The Burt Coyote Co. Issues PSA Regarding Ravin & Excalibur Nock Purchasers

The Burt Coyote Company, makers of the Lumenok, the brightest, most dependable lighted nocks on the market issues a PSA regarding Ravin and Excalibur lighted crossbow nocks.

Earlier this year Ravin Crossbows LLC, which is owned by Velocity Outdoor, ended their partnership with Lumenok, which was outsourcing the development of their lighted nocks and brought manufacturing in house. In doing so a different nock process has been implemented and as a result Lumenok has received a continuum of phone calls, emails and correspondence from customers thinking they are buying Lumenok built nocks for their Ravin crossbows when issues arise.

SCI and SAF File Intent to Sue Education Department Over Archery & Hunter Education Policies

Washington, D.C.— On Friday, August 11, 2023, Safari Club International, along with the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation, sent a notice of intent to sue the Department of Education over the Department’s misinterpretation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), which would prohibit the use of federal funds for shooting sports, hunter education, and outdoor education programs in schools.

Co-sponsors and authors of the BSCA have repeatedly confirmed that it was not intended to restrict funding for these programs. Rather, these programs are vital to helping students find safe and healthy outlets—and to develop a love of the outdoors.

SCI and SAF’s notice of intent to sue warns the Department that its interpretation of the BSCA is arbitrary and capricious, in violation of federal law. It requests a response within ten days, or the organizations will have no choice but to file suit. These shooting sports and hunter education programs are far too important to allow this funding uncertainty to continue.

“SCI is disheartened by the Administration’s lack of urgency in correcting their misinterpretation of the BSCA,” said Ben Cassidy, SCI EVP of International Government and Public Affairs. “Congress has repeatedly confirmed that this was not the BSCA’s intent. The Department must understand there are consequences for ignoring the crucial role these programs play in helping kids learn new skills, enjoy the outdoors, and understand the importance of conservation.” Read more

Get More Distance with Easton 4mm Axis Long Range

Salt Lake City, Utah – When 5MM AXIS came on the scene it revolutionized hunting arrows. The small shaft innovation offered better accuracy and mitigated friction to retain velocity and add penetration. Now the concept has gone forward to the next level with the introduction of the new 4MM AXIS Long Range.

The Long Rang AXIS will offer bowhunters even more of what they want in a micro diameter arrow. 4mm AXIS uses a lighter weight carbon for more speed to the target in order to drive broadheads deeper upon impact. “Additionally, it adds penetration as the shaft passes through with less friction behind the broadhead channel” said Gary Cornum, Easton Director of Marketing. “Millions of successful hunts testify to the awesome effectiveness of a simple concept that equates to more downed big game—it’s like getting magnum ammunition made for a bow.”

Made in Easton’s Utah factory, the AXIS Long Range is engineered with specialized carbon-fiber to increase arrow velocity. Easton 4mm nocks and front-of-center boosting 8-32 half-outs are included to help tighten arrow grouping. 4MM AXIS Long Range is available in four sizes, 250, 300, 340, and 400 in both standard straightness and in the ultra-precise ±.001 Match Grade.

    • High-strength, lighter weight carbon adds velocity for longer range
    • Includes 8-32-point half-outs
    • Pre-installed 4mm nocks
    • Four sizes: 250, 300, 340, & 400
    • Available in standard straightness and in the ±.001” Match Grade
    • Made in USA
