Kal Lester
Kal Lester, Lemont, Illinois, USA
My philosophy, as encapsulated by Syd Downey, PH 1933:
“In hunting, the finding and killing of game is after but part of the whole. The free, self-reliant, adventurous life, with its rugged and stalwart democracy; the wild surroundings, the grand beauty of the scenery, the chance to study the ways and habits of woodland creatures- all these unite to give the career of the wilderness hunter it’s peculiar charm.” Theodore Roosevelt
Maven Outdoor Equipment Co.
We deliver world-class optics straight to the user with no middleman and no retail markup. We’re a company focused on the design and creation of innovative products for, and by, the modern outdoorsman.
We refuse to compromise our mountain town roots to follow the well-worn path to a dollar. We choose instead to make game-changing gear and use it in the places and pursuits that inspire us…everyday. We broke the mold when we introduced our high-performance optics into the market in 2014 at almost half the cost of our competitors, the major European brands. We did this by implementing a Direct to Consumer business model and eliminating retail markup from the stores.

Trophy Solutions Africa (TSA)
Most people survived the onslaught of the pandemic… but there were some who did not. Our heartfelt condolences to their families and friends…
The pandemic did not overlook our industry either. We are very fortunate to still run our full contingent of staff, as per pre-covid. It was not an easy ride, but our team held on and pushed through! We held our heads high, and the 2021-season rewarded us by again running at full capacity. A big “thank-you” to all the outfitters, professional hunters and clients who believed in us!
The way forward is not known, but we all have a much better idea of dealing with the circumstances that we might be facing…
If you are not yet part of the Trophy Solutions Africa team, give us a try – you will not regret it!
