Opening Day Newsletter

Hunting Season is Finally Here!! With the opening of archery antelope season in Colorado and Wyoming, today marks the opening day of fall hunting season for most of us. Hopefully this newsletter finds some of you returning from your first day afield this fall, unless you were one of the lucky few to draw a sheep or goat tag. With the elk and deer archery seasons opening earlier than usual this year in Colorado, I know that season has snuck up on most of us. We have a fully stocked inventory right now for those last minute items and upgrades. If you haven't been in the shop in the last few months, we have vastly upgraded our inventory of Sitka Gear, First Light, Eberlestock, Big Agnes and Badlands products in stock. Recent upgrades to the shop include bringing in the entire Minox Hunting Optics Line; if you haven't taken a close look at Minox, stop by the shop and test them out. I dare you to find a bad review on Minox Hunting Optics, and all of their products are backed by an unconditional full lifetime guarantee.
