See What You've Been Missing With HiViz Sights

[Music] from care khou-tv one of the longest-running outdoor programs on television today exploring the country and the coast in search of adventures from the mountains of the Great Northwest to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean this is Americana outdoors presented by Garmin this week on Americana outdoors were exploring the use of sights on your firearms on the range and in the field with high vis shootin systems high vis was established in 1996 and over the course of their more than 20 years in business they've always had a vision to improve the sport of shooting and their innovative product line has cemented them as leaders in designing superior sights for the firearm industry to kick things off Trevor young and Lani barns are here to shed some light on high vis sight and later will be joining each of them on various hunts with high vis bikes on full display so high vis we make fiber optic and tritium gun sights for hanging on shotguns rifles and we have a very broad offering that's gonna have help you increase your shooting success experience and just hopefully make you a better shooter and have more fun at your shooting no matter what you do whether it's competition hunting or just recreational shooting when you compete at a really high level and sport you seek out the best possible equipment you can find and you know I try everything under the Sun and when I first started shooting handguns I had a hard time as a rifle shooter picking up on that front sight and not focusing down at the target and I discovered hive isn't it instantly it helped me pick up on that front sight better and I improve my handgun shooting tremendously just by changing out the sights and it was like that aha moment this is why I've been using a high vis sight on my shotgun all along because it works and this is why I'm gonna be using one from now on on my mom a handgun because it makes that big of a difference the philosophy behind our sights is just first off I dropped ik makes the sight more visible in most shooting circumstances seeing your sights better is just always gonna be a benefit so we you know started out with a magnetic shotgun site was first product I this started with and shotgun sites is really where we made most of our product innovation and expanded in a line four years and then we started to expand our handgun selection and then of course we went into tritium fibre optic for the handguns and most of those have been for semi-automatic handgun applications but we have some revolver applications too and I believe these are real benefit to hunters hunters need to be able to see that sight in the low light dark timber overall that is the design of the sights that we make is to allow you to have a better sight picture pick up the sights easier and faster no matter what kind of light conditions you are and what kind of shooting you're doing we put a lot of thought into how we engineer sights to try to make them durable and innovative and in what they do but also just easy to mount easy to use put in features that people want we put a lot of thought into whether it's shotgun sides or hangout sights or rifle into contours to take and sharp corners off you know so that the holster easy you won't have any snagging I really think that the the clean lines and the look that we have on a lot of our products is really the best you can get for me it's not just the amazing product but the people behind it as well there's really good people that make the products and I think that's that's what makes those products so great good quality and good people okay you have interest in our product so you can see in the eye this sights calm or give us a call if you have any questions on product selection let's take a look at one of their most popular sites the Lightwave h3 tritium like pipe here to talk with us about this incredibly versatile and durable pipe is professional competition shooter and holder of numerous World Records Jerry Miculek you don't want to think I found about the h3 like website is that as heavy-duty enough to use in competition and also for personal carry my open carry gun at home has the h3 light wave on it so I carry it every day when I'm at home it's rugged enough it's has a steel housing around it it's well protected if you were to drop it it still survives and of course it has a tritium feature and you can see it both of the low-light and of course the bright daytime so the whole idea about a high visibility sight is that you can reference in a short period of time and still index and make a good line shot and be efficient and in competition of course it has a square frame on it and what I like about that it's just like shooting a post front side so if I'm making a really good hard shot say 40 50 yards I have a good reference or with a square notch and a square blade and you can do that also so it's just an all-around sight good to get the job done I would have to say probably the most important feature of the h3 tritium sight it helps their own arrange produce out of the host and make a very consistently fast first shot and in competition every shot matters and that first one out of the holster is extremely important get you on target you can follow through and make a good shot to learn more about the Lightwave h3 tritium light pipe and add this rugged tool to your arsenal visit high-vis sites dot-com while coming up we're heading over the shot show where we'll learn what's new with high vis and later we'll get the rundown on another set of sites that

