“shooting rest”

If you've hunted from a treestand, you've probably had to take at least one shot that you weren't completely comfortable with—they're, more often than not, made to keep you in the tree first, provide an ideal shooting rest, second. One new product is trying to correct that: the LockedOn 360 Mobile Gun Vise.

The Trigger Stick provides a stable shooting rest that's easy to adjust, and serves as a tripod for optics and cameras.

Birchwood Casey has begun shipping five new shooting rests: Alpha, Bravo, Echo, Foxtrot, and Tango.

Designed to suit a wide variety of environs, Millennium Treestands has introduced the ground-based GB100 Buck Blind. A luxury option, the GB100 boasts a heavy-duty powder-coated steel frame built with SteelTough construction and SilentHunt design to keep it quiet.

For deer hunters looking for a ready-to-deploy elevated shooting house rather than trying to construct a DIY version, Millennium Treestands has a solution with the Q200 Buck Hut.

Here's the gear you'll need before hitting the deer woods this season.

In a push to “go long,” it’s easy to add too much complexity to the hunt with the use of laser rangefinders, anemometers, spinning turrets and Christmas tree reticles. But you don’t have to touch your scope to shoot game out to 300 yards. Zero your rifle for its maximum point-blank range and never fuss with a turret again.

It doesn’t matter what you're doing, if you're doing it in the mountains then “weight” will probably have an influence on your success or failure. This includes your deer rifle.

The aptly named 15-30x Compact is small in size and light in weight, but big on capability.
