The DAMAR Truck Deck storage system brings a heavy-duty, secure storage system to outdoorsmen’s truck beds to maximize space utilization and organization.

“Our DAMAR Truck Deck is designed to fit the exact size and shape of each truck, eliminating the need to drill or modify an outdoorsman’s truck,” said David Martin, president of DAMAR. “Not drilling into the sheet metal means not opening up the vehicle’s sheet metal to the elements and possibly rust. Our customers’ investment in their trucks is protected.”

Each Truck Deck is bed-specific meaning installation and removal is quick and simple, requiring no tools and can easily be installed by one person.

The Truck Deck is held in place by an aluminum square-tube frame extending to the sidewalls of the bed, securing anything stored within or tied down to the multiple tie-down rings. The Truck Deck frame is held in the bed by means of tension pins to securely keep it in place. The top of the deck is constructed of .125-gauge aluminum or .187-gauge aluminum diamond plate for additional strength.

Modular storage compartments feature hatch lids on full-width hinges and feature full rubber gaskets to keep the elements on the outside. The rear hatch features gas springs to hold the lid open when loading long items into the Truck Deck. Heavy-duty T-handle rotary latches feature individual locks allowing access to individual compartments without unlocking them all. The handles are recessed to provide a smooth loading surface for hauling large loads on top of the Truck Deck.

Individual storage containers with lids fit snugly into the Truck Deck to keep gear from sliding around the bed. The storage containers are easy to swap out so outdoorsmen can keep a set loaded and ready for a fishing trip and another set ready for camping or hunting. In lieu of the storage containers, separator panels can be installed for additional storage configuration options.

Three packages are offered:

• Standard Deck – Offers polished surface finish, six top-hatch openings and two full-width separator panels.
• Commercial Package – Offers polished, non-skid or color-matched powder-coated surface finish, six top-hatch openings, two full-width separator panels and eight storage bins.
• Sportsman Package – Offers polished, non-skid or color-matched powder-coated surface finish with an optional camouflage surface finish, four storage bins, four standard-sized top-hatch openings and one large top-hatch, one full-width and one half-width separator panel, one cooler, two drop-in gun/rod racks for the large hatch and a heavy-duty ramp for loading items such as ATVs onto the top of the Truck Deck.

Additional accessories are available to further customize the Truck Deck to individual needs.

Darkwoods Blind is taking its unique one-of-a-kind mobile hunting blinds to the next level with the new Double FF model for multiple hunters.

The new Double FF model is the next series of hard-sided, custom-made hunting blinds. This large, all-season model has the same mobile capabilities as the original one-man blinds, only with exterior dimensions that exceed 5’x7’x7’ for a two-, three- or even four-man hunting capacity.

With an almost indestructible HD Polyethylene plastic shell covered in Realtree® or Advantage® patterns, this blind will help shield you from the harsh elements for many seasons.

A vast interior allows the bowhunter to pull to full draw from within the blind. All models include black, gray or camo-covered interior, a full walk-in door, wheelchair accessibility and an aluminum window system. The window system includes camo-wrapped security panels, clear plex viewing windows, see-thru magnetic camo curtains and locking pins. A raised-interior floor section allows you to store items off of the floor.

Additional options and/or accessories include:

• Interior sprayed bed liner material
• Gear holders

• Lights
• Fans
• Gear hooks
• Bow/gun holders
• Interior/exterior storage box

The Double FF Blind’s mobility and capabilities are endless whether pulled by Darkwoods’ ATV Quick Hitch Trailer or moved by hand. Simply disconnect your ATV from the trailer, place jack stands and hunt directly off of the trailer; or slide the blind off of the trailer and onto the ground for ground-level hunting.

The Darkwoods Blind gives you the comfort and security of a box blind, the portability of a pop-up style blind and the freedom of a tree stand. That’s why the Darkwoods Blind is called “One-Man Hunting Mobility.”

Beaverton, Michigan – A-Way Hunting Products, Inc. has re-thought the hunting scent world once again - this time, with the introduction of a truly revolutionary new hunting scent – HOTT SHOT™. HOTT SHOT™ is a scientifically engineered scent designed to address many of the short falls of typical liquid scents.

