Insight Technology Sponsors Night Match at Day-Night-Day

LONDONDERRY, NH (October, 2009) Insight Technology, the world’s leading provider of tactical lasers, illuminators and thermal imaging equipment, will be the title sponsor of the evening portion of the Day-Night-Day match being held December 12-13 at The Range in Oxford, N.C.

The Day-Night-Day match is comprised of three separate events and competitors compete in one, two or all three events. The Insight Technology Night Championship will be held on the evening of Saturday, December 12 and limited to 80 shooters.

“We’re excited to be the premier sponsor of the Insight Technology Night Championship – the night portion of the match. For more than 20 years Insight has been making products to help the warfighter, law enforcement officer and responsible citizen dominate the darkness, and now we add the competition shooter to that list,” said Paul Erhardt of Insight Technology.

During the Insight Technology Night Championship competitors will negotiate six challenging courses of fire under the low light conditions of the winter evening sky. Insight products will be incorporated into the match giving competitors the opportunity to test the equipment under the stressful conditions of real world scenarios.

“Our night match is one of the few true low light outdoor matches in the country making it a big draw for serious handgun competitors, bringing in shooters from the IDPA, USPSA and ICORE disciplines. The night match is approaching its 20th anniversary and we’re proud to have Insight Technology joining as our title sponsor. We expect this year’s match to be the best ever,” said Scott Ruby, sponsor coordinator for the Day-Night-Day match.

The Range is widely regarded in the competition community for the quality of its matches and challenging course designs. It is also home to the Carolina Cup, one of the three major matches on the IDPA circuit.

More than 18,000 rounds will be put downrange across all three matches as competitors compete for titles in two divisions – Weapon Mounted Lights or Handheld Lights.

Leupold Introduces New Northfork Binocular Line

Company’s First Slim Hinge Design

BEAVERTON, OR- Leupold has combined premium features and advanced optical performance with a sleek, single-hinge design in its newest line of binoculars, the Northfork Series.

The binoculars’ futuristic design incorporates a single, slim hinge near the eyecups – similar to an open-bridge style without a hinge near the objective lenses. This configuration allows for an increased level of comfort and ergonomics since both hands can wrap around the barrels.

“The design of the Northfork makes them very comfortable to operate for extended periods in the field,” said Mike Slack, Leupold’s marketing communications manager. “Observationists get premium quality and image clarity at a mid-level price.”

The Northfork line features 45mm objective lenses and Super High Reflection prism enhancement. Combined with a fully multi-coated lens system and additional anti-reflection coatings on the BAK4 prisms, the binoculars provide hunters with a sharp, bright image in virtually any light or weather condition. The Northfork’s long eye relief makes them ideal for any hunter with or without eyeglasses. With a close focus of less than 10 feet and an angular field of view of more than six degrees, the Northfork is versatile enough to meet the needs of everyone from backyard birders to hardcore naturalists.

Models available include 8.5×45mm or 10.5×45mm with either black or Mossy Oak Break-Up armor coating. The binoculars include a case, padded-edge neoprene neck strap, and eyepiece and objective lens covers. The Northfork is protected by the Leupold Green Ring Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Leupold Blends Modern Technology With Classic Look In New Rogue Binocular Line

BEAVERTON, OR- Knowing that many hunters prefer the look of a traditional binocular, Leupold introduces its newest line of binoculars, the Rogue Series. The binoculars have the traditional look of a Porro prism design with modern features for enhanced optical performance.

Leupold® Introduces New Open-Bridge Mojave™ Binoculars:

Lightweight Design, Heavy-Hitting Performance

BEAVERTON, OR – Leupold has dropped weight without sacrificing optical performance with the introduction of the company’s first ever open-bridge line of binoculars, the Green Ring Mojave.

Available in either 8×42mm or 10×42mm models, the Mojave’s open-bridge design drastically reduces the binocular’s weight to a mere 23 ounces. The design also improves the ergonomics of the binoculars making them incredibly comfortable and easy to hold during extended use.

“Holding binoculars to your eyes should not be part of a workout regimen, but that’s often what it feels like with other binoculars,” said Mike Slack, Leupold’s Marketing Communications Manager. “The Green Ring Mojave binoculars are easy on hunters’ arms and still provide a bright, crisp image.”

The Mojave binoculars also feature multi-coated optics for a bright sight picture with the contrast and color fidelity needed to make positive identifications. Additionally, the line’s silver enhanced, cold-mirror coatings provide exceptional performance in low-light situations. And with eye relief of either 16 or 18 millimeters depending on model, the binoculars are as easily used with or without eyeglasses.

The binoculars include a case, padded-edge neoprene neck strap, eyepiece and objective lens covers. The Mojave also features the Leupold Green Ring Limited Lifetime Warranty and is available in either black or Mossy Oak Treestand armor coatings.

The new Treestand pattern utilizes the same silhouette-altering technology found in all the Mossy Oak patterns. It was designed specifically for hunting from an elevated position, effectively erasing the outline of an elevated hunter among the bare limbs of a late fall tree.
