Barnett Hyper Raptor Crossbow

Tarpon Springs, FL – The all-new Hyper Raptor leads the way with premium features, performance-driven innovation, and industry-leading technology to produce the smoothest, fastest, easiest shooting experience on the market. Best of all, Barnett® offers all of this at an incredible retail price!

At the heart of every Barnett crossbow is quality and dependability. As the leading pioneer of the modern crossbow movement, Barnett’s never-compromising focus on precision, safety and performance has earned the trust of hunters from every walk of life and every corner of the world. With over 60 years of experience and scrutinizing every aspect of every crossbow, Barnett is proud to be the world’s #1 manufacturer of crossbows.

The Hyper Raptor excels in every aspect of performance-inspired design and technology. With a lightweight composite riser and measuring just over seven inches axle-to-axle when cocked, the crossbow provides excellent maneuverability in tight-quartered hunting applications. Its pivoting limb pockets put less weight at the front of the crossbow while making a more durable shooting platform with reduced recoil and vibration. With its compact and energy-efficient design, the Hyper Raptor sends small-diameter HyperFlite™ arrows down-range with incredible speed – up to 410 feet per second and 142 ft. lbs. of energy for maximum bone-crushing penetration.

Like all crossbows in the Hyper™ series, the Hyper Raptor is paired with Barnett’s exclusive and patent-pending 20-inch, .204 diameter HyperFlite arrows. The arrow’s 21% increased FOC (front of center) and 61% greater ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift which makes for a deadly combination of blistering speed, downrange accuracy and deeper penetration. With a straightness tolerance of +/- .001 inch, HyperFlite arrows provide more than 25% deeper penetration than the competition. Read more

Doubletake Archery Introduces HALO Nock

High Performance Lighted Nocks for the Serious Archer

La Vernia, Texas – Doubletake Archery, creators of innovative products that have been built with the serious archer in mind, is pleased to introduce the HALO Nock. This advanced lighted nock features a streamlined profile and “no-fail” engineered internal components for superior, dependable performance on every shot.

HALO Lighted Nocks are bowstring activated, but unlike others on the market, the HALO Nock cannot accidentally turn on when placing it on your bowstring. No matter how hard you push the nock onto the string, it can’t turn on because it does not activate until it leaves the bowstring. This innovative design also avoids the chance of a “mini-dry fire” that occurs with other lighted nocks that require some “forward slippage” during the shot.

Installation is simple with no assembly required. It is refreshingly simple to use as it turns on automatically with each shot and turning it off is easy and reliable with no tools required. Read more

Easton SONIC 6.0 Now Available

Now for 2023, Easton has added SONIC 6.0 in a NEW Match Grade .001” specification for bowhunters looking for added accuracy and highest quality.

The SONIC 6.0 made a big splash with bowhunters last year as a brand-new shaft platform in the Easton made-in-USA lineup. SONIC’s lighter overall mass weight offers a wider range of arrow build options. Archers can now opt for a lightweight, high velocity setup using the factory-included aluminum inserts, or they may choose the high-FOC, momentum-producing brass inserts sold separately.

Built at Easton’s Salt Lake City, Utah facility using Easton’s seamless Acu-Carbon process, SONIC 6.0 shafts offer the utmost in matched weight and spine from shaft to shaft and dozen to dozen. This added consistency boosts accuracy and shooter confidence resulting in more success in the field. SONIC 6.0 features another accuracy-building first; factory-fletched helical that uses a 2” Blazer vane, for out-of-the-box broadhead accuracy. Read more

TenPoint Launches Fastest Compact Crossbow Ever with Rangefinding Scope

Mogadore, OH– TenPoint Crossbow Technologies recently launched the NEW Flatline 460 Oracle X™. Featuring the Burris®Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope, the Flatline 460 is the fastest compact crossbow the world has ever seen – launching arrows at 460 feet-per-second from a platform measuring only 26.5” short and 7.5” narrow.

“We are excited to team with Burris® on the NEW Flatline 460 Oracle X™ – which takes long-range accuracy in a compact platform to a new level,” said Phil Bednar, CEO. “The entire system, including shorter 16-inch arrows, allows you to navigate the tightest spots without sacrificing speed or accuracy.”

The Burris® Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope features a built-in laser rangefinder that is activated via the wireless remote. With the push of a single button, the Oracle X™ instantly ranges game up to 200-yards away.

Forget the days of “gap shooting” with multiple aim points and reticle patterns – the 2x-7x Oracle X™ displays the distance to your target and provides an exact aiming point factoring in the angle of your shot – leading to greater accuracy and more ethical shots at longer ranges than ever before. In addition, its reticle design allows for 20-yard aiming in the event of a battery failure. The Oracle X™ is backed by Burris’ “No Questions Asked” Forever Warranty.

The crossbow features a custom elevated cheek-piece for perfect eye level alignment with the rangefinding scope, a NEW, longer dovetail (+1.5”) and NEW Scope Struts that provide a rock-solid foundation for scope mounting – leading to enhanced durability and long-range accuracy. The dual aluminum Scope Struts increase strength and rigidity by 80%.

At the heart of the Flatline’s speed and power is a patented reverse-draw bow assembly and 14-inch power stroke. By reversing the bow assembly and changing the riser mounting position, the string’s resting position is extended farther down the rail which creates a 47% longer power stroke than a forward draw crossbow measuring the same length. This increased power stroke provides many advantages over forward draw crossbows: Read more

TenPoint Stealth 450 Oracle X

Mogadore, OH — TenPoint Crossbow Technologies recently launched the NEW Stealth 450 Oracle X™. Featuring the Burris®Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope that extends long-range precision and accuracy, the Stealth 450 is the fastest forward draw crossbow with a rangefinding scope – launching arrows at a lightning fast 450 feet-per-second with a platform measuring only 6.5” narrow and 33” short.

