    Outdoors electronics…for Xmas

    December 09th, 2006 | Category: Stuff

    If you are interested in the outdoors, shooting or adventuring then I have a site that you might want to check out. The site has everything from night vision equipment, throught rifle scopes to bog-standard binoculars for your favourite passionate twicher (don’t worry American readers that is not as dodgy as it sounds it merely donotes those that are keen on watching birds of the flying kind with feathers). If you happen to know someone into these sort of pursuits, and I know plenty, then you might enjoy holiday buying guide for those of you who are not completely au fait with the latest gear.

    Those people who are interested in the heavens might want to check out their large selection of telescopes. When I have a house somewhere less light-polluted I want a telescope to check out the stars. And no this has nothing to do with my paranoia about the star being right for the rise of a certain octopoid manifestation, well not much at least.

    One other small bit of info order something that costs over 30 bucks, that is only in the US for those you who don’t live there, get free UPS shipping. Not bad eh?
