Plano Reinvents The Plastic Arrow Box With The All-new Crossbow Max Bolt Case And All-new Arrow Max Case

Plano, IL – Archers’ arrows are where you find them: a few in the bow case, six in the quiver, and a dozen in that cardboard thingy behind the door. Specialized arrow tubes and plastic arrow cases see their share of action too, but have their limitations. Most arrow tubes provide great crush resistance, but access is limited to a narrow opening at one end. Plastic box-type cases provide better access and more efficient storage, but may not be as strong as tubes. Read more

Game & Fish/Sportsman Posts Exclusive Online Review Of New Zeiss Crossbow Scope

Excellent glass and a unique ballistic reticle make Zeiss’ XB75 crossbow scope worth a look for your crossbow hunting. Photo by John Geiger.

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
