NIKON INTRODUCES NEW LINE OF PREDATOR HUNTING RIFLESCOPES

Thanks to Nikon, predator hunters now have a choice of riflescopes built specifically for their unique needs. Paired with Nikon’s all new BDC Predator Hunting Reticle the new Coyote Special riflescopes are definitely at the top of the food chain.

Nikon’s patent pending BDC Predator Hunting Reticle utilizes ballistic circles with carefully researched spacing that is designed around the needs of predator hunters. The unique, open circle design does not obscure the target, making shots on a moving coyote simple.

“More and more predator hunters are demanding gear built for the sport they enjoy most,” said Jon LacCorte, Senior Product Marketing Manager. “It only makes sense for us to combine our BDC technology in a riflescope built just for the predator hunter.”

Each of the new Nikon Coyote Special riflescopes also includes ARD (Anti Reflective Device) technology that eliminates game-spooking objective lens glare, and are available in a choice of camouflage finishes.

Generous eye relief and Nikon’s legendary durability means predator hunters can depend on these scopes in any condition and on any hunt.  With Nikon’s multicoated lenses featuring 92% light transmission, the view is crystal clear at those critical first and last minutes of light.  The durable one-inch tube and hand turn 1/4 MOA adjustment mean simple, easy sight in sessions and scopes they stay on target.

The new Coyote Special riflescopes are available in two power ranges and two camo options to match any terrain or riflescope need. For hunts that take place in more open country the 4.5-14X40 gives the power range necessary to make the longer shots while thick cover hunters will enjoy the wide field-of-view the 3-9X40 offers.

The 3-9X40 with BDC Predator Hunting Reticle in Realtree Advantage Max 1 or Mossy Oak Brush has an MSRP of $279.95. The 4.5-14X40 with Predator Hunter BDC in Realtree Advantage Max 1 or Mossy Oak Brush has an MSRP of $349.95. Both models will be on dealer shelves by late spring 09.

Nikon also offers matching camouflage scope rings in the Advantage Max 1 and Mossy Oak Brush patterns.

Nikon Inc. is the U.S. distributor of Nikon sports and recreational optics, world-renowned Nikon 35mm cameras, digital cameras, speedlights and accessories, Nikkor lenses and electronic imaging products.

PRESS RELEASE COURTESY HOWARD COMMUNICATIONS

Howard Communications Congratulates Toxey Haas
On Being Named To Outdoor Life’s Top 25

Toxey Haas has been named one of Outdoor Life’s top 25 influential conservationists and leaders in the outdoor industry by the editors of the magazine.

“I can’t think of a person more deserving of this honor than Toxey,” says Kevin Howard, President of Howard Communications, Inc. “The goal of every man should be to leave this world a better place than they find it. Toxey Haas, his Father, Fox, and their family are achieving that goal through their work with the Mossy Oak brand of companies they developed.”

When an outdoorsman thinks of Mossy Oak, the first thing that comes to their mind is the line up of Mossy Oak camouflage patterns that have dominated the outdoor clothing and accessory lines for a number of years. The Mossy Oak patterns are available on thousands of products from clothes and other soft goods to hard goods like bows and guns. However, Mossy Oak is much more than camouflage patterns.

Toxey Haas has developed a number of other Mossy Oak Brand divisions that are helping the outdoor enthusiast enjoy their lifestyle even more while protecting and promoting these resources for generations to come.

Mossy Oak BioLogic Wild Game Products have put Haas at the forefront of the game-management movement. A new division called Nativ Nurseries is leading the way in terms of developing superior trees and plants for wildlife. Mossy Oak Properties helps provide an avenue for people looking for land to purchase for outdoor recreation to find those who have land for sale through a network of real estate offices.

“Toxey started Mossy Oak with the intent of finding a way to get closer to wildlife.” Says Howard, “That obsession has led him to develop not only great camouflage patterns, but ways to provide better habitat and wildlife management practices. His work is changing the future of both outdoor people and wildlife.”
