ALPS OutdoorZ New DEADQUIET® Ember Handwarmer in stock and ready to ship

NEW HAVEN, Missouri – ALPS OutdoorZ, the leading manufacturer of heavy-duty hunting backpacks and outdoor gear, has the solution for those chilly hours at the hunting stand called the DEADQUIET® Ember Handwarmer. This hand warmer works in conjunction with the equally new DEADQUIET® Shield Bino Harness or as a standalone product to help keep your hands warm and ready when temperatures drop.

ALPS OutdoorZ developed the new DEADQUIET® Ember Handwarmer with two key goals in mind: maximum warmth and comfort in frigid conditions, and zero noise to avoid alerting game animals to the hunter’s presence. Both goals were achieved thanks to ALPS OutdoorZ’s patented DEADQUIET® technology.

This revolutionary performance comes courtesy of the hand warmer’s three-layer construction. The fleece outer layer absorbs the sound of friction to allow quiet movement in the mount or when still hunting. Next up is a waterproof internal membrane that keeps your hands dry in rainy or snowy conditions. Finally, there’s an internal chamois fabric that adds another layer of weather protection and further minimizes noise, such as when inserting or removing your hands. To keep cold air out and warm air in, the DEADQUIET® Ember Handwarmer features a concealed cuff design that closes effectively around the wrists.

Hunters who use binoculars on the stand or while still hunting can use the DEADQUIET® Ember Hand Warmer in conjunction with the new DEADQUIET® Shield Binocular Harness. For individual use, the hand warmer comes with a folding belt that adjusts from 29 to 49 inches. For added warmth, tuck HOTHANDS® into the included envelope-style magnetic pocket.

SAF BRIEF FILE IN 5TH CIRCUIT CASE RE: WEAPONS AND ‘CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES’

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus curiae brief in a case that could overturn bans on firearms possession by people who use intoxicants or controlled substances because such laws violate the right to possess and carry arms.

The case is known as United States v. Daniels. SAF filed the brief in response to the unusual request by a three-judge panel in the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit following oral arguments, which were heard on June 5. who wish to provide relevant information on the history and tradition of restrictions on the use and possession of firearms in relation to the issues raised in this case. Of particular interest are the historical weapons regulations applicable to intoxicated or disabled persons. The writings had to be submitted before July 6.

“We’re not advocating for or against specific laws,” explained SAF executive director Adam Kraut, who is a practicing lawyer. “The Fifth Circuit panel requested briefings on historic bans, and our response is written solely to address that question. Long story short, we couldn’t find any historical gun regulation that would essentially strip someone of their Second Amendment rights for life, because they may have been under the influence of or affected by an intoxicating substance.”

As the 31-page report notes, “Having set the stage for the proper analytical framework, attention must be paid to this nation’s non-existent history and tradition of disarming people who, at some indefinite time, may have been intoxicated. ”. The brief was prepared and filed by attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik of Bochner PLLC in New York.

“This case raises a significant issue regarding the lifetime loss of Second Amendment rights,” said SAF Founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “The Court requested amicus curiae briefs regarding the historical analogues, and we are happy to oblige.”

Science, Natural Selection, and a Bladed Jig for the Ages

Z-Man® Details New, Highly Evolved ChatterBait® Elite EVO™

Through generations, natural selection favors those species with superior genes and adapted traits that coexist with their environment. The process is always advancing, gradually progressing towards perfection. Filter and refine the smartest and most valuable assets. Discard the foreign stuff. And ultimately augment and expand those essential ‘building blocks’ of DNA.

The superior species of bladed jig since day one, the Z-Man ChatterBait continues to evolve and deliver mind-blowing fishing experiences. Always on the cusp of bladed bass jigs, Z-Man has renewed his status as the leader once again as he prepares to unleash the fully empowered instruments. ChatterBait® Elite EVO™.

Built with upgrades to the max, the new Z-Man ChatterBait Elite EVO is a next-level bladed jig built with highly evolved bass-catching DNA, plus enough little tricks to electrify even a jaded bass professional. Shaped and developed in response to bass behavior and the instinct of the angler, the ChatterBait Elite EVO reflects decades of original thinking on blade design, hook configuration and jig head, and how all the moving parts come together to offer a smooth but action packed fishing.

“Years of fine-tuning the bladed jig design have paid off,” reveals Stephen Browning, MLF touring bass pro and Z-Man connoisseur. “ChatterBait Elite EVO is already bringing amazing rewards; the big basses are inhaling it with authority. Simply a smart, well-built, professional-grade template that’s packed with every upgrade imaginable. I think fishermen will also like the price.”

For Browning, one of the greatest ChatterBait tacticians of all time, the ‘fishability’ factor comes first. When asked to isolate a singular salient feature, his response is immediate. “I can confidently say that the Elite EVO is the easiest ChatterBait to use yet. Like the JackHammer™, the EVO’s blade kicks hard and pulses right into your hands with that first revolution of the reel handle. Considering its manageable price, it’s the closest we’ve come to building the perfect blade jig, and that’s saying something.”

