Terra XB75 boasts great glass, unique ballistic reticle in this growing segment of the hunting industry

Kennesaw, Ga. – The first review of Zeiss’ first-ever crossbow scope is now online, and hunters can now decide if the new Terra XB75 is worth the $400-plus price tag.

The review is at gafmag.com/zeiss-xb75.

John Geiger, senior editor at Game & Fish/Sportsman magazine and the editor of Crossbow Revolution, found that the German-engineered and -designed 2-7×32 rifle-style crossbow scope performed as billed and offered some innovative features. He also had a few suggestions for making it even better.

Glass is the heart of any scope, and the writer found that Zeiss’ MC coatings on the Schott glass were excellent, especially for a scope that hunters would likely use within 75 yards. Zeiss is known for quality optics that are effective at hundreds of yards for long-range rifle hunting. While crossbows can be accurate to more than 100 yards, environmental conditions, hunter skill, crossbow power and other factors often reduce the actual point-of-impact accuracy and kinetic energy at longer distances. As a result, most crossbow hunters consider an ethical shooting distance to be about 40 yards. At that distance and beyond, this glass will give hunters excellent clarity at first light and at last light, when game is often most active.

The scope’s reticle is designed to give the hunter quick arrow-drop compensation. Hunters can choose an aiming point from 17 1/2 yards all the way to 75 yards at an amazing 2 1/2-yard increments – without adjusting on the fly. Read more

Memphis, Michigan – G5® Outdoors, the leading designer and manufacturer of premium archery equipment has raised the bowhunting bar again with the introduction of the Prime Ion; joining an extensive line of high performance compound bows.

Bowhunters are an energized and motivated bunch who will go to extreme lengths to find the perfect spot for sighting a mature whitetail deer.

The new Prime Ion is compact and lightweight boasting an electric combination of three new features that take accuracy to the next level. The PCXL parallel cam has extended its adjustment range up to an 85% let-off for increased comfort when those important minutes at full draw feel like hours. The Flexis-AR roller guard reduces torque on the cables and improves tuning capability for added shot assurance. Moreover, the redesigned 7000 series aluminum riser with integrated Ghost Grip is lighter than ever, yet is still the strongest in the industry and brings unparalleled balance together with minimal weight to help keep bowhunters on target.
