(machines whirring)
- [Announcer] Today, on Deer Gear TV, we showcase
the Performance Center by Smith and Wesson.
We try out new pop-up blinds from Cabela's.
And finally, we check out Cabela's
meat processing equipment.
All this and more, coming up on
Cabela's Deer Gear TV.
(drumbeats)
From hand cutting to fine-tuning for precision,
Performance Center firearms are top performers.
Products from the Performance Center are the
ultimate expression of old world craftsmanship,
blended with modern technology.
Feature-rich and enhanced for better performance,
Performance Center firearms maintain
production line integrity.
Whether you're shooting a pistol, revolver, or a rifle,
you can be sure your Performance Center gun
is made with the close attention to detail
for your best shot yet. (gunshot)
- Back in 'bout 1989, they brought in
a group of guys to make high-end custom guns.
And it was really, at that point,
geared towards competition shooting.
You know, since then, we've, you know,
opened a broader range of products
to include hunting, protection.
So it's not just a competition-based platform anymore.
You're looking at a standard product
and you pick a Performance Center gun up
right next to it, right away you notice
it looks a lot different and not only that,
but you start pulling the trigger and you say,
"There's a whole lot difference here."
We take already what I consider to be
the best products on the market today,
and we'll make 'em that much better.
We add integral rails, we do custom action jobs.
So you can expect a lot smoother,
a lot lighter trigger pull.
Custom sights, custom grips, custom barrels, I mean,
they don't look anything like our standard products.
One of the most important features about some of
these hunting handguns is the fact that the triggers
are a lot nicer than your standard product.
You can expect about a three and a half pound
single action trigger pull out of Performance Center
and about a ten pound double action trigger pull,
and that's significantly different
than our standard products.
And you know, when you're in the field hunting,
you've got an animal in front of you,
you've gotta make that follow-up shot.
Typically, it's not gonna be single-action,
it's gonna be double-action, and that's where
that 10-pound double action trigger pull comes into play.
You really want a Performance Center features
you know, while you're hunting.
You know, Performance Center just doesn't do handguns.
We do rifles, we just came out with the 6.5 Creedmoor rifle.
We do 3-gun for competition shooting.
We do 9-, 10-, 11-s, we do our MMPs.
Our MMPs, once again, 3-gun, IDPA, the revolvers IDPA.
We do custom protection, you know, carry guns.
So our shield, our ported shield,
and we do a lot of j-frames, and you can expect
a nice, clean lighter double-action trigger pulls
and really, we're on a J-frame.
If you think about it, we do an action job
and we reduce the trigger pull weight 'bout 20%.
You know, when you look at our competitors,
they don't really offer a custom type package.
I mean, yeah, you can get custom guns from,
you know, smaller outfits, you can pay a lot more
money for 'em than you would for
stuff comin' out of the Performance Center.
Yet you're getting it custom done.
So you're getting something a lot
better than standard production, and
our competitors really don't do that.
Integral rails, that mean you don't have to
send your gun out to a gunsmith, have it drilled,
tapped, and then you mount the rail.
And it's not that rigid, if you take a look
at Performance Center products.
I mean, those rails are integraled to the barrel
so you don't have to worry about it ever
loosening up in the field while you're hunting.
Originally, the .44 Magnum was probably
the go-to gun for hunting.
Smith and Wesson, back when they were
looking at the 500, they were saying,
"We want a bigger platform that will
"enable a guy to hunt just about anything
"he wanted to with a handgun",
and that's how the 500 came about.
You see guys take an elephant with them now
in Africa, Cape Buffalo.
It's just opened up a wider range
of hunting opportunities for you.
People typically look at the 460, the 500,
and they shy away from it, thinking the recoil's
gonna be way too much for them to handle.
What you've gotta understand about these guns
is there's lot of weight to 'em.
There's no flutes in the cylinders,
and that helps reduce recoil.
You know, that misconception of all the recoil
you're not gonna be able to handle it,
you're not gonna be able to control it,
it's really not there.
(gunshot)
I love seeing new people come into this game,
say even though I've done it with a rifle,
I've done it with a bow, now I wanna do it with a handgun.
Takes little bit of practice and you'll be
out huntin' and enjoying it too.
