As the leaves of Autumn turn color and drop each fall, and as big V formations of geese fill the sky headed south, these things trigger a desire deep within us to get out and enjoy the hunt. For some of us, fall is when our blood boils with the desire to hunt our favorite game animal. Whether that be deer, bear, elk, or any of the other big game species, really doesn’t matter. What matters most is that we get out and experience the joy of the hunt in nature the way it was intended, the way it has been done for thousands of years. And enjoy it we do, and in many more ways today than ever before.
Today we have the benefit of technology on our side: better gun designs, better ammunition, better clothing, better knowledge of our game animals. Nowadays we have the benefit of Google Earth to help us find suitable hunting areas, ATVs to help us pull our game out of the woods, and GPS to help us find our way back to the truck. Yes, technology has really helped us to enjoy the hunt much more than ever before.
Take, for instance, the technology of gun design. Today’s guns tend to be designed better, with better sights, better triggers, better components. And in accessorizing our firearms, we have thousands of choices; from scopes to triggers to aftermarket gunstocks, we can now custom build our own guns to our liking. We can still buy guns off the shelf and use them just as they are, but why do that when you can customize your gun with accessories that will make your gun fit you perfectly and function just the way you want it to function for the particular type of hunting you do.
Many years ago, for my very first deer hunt, I couldn’t afford to buy a new deer rifle, so I borrowed an old, beat-up .308 from a friend of my father. That stock was so worn, scratched and beat-up that it was almost embarrassing showing up with it at the range with so many onlookers looking at the beat-up stick I had with a barreled action sticking out of it. The worst part was that the stock didn’t fit me properly — the length of pull was much too short — so I had to buy a rubber butt pad that could slip over the buttstock like a boot in order to get it to fit me properly. It wasn’t pretty, and it never stayed in place, so it was frustrating to work with.
Thankfully, now there is a better way to get a gun to fit you properly: Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks. Boyds Gunstocks is the largest aftermarket gunstock manufacturer in the world making gunstocks that are built-to-order. In other words, the stock is built to fit you personally, with all the options that you, yourself, select from all the options available for that particular stock and gun model combination. And one of the best things about Boyds Gunstocks is that from the date you place your order, your Boyds Gunstock will arrive at your door in two to three weeks! Nobody else can do that!
I was impressed when I first discovered Boyds Gunstocks; they have such a huge selection of stock shapes, colors, styles, and options. And, because Boyds Gunstocks builds stocks for over 1,200 different gun models, chances are good that Boyds makes a gunstock for your brand and model of gun!
Boyds is a leader in new gunstock design, creating newer, better gunstock shapes that fit the human body better and feel more comfortable in the hand. One perfect example are Boyds’ Thumbhole gunstocks which allow the thumb to pass through a hole in the stock to provide a better grip by putting the hand in a neutral and very natural position. Doing this avoids stress on a wrist and provides a more stable, more solid grip on the gun.
Another example is the At-One fully adjustable and modular gunstock that provides an adjustable length-of-pull at the quick push of a button, thereby allowing the gun to perfectly fit anyone shooting that gun. So now one gun can fit everybody in the family at the mere push of a button! And, as we all know, “a better fit means a better hit.”
Boyds has been making gunstocks for over 40 years, so they’ve had plenty of time to figure out the best way to make gunstocks so that they fit the human body better, so that they fit the gun better, so that they are the most-stable platform for your barreled action. And with an extremely hard, durable finish applied to every stock, you can be assured that your Boyds gunstock will maintain its accuracy, its integrity and its beauty long into the future, for generations to come.
The beauty of wood is unquestionably one of the most versatile materials on the planet. Wood is warm, inviting, and more beautiful than any boring plastic gunstock. Plastic just doesn’t have the stiffness, the rigidity or the beauty that Boyds’ laminate hardwoods do. Cheap plastic stocks tend to expand and shrink quite a bit with heat and cold, and this movement will affect your point of impact. Boyds Gunstocks are stable in all weather conditions due in large part to the superior finish and sealants they use, and because of this, your point of impact will remain just where you expect it to be.
With so many benefits from this new technology that Boyds Gunstocks brings to the firearms category, I will continue to upgrade my guns with a Boyds aftermarket gunstock. I really believe what Boyds is saying: Better fit, better finish, better beauty — my guns are just Better With Boyds.
