Several years ago, Tru Glo inc. released the Apex Gear line of accessories.  The Apex line of sights represents Tru-Glo’s many years of experience in producing top quality, user friendly bow sights.  Two of these sights in particular are designed with the bow hunter in mind. 

The Apex Nitrus is the first of these available in four and six pin versions as well as .029 or .019 fiber sizes to suit any situation that a bow hunter might encounter.  Another feature that is new on the Nitrus four pin sight is the absence of red pins.  The alternating green and yellow pins stay visible in the woods for a much longer period of time.  The Nitrus is also available with several adjustment options that include standard dovetails, micro adjustment capabilities, and a micro adjustable sight with a 5 inch removable sight bar. 

The other sight from Apex is the Atomic.  This sight is available in one, four, and six pin configurations to suit any archer’s needs.  It is available in both pin sizes as well.  The unique feature of the atomic is a rotating sight bar that makes for one of the largest amounts of elevation adjustment in the industry. 

This pair of sights also boasts aluminum construction for extreme durability, pins that protect the fiber optic in a cradle of aluminum, glow in the dark aiming ring, and comes standard with a purple haze light to ensure you will be able to see your pins when the trophy of a lifetime steps into your shooting lane.  One of these top quality sights from Apex Gear would be a perfect match for your hunting rig.

When PSE unveiled their X-Force line of bows in 2007 they took the archery industry by surprise.  At the time they had done what others had only dreamed of.  They produced a bow with a healthy brace height, light mass weight and smooth draw. That may sound fairly status quo for many bows on the market until you see that it shoots at an IBO rated 350 fps.   A bow with specs like that is definitely worth taking a look at.  The best part is the for 2009 PSE has out done themselves again

For 2009, PSE has revamped and improved an already very impressive bow.  They offer an X-force for virtually all archers with six different axle to axle lengths and brace height combinations.  PSE has designed a new cam called the GX hybrid which is allowing them to increase the speed of their bows as well as increase the let-off.  The two main bows are the X-Force GX and the X-Force Dream Season GX.  The GX is 32.5” ATA with a modest 6” brace height.  The speed and let-off of the new GX is where all the changes took place.  The let-off went from 75% to 80% and the speed crept up from 350 to 352 IBO.

In the Dream Season model which has an ATA of 32.5” and a 7” brace height the changes were about the same.  The let-off went to 80% and the IBO speed went up to 342.  They also offer all of their X-force bows in the new Mossy Oak Treestand camo as well as the digital camo. 
With all the changes to the 2009 X-Force line, the bow still shoots as shock free, light, and quiet as any bow on the market.  Where it gets ahead of the pack is in the speed department.  With all of these features it will make it a very good choice for your next tree stand companion.

Carbon Express has perhaps built the best arrow ever constructed, and the technology behind the Aramid KV has taken arrow manufacturing to new heights. The Aramid arrow is definitely the top of the line hunting arrow on the market today. The Aramid KV is made with a layer of Kevlar, which is a synthetic fiber that is pound for pound five times stronger than steel. No doubt that makes the Aramid the most durable arrow that you can buy for hunting. The Aramid also has one of Carbon Express most popular pieces of technology, Weight Forward. With built in weight forward you will receive superior down range accuracy with a broadhead. The Aramid KV features the Bulldog Nock Collar for added strength and protection. Most people really like the Bulldog Collar, because it can help save some arrows from breaking when target practicing. Aramids come standard with Blazer vanes on them which will add velocity and durability. Last but not least the Aramid KV is spine selected for consistency and straighter shooting. This is very important for accurate groups down range and broadhead shooting. In my opinion you cannot buy an arrow that is easier to tune and get great broadhead flight out of. The straightness tolerance is .0025, weight tolerance is 1.0 grains, and the spine selection tolerance is .0025. The Aramid comes in two different spines a 250 and 350. The Aramid KV comes in at a nice weight as well with 8.9gpi and 9.8gpi. Looking for the most durable arrow with incredible accuracy. An arrow that is easy to tune and shoots broadheads better than any arrow that you have had before. Give the Carbon Express Aramid KV a try and you will not be disappointed.

With everyone looking to have that little edge when they are in the woods many hunters are looking for the most durable and adjustable accessories they can find.  When hunters look for sights, micro adjust and protected pins are at the top of the want list.  With Axcel Sights first endeavor in the hunting sight market I think they have a Boone & Crocket. 

The Armortech HD is the product of years of target shooting experience and a desire to produce the best hunting sight on the market.  The Armortech comes with all the bells and whistles that you would look for in a high end sight.  It features tool-less full micro adjust wind-age and elevation, full micro adjust pins available in 4,5 or 7 pin  configuration as well as .019 or .010 dia. fibers.  The Armortech also has the 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments for fine tuning the sight for long range shooting.  These features are not unheard of in the hunting sight world but not many sights out there have them.  Where the Axcel sight takes the lead is in pins and the scope design.  The pins feature a stainless steel tube that full encloses the fiber so that there is no exposed fiber to be cracked or broken.  The scope feature a new design where the inside of the scope is actually hour glass shaped to allow great field of vision when looked at from an angle.  What this means is that if the bow is torqued, t he sight picture will stay the same.

