Introducing the AXE Crossbows AXE 400

The new-for-2024 the AXE400 Crossbow delivers on speed, accuracy and value all in one exceptional package. Offered by one of the industry’s most progressive crossbow manufacturers, shooters will feel confident taking to the range or the timber with this performance-driven crossbow.

Sending crossbolts down range at speeds up to a deadly 400 feet per second the AXE400 delivers on the high-end performance users have come to expect from AXE Crossbows — without a high-end price tag. Light weight, compact, ambidextrous and extremely adjustable this attractive offering leaves nothing to want. With a state-of-the-art ambidextrous safety mechanism and patented Anti-Dry Fire feature the AXE400’s trigger is just one of the many safety, and performance-driven metrics.

This bow’s backbone is a multi-position buttstock, easy step through foot stirrup and an ergonomic/adjustable foregrip the stock resembles those found on high end tactical firearms. The extruded aluminum rail is designed for repeatable accuracy and pairs perfectly with ultra-durable 200-pound compression molded limbs to deliver feel and function sought after by today’s demanding hunters. The quiver mounting system holds tight against the stock for an improved, streamlined fit and better overall aiming.

A premium AXE optic is ideally matched to the crossbow’s ballistic profile with a 2-7 power x 36mm multi-reticle scope with precision windage and elevation adjustment, that’s sturdily mounted to a cantilever-style mount above the rail. Dual string suppressors and limb dampeners help improve accuracy and eliminate noise while keeping the 400 dead-in-the-hand.

Each AXE400 crossbow package includes a top-end multi-reticle 2-7 power x 36mm scope, removable Quiet Crank cocking device, rope cocking device, three crossbolt side quiver, three PileDriver crossbolts by Carbon Express® with practice points, and rail lubricant to deliver a full turn key package designed to get users in the field quickly and effectively.

Dorsey Discusses America’s Surging Gun Sales and a Revolutionary Way to Store Them in Forbes

With gun sales skyrocketing over the last decade, there are now an estimated 425 to 475 million guns in America. India, with 1.44 billion souls, comes in a distant second to the U.S. in firearm ownership at 71 million guns in civilian hands. With the astronomical surge in American gun ownership—more than 17 million purchased in 2022 alone—there is an unprecedented need to store them… securely.

For Tom Kubiniec, a recovering rock guitarist turned gun storage savant who serves as CEO of SecureIt, a pioneering company that is transforming gun storage and safety, there has long been a glaring need to rethink gun security in America. He speaks in almost evangelistic tones when advocating for gun safety and security. “Traditional gun safes simply don’t address the needs that most gun owners have,” he says. “They want their guns secured from those who shouldn’t have access to them, but they want the right people to access both the guns and their many accessories easily.”

G9 Defense 9mm External Hollow Point Personal Defense Ammo

G9 Defense External Hollow Point™ (EHP™) 9mm is precision-made defensive handgun ammunition that has unmatched reliability and performance. This state-of-the-art external hollow point does not require expansion to create a devastating wound channel. Instead, it utilizes a unique and patented shape to create cavitation by way of fluid dynamics. The result is, the uniform transfer of energy causing a massive wound channel, 5-6 times larger than traditional hollow points, while consistently penetrating to an optimal depth.

The G9 Defense External Hollow Point features a unique, patented, shape that is also designed for the penetration of common barriers such as windshields, drywall and vehicle sheet metal without deflection or projectile deformation. Machined from solid copper, this unique bullet has no possibility of jacket separation, which often renders other defensive ammunition ineffective. It passes right through common barriers without transferring energy so there is still a consistent and dynamic effect on the intended target. This EHP bullet features proprietary geometry on the exterior of the projectile that produces a barrier blind capability and extreme devastation once it encounters fluid-like media at its intended target.

Fiocchi Announces Dedicated Crow Shotshells

Ornithologist Dr. J. Heckel has found that a single crow can be responsible for destroying at least 20 waterfowl eggs per year. Heckle’s research hints that quail plantations, turkey and upland hunters, along with waterfowlers can do their part to enhance game bird populations if they were to simply start hunting crow.

Enter premiere hunting shotshell manufacturer Fiocchi.

Fiocchi has developed a dedicated crow shotshell to maximize crow mortality with a wad that delivers an incredibly dense pattern in a shorter shot string than traditional shotshells.

Whether you are decoying birds into cornfields or hunting timber birds, Fiocchi’s new Caw Caw Cawtridge will deliver devastating results on this uncanny foe.

Up-and-coming YouTuber, TimJoe the Crowhunter, shared his experience with the industry-first shotshell created for crow-hunting enthusiasts.

“I’ve been hunting crows most of my life,” said TimJoe. “In fact, my family and I eat crow almost every day. This new Caw Caw shotshell puts more crow in our kettle and on the grill than anything else I’ve tried. Not only does it help keep us in vittles, but it also helps me feel like I am doing my part to save game birds. After all, you can’t live on crow alone; but if you want to try, check out my YouTube channel for some great crow recipes.”

Another unique feature of the Caw Caw Cawtridge that helps the novice and seasoned hunter alike is the integration of an App-based crow call built into every Caw Caw ammo box. Hunters can bring the box with them into the field and select one of three popular calls: Feeding Crow, Fighting Crows, or Dying Crow. Read more

Bear Hunters Eclipse Harvest Record

Arkansas bear hunters harvested 765 bears during the 2023 hunting season, topping the record by a margin of 100 bears, according to a presentation given by Myron Means at the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s March 21 meeting at the Lodge at Mount Magazine State Park.

Means, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Large Carnivore Program coordinator, said hunters took 665 black bears during archery, muzzleloader and modern gun seasons in 2020, and harvest remained in the high 400s the next two years.

Last year’s record is likely attributed to an earlier opening day of the bear archery season in Bear Zones 1 and 2. Recent seasons opened on the third week in September to be concurrent with deer archery season, but bear hunters in 2023 were able to get out on Sept. 13, a week and a half earlier. Read more
