Cobra Archery introduced their first hinge release in the company’s 48-year history. After the purchase of the iconic industry brand in 2017, the Major family moved the business to Pennsylvania. Since then, Cobra has introduced to the archery world innovation never known. Their technologies range from bodyless pinch-to-close caliper releases, Radius technology sights and the world’s toughest mechanical broadhead with 0.07” thick blades that require no rings bands or clips. The “Professional” is another example of the consistent innovation being developed at Cobra Archery. This release is made from 100% stainless steel that gives the desired weight and durability the target archers demand. The patented roller sear trigger system is incredibly smooth. Until now all manufactures use the same metal friction approach. “At Cobra Archery we don’t do average” said Jake Major owner and designer of all products. This roller sear has an extra wide roller to disperse hook pressure and to produce an effortless rotation of the shot. The grip is an identical match to the Harvester thumb release. The 100% precision machined Professional has unique fully adjustable hot/cold setting and comes in a three-finger style. The release boasts a spring-loaded hook and head that allows you to address the D-loop in any position. This keeps it firmly in place and always ready. “We have a completely different approach here at Cobra. The key to our designs from our high-end products to our entry level is simplification that leads to brilliance of design. It’s reflected in every product we produce. We truly are #1 in innovation.” – Jake Major. Read more

GW: An interesting angle to tax some outdoor gear…
The Archery Trade Association’s Dan Forster recently authored a letter, with support from 53 other conservation organizations, to the leadership of the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways & Means Committee that encourages them to take corrective action against federal excise tax slippage. FET Slippage is a relatively new issue that affects ATA members and the entire conservation community. In short, millions of federal excise taxes are lost each year through online marketplaces where non-U.S. companies sell products to U.S. consumers.

Because the online process doesn’t recognize internet marketplace facilitators as importers who would otherwise be responsible for paying the federal excise taxes on these transactions, these funds are slipping through the cracks. Unfortunately, that oversight puts American archery manufacturers at an 11% tax disadvantage and hurts state wildlife agencies that rely on FET dollars to conduct necessary habitat restoration, hunter education, wildlife research and other conservation projects.
