For the month of August we’re giving away a set of NRA Fold Up Decoys (FUDs) and Final Approach’s new waterfowl hunter’s backpack, quite possibly the roomiest hunting backpack you’ll ever own.

The NRA FUD is the official decoy of the NRA. FUDs fold flat and can be carried into the field hands-free, making bulky decoy bags a thing of the past. These decoys take up very little space in a boat or pickup, and when you’re done they store easily on a hook. Once in the field, it takes just seconds to fold them into lifelike, three-dimensional, full-bodied decoys. The set of six Canadas we’re giving away retails for $90 and comes with anchors, anchor lines, a carry hook, and a manual on decoying tips and tactics.

As the NRA is a shareholder in NRA FUD, Inc., proceeds from the sale of these decoys helps NRA defend hunting rights. Visit www.nrafud.com today for an informational video. NRA FUD Inc. is actively seeking dealers to help sell the NRA FUD product line. Any interested party can contact Tom Kanalas, VP of Sales & Marketing, at (517) 569-3164 for more information.

Final Approach

The folded size is 8”H x 15.5”W x 10”D. When open, the bag measures 6”H x 31”W x 5”D.

Final Approach Eliminator Cargo Blind

Final Approach

Overland Park, KS. --(AmmoLand.com)- Successful waterfowl hunters know that mobility is the key to success particularly late in the season after birds have been pressured. The new Eliminator Cargo Blind (E.C.B.) from Final Approach makes it easy to move all your gear – ground blind, decoys, guns, etc. – with minimal effort.

The Eliminator Cargo Blind (E.C.B.) is a full-featured ground blind with removable wheels that will carry up to a dozen full body decoys, four dozen silhouettes or over 200 rag decoys, plus your gun, flags and other gear. The blind is built on a lightweight, collapsible aluminum frame so it won’t rust. Just attach the wheels, roll it out to your favorite field and set up your decoy spread. No need to make multiple trips. If the action moves to another location, you can be on your way within minutes.

The ground blind is constructed with durable 600-denier poly fabric with a waterproof coating for extra protection from the elements. The base of the blind uses ¾-inch closed cell foam to insulate the user from head to toe against wet and cold. For extra comfort and convenience, the blind has fast-access flagging holes on each side, a padded head and gun rest, built-in gun scabbard for transporting shotgun and a roomy interior.

When set up, the Eliminator Cargo Blind (E.C.B.) has a very low profile for better concealment. It features the original FA double lid system for fast shooting access and Stubble Straps for attaching natural cover. At the end of the day, it can be easily cleaned out with the quick-zippered foot pouch.

Final Approach

Overland Park, KS. --(AmmoLand.com)- Waterfowl hunters for years have used more than one species of ducks in their decoy spreads to add variety and to appeal to several different ducks in their hunting area.

Even when one species is more prevalent in an area, adding a different species to the edge of a spread can help give wary birds confidence that what they are seeing is real.

Pintail and Wood Duck decoys have been the most requested decoys from Final Approach customers. These two decoys are being added to the Final Approach line in 2009.

The Wood Duck species has benefited from a number of efforts to build the population over the last twenty years. Today, you will see Wood Duck nesting boxes around lakes, ponds and along streams and rivers all over the country.

These efforts to provide this most colorful duck a place to nest have paid huge dividends with populations continuing to hold steady and in many areas increase.

The new Wood Duck decoys from Final Approach look so close to the real thing that they are hard to distinguish on the water. They come packed six to a box with two hen and four drakes. Weighted keels keep the decoys upright in a perfect position on the water.

The addition of Pintail decoys is especially effective when mixed in with a set made up mostly of Mallard decoys. In the western part of the US and Canada some hunters like to use larger numbers of these decoys in areas where the Pintail make up a bigger percentage of the duck population.

The new Pintail decoys from Final Approach duplicate the real bird down to the distinctive long tail feathers the Pintail is named after. Like other decoy models, the Pintail has a vivid paint scheme and is most lifelike in shape and size. They also have weighted keels to keep the decoys upright and in good position on the water. They come packed six to a box with four drake and two hen models.