All of these features add up to make Axcel’s new Armortech HD a very good choice for the hunter or 3D shooter looking for that little edge

New for 2009 from a company who has reformed themselves the past couple years is the Bow Madness single cam bow from PSE.  The Bow Madness was created with and named after the popular hunting show with the same name featuring the Drury Brothers. At first glance, this is a very good looking bow with its unique, highly preloaded limbs, and popular Mossy Oak Treestand camo.  Let’s take a look at a few of the features that make the Bow Madness a great mid price point bow.

The preloaded limbs along with the Madness cam give this bow plenty of speed and smoothness.  The Madness cam features modular adjustments from 25”-30” which makes this bow very easy to adjust the draw length without a bow press.  Also available in 65% or 80% let-off, and draw weights of 50, 60, or 70 pounds, this bow can accommodate many different archers.  The new pivoting split limb pockets are a great feature that add to the smoothness and the Biomechanically Ergonomic Slim Throat grip helps to prevent bow torque.

The PSE Bow Madness has a 7” brace height and measures 32” axle to axle which makes the Bow Madness a very forgiving bow to shoot. Combine it’s smoothness with IBO speeds of 326 fps and you have a bow that is hard to beat!

The Bow Madness is also available in a Ready to Shoot package which includes an Orion sight, Mongoose quiver, Whisker Biscuit arrow rest, peep sight and nocking loop. The bow comes completely tuned, rough sited in at 20 yards, and ready to take to the timber.

Arrows are a very important part of your archery equipment, and although they look the same at first glance, today’s modern technology gives manufacturers the ability to make arrows out of many types of materials.  Let’s take a look at some options when choosing an arrow.

Wood arrows have been around hundreds of years when you look back at archery’s history. Today, however, wood arrows are seldom used because they offer little durability and they are not a consistently straight arrow compared to others.

Aluminum was a very popular choice up until recently, although many archers still prefer aluminum especially with target archers. The biggest con of using aluminum arrows is they are easily bendable when they hit an object other than the target. In a hunting situation, when the arrow passes through the animal and strikes the ground, rocks, or trees, they can bend slightly without the hunter knowing. The next time the arrow is shot, you will have inconsistent results.

Carbon has become the popular choice of bow hunters because it is very durable and will not bend. The arrow is either straight or will break from hitting a hard object. Carbon is very light weight for the amount of material actually needed to make an arrow. Some companies also combine other materials to the carbon such as Kevlar, which makes the arrow even more durable. One thing to keep in mind when using carbon arrows is to make sure the arrows hasn’t splintered from use. This can cause injury if a splintered arrow decides to break apart on the shot.

Just when you think that Mathews cannot make a better bow than anything that they already have out, they go and put out a couple of bows that really are unbelievable. 2009 is a great year to buy a new Mathews. Mathews generally comes out with one main bow, but this year they came out with two great bows.          

The Reezen 6.5 and 7.0 are the bread and butter single cam technology. The Reezen is actually the fastest single cam on the market today and the most parallel limb bow. With an IBO speed of 340fps the Reezen 6.5 is fast, smooth and quiet. The first time that I shot the Reezen I couldn’t believe how smooth of a draw cycle it was. I thought that with 340fps you would have to give up the smooth draw that Mathews always have, but I was wrong. The bow draws great. The Reezen is 32” axle to axle which makes for the perfect length for hunting, short but still long enough to be accurate. The only difference between the Reezen 6.5 and 7.0 is the brace height. I personally would recommend the 6.5, the way that the bow is designed it would be hard to notice the difference in brace height and the 6.5 is going to be faster. Also, the Reezen has some new technology  with String Grubs reducing string vibration and gaining more speed.  The Harmonic Stabalizer is another innovation incorporated into the Reezen which dampens more than 75% of residual vibration, giving the bow little recoil and hardly any hand shock on the shot. If you have not gotten to your Mathews dealer to try and shoot the new Reezen you definetly need to. It will give you a reason to buy a new Mathews.

Mathews other big bow for 2009 is a little different than what you’ll usually find from Mathews. The Monster bow is a twin cam split limb bow that is built for serious speed. With the newest most advanced dual cam technology, the AVS (Advanced Vectoring System) is extremely fast, but also very forgiving and smooth drawing. With an IBO speed of 353fps the Monster is the smoothest drawing speed bow that I have ever shot. Recoil and hand shock are extremely low for a bow that is 353fps and the Monster has a very solid back wall with 80% letoff. The AVS cam is the most efficient  dual cam system on the market and when you try and shoot the Monster you will know why. The Monster has some other new technology besides the cam system. Quad V Lock Limbs are more durable and longer lasting than any previous limb from Mathews and like the Reezen, the Monster also has the Harmonic Stabalizer and String Grub on the bow. The Monster has a 6” brace height and is 33.5” axle to axle which makes it very stable. If you are in the market for a bow and are looking to gain speed make sure you check out the Monster. You will not be disappointed. It’s quieter, smoother and has a better feel than any other bow in it’s class.
