Groundbreaking Patent Issued for Crossbows

Oslo, Norway – Krysse AS, a Norwegian company, announces a revolutionary breakthrough in newly patented cam-assist technology that can be applied across various crossbow platforms.

“On July 28 of this year, the United States Patent and Trademark office issued Krysse AS the Thalberg Patent,” stated Krysse AS CEO Petter Hatlem. “The patent makes bow handling, specifically crossbow handling, significantly easier for everyone. Essentially, it will eliminate crossbow anxiety and opens the door for a wider range of crossbow shooters.”

In addition to the handling of the crossbow, the Thalberg Patent also allows the end user to:

    • Cock the crossbow at a lower starting poundage, then take the bow to full weight with the touch of a button
    • Just as easily take the full weight off the crossbow with the touch of a button
    • Practice shooting more often with ease
    • And it allows crossbow dealers to demonstration their complete product line safely

Barnett Offers Pre-Installed CCDs on Select Crossbow Models

Grand Prairie, TX – You asked, and we listened. The folks at Barnett are on a constant quest to make crossbows a convenient tool for every hunter. Crank cocking devices (CCDs) are a great way to do just that, and in response to overwhelming demand from our dealers and customers, we’re now shipping several popular Barnett crossbow models with pre-installed CCDs.

One of the most common concerns among crossbow users, especially new ones, is the strength required to draw a crossbow. Most bows come with a basic rope-cocking device that provides a mechanical advantage to reduce draw weight by up to 50 percent. That may be enough for an average crossbow shooter, but many need or want more reduction. Some folks are also intimidated by the complexity of hooks, pulleys and attachment points with a standard rope cocker. Read more

NSSF Cancels 2021 SHOT Show

Statement from NSSF President & CEO Joe Bartozzi:

Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases throughout the world, NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, today makes the difficult announcement that the 2021 SHOT Show has been cancelled.

NSSF has remained in constant communication with Nevada officials throughout the year in our planning for the 2021 show. While there has been a concerted effort to expand the allowable levels for large gatherings by the county and state, with positivity rates peaking during our key planning period we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 show. Sadly, these spikes are currently transpiring worldwide. Given the sheer complexities, diminishing timeline and immense logistical planning required to conduct a trade show as large as SHOT, NSSF simply could not move forward at this point with so many unknowns and variables. We truly appreciate the guidance of Nevada and Las Vegas officials in allowing us to communicate this news to our exhibitors and attendees well in advance of the show. We would also like to thank the Sands directly for their help and efforts to navigate this unprecedented situation. Read more

Barnett’s TS380 Awarded Great Buy by Outdoor Life’s Editor

Grand Prairie, TX – Outdoor Life’s hunting editor spent weeks shooting, evaluating and ranking the top flagship crossbows of 2020. The results are in, and Barnett’s TS380 was awarded Outdoor Life Editor’s Great Buy Award!

“For the money, the Barnett TS380 is as good as you can get in the 2020 lineup, and was a shoo-in for this year’s Great Buy. It was easy to cock with a traditional rope, plus it was safe and the fit and finish were remarkable for the price,” Will Brantley, Outdoor Life’s Hunting Editor, noted in his review. “It has plenty of speed and power. It sports a crisp, 3-pound 6-ounce TriggerTech trigger and an adjustable stock. I averaged 2.45-inch 50-yard groups with it, and I can’t think of many hunting scenarios where that won’t do the trick.” Read more