Z-Man Director of Product Development José Chávez highlights key assets such as the patented direct lure-to-blade connection. “Similar to all Z-Man ChatterBaits, the Elite EVO’s fishing ability comes down to critical and subtle details developed over decades of research and development on the water and in the lab. It’s not just one element of the lure, but all the moving parts working together and converging to create the best experience for the angler, from kickstart blade vibration to random hunting action, resistance to hitches and even trailer performance. It’s all a function of precision: high-quality components ordered exactly, that’s the essence of the ChatterBait Elite EVO.”

Paired with proven assets, like a trademark hex-shaped ChatterBlade®, the ChatterBait Elite EVO sports a completely new head design. “We sculpted the head to move with a knuckleball effect, promoting an easy hunting action,” Chavez notes. “It has a blunt nose with a streamlined top and side sculpt, so when the lure tries to hunt, it can do so freely and erratically.”

“For me, the head design makes the lure work better, provides a loose, flowing action,” says Browning, fresh off a week-long ChatterBait spree. “The lure veers off unpredictably and then snaps back to center. All the while, the blade constantly breaks the head of the jig, emitting another dimension of sound beyond the vibration of the blade.

Z-Man’s new ChatterBait Elite EVO will launch on next week’s ICAST show.

“Another cool trick. . . Equipping the lure with the new ChatterSpike™, a subtle pintail-style trailer with sweet tail flick, I found that no two casts with the EVO perform exactly the same. Sometimes the lure works as well as it can be. Other throws, at exactly the same speed, EVO darts and dips, exhibits a strong zig and zag Hunting Action – Always a powerful trigger for bass that many other bladed jigs have seen.

Further bolstering the lure’s easy-to-use assets, Z-Man implemented a new hybrid “split grip” and double tow design. “EVO’s retainer system includes a molded trailer retainer and a wire on the hook shank. It makes mounting a soft plastic trailer a hundred times easier and even allows you to remove it without ruining it, especially if it’s ElaZtech®. The molded portion of the gate ‘opens the front door’ at the trailer head, while the wire gate locks it firmly in place. It is the smartest solution to date for effortlessly handling ElaZtech or any other ChatterBait trailer.”

For optimal flash and ripple, the lure’s 100% silicone skirt is wire-tied for superior longevity. Skirt patterns have been hand selected by Z-Man’s professional team, color matched to the sculpted head of the lure for the perfect natural appearance and presentation.

Durable metal-plated and glitter finishes add new flash patterns to the classic ChatterBlade for catching fish.

Moving from the head to the tip of the hook, the ChatterBait Elite EVO features a completely custom 5/0 heavy-duty black nickel hook, expertly modified by Browning himself. “Designing a better ChatterBait hook was a labor of love,” he says. “But the endgame was to address a complaint I hear on the fairway, which is how easy it is to release a lure that snags on wood or grass. By elongating the rod a mere quarter of an inch, it puts enough distance between the head and the point of the hook to effortlessly move and release the lure when hung. That adjustment alone makes all the difference in the world, and adds to the ease and joy of fishing the lure for everyone.”

To hook up and hold the bass even better, Browning slightly increased the lug and pushed it back slightly towards the bend. “Just like with a hook, I believe the size and position of the barbs is an important factor in hooking and keeping bass fixed, giving the angler more control over a big fish without fear of losing it on a jump, etc It’s just one more critical adjustment. in the evolution of the ChatterBait design,” suggests Browning.

The driving force behind every Z-Man ChatterBait, a trademark hex-shaped ChatterBlade moves, rotates and oscillates freely, with a big, bold vibration that draws its power from the direct connection between the blade and the head, free of rings. superfluous matches or other gimmicks that dampen the action. . Stainless steel blades on the ChatterBait Elite EVO sport next-level metal plated, painted and gloss coated finishes for exceptional light refraction and durability.

A double molded and cable keeper system ensures easy mounting and a rock-solid trailer connection.

Summarizes Browning: “By putting bladed jig design under a microscope, from both the angler’s and bass’s perspective, we’ve uncovered decisive details that have culminated in a lure that performs on every level. The ChatterBait Elite EVO provides anglers with a superior user experience: powerful quick-start vibration, unpredictable hunting action, and an amazing new towing system. It has become my new favorite ChatterBait on the 2023 Bass Pro Tour.”

Since its inception, the ChatterBait has taken anglers on a remarkable bass catching odyssey unlike any other lure in modern history. The next level of the bladed jig, the new ChatterBait Elite EVO is a highly evolved bass tool built with proprietary Z-Man engineering and time-tested big-fish attraction.

Ready to hit the water in October, the new ChatterBait Elite EVO comes in two sizes, 3/8 or 1/2 ounce, in twelve professional color patterns. Durable wire-tied silicone skirts are color-matched to each hydrodynamic head and complete with oversized 3D eyes. An improved line tie offers additional insurance. Stainless steel blades feature extra-durable plated, painted and bright finishes. MSRP $9.99. For more information, visit www.zmanfishing.com.
