Excalibur Assassin series has proven to be one of the most popular models ever developed due to the world’s first dead-silent integrated crank. Cocking the crossbow has never been easier. Also, at the end of the day, decocking is equally simple. The Assassin Extreme takes that ease of use and adds additional integrated features to make crossbow hunting easier than ever before.

The new integrated stock grip provides positive hand placement for a sure grip while cocking or decocking in any condition. A convenient crank handle storage provides a dedicated place for the crank handle when not in use. No more losing the handle somewhere in a backpack or worse in the field. Now, it’s accessible within inches. All this, coupled with Excalibur’s recurve advantage of fewer moving parts, equals a more reliable piece of equipment.

Additionally, it features Excalibur’s industry leading technologies: Read more

Tarpon Springs, FL – The all-new Hyper Raptor leads the way with premium features, performance-driven innovation, and industry-leading technology to produce the smoothest, fastest, easiest shooting experience on the market. Best of all, Barnett® offers all of this at an incredible retail price!

At the heart of every Barnett crossbow is quality and dependability. As the leading pioneer of the modern crossbow movement, Barnett’s never-compromising focus on precision, safety and performance has earned the trust of hunters from every walk of life and every corner of the world. With over 60 years of experience and scrutinizing every aspect of every crossbow, Barnett is proud to be the world’s #1 manufacturer of crossbows.

The Hyper Raptor excels in every aspect of performance-inspired design and technology. With a lightweight composite riser and measuring just over seven inches axle-to-axle when cocked, the crossbow provides excellent maneuverability in tight-quartered hunting applications. Its pivoting limb pockets put less weight at the front of the crossbow while making a more durable shooting platform with reduced recoil and vibration. With its compact and energy-efficient design, the Hyper Raptor sends small-diameter HyperFlite™ arrows down-range with incredible speed – up to 410 feet per second and 142 ft. lbs. of energy for maximum bone-crushing penetration.

Like all crossbows in the Hyper™ series, the Hyper Raptor is paired with Barnett’s exclusive and patent-pending 20-inch, .204 diameter HyperFlite arrows. The arrow’s 21% increased FOC (front of center) and 61% greater ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift which makes for a deadly combination of blistering speed, downrange accuracy and deeper penetration. With a straightness tolerance of +/- .001 inch, HyperFlite arrows provide more than 25% deeper penetration than the competition. Read more

High Performance Lighted Nocks for the Serious Archer

La Vernia, Texas – Doubletake Archery, creators of innovative products that have been built with the serious archer in mind, is pleased to introduce the HALO Nock. This advanced lighted nock features a streamlined profile and “no-fail” engineered internal components for superior, dependable performance on every shot.

HALO Lighted Nocks are bowstring activated, but unlike others on the market, the HALO Nock cannot accidentally turn on when placing it on your bowstring. No matter how hard you push the nock onto the string, it can’t turn on because it does not activate until it leaves the bowstring. This innovative design also avoids the chance of a “mini-dry fire” that occurs with other lighted nocks that require some “forward slippage” during the shot.

Installation is simple with no assembly required. It is refreshingly simple to use as it turns on automatically with each shot and turning it off is easy and reliable with no tools required. Read more

Now for 2023, Easton has added SONIC 6.0 in a NEW Match Grade .001” specification for bowhunters looking for added accuracy and highest quality.

The SONIC 6.0 made a big splash with bowhunters last year as a brand-new shaft platform in the Easton made-in-USA lineup. SONIC’s lighter overall mass weight offers a wider range of arrow build options. Archers can now opt for a lightweight, high velocity setup using the factory-included aluminum inserts, or they may choose the high-FOC, momentum-producing brass inserts sold separately.

Built at Easton’s Salt Lake City, Utah facility using Easton’s seamless Acu-Carbon process, SONIC 6.0 shafts offer the utmost in matched weight and spine from shaft to shaft and dozen to dozen. This added consistency boosts accuracy and shooter confidence resulting in more success in the field. SONIC 6.0 features another accuracy-building first; factory-fletched helical that uses a 2” Blazer vane, for out-of-the-box broadhead accuracy. Read more

Mogadore, OH– TenPoint Crossbow Technologies recently launched the NEW Flatline 460 Oracle X™. Featuring the Burris®Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope, the Flatline 460 is the fastest compact crossbow the world has ever seen – launching arrows at 460 feet-per-second from a platform measuring only 26.5” short and 7.5” narrow.

“We are excited to team with Burris® on the NEW Flatline 460 Oracle X™ – which takes long-range accuracy in a compact platform to a new level,” said Phil Bednar, CEO. “The entire system, including shorter 16-inch arrows, allows you to navigate the tightest spots without sacrificing speed or accuracy.”

The Burris® Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope features a built-in laser rangefinder that is activated via the wireless remote. With the push of a single button, the Oracle X™ instantly ranges game up to 200-yards away.

Forget the days of “gap shooting” with multiple aim points and reticle patterns – the 2x-7x Oracle X™ displays the distance to your target and provides an exact aiming point factoring in the angle of your shot – leading to greater accuracy and more ethical shots at longer ranges than ever before. In addition, its reticle design allows for 20-yard aiming in the event of a battery failure. The Oracle X™ is backed by Burris’ “No Questions Asked” Forever Warranty.

The crossbow features a custom elevated cheek-piece for perfect eye level alignment with the rangefinding scope, a NEW, longer dovetail (+1.5”) and NEW Scope Struts that provide a rock-solid foundation for scope mounting – leading to enhanced durability and long-range accuracy. The dual aluminum Scope Struts increase strength and rigidity by 80%.

At the heart of the Flatline’s speed and power is a patented reverse-draw bow assembly and 14-inch power stroke. By reversing the bow assembly and changing the riser mounting position, the string’s resting position is extended farther down the rail which creates a 47% longer power stroke than a forward draw crossbow measuring the same length. This increased power stroke provides many advantages over forward draw crossbows: Read more