“We are excited to team with Burris® on the NEW Stealth 450 Oracle X™,” said Phil Bednar, CEO. “The precision of this rangefinding scope allows hunters to be more accurate at longer ranges, and, in the end, we all want to maximize our effective, ethical killing range—the Stealth 450 Oracle X™ does just that.”

The Burris® Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope features a built-in laser rangefinder that is activated via the wireless remote. With the push of a single button, the Oracle X™ instantly ranges game up to 200-yards away.

Forget the days of “gap shooting” with multiple aim points and reticle patterns – the 2x-7x Oracle X™ displays the distance to your target and provides an exact aiming point factoring in the angle of your shot – leading to greater accuracy and more ethical shots at longer ranges than ever before. In addition, its reticle design allows for 20-yard aiming in the event of a battery failure. The Oracle X™ is backed by Burris’ “No Questions Asked” Forever Warranty. Read more

The Fastest Compact Crossbow Ever Created, Meet the 460 Feet-Per-Second, 26.5” Short Flatline 460™

Mogadore, OH. TenPoint Crossbows continues its dominance in crossbow speed, accuracy, and shoot-ability with the fastest compact crossbow the world has ever seen – the NEW Flatline 460.

Designed to deliver elite performance from the smallest footprint possible, the Flatline shoots a blistering 460 feet-per-second, measures only 26.5” short, and is equipped with all-new Scope Struts that provide rock solid mounting for the scope – delivering unrivaled durability and accuracy.

“The Flatline 460 is designed for the hardcore hunter – the hunter who walks a little further, sits a little longer, and needs to make the most of that split second opportunity when it presents itself,” said Phil Bednar, CEO. “With its micro footprint – including shorter 16-inch arrows – it provides all the advantages of a low profile without sacrificing speed or accuracy.

At the heart of the Flatline’s speed and power is a patented reverse-draw bow assembly and 14-inch power stroke. By reversing the bow assembly and changing the riser mounting position, the string’s resting position is extended farther down the rail which creates a 47% longer power stroke than a forward draw crossbow measuring the same length. This increased power stroke provides many advantages over forward draw crossbows:

  • Generates top-end speeds that no forward draw crossbow can match
  • Generates more speed with less draw weight – creating a smoother, quieter shot, with less shock and vibration
  • Creates a longer nock-to-string engagement time during the shot – leading to greater accuracy

In addition, the center-mounted riser provides superior balance, eliminating the “nose heavy” feel of traditional crossbows and making it easier to hold steady, increasing the shooters accuracy. Read more

NEW TenPoint Stealth 450™ Built for Premium Speed, Greater Long-Range Accuracy, and Safe De-Cocking

Mogadore, OH. TenPoint Crossbow Technologies launched their fastest forward draw crossbow ever – the NEW Stealth 450. Faster and more accurate at longer ranges, the Stealth 450 delivers speeds of 450 FPS (400-grain arrow) and features the industry best ACUslide™ silent cocking and safe de-cocking system. The ultra-compact crossbow measures a mere 6.5-inches wide, 33-inches long, and weighs 7.5-pounds.

Fueled by RX6-Cams™, the forward draw bow assembly is the difference maker for the Stealth 450. The innovative cam system generates incredible rotation to produce speeds of 450 feet-per-second. The crossbow’s revolutionary Vector-Quad™ cable technology utilizes four cables instead of the traditional two which eliminates cam lean and generates straight-nock travel leading to same-hole down-range accuracy.

The Stealth generates greater down-range accuracy thanks to the combination of its NEW Scope Struts and 100-yard EVO-X® Marksman™ Elite Scope. The dual Scope Struts, along with a NEW, longer dovetail (+1.5”) provide rock-solid stability for the heaviest of rangefinding or night vision scopes and exponential durability for the scope – ensuring the scope rail does not move if dropped during the hunt. The Scope Struts increase strength and rigidity by 80%.

The EVO-X Marksman Elite Scope is a variable speed scope, capable of precision down-range accuracy out to 100-yards. The variable speed design is compatible with crossbows shooting up to 500 FPS, the Marksman Elite scope features external Target Turrets for easy adjustment to windage and elevation (one click represents ½” MOA at 100-yards) for unmatched long-range accuracy.

In addition, a rail-mounted bubble level allows you to identify and correct any “canting” of the crossbow, helping to eliminate left and right misses. Read more

ATA, Partners Complete New Video The Currency of Conservation: Archery’s Impact

A new educational video “The Currency of Conservation: Archery’s Impact” is available for industry members to use and share. The video will help people understand how federal excise taxes are collected, distributed and used for conservation projects.

The video was completed through a 2021 multistate conservation grant awarded to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. ATA staff helped facilitate the connection between Easton Technical Products, Hoyt, and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources through the Partner with a Payer program, which works to increase the understanding between manufacturers who pay excise taxes and state agencies who use them.

ATA’s Vice President and Chief Conservation Officer Dan Forster said the video sheds light on the FET process and will be a useful resource for educators and the industry.

“This video provides an incredible educational tool for hunters and conservationists as it captures the essence of collaboration, criticality, and history of the partnerships forged between excise tax-paying manufacturers like Easton and the wildlife and habitat work done by state fish and wildlife agencies through the Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration Program,” he said. “This quality production shares the story of conservation funding in the United States and why we are so blessed to have abundant wildlife, quality habitat, hunting, and robust access paid for through this incredible conservation funding model.” Read more
