Plano, IL (January 4, 2016) – Product failure is intolerable when security and lives are at stake, which is why our military and law enforcement communities can’t afford to take chances with their equipment.
In 2015, Plano proudly introduced the Field Locker™ Mil-Spec Case Series; considered by many to be the finest firearms cases ever engineered, and representing the largest single capital outlay made in Plano’s 80-year history. The robust series consisted of five sizes and configurations for the protection of pistols, long-guns and tactical firearms. These cases were engineered and constructed to meet or exceed the exacting requirements of the U.S. Military and law enforcement. Specifically, each of these five cases were certified by an accredited test facility as meeting military specifications for immersion, dust, vibration and transit drop per MIL-STD-810G.
For 2016, this extreme level of performance and protection is now available to bow hunters and competitive archers in the form of the all-new Plano Field Locker Compound Bow Case, arguably the finest and most durable hard molded bow case ever produced. Read more
BLOOMFIELD, New York (JANUARY 4, 2016) Up your game with the fastest, most unique hybrid hunting weapon available! Generating more speed and power than a crossbow while being safer and easier to operate, the Pioneer Airbow by Crosman is a revolution of traditional archery equipment.
Hunters who enjoy the varied experiences that come with rifles, bows and crossbows will instantly gravitate to the Pioneer Airbow for its power, convenience and flexibility. Filled to 3000 PSI and firing full sized arrows, the integrated pressure regulator delivers eight consistent full power shots at a blazing 450 FPS. The convenience of a trigger firing mechanism, top cocking lever with only two pounds of cocking force and compact profile means anyone, regardless of size or strength, can handle the Pioneer. With no cocking rope to lose or tangle, the Pioneer Airbow is especially safe for treestand use.
Jim Shockey, professional hunter and host of “Jim Shockey’s UNCHARTED” and “Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures”, is excited about this new entry into the archery market. “The confluence of quiet, precharged air power and the cutting diameter of today’s broadheads has produced the fantastic groundbreaking Pioneer Airbow and I am confident using it on North American big game,” says Shockey.
Arrows from the Pioneer stabilize quickly, giving shooters an expanded kill range for any game animal. The Airbow features a cocking lever that can be operated with only two fingers and decocking is just as easy. Its accuracy is not affected by canting and it does not require the complex maintenance of crossbows. Simply put, the Pioneer Airbow enhances everything enthusiasts enjoy about archery hunting while making the sport safer and more accessible.
This is an entirely new category of weapon that broadens opportunities for hunters while also renewing opportunities for those who may have left the sport because they are physically unable to draw a compound bow or cock a crossbow,” says Jennifer Lambert, VP of Marketing for Crosman Corporation. “With groups less than 2” at fifty yards and getting there faster than any crossbow, we invite archers of every caliber to give it a try.”
Meet the all-new Plano SPIRE, a compact, molded crossbow case that looks as good as it functions, providing superior Plano-grade protection for today’s modern crossbows at a surprisingly low price.
For all their advantages relative to aiming ease and downrange accuracy, crossbows can be cumbersome to handle, store and transport. But today’s crossbows are changing. Innovative new designs are introduced each year that are lighter and narrower than previous models, providing real benefits with respect to use and handling in the field. A downside to these trends is that it has become increasingly difficult for crossbow users to find the best case to store their equipment. Read more