- [Announcer] Come check out the expanded
Smith and Wesson Performance Center selection
at a Cabela's near you.
Deer Gear is brought to you by Cabela's.
It's in your nature.
Performance Center, by Smith and Wesson.
Performance when it matters most.

(TV static)
- [Announcer] Looking further into the line
of hunting handguns from the Smith and Wesson
Performance Center is the brand-new 460 XVR handgun,
featuring a seven and a half inch barrel.
(gunshot)
- The Smith and Wesson Performance Center 460 XVR,
this is a finely tuned handgun.
It's got a muzzle brake and an unfluted cylinder,
and it's basically been fine-tuned for those
of us out there that like these big handguns.
It's got a smooth, light trigger.
That's gonna help you dial in your shots
quickly for accuracy.
And this is a handgun, in my opinion,
this is really designed to provide
things that the hunter expects and wants
out of a hunting handgun, a revolver like this.
This particular revolver from the Performance Center
at Smith and Wesson is something that,
when you look at it, it just looks fantastic.
I mean it's just cool in your hands.
When you hold it and when you feel the balance,
and you look at the design and the craftsmanship,
and then you start feeling that finely tuned trigger
when you're pulling it, and you look at
what the muzzle brake does to reduce the recoil,
and the unfluted cylinder, and just how the gun
is put together and how it performs.
I mean you instantly gain confidence
of what it's gonna be able to do.
- And that really came out of the fact that
we're carrying ten and a half inch guns around.
They're a little bit cumbersome at times,
especially when you wanna get the gun up
quick on a stick, so we reduced the barrel
to seven and a half inches.
Once again, Performance Center action trigger,
you get a great feel on the gun.
But that little shorter barrel makes a
whole lot of difference when you're out hunting.
You know, what really makes this gun nice is
the fact that it doesn't have a longer barrel on it,
so it's a lot easier to carry while you're hunting.
- We reduced recoil in a couple different ways.
One is the muzzle brake, so when a round goes up,
we're expending gas out the barrel.
Helps reduce muzzle brake.
The other thing too is the weight of the overall guns.
So you've got a very heavy barrel,
as well as an unfluted cylinder,
which adds weight to that gun,
and that's helping to reduce recoil, too.
So that follow-up shot when you're in a field,
it's really important to get back on the target quicker,
and by reducing the recoil, that's what we're doing.
High-viz fiber optic sight gets you back on target
a lot quicker in those low-light conditions, too.
It really helps out the fact that
that fiber optic sight is lightening up.
Like I said, seven and a half inch barrel.
It's got an integral rail, and what's
nice about that is you don't have to
send your gun out to get gunsmithed
to have a mount put on the barrel.
So you don't have to worry about it
loosening up, it's nice and rigid.
Obviously, it leaves the factory with
Performance Center action, so you can expect
about a three and a half pound
single action crisp trigger pull,
and about a ten pound double action trigger pull.
Chrome hammer, chrome trigger, once again,
help to protect that from the elements.
Coke overmolded grip, once again,
it is a powerful gun, so you want something
in your hand that helps reduce recoil.
And it's got finger grooves in it.
And it's got a pad in the back of it
that helps you with the recoil, so
your hand's not absorbing all that recoil.
The grip really helps with that.
It's got a texture to it that really
gives you a nice firm grip.
I really like it a lot for hunting.
- [Announcer] Wade had the opportunity
to debut the Performance Center XVR 460
out on the field on a recent whitetail hunt.
- What I'm gonna be hunting with is somethin' new
from the Smith and Wesson Performance Center.
This is a 460 Smith and Wesson Magnum.
They've had one of these 460s out
for a long time, with a bigger barrel,
but this has got a lot of new features
built into it, and it's somethin'
that I can't wait to get out and field test.
I think it's gonna be perfect
for the situation that we're hunting in.
(suspenseful music)
Got 'im.
Got him.
Got him!
Smoked that guy.
(exhales deeply)
(laughs) That's what I'm talkin' about, right there.
Did you see him, come runnin' across that--
come runnin' across that field there?
He came in, there was two or three other deer
millin' around, and then I guess, like,
it's a little shadier there.
I'm definitely a little shook up. (laughs)
You see the gun shakin' a little bit right there.