Fred Abbas, Michigan’s all time #1 ranking trophy whitetail hunter, and Vice President of A-Way Hunting Products stated, “I understand the importance of using scents when hunting big game – HOTT SHOT™ was created in an effort to overcome the inherent limitations of most liquid scents on the market today.”

HOTT SHOT’s™ scientifically developed “All Weather” formula, allows the scent to resist water, stick to almost any surface, and perform well in temperatures as low as 17 degrees F. This unique formulation allows the scent to last for days instead of hours. In addition, the scent can be expelled up to 30 feet away to help limit the possibility of contaminating the scent site with human odor.

“We have been testing and perfecting this product for over 8 years”, stated product designer Eric Dixon, “Our field tests have proven time and again that HOTT SHOT™ has the ability to create the “fatal attraction” every hunter looks for.”

HOTT SHOT™ is available in Doe-N-Estrous, and Elk-N-Estrous scents.

Winchester’s New Safari Line Engineered For World’s Toughest Game

When Africa calls, so does the need for being equipped with the proper ammunition to take down the game on your hunting list—and being prepared for game that may not be. Winchester’s new Safari Ammunition line was engineered to not only tackle the toughest game in Africa and the rest of the continents with supreme confidence, but to provide performance and versatility in virtually any situation.

Offered in the venerable 375 H&H Magnum, 416 Rigby and 458 Winchester Magnum, as well as the 416 Remington Magnum cartridge, the new Winchester® Safari line makes the most of these popular and proven African cartridges by pairing them with the finest bullet choices available—Nosler® Partition® and the new Nosler Solid™.

Nosler Partition bullets—with copper alloy jackets and lead-alloy cores—have long been favored around the world for accuracy and terminal performance on game. The new Nosler Solids—featuring a unique design and homogenous lead-free alloy construction—provide spectacular penetration and an impressively straight wound channel on large, thick-skinned game.

According to Glen Weeks, Winchester Centerfire Product Manager, “The Safari line was developed to meet the most demanding hunting needs. Each of the cartridges in the line provides the energy and knockdown power needed for the largest and most dangerous game. The Partition offerings are ideal for dangerous, or large thinner skin game, while the Solids will offer maximum penetration on the toughest hide and bone.”

Winchester Safari Ammunition features nickel-plated cartridge cases and is packaged in reusable 20-round plastic boxes with labels featuring recently discovered vintage Winchester artwork. The line will be available summer 2008.

Kevlar® synthetic fiber helps Carbon Express® build the strongest arrow available on the market today.

Flushing, Michigan - Carbon Express®, the leading innovator of high performance carbon arrows, introduces the strongest arrow available on the market today – the Aramid KV™. The ultra strong Aramid KV™ utilizes Dupont Kevlar® to produce the ultimate hunting arrow. For years, Kevlar® from DuPont® has been used in body armor to protect military and law enforcement personnel from bullets. Now, this remarkably light yet incredibly strong synthetic fiber will help hunters shoot better—while setting a new standard in arrow technology, engineering and performance.

5 Times Stronger Than Steel. Pound for pound, Kevlar® fibers are 5x stronger than steel. To take advantage of Kevlar’s incredible strength, the Aramid KV™ is engineered with a layer of Kevlar® between carbon fibers. The result is an arrow that can withstand the force of impact from bone, trees and the ground while maintaining its spine integrity shot after shot after shot.

“This arrow represents the best in carbon arrow construction” commented Executive VP Lennie Rezmer, “We have been testing this arrow for months, and we are continually amazed at the strength the Kevlar® fiber provides.”

In addition to the revolutionary Kevlar® construction, the Aramid KV™ features the proprietary CX Built In Weight Forward™ technology, BullDog™ Nock Collars for added strength and protection; Blazer™ Vanes for added velocity and a Mossy Oak® Break-Up® camouflage finish.

As a premium arrow, the Aramid KV™ comes in laser matched Spine-Selected™ sets for even greater consistency and performance.

