2019 Hunting Handgun of the Year: Taurus Raging Hunter

2019 Ammo of the Year: Hornady 6.5 PRC

Built using all the knowledge ballisticians have gained over years of collecting data, the 6.5 PRC is one of the most perfect hybrid hunting/long-range target rounds ever conceived.

2019 Optic of the Year: SIG Sauer BDX Optics System

The acronym embedded in the nomenclature of the SIG Sauer BDX system says it all—Ballistic Data Xchange is exactly what occurs when using the optics system. It is three units—a riflescope, laser rangefinder and smartphone app—which work in sync to ensure hunters fire at distant targets with certainty.

2019 Gear of the Year: Primos Double Bull SurroundView 360 Hunting Blind

Dubbed as the first “blind without a blind spot,” the new Primos Double Bull SurroundView 360 Blind utilizes a see-through fabric to allow complete visual awareness without the need to open windows.

2019 Vehicle of the Year: Yamaha Kodiak 450

In an ATV market that touts ever-larger side-by-side vehicles capable of hauling four humans and untold pounds of gear and game, many hunters still choose to use a four-wheeler. A four-wheeler is, after all, cheaper than a SxS. It is also easier to maneuver in tight spots, rides in a pickup bed and sits nicely in the back of a garage. Yamaha considered all this when it designed the 2019 Kodiak 450.
