 Brunton Scopes are used by the U.S. World Cup Team Coaches and there isn't a more reliabe scope out there. We deal with fog, blowing snow, and rain and Brunton Scopes allow us to see every shot. When every shot counts as much as it does in biathlon you can't trust your zeroing to just any scope. Brunton has helped us to match the top shooting on the World Cup time after time. We also use many of their other world class products like their GPS to help us find our way all around the world as well as their power sorces to help power the electonics we need to stay ahead of the game.

Don't leave home with out one!! Adventure Medical Kits are made for every kind of adventure including travel to foreign countries, backpacking, hiking, paddling, hunting, fishing, guide trips, and just about any outdoor sport or adventure. We use Adventure medical kits to patch road rash, fix blisters, remove cactus, & help protect us from germs while traveling, and to keep us well equipped for that chance of being stranded in the great outdoors. Biathlon has helped us to reach an extremely high level of fitness, with that, our training takes us farther back in the woods than we might normally reach and also to places that we might never get to visit on our own around the world. We don't leave home with out an Adventure Medical Kit, being prepared beats spending a cold night in the woods & or encountering unexpected illness while on the road.

What is elete™?
elete™ is a blend of concentrated electrolytes that can be added to water or any beverage. elete™ instantly delivers important electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, and sulfate to your body.

Electrolytes are lost through sweat during intense exercise and/or high temperatures. When electrolytes are depleted from your body, you become tired, cramp easily, and are at risk for dehydration. Replacing electrolytes is essential to keep your body hydrated, to enhance performance, and to help prevent muscle cramps. Electrolytes also help the brain and nervous system transmit and receive important signals and allow the muscles to contract and relax. Some studies show that electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium also support heart function.
 
Unlike most sports drinks, elete™ doesn't contain sugars, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. These extra ingredients can cause bloating, stomach cramps, and set off the gag reflex. elete™ delivers just pure electrolytes, so you're replacing only the things (i.e., fluid and electrolytes) you lose when you sweat. elete™ allows you the option of consuming carbohydrates in whatever way works best for you. elete™ is the only electrolyte-replacement formula compatible with hydration systems. Other products dye bladders, leave an unpleasant aftertaste, and are difficult to clean out of hydration systems. Cleaning elete™ from a hydration system is no different than cleaning after normal water use; elete™ leaves no residue behind. elete™ also provides electrolytes in significant quantities. Some sports drinks provide only minimal doses of electrolytes. elete™ contains an optimal balance of critical electrolytes.