That's a giant, see all those tines?
I mean, he's got, he's got one side,
he's got an extra tine comin' out here,
he curves in, he kept 'round, tines goin' that way.
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
From the Performance Center right there.
Smoked that deer.
(exhales deeply) Gol--
- -ly.
That's so fun, you know, I have really
taken to this handgun hunting
and gettin' involved in it and
spendin' time down on the range and shootin'.
They just perform so well in the field.
When you can, you know, get out there
and practice and take your time,
you can just do some phenomenal shootin' with it.
I've been practicin' at all distances,
all ranges with several different calibers, so
that was pretty cool right there.
Give it a second, then we'll go take a look.
There's blood right here too.
Search it goin', I like it better in this dirt
than I do in this...
Yep, grass.
(snickering)
Right there, buddy.
Right there!
I mean...
(laughs) He's right there in the broomweed.
Look at that, oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, what a stud.
I mean, this is an old timer, too.
That is a phenomenal buck.
And I mean, talk about center punchin' one.
We center punched that one, I can see that.
Performance Center 460.
That's a new model that they've got,
and it just has been a blast to shoot.
What a buck. (chuckles)

If you're looking for a new pop-up blind this season,
head on over to Cabela's and take a look
at the Cabela's species ground blind.
- You know, finding a pop-up for all your
hunting situations is really tough.
How big do you need it?
What size, how do you want the design to be?
If you're looking for an extra-large blind
for up to two people, adjustable windows
give you maximum visibility.
A hook-and-molle window system
that eliminates the need for zippers.
Shoot-through mesh panels, this is definitely
a blind that I think you wanna look at.
I spent some time in the field
on a recent handgun hunt, and really found
that the Cabela Species Ground Blind was unique
in its design and allowed me to find success,
thanks to some of these unique features that it had.
It offers 180 degree panoramic windows.
It's really cool, so you can open 'em
as big or little as you want.
The shoot-through panels are really key
for a lot of guys, because it's gonna
give them more concealment out there.
Personally, I didn't use 'em on this hunt,
but it's a great feature to have.
And another big key that I really like on this is
it's a very easy blind to pop up, and the
integrated rust loops that come with this blind
allow you easily to conceal the blind.
And that's a big thing that I really like.
I like to be able to put brush all the way around
my blind and with the loops, you can easily do that.
But I'll tell you one of the things
that really caught my feature about the
Cabela Species Ground Blind, is the extra-large
diamond-shaped windows in the two corners.
These really wide windows allow me to maximize
my shooting lanes while still feeling concealed.
You could set in a chair, traditional like
you would in a pop-up, or you can sit
on the ground like I did on a recent handgun hunt.
You could open these big diamond shaped windows
in any manner that you want to,
thanks to the silent hook-and-molle system
that comes with 'em so that you can just
unclip 'em and then clip 'em back up
to set the openings the way you want 'em.
This really played a big role in a recent
handgun hunt for me, and basically gave me
confidence in how I was able to position the blind,
how easy it was to put it up, how easy it was
to brush it in, and then finally, with those
diamond-shaped windows and setting on the ground,
those deer had no idea I was there.
So this blind, the Cabela Species Ground Blind,
is definitely one to take a look at if you like
a lot of versatility in how you can set your blind up.
- [Announcer] If pop-up blinds don't suit
your hunting needs, these fiberglass hunting blinds
from Hercules Outdoors may be just what you need.
- We're gettin' our first ever Hercules blind
put up right now, and as you can see,
this is really well designed.
For people that are lookin' for a combination
fiberglass blind to be able to hunt in all weather
in all situations, this is the blind design
that you're probably gonna wanna look at.
You got the big, long windows for the bow hunter.
Square windows for rifle hunters,
and you can obviously mix it up
for a lot of different angles.
We've got a multitude of options
once you get inside this blind,
and it is so well built from a
construction standpoint, from the windows
to the locks, to the fiberglass construction.
This is a blind in an entire set up that you're
not gonna have to worry about for a lifetime.
- [Announcer] Hercules blinds are entirely made
in the USA, and are manufactured in Santa Fe, Texas
using high-quality fiberglass components,
combined with tried and tested processes
of hand-lain fiberglass to construct
very durable, superior products.
