Up North Journal would like to thank Scott Briner of DragonFire ThermoGrips for becoming our newest sponsor for the UNJ team. “DragonFire ThermoGrip” produces a heated hand grip and stabilizer for your bow! You will see this product on the UNJ team’s bows this year on the ranges and in the field.
Their stabilizer which doubles as the battery pack has been put through rigorous testing and has come out on top in dampening and vibration canceling qualities against some of the best stabilizers on the market. The thermo grip will provide up to three hours of warmth, it has two settings to provide a comfortable amount of warmth to your hand depending on the conditions. Set it on high for cold conditions or choose the low setting for those cool mornings and evenings.
Don’t get caught with your bow on the hook because your hands are cold.

It isn’t going to be long until turkey season is upon us! With that in mind, we stopped at the Quaker Boy booth at this year’s ATA show in Columbus, Ohio! Dave Streb who is the VP of Sales and Marketing demonstrated a new turkey vest for us during an interview with him. This new vest isn’t just a vest for turkey hunting, it doubles as a guile suit for the complete concealment package while running and gunning for those big spring gobblers! Take a look at the Vest-A-Blind in the video we produced covering just one of the hot new products from the 2010 ATA show!
MEMPHIS, Mich., G5® Outdoors, the leading manufacturer in archery equipment and design, introduces its newest expandable broadhead – the T3TM. This new 100% steel broadhead features 3 expandable blades to produce a 1.5″ wound channel.
“The new design of the T3TM eliminates the shortfalls and failings that are common with other brands of expandables,” stated G5 Outdoors President and Co-Owner, Matt Grace. “In addition, the T3TM features a first of its kind blade retention system the Spider ClipTM.”
The broadhead includes the new Spider ClipTM blade retention system. This system allows the shooter to tune their blade deployment based on their hunting scenario. Each package of broadheads comes with 2 different tension clips. One clip provides easier deployment for use with lower poundage bows. The second has a stronger tension setting for use with high speed bows, crossbows, and for shooting through blind windows. In addition, the Spider Clips eliminate the need for rubber bands or O-rings. The new Spider Clip retention system also eliminates any risk of blade pre-deployment.
With its Metal Injection Mold Technology, 100% steel construction, field tip accuracy, truly replaceable blades and 1.5″ cutting diameter the big cut expandable T3TM leaves a blood trail that looks like a red carpet leading to your harvest.
MSRP for the T3TM is $39.99 Replacement blades are $19.99 and replacement spider clips are $12.99.

In the last few years there has been much ado about nothing over the fear that a new tool would destroy our outdoor heritage. Much of what we heard was due to fear of the unknown, we tend to be afraid of what we don’t know instead of investigating and then making an informed decision or opinion on the subject. The famous quote “we have nothing to fear, but fear itself” stands true in this situation! Read the rest of this entry »
Dead Down Wind has come up with a new way to make field spray easy for those outdoorsmen who travel. It eliminates the need to try to pack a bottle of field spray for a long trip, besides you cannot take a large bottle of liquid on a plane anymore.
This new Pac-it system consists of three packages of field spray mix. You take any water from the tap or in the field as long as it doesn’t have algea or pond scum floating in it, and mix 11 ounces of water with the contents of the package! By doing that you now have 12 ounces of field spray for your hunt. What could be easier to use?
I just recently talked with fellow Up North Journal pro staff member Jim Stephan wh0 was worried how he would take field spray on his trip this fall back to Michigan for the firearm deer season. I mentioned this product to him and he was glad to know that he could pick this up and not have to worry about boarding a plane back home. Check out Dead Down Wind’s site to learn more about this easy to use product.
