Crossbow hunting is here to stay, love it or hate it. What used to be a specialty item reserved for disabled hunters has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the hunting world.

The crossbow’s design hasn’t changed over the thousand or so years it has been around. Of course, the addition of cams added a new level of efficiency but the main design didn’t change until recently with the innovation of the reverse draw crossbow.

While the high cost creates a barrier of entry to people wanting to upgrade to the new design, the radical new version of the crossbow is gaining traction.

Read full version of article here: https://outdoorempire.com/infrared-illuminator-for-nv/

Do you need an infrared illuminator? If you plan to use night vision, then yes. Regardless of the type of night vision device you want to use, it is a handy and beneficial gizmo to have.

Review: ATN NVB5X-2 Night Vision Binoculars

Read full review here: https://outdoorempire.com/review-atn-nvb5x-2/

Unlike normal binoculars, NV binocs can’t have something crazy like a 20 power magnification.

Instead, you are typically isolated to less than 5 power. At the same time, they are the clearest option for magnified viewing. They are clearer and provide a wider field of view than NV monoculars.

NV field glasses are often expensive because it uses two separate intensifier tubes to provide two-eye outputs. ATN avoids this by offering a single eye output. This reduces the cost significantly. I’m talking several thousand dollars cheaper than two-eye output options.

One of the best sets of night vision binoculars is the ATN NVB5X-2. They provide a very clear and very consistent picture. Plus, they’re affordable.