Every fiberglass hunting blind
is custom built to your specifications, and can
be customized with additional luxurious upgrades.
Hercules Outdoor Industries' hunting blinds
can last through rain, snow, and all those
cold winters spent hunting at the peak of the season.

Go hunt, we'll carry the gun.

Real world tough.
If you're a hunter who likes to process
your own meat and make your own jerky,
Cabela's has everything you need
to make the perfect venison jerky.
Clark Wendlandt is here to show us how quickly
and easily it is to make your own jerky.
- Probably the most important thing
for processin' deer to me is a good grinder.
A good grinder helps you make sausage, make tacos,
you can make chili, do all kinds of things.
Spaghetti, soups, there's lots of things
you can do with ground meat.
So, you know, I actually own a Cabela's
Carnivore Grinder, one and a half horsepower,
and that's exactly what this one is.
This is the newest model, and the cool thing
about this one is it has this CoolTec.
You put it in the freezer and it actually makes
this housing really cold, so when that meat goes
through there, it doesn't warm the meat at all.
It stays really, really cold, and then that helps
your ground meat stay a little bit more firm when
you're workin' with it, especially makin' sausage.
The firmer it is, the better it is.
And so...
I'm gonna just show you how I grind meat and how
easy this is, how much of a beast this machine is.
So I'm gonna just take some meat,
I'm gonna stick it in here in the tray,
and turn it on, and we're gon' grind some meat.
The one thing about this grinder is,
it'll do a lot of meat, and it'll do it pretty fast.
And you can see, I've already ground up
about 40 or 50 pounds right here.
And I've got just a little bit more to go,
'bout another 10, 15, 20 pounds.
That right there will spit it out.
We're actually gonna take this
ground meat, we're gonna use the Jerky Blaster
and actually season it with a kit from Cabela's,
a kit that just makes it super easy.
So what I've got in here is, I've
got five pounds of ground meat.
I'm gonna go with Cabela's Peppered Venison jerky.
So I've got two packets, I've got the pepper jerky packet.
I've got the cure packet.
Basically, you just add both of 'em to it.
The cure is there so that--
when you're dryin' meat, you gotta have a cure on it.
And then, I'm basically gonna just take this meat
in this tray and I'm gonna just thoroughly mix it up.
This is just five pounds.
And so, I've got the meat pretty thoroughly mixed up.
The only other thing you gotta add
is just a little bit of water,
and so I've got some water measured out here.
I mean, I think that that's probably a half cup
or a quarter cup that you want in there.
And that just makes it go through
that Jerky Blaster just a little bit easier.
And you're thinking, well, how
is that gonna go into the meat?
Well, if you mix it up, that
water will just kinda naturally--
The meat'll just kind of absorb it,
so once I get it mixed up really good,
then I'm gonna go to the Jerky Blaster.
I'm actually gonna take one of the trays of the
dehydrator out, and we're gonna have venison jerky.
You know, to load this thing up,
you've got an easy loading attachment.
Basically just goes and it just screws right on the end.
You can put your meat in there real easily.
Once you get some in there,
you take this plunger, and it'll just load it.
And makes it a lot easier than trying
to just go, you know, slowly get it in that tube.
They've got several different tips that you can use.
You can use a round tip.
You can use a bigger flat tip.
I've always liked flat because I feel like
it's a little bit easier, a little quicker
on the dehydrator if you're using a flat one,
but you've got both options.
This is a Cabela's 12-Tray Pro Series Dehydrator.
And I'm actually putting the last trays
in it right now, just fit 'em in there.
It'll actually hold 12 trays.
That's the last tray right there.
Now I'm gonna close it up.
The door is strong, it's got a great magnet.
It stays really good.
When you power it on, all you gotta do is set two things.
You gotta set your temperature,
and you gotta set your time.
We're ready to go.
I just heard it boot up and come on.
Check back in about ten hours.
That jerky's gon' be ready to eat.
Hey, let's see what we got.
Wow.
Venison jerky right there.
I tell you what, if you got the opportunity,
you like great-tasting jerky, and who doesn't?
You know, try some of Cabela's jerky-making kits.
The dehydrator makes it really simple.
This was nine hours at 160.
And this is perfect.
