they have such great glass and nobody knows about it?) and then we discussed pricing. I thought for a relatively unknown their prices were a bit high. Not that the optics were not worth what they were priced for and then some, as they were. Just that everything is perception and how do you get a guy to spend $500. - $2300 for a name they do not know. Having metioned this I again saw how VERY enthusiastic Joel is about the product and the company. He explained that they have, as other companies these days do, a no fault warranty, however, theirs was put into place out of need to be able to use your optics as you desire rather than as a marketing tool. He explained that he wants the Brunton user to use their optics in the field without concern that they may be damaged. I was now a bit more interested as he was showing that they may actually care about the end user rather than corporate headquarters. He then started going over the line with me and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. Not your average optics, in the standard sizes and all optically superior to what I was expection. 8x45, 11x45, 15x51, 10.5x43, 8.5x43, 8x44 & 11x44....Interesting. Also shows these are not the generic binoculars that, without mentioning names, can possibly be all coming down the same assembly line with different mfg packaging while all being the same. Their binoculars are priced from $99 - $2299 which is bold, however, in a plain brown wrapper test I can see many people picking out these optics vs similar priced options. We then went over their Spotters ($149 - $4395) which were as impressive. Next we moved onto their riflescopes (BTW, the "Do Eric a favor and stop by this booth" seems like Eric was doing a favor for me by suggesting it). They have a very broad selection from entry level thru $1695 high end. We discussed the line and I was told that even their ECHO® 3-9x40, BDC Reticle is an impressive scope and @ $149.99 can't be beat in it's price range. I was intrigued and proposed bringing these in and offering them with a "Buy it, try it and if you do not like it send it back" offer would they agree. Surprisingly they did. Sometime in the next couple of weeks we will be an official Brunton dealer and our first "sale" will be to offer their ECHO® 3-9x40, BDC Reticle @ $149.99, with a "love it or return it" offering. Stay tuned for this company as I think this is one hour of my life not wasted. My next appointment was a total comfort zone appointment, Nikon . Camera Land has been an authorized Nikon dealer since 1957 and everyone there is like family. It's like going to a meeting with your buddies. Short of them having this meeting in one of our back yards during a BBQ I could not feel more relaxed. I was shown their new Aculon A211 Binocular Line which seems a nice and refreshing addition for them. They have phased out the Action line, while keeping the Action Extreme's. I was impressed with the new Aculon A211 10x42 which @ $99.95 should be a best selling unit for anyone. In a Porro Prism binocular this, for sure, is a grand slam. We discussed the constant shortage of their ED 50 13-30x50 Spotting Scope and I was happily informed that they are on top of it and that should not really be an issue this year. Overall Nikon's line is a strong, dependable line for us. The Monarch 3's and 5's that were released last year have been great sellers and they say that the backorder problem on their Monarch 7's should ease somewhat this year. It was a nice relaxing meeting with friends. A nice change from the hectic atmosphere in some of the other booths. Last, but not least, was Pentax . This meeting is something I look forward to as well as dread. I look forward to it as two people at Pentax, Pat and Allen are two of the greatest folks in the industry and we have worked together for more than 25 years. Finishing the show (I had to be back in Camera Land so this was it for me) with them was a great plan. Day 3 was a wind down day and what better way to do it than with them. I dread going to the Pentax booth because as a general rule their line is stale. Corporate Pentax has treated their Sports Optics division as a step child for so long I think they forgot that it exists. I did order 20x60 PCF WP II's and in spotters their PF80-ED's & PF65-ED II's as these three items are great quality and consistant sellers. I was informed that 2013 would be an exciting year at Pentax as they have new people at the top who plan to totally revamp the line and add life to it. Can't wait for SHOT 2014. This wraps up my report. I am back in the store so please feel free to contact me with any questions. Yes, we picked up loads of demos and deals and those goods should arrive and be checked in by the end of the month I would think. Thanks for taking the time to read this I hope it was informative.

"Leica's true Game Changing Product – the Geovid HD-B w/User Ballistic Interface" Here it is: #40047 8x42 Geovid HD-B w/User Ballistic Interface - $2945.00 & #40049 10x42 Geovid HD-B w/User Ballistic Interface - $2995.00 This new Geovid HD-B model features class-leading ranging capabilities and field of view, fully functioning ballistics capabilities utilizing the patented Advanced Ballistic Compansation (ABC) technologies featured in the popular CRF 1600-B, and the unique ability to program customized bullet & caliber ballistic data for the most precise holdover readings possible. The Geovid HD-B also features vastly improved optical performance utilizing our exciting new Perger Porro prism system. The new Geovid HD-B transmits more light and offers an amazingly, wide field of view (10x = 374’ @ 1,000 yards). This means these are more effective than ever for scanning the horizon for hidden game. The rangefinding abilities are improved as well, and the new Geovid HD-B can effectively range out to 2,000 yards - the longest ranging capabilities in class. You'll also find great comfort in the clever, curved, ergonomic chassis that rests perfectly in the palms of the hands for superior grip, comfort, & stability. The Geovid HD-B offers the Widest field of view of any rangefinding binocular, Ranges further than other rangefinding binoculars, and is the only model to offer full ballistics holdover calculations AND angular ballistic computations. As with past popular Geovid models the new HD-B of course delivers lightning fast line of sight distance readings using the most sophisticated micro-processing available. However, by adding Leica’s patented ABC system you now have an amazingly, versatile tool that allows you to choose between three different point-of-impact corrections. For shooters utilizing standard plex or similar reticles the ABC system can offer line of sight distance with holdover corrections in inches or centimeters. Shooters with standard turret adjustments can get additional point of impact corrections in “clicks” in either ¼ M.O.A. or mil radian. And finally shooters may choose to receive a calculated Equivalent Horizontal Range (EHR) for those utilizing custom turrets manufactured specifically for their rifle & cartridge combination. In all cases the ABC system accounts for air temperature, absolute air pressure, and angle of incline when making the calculations. Where holdover is being provided the sophisticated processing system also considers the specific ballistic characteristics of your cartridge & rifle combination. The Leica Geovid HD-B and the ABC system provide one of the most comprehensive selections of pre-programmed ballistic curves in the industry. With12 available options to choose from, every shooter is bound to find a curve that closely matches the ballistic performance of their cartridge. Additionally, the Geovid HD-B features another amazing and wholly revolutionary function that allows shooters to take this even a step further. Using the Leica online ballistic calculator and use of a micro-SD card slot conveniently located in the waterproof battery compartment, each user can upload their exact ballistics information into the Geovid HD-B. After entering their ballistic data onto the card, all one has to do is simply insert the loaded micro-SD card (included with each Geovid HD- into the card slot and the Geovid does the rest. With the micro-SD card inserted the Geovid HD-B’s intelligent features automatically use the ballistic information on the card by default, with no additional programming or feature selections necessary. For shooters with multiple weapons you can carry different cards for each weapon being used and simply insert the card that matches the specific hunter’s rifle & cartridge combination. This customized approach allows for greater accuracy to further distances, due to the precise nature of the ballistics data.
