Leupold Launches New RX-Fulldraw 4 Rangefinder Featuring Game-Changing Archer’s Advantage Software

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., has announced the launch of the RX-Fulldraw 4, a game-changing new archery rangefinder that uses your personal ballistics, shot distance, and angle compensation to calculate laser-accurate ranges based on your specific gear. Using the acclaimed Archer’s Advantage software, the RX-Fulldraw 4 uses your draw weight, arrow velocity, and peep height to calculate extremely accurate ballistic solutions.

The latest addition to Leupold’s respected Fulldraw line, the RX-Fulldraw 4 comes packed with features that modern archers want in their laser rangefinder.

“Your bow is custom-built to suit you, so your rangefinder should be, too,” said Eric Overstreet, Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The RX-Fulldraw 4 is the very first rangefinder to offer archers a true custom ballistic solution. By accounting for weight, velocity, and peep height, it can calculate a shoot-to distance for both vertical bow and crossbow shooters. Archers know that even an inch can make a difference. The Fulldraw 4 is the rangefinder that will close that gap.” Read more

Newest Archery Gear and Speed

By Glen Wunderlich

Any experienced hunter knows speed kills. Whether it’s a centerfire rifle or bow and arrow, faster projectiles equal flatter trajectory, less guesswork and more ethical results afield. With more generous equipment regulations nationwide, crossbows have taken a larger share of the archery market over the past decade.

In Michigan, legislators enacted an inane “speed limit” on hunting crossbows at a maximum of 350 feet per second (fps), when they were first legalized for the general public. This shortsighted decision was eventually overturned and the speed limit was lifted. Since then, manufacturers have engaged in a race to pace the field and some remarkable innovations have come about. What follows are some of the latest inventions to hit the market.

* TenPoint Crossbow Technologies launched the Viper S400 at the 2020 ATA Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. TenPoint’s shortest forward-draw crossbow ever, the Viper S400 measures just 32-inches in length yet delivers speeds up to 400 fps and features the revolutionary ACUslide™ cocking and de-cocking system. The super-compact crossbow measures an ultra-narrow 7.2-inches wide and weighs an incredible half-pound less than previous TenPoint flagship models.

* TenPoint has launched the Vengent S440 – the fastest and narrowest forward-draw (or, reverse limb) crossbow ever delivering lightning speeds up to 440 fps measuring a scant 5.8-inches wide.

* Also. from TenPoint is the Vapor RS470 delivering supercharged speeds up to 470 FPS and featuring the new revolutionary ACUslide™ cocking and de-cocking system – the first safe option to de-cock a crossbow with a crank.

* Barnett’s all-new Hyperflite EVO 420™ features an entirely new and unique riser-mounted cam design that creates increased limb action and whip while reducing recoil and vibration making for longer-lasting cables and more speed.

The aluminum HyperFlite track reduces arrow contact to just the tip and nock while the shaft of the arrow floats above the track; as a result, the HyperFlite EVO 420 delivers best-in-class downrange accuracy. Pairing the HyperFlite EVO 420 with Barnett’s exclusive .204 small-diameter HyperFlite arrows makes for a deadly, accurate combination of blistering 420 fps speed and up to 25 percent greater penetration.

* From Frankenmuth, Michigan comes the Killer Instinct®, SPEED™ 425 producing an unstoppable amount of energy at 425fps. This electrifying speed is controlled with sniper precision from the Killer Instinct LUMIX™ Speed Ring Scope, which instantly matches the 20-100-yard reticle to be sighted in and provide HD clarity in low light conditions.

* Also from Frankenmuth is the SWAT™ XP. Years of research, design and testing have resulted in an ultra-compact 27-inch crossbow shooting 415 FPS and cocks down to 9-inches wide.

Camping World Closing 27 Gander Mountains

Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis has announced that twenty-seven former Gander Mountain retail stores will close by the end of January. Camping World spent $100 million buying outdoor retailers in 2017 and 2018, but sold many off in 2019 as the RV industry slowed down. Now, the company says it will maintain the Gander RV as a retail brand under the Camping World portfolio, but would strategically shift away from stores that cannot sell and service RVs. Restructuring costs are estimated at $56 million. The company’s three RV sales and/or service locations will operate under three names: Camping World, Gander RV and Outdoors, and Gander RV.
