For those scenarios when a typical portable ground blind is just too small, Ameristep has released the Care Taker Magnum. Boasting all the ruggedness and versatility of a portable unit, and weighing only 14-pounds total, the Care Taker Magnum still manages a 59x59-inch footprint when set up, with a 66-inch interior height and shooting width. This makes it big enough for two bowhunters to draw and shoot accurately, without fear of a wall getting in the way. At rest, on the other hand, the blind easily fits three. 

To conceal occupants from view of their quarry, Mossy Oak Break-up Country covers not only the entire blind, but the shoot-through mesh windows as well. Within, a black ShadowGuard coating ensures shadows and silhouettes don't give one away. Finally, the blind sports a Durashell Plus fabric shell with a matte finish, a rugged Spider Hub frame, a Silent Toggle triangular window system, brush-in loops for natural foliage and an easy-access zippered door.

For more information on this portable-yet-spacious blind, which can be folded to fit in a 6x42-inch carry bag, please visit ameristep.com. MSRP: $139.99

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
