Bargains Are Back At GON’s Outdoor Blast

Back in the day, hunting shows had deals. Seems like today it’s gotten more about celebrity autographs. GON introduced Blast Bargains last year to the Outdoor Blast. They were a big hit, and a number of new vendors have joined the effort in an attempt to give showgoers special deals at their booths.

Below are the Blast Bargains. To see photos of these products, go to www.gon.com and search “Blast Bargains.”

Adventure Outdoors will be having two Blast Bargains.

Blast Bargain No. 1 is a Raging River El Lobo crossbow package for $149.99. This lightweight crossbow is great for close-range situations from tree stands and ground blinds. It is light enough to easily carry long distances without fear of fatigue. With a narrow width, the bow allows for use in narrow shooting locations. Below are the specs.

Model Number: RR-EL150-DX
Draw Weight: 150 pounds

The Ghost line includes six casting rods, two cranking models and two spinning rods.
