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

Now Available as Aperture-Only Model for an Easy Upgrade

In 2018, TRUGLO, Inc. launched the Archer’ Choice RANGE•ROVER™ PRO DUO, a two-dot LED system based on the popular RANGE•ROVER PRO. The DUO model retains all the features of the original RANGE•ROVER PRO, while adding an additional red LED inside of the lens. This additional aiming reference allows long range shooters to accurately shoot beyond the range of the calibrated tape. The red dot also provides a helpful reference at shorter, more common hunting distances; when the green dot is set to 20-yards, the red dot approximates a 50-yard point of aim for most hunting set-ups. This reference helps archers estimate additional hold when needed – even at full draw. Read more

Chances are high we’ve all been there. If you’re a hunter, you’ve likely had the experience of shooting an animal and watching it run off into the trees, over the ridge, or somewhere out of site.
