The new BX-2 Alpine binocular has been designed from the ground up to deliver the relentless optical performance that Leupold products are known for - all in a package that’s firmly value-priced. The 10x42mm Alpine is ready to deliver world-class optical performance and features Leupold’s Twilight Max Light Management System, the same system that’s used by the company’s award-winning VX-3i and VX-3i LRP riflescope lines. The Twilight Max Light Management System is designed to allow users to glass longer during the early predawn hours to well past dusk. Further features include a rugged magnesium chassis that is designed to mount easily with a 1/4 - 20 threaded tripod adapter. The lenses are treated with DiamondCoat2 abrasion-resistant coating to prevent glare and enhance visibility in critical low-light situations. They're extreme climate tested and verified, and are 100% fog proof and waterproof – ensuring that the Alpine can go anywhere that you can.
The truck already had a name for itself, at least on Instagram, where Pierce started @the_Pandra and shared photos (while gathering a good community of followers).
The Pandra vaulted into truck immortality when the fires started and Pierce took it upon himself to step up. He used his vehicle and his fortitude to get himself to safety on two separate occasions, then helped evacuate a local hospital.

Step to Finishing Up Your
Off-Road Build
As his town was burning around him, the truck was dealing with its own share of abuse. The melted taillight covers, the plastic that began to drip away, and the toasted marshmallow paint job are the visible scars that the Tundra suffered, but the integrity of the truck survived.
The only exterior portion of the truck that was virtually unaffected by the heat and the flames was the DECKED Storage System he had installed in the bed.
When DECKED and Toyota heard about The Pandra's story, they both paid back the selflessness with replacements.
The Pandra now sits in Toyota's Plano, Texas corporate headquarters as a testament to the toughness Pierce, his truck, and his DECKED system showed
that day.
Not only did DECKED replace the system for Pierce's new truck, but they also donated the amount of his first system to the GoFundMe page set up by his friends.
Pierce likes to think he did what anyone would do, and focuses on what's important. The Pandra helped him set up a triage station on the hospital's helipad, where he and his fellow rescuers watched the city succumb to the flames. Once his family was safe and his duty at the hospital fulfilled, Pierce became reflective.
He knew saving things like his photographs, written song lyrics, and treasured guitars was most crucial. Anything else could be replaced. What couldn't was the history of his town, the people who made it their home. Luckily, he and The Panda were there to help preserve some of that.

GET TO KNOW RISING COUNTRY ARTIST CB30
Wide Open Spaces caught up with Riggs, who just released his new EP Love & Panic, in Nashville. The emerging start talked about finding balance in an often hectic career — while fishing the Cumberland River, just steps from downtown Nashville.
Sam Riggs spent much of his upbringing enjoying the outdoors. “It was a real musical family, real rural family,” Riggs says. “Kind of grew up blue collar, so being in the woods and fishing was always a big part of my life.”
He learned a lot about fishing from his granddad, who was a preacher and fished “religiously,” Riggs says. As an artist who built his fan base by touring relentlessly, Riggs has seen a lot of the country. “It’s the most amazing job in the world,” he says.
And for an artist as passionate as Riggs, spending a little bit of time by the water certainly helps replenish all that energy spent performing across the country night in and night out. Even if it means just pulling a Zebco rod out from behind his seat and stealing away for an hour.
BX-2 Alpine 42mm Binocular
The RX-FullDraw line has always found a home with our nation’s archers and the new RX-FullDraw 3 keeps that trend rolling. Built for the bowhunter, the RX-FullDraw 3 with the DNA engine is accurate to within ½-yard out to 1300 yards and includes archery ballistics out to 175 yards, which gives you an accurate shoot-to distance that compensates for angles. Greater accuracy means more clean kills – the goal for any archer. It sports 6x magnification and a high-contrast, black LCD display. It also comes with Leupold’s Trophy Scale for instant and accurate width/height measurements on the animals you harvest. The entire package meets Leupold’s legendary reliability standards and is 100% waterproof.
If you're also a rifle hunter you should check out the RX-1300i TBR. It delivers an accuracy of ½ yard all the way out to 1300 yards, comes with bow mode, and boasts rifle ballistics groups that will give you a True Ballistic Range (TBR) out to 800 yards.
RX-FullDraw 3 with DNA Laser Rangefinder
The LTO-Tracker 2 HD is a powerful handheld thermal device that’s destined to become essential gear. It uses an advanced thermal sensor to extend its detection range out to 750 yards overall and 300 yards on deer-sized game. Compact and lightweight, it’s the perfect choice for even the farthest backcountry hunt. The LTO-Tracker 2 HD shows you the heat signature of game, blood trails, and more – day or night. Designed to extend usability into the midday hours and help hunters locate downed game more efficiently than ever before, the all-new “Beacon” mode quickly recalibrates the screen for increased detection in hot environments. When activated in one of three Hi-Bright screen colors, Beacon mode detects the warmest object in the active image and rebalances all the Hi-bright colors back down to grayscale. Always check your local rules and regulations before using in the field.
