Calling all hunters! If you haven't yet hit the road for the 2016 SCI show in Las Vegas, get busy because the three-day event kicked off today as thousands of hunters converged on the Mandalay Bay Convention Center to get in on the action in Las Vegas, Feb. 3-6.

Don't miss the enthusiasm and adventure as you navigate the aisles. Actually, navigating the aisles is part of the adventure at an SCI show. Who will you meet? Which friends will you see? What piece of wildlife art or unique wildlife-related collectible will catch your eye? Last but not least, visit with some members of what I call the "dream team"—the 500-plus outfitters who are on hand to help you plan your next hunting or fishing trip.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field.