welcome back to Americana outdoors we're at the hive is shooting systems booth for shot show 20/20 getting an insider look at the brand-new products they have in store for us this year hi Trevor young here with harvest shooting systems like to show you some of the new products we have for 2022 years ago we introduced our fiber optic tritium handgun sights the Lightwave h3 and this year we're introducing an express sight version of that type of sight the Express sight has a low V notch rear sight and around front sight the sight alignment is the front sight placed right at the bottom of the V on the rear sight I believe this is one of the fastest sights to acquire and the most natural so for 2020 we're introducing the Express sight set for glock and MMP shield and will probably be adding more models we encourage you to check it out come to our website hi vis sights calm a lot of you are probably familiar with high vis for our shotgun sights this year we're bringing out a version of our cop sight and this is our light wave h3 comp sight which combines tritium and fiber optic the idea behind this was primarily for hunting low light early morning especially water Fowler's a lot of times you have a hard time seeing the sight and we thought why not incorporate tritium with the fiber-optic sight the tritium is a self illuminated light source and we embedded inside the fiber it gives you 24 hour early mination so in low-light transitional light you're never gonna lose visibility of the sight and it's going to allow you to always see it always know where your muzzle is in any light condition whether it's hunting low-light recreational shooting target sports and help you acquire your target faster for more information on our new light wave comp h3 visit us at hi vis sites comm or your local retailer we've been making front sights for Smith & Wesson revolvers and a number of other revolvers for years and now we're introducing a rear sight for Smith & Wesson revolvers we developed a Smith & Wesson rear sight to both look and fit and function just like a factory sight so much so that we use Smith & Wesson hardware so the windage screw elevators screw mount screw these are all factory Smith & Wesson parts to make this site fit and feel like a factory sight it's going to work like a factory Smith & Wesson site but it's gonna be a step above it's got an interchangeable fiber optic colors which is a handgun hunter to me are really important because when you get in blinds early morning afternoon low-light timber you need to be able to see those sights and with fiber-optic front and rear you're gonna be able to see them for more information on fit for both the rear sights for smith & wesson revolvers and the front sights or any high vis products check us out on our website at hi vis sights comm or your local retailer hi this shooting systems has always focused on creating better brighter performing sights for their customer base and these new additions to the high biz lineup are no exception to their high standards let's head back over to the shooting range at camp where Trevor young and Lanny barns are taking a close look at the tribe is turkey site set from Ivy's so we have our tribe is turkey site mounted here on our shotgun it's a front and rear sight it's fully adjustable for windage and elevation this is a unique sight it has a not conventional sight picture instead of having a you notch with two dots in the rear and a dot in the front this one actually has three triangle points and they're super bright the triangle gives you a very fine point of aim so you align the top tip of the front triangle right center with the two triangles in the rear sight one of the unique things about this site is you have a full view of the target conventional sights will obscure the target from the top of the site down and this gives you the ability to see around the the entire site and see the target the rear has a windage adjustment we have a windage screw lock on the top here and the two light pipes move together as one unit to adjust your windage and then the front sight we have a triangle and we'll be changing these triangles out from taller to shorter to adjust our elevation try this site it's absolutely amazing what I love the most about it is it helps helps you keep your head down on the stock where it where it belongs and helps you get a good sight alignment with the turkey it's great especially for people that really struggle with shotguns because a lot of people you know that they'll get on a bird and they'll pick their head up to look at it and then they'll take a bad shot so a site like the tribe is really helps and keeping you your head down in the proper position so you can get a good shot now that we've gotten the rundown on the tribe is turkey side set it's time to take it to the field and see how it performs under pressure coming up we'll join Trevor and Lanny on their first Texas turkey hunts to me the performance center by Smith & Wesson means taking the best and making it better regardless if I'm passing on the traditions of hunting or teaching someone new about the outdoors I know that using a performance center handgun will be something they will remember for the rest of their lives every model comes with an awesome trigger they're reliable in all the conditions as well as offering a variety of sight scope mounting capabilities the Performance Center by Smith & Wesson performance when it matters most the thompson/center compass to a feature-rich rifle packed with value at a higher standard of reliable accuracy now with generation to trigger and threaded muzzle offered in scoped and non scoped versions and in a wide variety of calibers from the range to the fields to the mountains TC has a rifle to match every hunter's needs from the backwoods to the backyard Sawyer's permethrin odorless insect repellent repels and kills

