When extended travel is in the equation, bow and arrow protection is every bowhunter's "Job One." When it comes to protecting accessories, few do it better, and more affordably, than the MTM Case-Gard lineup from MTM Molded Prod- ucts (800-543-0548; www.mtmcase-gard. com). Especially handy is the full lineup of hard arrow and crossbow bolt cases that includes the Compact Arrow Case (36x7.5x3 inches holds up to 24 arrows); and the Arrow Plus Case (36x10x5) that holds up to 36 arrows with four accessory compartments. Both come in camo or clear smoke. Optics & AccessoriesAll Western hunters should know about quality Zeiss optics (wwwzeiss.com). The Victory 8x26 T* PRF ($700) is the world's \037 rst premium mon- ocular with digital laser range\037 nder, LED display with automatic brightness control, and integrated Ballistic Information System (BIS). It's ideal for hunters who demand optical excellence and pre- cise range\037 nding in a single, compact unit. The 8-power Victory PRF offers a 330-foot \037 eld of view and provides ranging from 10 to 1,300 yards using an invisible, eyesafe laser beam that helps provide accuracy of \261 1 yard at ranges up to 600 yards, and \261 0.5 percent at ranges beyond 600 yards. And it's fast. Measurements are dis- played within fractions of a second; wide varia- tions in temperature will not affect the measuring accuracy when used between 14\260 to 122\260 F. Some cool laser range\037 nder innovation is the new bow-mounted Vendetta range\037 nder ($300) from Leupold (www.leupold.com), which works off your sight's 20-yard pinand can save valu- able time used to operate a typical hand-held unit. By simply squeezing a pressure pad mounted on your bow's grip, you can range a target while at full draw, minimizing game-spooking movement. With a maximum range of 70 yards, the Vendetta also features a "one-touch scan mode" so you can range an animal as it approaches. The large LED display has a red \037 lter that makes it easy to see distance readings in various light conditions. Minimum range is 10 yards.
