The Archery Trade Show is hosting new products from around the country. If it’s archery or hunting gear, it will be showcased and will include hunting blinds, tree stands, game calls, all types of archery gear, and a plethora of other cool stuff. Here’s a sneak peak at five new products.
The Hail Mary in football is that desperate, last-hope long bomb of a pass into the end zone as the seconds tick off the scoreboard clock. In duck hunting, a hail call to a distant flock with one of the two new Hail Mary Mallard Calls from Flextone is far from an act of desperation.
The new Hail Mary duck calls from Flextone offer reach beyond the range of other duck calls. Attract those distant birds with a loud, sustained sequence that doesn’t wear the caller down. Flextone’s new Hail Mary Single and Double Reed Mallard calls are designed for open-water hunting when volume and reach is needed. The Hail Mary features smaller port holes to provide added back pressure. This means the caller can scream louder and longer with hail calls and follow-up with comeback calls without running out of breath.
Every hunter loves a good challenge. And so does ALPS OutdoorZ. When it was time to design and manufacture the best meat hauler on the market, we didn’t take the challenge lightly. And with all the features the Commander X has to offer, you could
say that we’ve hit the bull’s-eye with this pack. Now we challenge you to give it a try. The Commander X is really two packs in one — the frame hauler and the pack bag that attaches to the frame. Let’s start by introducing the pack bag features. Because hunters are tough on their gear and have to battle rugged terrain, it’s only fitting to use the highest quality fabrics on the market: 1680D Nylon Ballistic and Robic. Using the pack bag allows you to pack in everything you need for camp to have a successful hunt. Your rifle or bow, spotting scope, clothing, calls, food and water, sleeping bag, and all the other gadgets you pack will all have the perfect spot to rest in your pack with the numerous pockets the pack bag boasts.
The Barnett Buck Commander Rage represents a quantum leap in crossbow evolution. It combines the best design elements from all Barnett crossbows into one light-weight, hard-hitting package. If its strikingly good looks don’t grab your attention, its performance and features surely will.
Most notable is the combination of the lightweight CarbonLite Riser with reverse draw technology. This creates significantly less vibration and noise than a traditional draw crossbow without sacrificing speed or accuracy. In this radical new reverse draw configuration, the limb pockets are moved closer to the trigger assembly and the limbs face forward on the bow, thus shifting the center of gravity closer to the shooter’s body. This drastically reduces the weight at the front of the crossbow, which is essential for a well-balanced shot. In addition, the CarbonLite Riser assembly further reduces the weight without compromising strength or accuracy. The most technically advanced riser ever created for a crossbow, the CarbonLite Riser removes approximately 43% of weight from the riser, which dramatically shifts the balance point to the shoulder.
The HALO Laser Range Finders just got better. New for 2015, the XT Series of HALO Range Finders puts the ground-breaking technology HALO Optics is known for and packs it all into a super lightweight
housing. Hunters, golfers and anyone who needs a Laser Range Finder but wants one that doesn’t get in the way or become a burden in the field will love the 8-ounce XT Series HALO Range Finders.
There are two models of the new HALO XT Series, the XT1000, with a maximum range of 1,000 yards, and the XT600, which has a range of 600 yards to the reflective target. Both the XT1000 and the XT600 include the premier technologies that have made HALO Range Finders an industry leader. AI Technology automatically accounts forslope between the Range Finder and the target. They also have an OLED display for ease of use (Organic Light Emitting Diode).
Hunters seeking a blind with the perfect combination of great features and a great price need to look no further than the Whitetail Hunting Blind from Advantage Blinds. The Whitetail Blind is a more economical version of the very popular Deluxe Blind made by Advantage, with many of the same great features that hunters love.
The Whitetail comes available with a choice of either an outside hinged locking door or a trapdoor for entry and exit through the floor. The large, hinged Polycarbonate windows flip up and out of your way, which makes the Advantage Hunting Blind a great option for gun or bow hunting while providing concealment with a 360-degree view. When the windows are flipped up and out of the way, they can be locked into place with a nylon cord and spring clip. The Whitetail Blind is black on the outside and inside, which also helps to keep a hunter hidden and concealed inside.
