Ameristep Distorter Ground Blind.
Ameristep Ground Blinds
Hunters who prefer ground blinds will have two new models from Ameristep to choose from this year, the Distorter and Deadwood Stump, both with a new internal hub design, which makes it easy to set up or take down the blinds, and have you hunting in minutes. A unique feature of the Distorter and Deadwood Stump blinds is the shape, which is not square or rectangular. It’s more of what Ameristep describes as a “kick out” design, which changes the silhouette of the blind, and is big enough for three hunters and their gear. Add native vegetation to brush it in and you’re ready for your next ambush. Info: www.Ameristep.com
Mossberg 930 Field Turkey Shotgun
Mossberg 930 Field Turkey Shotgun
This shotgun is a turkey hunter’s dream come true. This fully camouflaged autoloader features Bottomland camo, the original pattern that launched Mossy Oak more than 30 years ago. Combining bark, sticks and leaves, Bottomland blends in with a wide variety of environments where turkey like to hang out. This 930 has a versatile 26-inch vent rib barrel, topped with a fiber optic front sight, and equipped with an interchangeable ACCU-SET system of choke tubes (Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder) plus an X-FACTOR Ported XX-Full Turkey choke tube.

Winchester Ammo 20 Gauge LongBeard XR
It’s time to go farther with Winchester Longbeard XR — available in 20 and 12 gauge. Featuring Shot-Lok Technology, Longbeard XR delivers super tight patterns and long-shot capability — with twice the pellets in a 10-inch circle out to 60 yards as standard turkey loads. Longbeard XR has the knockdown power of heavier-than-lead loads at a fraction of the cost, meaning it’s a turkey-slamming game changer for hunters looking to push the limits. Info: www.Winchester.com
