Browning Camping has debuted the Talon 1, a no-fly tent developed for the backcountry adventurer requiring a lightweight shelter that sets up quickly, and is suitable for diverse environments.

The Talon 1 is built on an 82X43-inch floor plan to accommodate a single person plus gear. The poly oxford floor comes with 1500mm coating for protection, and an optional oxford footprint is available for added security when camping on abrasive surfaces. The tent walls are constructed of weatherproof poly-cotton fabric, eliminating the need for a rainfly.

Supported by a freestanding external pole system consisting of 7000-series aluminum poles and hubs, the Talon 1 boasts a full-length mesh door for easy ingress/egress. The combination mesh door and interior mesh vent offer ample ventilation for warm-weather camping and reduces moisture buildup. Incorporated into the door flap are three grommets that, when supported by adjustable trekking poles or other suitable support, can serve as a guy-out awning that is perfect for preparing meals from the comfort and shelter of the tent.

Additional features of the Browning Talon 1 include steel stakes, reflective guy ropes, and an interior utility hook for hanging a light.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.

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.