go confidently it's early morning and the skies are starting to break after some torrential downpours a few hours prior Trevor and Lanny have split up and ventured into different parts of the camp in search of their first Texas turkeys we went out and it looked good called to the turkeys locating them you know they answer back we're just waiting for them to come off the roost and then another little cell started moving in yeah we just got understand cover just in time to have a real boomer come in and just dump on us rain and hail for probably 15 20 minutes it's showing that it's almost fastest but uh like most weather men I know they're not right because as you can see it's coming a flood so after about 20 minutes or so it let off and we were able to get back out there and get after it but it was just I don't know if it was a storm or or that and just the wind but just couldn't get him to come in but we toughed it out for a while went in for lunch and regrouped it cleared up a little bit we went back out in the afternoon same spot you know we're sitting there for two two and a half hours finally get a little Goblin I mean we knew the birds were out there in the area but it was real windy so once they finally came in you know I was just wondering if we were even gonna get any of them but then all of a sudden were covered up in toms I don't know if they were just getting excited or what but they picked up and started trotting off and then the other Tom behind us he takes off running we got him well my first REO and that was an exciting hunt pretty nice beard maybe maybe 9 inches 8 9 inches nice heavy bird nice fam right 35 yard shot and tribes' got no problem I mean you put that thing up there it just lights right up and no problem getting right on his head and awesome that was exciting huh congratulations Trevor for begging your first Texas turkey let's travel across camp and meet up with Lanny now after weathering the same storm we saw earlier with Trevor

rack serious nutrition welcome back to Americana outdoors Trevor is making his way out to the field in search of one of the most challenging adaptable and majestic game animals you can find the aw dad we're down here in Southwest Texas looking for exotic ah dad psyche I was down here earlier year hunting hogs and we stumbled upon some Audet and a ram stop there let us look at them outside of the fact that I dad are just beautiful there oppressively sized they're very muscly and you know if you're gonna hunt with a with a handgun especially large caliber handguns animals that are a tougher target or you really need to put good a good hit on you need bullet energy to take them down this really exciting they're they're a exceptional animal to hunt especially with a handgun today we using a Smith Performance Center 464 the handgun hunter we have you know moving beyond say the 44 mag have been shooting big bore handguns for you know 20 years we now have calibers and models that are really tailored to the handgun hunter and calibers with energy levels well beyond what we had you know 20 years ago while Trevor makes his way to the blind let's learn more about this sights that he's using on his Smith & Wesson Performance Center 460 xvr hi i'm trevor with iva shooting systems I have the Smith & Wesson Performance Center xvr here with a prototype rear sight with interchangeable fiber optics and I'd like to show you a little bit about how it works and how to change the fibers the tool we use has a small fin right here molded into the side of the tool and then we see a locking groove in the center of the light pipe in this machine feature eight here which lock slightly so what we want to do is insert this at a slight angle and the angle follows the line right here on the tool and push that pin into the locking groove in the fiber and then twist backwards and as you put pressure and twist you'll see the light pipe start to protrude out the back of the site then you can use or I use this end of the tool just to push it out to insert the fiber just guide it in place push it in till it locks and that's how you change the fibers of your site will come with green red and black fibers and you can interchange and reuse them first day I got here we went out and did a evening hunt and set up on one spot where anything could come in and but the aw dad had been coming in there and we're fairly hopeful they hadn't been in there for quite a while so we got in there and got set up and animals started moving right away we had to ear Turkey then one a lot at appeared basically out of nowhere you know you glanced here you glance to your left you come back and there they are they just appear [Music] they're amazingly suspicious they just wait and look and wait and look and it's really unlike anything else I've hunted he milled around a little bit and he just acted like he was looking for a reason to leave we just decided then that we needed to go ahead and take shot [Music] you get it I got it that's awesome I was awesome boy they they are really weary yeah I told you he said he's gonna come he's gonna stand he's gonna look forever well Wow you're right those off you put him down right where he was standing that's pretty impressive for a nod a dad like that is pretty good I'm not gonna say that nothing's a guarantee and hunting but if you put it where do you need where it should go that's what I expected to see you know he gave me a quarter in a way shot and grizzly Anne will put the put the hammer on one shot dropped in right where he stood