The product line, which consists of three beefy 30mm riflescopes - a 4.5-16×40mm (MRSP $529.95), a 6.5-25×44mm (MRSP $579.95) and an 8.5-32×52mm (MRSP $629.95) - is available immediately to members of the press for testing and will be unveiled to the public at SHOT Show in January 2008.

GAME FOR ALL SEASONS COOKBOOK, a new wild game cookbook by Jackson author Harold Webster, has been named an award-winning cookbook in the National “BEST BOOKS” 2007 Awards (BBA). Awards were presented for titles published in 2007 and late 2006.

Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO of USA Book News, says of the awards, “The 2007 results represent a phenomenal mix of books from a wide array of publishers throughout the United States.” Winners and finalists traversed the publishing landscape: Simon & Schuster, Penguin-Putnam, HarperCollins, Random House, McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin Co., John Wiley & Sons & hundreds of independent titles contributed to this year’s outstanding BBA competition. Keen adds, “BBA’s success begins with the enthusiastic participation of authors and publishers and continues with our distinguished panel of industry judges who bring to the table their extensive editorial, PR, marketing, and design expertise.”

In GAME FOR ALL SEASONS Webster, a veteran hunter, fisherman, and chef delights sportsmen and those who cook game with 292 seasonal recipes for venison, fish, fowl, and other delicacies from the field and waters. Included with the recipes are memoirs that chronicle Webster’s passion for hunting and fishing throughout his life. These vignettes-including The Long Walk with Jake, Young as a Spring Turkey, and Trash Fish or Southern Comfort-will entertain and educate with stories about the game being hunted, prepared and cooked.

Fans of Webster’s previous wild-game cookbooks and his popular newspaper column will recognize his expert advice on handling, preparing, and serving game. Webster knows that the sportsman’s experience doesn’t end when the gun or the fishing gear has been put away. The challenge and reward of the quest are continued when the game is prepared into fabulous meals to be shared with friends and family. When the gun, the gear, and the camo are off, sportsmen will find Game for All Seasons an essential resource for creating memorable meals from their bounty.

“I’m honored,” says Webster “for my book to be selected as winner in USA Book News Best Books Awards.” USABookNews.com is an online publication providing coverage for books from mainstream and independent publishers. JPX Media, in Los Angeles, California, is the parent company of USABookNews.com.

But with the hunting season already in full swing and freezers across the country filling up with wild game, the National Rifle Association has a gift idea that the whole family can enjoy this holiday season.

The second edition of the NRA Members’ Wild Game Cookbook, which is now available for purchase, serves up hundreds of original ideas for preparing wild meat and fish - all submitted by NRA members nationwide - that can make your holiday meals both merry and tasty.

The cookbook’s user-friendly format guides hunters through every step in the process of safely taking game from the field to the table. Highlights include easy-to-follow instructions and illustrations for field dressing and processing game animals and fish; nutritional values for a multitude of game meats; recipes organized by type of game (small game, birds, big game, and separate sections for venison and fish); and a section devoted to hunter safety and ethics.

The tried and true recipes found inside the cookbook’s nearly 400 pages are as thought-provoking as they are mouth watering. Recipes for traditional wild game fare - jerky, chili, stew, roasts and burgers - can be found amongst some of the most unique ideas you’ll find anywhere for serving wild meat. Whether you’re craving Marsala Hare, Beaver Pot Roast or Big Buck Chili, the cookbook has a recipe to satisfy every appetite.

The NRA Members’ Wild Game Cookbook is available for purchase through the NRA Program Materials Center by calling 1-800-336-7402 (ask for item number HS 05840), or by visiting http://materials.nrahq.org/go/product.aspx?productid=HS%2005840. The price is $14.95, plus shipping and tax.

Winchester® Ammunition is pleased to announce the new Theodore Roosevelt commemorative ammunition line. Celebrating 150 years of Roosevelt s influence and achievement as arguably the greatest conservation hero North America has ever produced. He was a champion of hunting and wildlife conservation.

