Good morning Dave, the snippet I quoted is in the other article related to this and should have been included here too assuming they had done so at the time this was published. They should always ask for comment I think. Regardless, my guess is the lawyers wouldn't let them comment anyway. I'm a fan of Eastmans and KUIU so this is like watching your parents argue as a child. They could sure straighten this out with printing and postage records to match their media kit claims.
Respectfully sir, the author included the note in the article: [A call from one of goHUNT's reporters requesting an official comment from Eastmans' was not returned at the time of filing of this article.]
The itemized invoices from whoever prints their magazines and other materials plus postage documents will tell the story on this. Publishers hold back a certain amount for media kits, freebies, trade shows Etc but they'll either be able to document it or not. As a former publisher of real estate magazines I know that falsifying those US Postal forms has other ramifications too.
Nice work on the video! I hunt archery and rifle seasons. This year I wanted a new challenge and have focused my five hunts/tags on shooting ""longer range"" out beyond my comfort zone of 250-350 yards. It's a bit of a bottomless rabbit hole to build my skills and confidence. Long range to me this season will be stretching out to 450-500'ish yards. Today's production guns are leaps and bounds ahead of the production guns of twenty years ago; not like my dad's old 30-06. I had a 7mm Rem Mag built up by Proof Research this year. Out of the box it was shooting 1/4 MOA groups at 100. On the other hand it cost 6x-7x more than these nice Brownings. Most important to me is practicing several times a week in a variety of positions over and over to build my skills. I also just came back from four days of training at the Gunwerks school in Cody, WY. We shot out to 1000 there every day (using factory Hornady ammo BTW) and despite a nice certificate that says I can do it, there's no way I'm ready to take a 1000 yard shot at an animal even with no wind in a perfect setting. Herein lies the problem that most outfitters and others are reluctant to embrace long range hunting; they've seen too many hunters come out with expensive 1000 yard rifles and scopes but little to no practice with them. They've seen too many injured animals and wasted stalks. We are fortunate to have some great ranges here in Las Vegas. If you guys want to come out I can gather up some friends and a nice collection of custom rifles for a comparison review and test. Hit me up! Well done!

Budget 101: How to hunt elk every yearGood point Ernest, I've done well with Land Owner tags in NM. Pricey but it makes for a great hunt experience.
