Cleveland, OH – The ONYX powered by Steambow is part of the next generation of crossbows and is now available exclusively at Air Venturi.

The ONYX is the industry’s only OPC Crossbow!

Automatically cock and decock the crossbow with the push of a single button for increased safety and convenience. No shooting, pulling or cranking necessary, for minimal effort when you need it the most. Cock the ONYX immediately before shooting with the exclusive OPC. Done hunting and need to safely decock?

Sparta, Wisconsin – The all new 2020 VXR is the most stable, stealthy hunting bow Mathews has ever built. Featuring a new, extended six-bridge riser, the VXR shoots like a target bow, while maintaining the maneuverability of a compact hunting rig.

“After watching our shooters dominate the tournament scene the last couple years, we decided to apply the same extended bridged riser design to our hunting line,” explained Owner and CEO Matt McPherson. “By changing the geometry of the whole bow, we’re able to make the riser longer, while keeping it relatively compact. We’re offering it in both 28” and 31.5” ATA to meet the needs of two styles of hunters, but I must say that the axle-to-axle lengths do not correlate to the added stability these bows give at full draw.” Read more

BROOKVILLE, Pa. — For decades, broadhead engineers have come up with many different gadgets—from O-rings, to plastic collars and even rubber bands—to retain the blades of mechanical broadheads, but those items are often the cause of failure, either in flight or upon impact. The new Spectre Broadhead solves the problem through magnetism. Spectre’s patent-pending, revolutionary magnetic-blade technology holds the blades closed throughout arrow flight, but upon impact, the blades are guaranteed to open instantly for a failureproof deployment that results in massive entry and exit wounds.

The Spectre Broadhead was designed to fly like a field point, and it features a strong, aerodynamic, machined 7075-aluminum ferule with a hardened-carbon-steel four-face chisel tip that provides extremely reliable penetration through hide, flesh and bone. The Spectre Broadhead has thickest, strongest blades of any expandable broadhead on the market. The pair of 0.047-inch-thick razor-sharp, swept-back blades are magnetized to hold them together until the moment of impact, when they reliably deploy to cut a path of destruction. The chisel tip and blades have a gold Cerakote finish for lubricity and wear resistance. Read more

Added features, less weight, rangefinding to 150 yards

SUPERIOR, WI – Introducing the new DEFINE Pro from IQ Bowsights. This premium rangefinder/sight hybrid was built on the foundation of quality construction and the world’s most accurate archery sighting system.

Like its predecessor, this bow-mounted laser rangefinder sight is optimized to deliver the ultimate performance in the field. By combining a laser rangefinder and pin sight into a single unit, the DEFINE Pro allows for precision ranging while at full draw, resulting in less movement during the critical moments leading up to the shot. And with the DEFINE Pro, that precision ranging now features a three-digit display.

Driven by high-performance circuitry, the DEFINE’s laser-rangefinding system provides exceptional resolution with accuracy to +/- 1-yard out to 150 yards, instantly displayed on an illuminated blue OLED strategically placed within the user’s line of sight. One-touch trigger-activated scan mode and full angle compensation take the guesswork out of moving or stationary targets for up to two minutes, eliminating additional movement associated with reaching for a handheld rangefinder. Simply touch the bow-mounted external trigger, view the inline yardage display, select the proper pin and execute the shot. Powered by a single CR2 battery, the rangefinding unit is both compact and lighter in weight that the original DEFINE. Read more