The Theodore Roosevelt cartridges feature a nickel-plated shell casing bearing a special Roosevelt head-stamp in three popular calibers: 30-30 Win, 45 Colt and Roosevelt s favorite big bore lever-gun round, the 405 Winchester®. The most powerful cartridge ever chambered in a lever gun, the 405 was used extensively by Roosevelt during his 1909 - 1910 African safari. The 30-30 Winchester rounds are loaded with 150-grain Power-Point® bullets and the 405 Winchester with 300-grain jacketed flat point bullets: both are boxed in 20-round packages. The 45 Colt is loaded with a 250-grain flat nose lead bullet and comes in a 50-count box. All Theodore Roosevelt cartridges are packaged in collectible, foil-embossed boxes, each emblazoned with vintage Winchester artwork and photography.

Born in New York City on October 27, 1858, Roosevelt achieved fame as a hero of the Spanish-American War for helping organize and train the Rough Riders.  He served as a New York City police commissioner, a prolific author and was the twenty-sixth president of the United States, where he earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in resolving the Russo-Japanese War.

His politics were simple and straightforward, embodying the attitudes of hard work, American confidence, and most important to hunters and shooters, a modern-day conservation philosophy. Without Roosevelt, we would not be able to hike, camp, hunt and enjoy many of our national forests and parks.

The Theodore Roosevelt line of cartridges features:

• Nickel-plated shell casing bearing a special Roosevelt head-stamp 
• Collectible, foil-embossed boxes 
•  30-30 Win with 150-grain Power-Point bullets in 20-round box 
•  405 with 300-grain jacketed flat point bullets in 20 round box
• 45 Colt with 250-grain flat nose lead bullet and comes in a 50-count box

NEWTOWN, Conn. - The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) — the trade association of the firearms industry — applauded the decision by the United States Supreme Court to determine authoritatively whether the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides an individual right to keep and bear arms.

The U.S. Supreme Court granted a review of a decision from March by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in Parker, et al., v. District of Columbia (Circuit docket 04-7041) — a case that upheld the striking down of the District’s ban on private ownership of handguns while asserting that the Second Amendment provides an individual right to keep and bear arms. The case is now known as District of Columbia v. Heller. The mayor of Washington, D.C., Adrian M. Fenty, filed the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, setting the stage for the high court to rule. According to FBI statistics, Washington D.C., with its gun ban, ranks as one of the most dangerous cities in the United States and maintains one of the highest per-capita murder rates in the country.

“The firearms industry looks forward to the Supreme Court putting to rest the specious argument that the Second Amendment is not an individual right,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel. “This intellectually bankrupt and feeble argument has been used by gun control advocates to justify laws and regulations that deny Americans their civil right to own and lawfully use firearms for protection, hunting, sports shooting and other lawful purposes.

“The firearms and ammunition industry is unique in that our products are the means through which the Second Amendment right is realized,” continued Keane. “If there were no firearms and ammunition manufacturers, then the Second Amendment becomes an illusory right.”

While the Heller case will be the first time since 1939 that the Supreme Court has addressed the Second Amendment (U.S. v. Miller), the nation’s leading historians, legal scholars and constitutional experts are on record as having concluded that the Second Amendment provides an individual right. Such renowned scholars as Lawrence Tribe of Harvard, Akhil Reed Amar of Yale, William Van Alstyne of Duke and Sanford Levinson of the University of Texas have been vocal in their assertion that the Second Amendment secures an individual right to keep and bear arms.

“The government has powers, not rights,” added Keane. “The contention that the Second Amendment is a collective right of the government is completely without merit.”

BACKGROUND:
In March, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, in striking down the District’s gun ban, held in Parker, et al., v. District of Columbia that “The phrase ‘the right of the people’ . . . leads us to conclude that the right in question is individual.” This was the second time in recent history that a federal circuit court upheld the longstanding belief that the Second Amendment was an individual right. In 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in the case of U.S. v. Emerson that “All of the evidence indicates that the Second Amendment, like other parts of the Bill of Rights, applies to and protects individual Americans.”
