Remove All Doubt with GutCheck® Arrow Wipes

There’s no denying that modern archery equipment is making hunters more capable with each new technological development. Having faith in your archery equipment may be the single most important factor in determining a hunter’s success. When that pivotal moment finally comes together, when all of your practice and preparation are combined with being in the right place at the right time and you’re able to take that one shot at your next trophy, GutCheck® Indicators will be there with you to ensure your shot hits exactly where you want it.

There’s an indescribable feeling we experience immediately after shooting a big game animal. That remains true regardless of how much time you’ve spent in the woods or how many big game animals you’ve harvested. However, it’s never truer than when hunting with archery equipment. In those moments immediately after a shot an overwhelming rush of feelings and emotions can consume a hunter. Archery hunters all over the world have experienced this feeling. In those moments after seeing your game run off, it’s not uncommon to experience some level of question and concern about shot placement. “Is he down or should I wait?” “Did I hit it a little far back?” “Was it a lung shot or a gut shot?” “Should I back out until morning?” Now, thanks to technology from GutCheck® Indicators, your arrow can hold the answer for you as to where the animal was hit and offer some insight into appropriate next action.

Whether you’re hunting to add food to your family table or mounts to your wall, or a combination of the two, taking an ethical clean shot is always the goal. With arrow wipes from GutCheck® Indicators you can instantly confirm whether your shot placement made a clean pass through the vitals or through the digestive tract of the animal. With that important piece of information, hunters can determine whether it’s safe to pursue the animal or best to back out and wait for the animal to safely expire before beginning to track the blood trail. Take arrow wipes from GutCheck® Indicators with you on your next hunt and take away the guesswork. Read more

Optics and Ethics of Technology

Relative to hunting, the term “fair chase” could be defined in many ways depending on the subjective perspectives of sportsmen and women across the land.  Fortunately, conservation groups such as the Pope and Young Club have already put a lot of thought into hunting ethics as a guide to those that want to do the right thing afield.  Of course, ethics is another conceptual idea that needs boundaries apart from the written law.

With the ever-increasing advent of electronics and all manner of technology being incorporated into hunting gear, it becomes easy to blur the line between what’s fair and what is not.  A new product named the Omega is one such sighting device that uses a mil-dot sight, real-time rangefinder up to 600 yards, and HD Video camera.  All this comes in one neat package that accommodates vertical bows, crossbows, shotguns, rifles, black powder, or even handguns and it comes with all the necessary hardware to mount it accordingly.

The first ethical question should be is it legal in Michigan (or any state that you may hunt)?  In terms of Michigan regulations, since it employs a common mil-dot reticle in its scope, there’s nothing unfair about that aspect of the apparatus.  There is also no rule against recording a hunt with a camera, nor are rangefinders prohibited.

The Omega addresses an issue I’ve had with my crossbow since the day I began using it:  ranging an animal with a separate rangefinder.  To do so, requires movement on the part of the hunter – a distinct disadvantage to taking game.  While today’s fast bows minimize rainbow trajectory, crossbows – especially lower velocity models like mine – are problematic.  Compared to typical, conventional vertical bows, the crossbows ‘ arrows/bolts shed velocity faster than vertical bows’ projectiles when weight for weight is equal.  That means a slight miscalculation in distance to the target could mean a miss or worse yet, wounding an animal.  Nobody wants that.

Digging deeper into the ethics questions, a position statement from the Pope and Young Club may help.  The Pope and Young Club is a non-profit North American conservation and bowhunting organization dedicated to the promotion and protection of bowhunting by striving to increase awareness and appreciation of bowhunting foundations, principles, and values. The Pope and Young Club is focused on Fair Chase hunting ethics that support the ethical pursuit of free-ranging, wild game animals without unfair advantage, while promoting the conservation of both habitat and wildlife. (The Club also maintains the universally recognized repository of records and statistics on North American big game animals harvested with a bow and arrow.)

Before taking any shot, it is paramount for any sportsman to consider if the shot will result in a humane kill.  If not, it may be legal but certainly is not ethical, and in my book that makes it unfair.

Therefore, the Omega sight checks the boxes of fairness and if $400 fits into one’s budget, it may be worth investigation.  Manufactured by Lil Bow Peep, LLC, of Medina, Ohio, information and purchase information is available at www.omegasights.com.

Introducing Axe Crossbows

Performance. Optimized.

Superior, WI – Forged for the fury of the field, Axe Crossbows have been engineered from the ground up to deliver an unparalleled shooting experience. Balance, accuracy, safety, speed, durability and stealth – like nothing the hunting world has experienced before. Compact by design, but colossal with its features, the new Axe AX405 crossbow is best characterized as; Performance. Optimized.

Thousands of hours in research and development have culminated into a configuration that widely departs from average in look, feel and efficiency. Historically, balance, weight and sound have all been the bane of crossbow designs and use. Axe cuts through those barriers with an optimized system that leverages the sum of all parts to deliver unprecedented performance and accuracy. With industry changing specs, the AX405 boasts 69% less felt recoil and 92% less sound resonance than comparable models.

At a compact and maneuverable 27.75-inches long and less than 10-inches axle-to-axle (cocked) the weight of the crossbow is centered over the shooter’s hand by way of a balanced shoot-through stock and riser design combined with a reverse limb system. This configuration empowers the most efficient part of the AX405’s split limbs to deliver bolt speeds in excess of 405 feet-per-second, from just 13-inches of power stroke. A proprietary cam system is linked by cables that run parallel to each other, rather than from the top of one cam, to the bottom of the other. This unique configuration eliminates cam-lean, limb torque and is further enhanced by an exclusive cable brace that engages the riser to aid in the limitation of flex away from the center of the crossbow. When combined, these features allow the string to move along the same plane throughout the entire power stroke. Unlike the one-piece aluminum rail concepts of conventional crossbow designs that rob speed, efficiency and bolt life, the stock of the AX405 eliminates the rail and utilizes dual carbon guide rods along the entire length of the stock. When combined with the shoot through riser and a tunable roller rest on the bow’s front end these features create a free-floating arrow system that mitigates contact, friction and torque along the arrow’s entire path further enhancing efficiency, accuracy and speed output. Amplifying the bow’s performance is a proprietary and industry-first small diameter (.166 I.D.) bolt system constructed to deliver extreme accuracy, durability, penetration and safety at a head-turning 17-inches long. The interaction between the bolt’s premium aluminum capture nock system and the bow’s string create an audible sound to note full connection and preparation to interface with the trigger system.
