Spot Hogg: American Made Archery Sights and Releases Built in Harrisburg, Oregon
There is a line at the top of the Spot Hogg website right now, and it is not a sales pitch. "Due To High Demand Orders for Sights and Releases Ship in 4 - 6 Weeks From The Time of Order." Think about what that admits. In a world where a brand can have a container of sights on a boat by Tuesday, here is a company telling you to wait a month and a half. They could fix that tomorrow. They would just have to send the drawings somewhere else. Continue reading
Ferox Gear: American Made Hunting and Shooting Gear
Every hunter has a story about the moment a piece of gear quit on them. The zipper that let go at 11,000 feet. The pouch that shed its stitching somewhere between the truck and the ridge.

It happens on day four, in the dark, when you are cold and tired and there is nothing to do about it. Continue reading

The Mule
If you are a bow hunter, especially a Western Big Game bow hunter, you'll appreciate The Mule. The Mule is a front stabilizer for your hunting bow, bringing the balance you need for those perfectly placed shots on game. But, it also serves the added benefit of being an incredibly comfortable option for carrying your bow over long distances. Rather than hoisting the bow onto your pack, which is not a great option when stalking, or even carrying it by the string as many do, The Mule allows you to carry the bow by the handle while resting your forearm against the V-Shape on the stabilizer itself.
