Michigan S3DA Hosts Indoor State Championship

Williamsburg, KY – In order to comply with the local COVID guidelines, Michigan S3DA hosted the Indoor State Championship at Rising Phoenix in Troy, Michigan and Central Michigan Sportsman’s Club in Stanton, Michigan. The state championship was held over a two-day span with approximately 74 archers participating from 5 S3DA teams. To provide an extra layer of safety, each hosting facility offered multiple line times, provided hand sanitizer, limited the number of spectators, and enforced social distancing and facemasks except for when archers were on the line and in the act of shooting. Central Michigan Goldstar archer, Logan Fouts said, “Even with all the difficulties of trying to remember to put my mask back on, it was great to be able to compete again and shoot with my teammates and other teams.”

One of the line judges, Toni Falk reflected on the event, “What a pleasure it was to be a part of the 2021 MI S3DA State Tournament. Officiating gave me the opportunity to both observe and interact with an amazing group of youth competitors. I was especially touched interacting with two ladies in the same scoring group who were so close in score it appeared that it could go either way. In the very last end, one of the girls shot her best end of the day with five inside out x’s and the other girl had a miss. My thoughts were as I observed the scoring group, this is going to be a hard way to finish for one of these girls, but that was not the case at all. While I quietly observed, the girls moved from scoring the target with the miss to the target with 5 inside out x’s. When the five circled “Xs” were recorded, without hesitation, the archer with the miss recorded in her last end and congratulated her competitor with a high five for the awesome competition and finish. I walked back across the range thinking there is more than one winner at that bail. These kids are so inspiring!” Read more

Ravin Introduces the First Ever Takedown-Style Crossbow

Seriously Small and Extra Wicked: Introducing the Ravin R18

SUPERIOR, WI – Ravin turns traditional crossbow design on its head with the R18, using the new VertiCoil Cam System to compact a full-power crossbow into a weapon a fraction of the size of all others. Unlike any other crossbow in history, the takedown-style R18 is a narrow 4.75 inches wide only 18 inches long without its detachable stock configuration.

The proprietary VertiCoil Cam System that powers the R18 takes already legendary HeliCoil Technology and—literally—cranks it up. This system rotates the R18’s ultra-small cams 720 degrees, wrapping the crossbow string and cables around the cam and cam axle, resulting in an astounding axle-to-axle height of just 1.3 inches when cocked.

Burris Optics Revolutionizes Crossbow Hunting with Oracle X

GREELEY, Colo. – Ten years ago Burris Optics revolutionized riflescopes with the Eliminator rangefinding, ballistic compensating riflescope. Last year they changed the traditional bow hunting game with the introduction of the Burris Oracle rangefinding bow sight. This year they are continuing their legacy of innovation and leading the industry with the introduction of the Oracle X, the first rangefinding crossbow scope! https://www.burrisoptics.com/bowsights/oracle/oracle-x-crossbow-scope

“One of the major limitations for bow hunters is judging target distance, trajectory and guessing point of impact with distances between sight pins,” said Todd Fulton, national sales manager. “Just as the original Oracle bow sight changed traditional bow hunting by eliminating those variables, the Oracle X solves those issues for crossbow hunters. We are seeing an increase in crossbow hunting and know we can use our experience with rangefinding technology to help crossbow hunters tag out more often.”

The Oracle X is a 2-7x variable zoom scope that features a built-in laser rangefinder. After ranging your target with the wireless remote or the button on top the scope the Oracle X provides the exact distance to your target (out to 200 yards) and instantly provides an exact aiming point for your crossbow and bolt set up. An integrated inclinometer factors in the angle of the shot for step angles and shots commonly encountered in treestand hunting. The Oracle X is lightweight and robust enough to withstand any weather condition (waterproof, shockproof, fogproof) and Burris back this optic with their Forever Warranty! Read more
