Firenock LLC brings missile arming technology, reliability of modern electronics to the archery industry.  Firenock has successfully develop the “G” switch that is the same technology as 2nd arming switch as modern missile. (i.e. it need to sense a specific acceleration before it can be armed.  This technology eliminates accidental misfire/self arming)  This technology is the heart of Firenock LLC offering of our “G” series lighted nock.  In plan English, you get a lighted nock that lit only when you shoot it out a bow/crossbow with no less than 65G force applied or it will not lit.  Accidental turn on is no longer an issue as you can drop the arrow/bolt horizontally as high as 21′(7M) without being lit.  Couple with the latest Mosfit electronic and assembly methods, mathematically we have achieve previously un think of 99.9999% reliability(1) for a lighted nock.

Firenock “G” series, unlike the previous magnetic activated Firenock’s products, the new Firenock “G” series products do not require a magnet for activation of the lighted nock system. Firenock “G” series just works like magic; the LED gets on when it is shot. There is no need for actuator magnet, actuator adaptor, sticker and accidentally “on” if the lighted nock system is exposed to a magnetic field. And there is no more issue if you lost your actuator in the field or drop it from tree stand. Firenock “G” series is really a high-tech piece of equipment with hunter’s mind designs.

On Target- They function as designed.  “EVERY SHOT”!  Before with other lighted nocks I was always worrying if they were going to turn on and I was pretty darn close to forgetting about even trying lighted nocks again.  After seeing first hand the Firenocks work at last years ATA show and hearing the technology behind them my mind was intrigued once again. “I’ll give them a shot”, and they’ve worked perfectly. The assembly isn’t to tough and I can easily change out the batteries when needed.  Thanks Firenock.

Off Target-  They are a bit pricey for a little spender like me. ($54.95 for a pack of 3) But this is one product where I can say, you get what you pay for.

Trophy Rock is the single most powerful natural mineral lick. Extracted from a pristine mineral deposit in central Utah, Trophy Rock descends from an ancient sea bed over 150 million years old, preserved by an embalming layer of volcanic ash.

Outdoor enthusiasts use Trophy Rock to observe, hunt, and harvest quality big game and wildlife. Whether it’s whitetail deer, elk, caribou, antelope, boars, or even black bears. Whether using a bow, a rifle, a muzzle loader, binoculars, or just taking pictures. Trophy Rock is the best supplement available. It’s natural. It’s effective. And it’s beneficial.

On Target - First off, check your states regs and make sure you can use Trophy Rock. Once you know you can use it then you will reap the benefits. This rock is all natural, it can last up to several months, and it works. I figured I’d give it a try and hoped in a couple weeks I’d have some game pics of some bucks using it. It didn’t take but a week and I have several bucks and does frequently using it. It’s easy to use and it’s packed with minerals deer need to be healthy.

Off Target - This is my first year to use Trophy Rock and as of today I have not found one thing I don’t like. I have cameras set up on all my rock stations and all are getting pictures of deer. Let me get a full season under and I’ll let you know if I find a flaw.

I never thought I’d be buying rocks for deer hunting. Over the years I’ve tried numerous attractants, supplements, etc and not one has performed like this. If you’d like more info on the Trophy Rock check out www.trophyrock.com

On Target - First off it’s a women’s boot and no I’m not wearing them. I have been hearing a lot in the outdoor industry about women not getting any love. There are a few new companies out there starting to develop womens hunting apparel and I thought I should have my wife test out a pair of womens hunting boots. We began looking for a good hunting boot that kept her feet dry and comfortable. We came across the Women’s Ridge-line High from Wolverine. This turkey season my wife has gotten to put them to the test. I drug her everywhere and made her walk places she wouldn’t of normally. Guys, not one gripe. She didn’t complain a bit. Now, I don’t know if it solely was the boots or just my country charm but I’ll definitely make sure she’s wearing her Wolverine boots next time we head to the woods.

While we hunted this season I asked her to evaluate the boots. I would ask her for her thoughts once turkey season was over. Here is what i got and I quote; “They’re a lot better than the big kid boots you had me in last year. Finally, I move up the list enough to get a nice pair of hunting boots. They’re comfortable, my feet stayed dry, and they fit right.”

Off Target- I asked her what she didn’t like about the boot and here’s what i got and I quote; They’re a little pricey but in the end I think they’re worth it. The high back part of the boot was really hard and rubbed the back of my leg at first but once the boot got worn in they felt great.”

There you have it. A review for the women. Hope it helps some of you women out that are serious about hunting. Check out the complete womens line of hunting boots at www.wolverine.com

The Phantom Pro-Series Wireless Calling System offers many fine features to help all your calling needs. The Phantom Pro-Series Wireless System operates on 4 AA batteries in the remote receiver and 4 AA in the transmitter allowing for longer battery life up to 16 hours at maximum volume. This model has an on/off button with a light on/off indicator, low battery light, mute button and a volume control. An ABS all weather 15 watt speaker is plugged into the top and clipped on the back of the receiver unit, making this a compact system with the capability to place the sound away from you up to 200 yards, depending on the terrain, distancing yourself from the center of sound to ensure you remain safely undetected from your ground blind or tree stand, therefore enhancing your calling success.

There are 7 different sound modules available, Whitetail, Predator, Gobbler, Moose, Elk, Bear, Honker with future plans for more modules to be available. With each sound module you purchase there is a faceplate for that particular sound module. No guesswork to what sounds you’ll be making. Our unique feature is to double the same sound or combine 2 different sounds at the same time, this can give your calling environment a more life like setting. It is recommended that you check with your local DNR for legal use of electronic wildlife calls.

On Target- First off let me say that my first field test with this unit was a success. I lured in 3 coyotes to within 50 yards of my blind, one taking a snow nap. This is my first experience with electronic calls and l have to also say that I really think there a must for coyote hunting. It sure give the lips a break. Not having to deal with long wires was nice and the ability to make numerous distress sounds at one time really makes your calling sequence sound realistic. I think if your a big predator hunter I would sure have one of these in my pack.

Off Target- I think the 200 yards is stretching it. I had it setting in the middle of a frozen lake with no terrain changes at 70 yards and I had problems with it turning on and off. Not to say it doesn’t work at 200 yards but from my experience it seemed to have difficulties working at long distances.
