TenPoint Releases Titan M1 Crossbow

Mogadore, OH. Crossbow leader TenPoint Crossbow Technologies unveiled its new Titan M1 model at the 2019 ATA Trade Show. A radical makeover of the all-time best-selling Titan model, the Titan M1 is an incredible 9.5” narrower, 30 feet-per-second faster, and $100 cheaper than its predecessor. Starting at $699.99, it offers an incredible performance-to-value ratio never seen before in the crossbow industry.

“The Titan M1 is primed to take market share in 2019 due to its combination of extreme narrow width and price point.” Bednar said. “The Titan has been our best-selling model for over ten years. This version is the best in all ways imaginable. It’s radically narrower, faster, lighter weight, and lower priced – changes we believe will extend the model’s incredible run for years to come.”

The NEW M1 bow assembly measures a radically compact 9-inches axle-to-axle when cocked. NEW VX-5™ reverse cams elongate the power-stroke and increase rotation to produce devastating speed of up to 370 feet-per-second and pin-point down-range accuracy. Its machined riser is fitted with 11-inch TPX™ limbs, DynaFLIGHT 97 string and cables, and sleek, lightweight, aluminum limb pockets. Read more

Federal Appeals Court Dismisses Mass. AG’s Appeal

Firearms Retailers, NSSF Federal Suit Against ‘Enforcement Notice’ Goes Forward

NEWTOWN, Conn. — A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on Wednesday, just hours after hearing oral argument, dismissed an appeal filed by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey in a federal lawsuit brought by four federally-licensed Massachusetts firearms retailers and the National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry. The lawsuit challenging Healey’s 2016 “Enforcement Notice” will go forward unimpeded. In 2018, a federal district court judge in Worcester had denied Healey’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit finding that the plaintiffs had asserted valid federal due process claims.

“We are very pleased that the judges saw the total lack of merit in the appeal and, in a rare move, dismissed it the very same day they heard oral arguments, Attorney General Healey’s frivolous attempt to prevent part of this suit from moving ahead based on state law claims that were not even being made,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel.

The lawsuit states that Healey overstepped her legal authority and deprived the retailers of their due process protections guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. The action seeks declaratory relief and a permanent injunction enjoining enforcement. Read more

Firearms Industry Opposes Assault Weapons Ban

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms and ammunition, today announced that it opposes the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019 introduced in the U.S. Senate this week.

The legislation introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), like earlier versions, relies on wrongfully defining commonly-owned semi-automatic rifles based on certain cosmetic features. The new version of this legislation, however, expands ways to ban the most-popular center-fire rifle in America. Since the original Assault Weapons Ban expired in 2004, more than 16 million of these rifles have been legally purchased for lawful purposes.

“It is disappointing to see politicians continue to pursue a failed policy agenda that has proven ineffective in improving public safety and will deny law-abiding citizens their Constitutional right,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel. “Despite what proponents may say, the record shows that Sen. Feinstein’s original 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban had no demonstrable impact on reducing crime and this one would be equally ineffective.” Read more

SWAROVSKI OPTIC Integrates Digital Intelligence into New dS Riflescope

Cranston, Rhode Island – SWAROVSKI OPTIK NORTH AMERICA, a subsidiary of the Austrian based company, announces the dS, representing a completely new generation of rifle scope. This product will highlight the optical features of a conventional rifle scope and combine the technology of digital targeting to form an impressive, complete device. Delivery starts in the US market in January 2019.

The new dS shows not only the correct aiming point, but also the key ballistic data in the head-up display without any distraction and in real time. The key benefit for hunters is that the correct aiming point will be displayed automatically in the rifle scope. With the press of a button, the dS measures the exact distance to the target, having factored in the magnification setting, air pressure, temperature, and angle. This takes into account the personal ballistic data for your firearm/ammunition combination.

The windage mark intervals are calculated based on the distance measured, the wind speeds set, and the ballistic data.

The display shows the distance information, bullet energy, and other features in a high-resolution head-up display that clearly provides you with all the hunting data that can contribute to a successful hunt. The design of the dS with its attractive silhouette will look great on any rifle.

The scope requires networking with a smartphone. Exchanging data is simple and straightforward via the Bluetooth® interface. The personal data supplied when sighting in the target are input directly into the app and transmitted immediately. Read more

Halo Introduces the XBS-1 Laser Rangefinding Crossbow Sight

GW: Been waiting for a range finding crossbow sight and this one is more reasonable than others offered so far.  However, as of July 20, 2019, I’ve learned that this optic has been discontinued, so forget it.


Grand Prairie, TX– When it comes to shooting arrows from a crossbow, precise ranging to the target is vital-especially when shooting at live targets such as a deer or elk. Missing the vitals by an inch because an improperly judged distance can mean the difference in being the camp hero and being the camp zero. But even accurate ranging can be tricky – lifting the rangefinder to your eye, taking a reading, then dropping the rangefinder and raising the crossbow to aim through the scope. A lot can happen during this transition, particularly on game that is constantly stopping and going. Halo Optics has built the solution for this dilemma with their new for 2019 XBS-1™ Laser Rangefinding Crossbow Sight.

This high-tech device combines best-in-class ranging capability into an ultra-clear sight so the hunter can bring his eye to aim, range the target and shoot, all in one simple motion. The unit brings all the cutting-edge features Halo rangefinders are known for, including Auto Acquisition, Angle Intelligence™, and Scan Mode. The Auto Acquisition feature provides instant readings to the target with the single touch of a button. Angle Intelligence™ is perfect for hunters working from tree stands, particularly when shooting sharp angles, as it calculates slope to target to determine the proper holdover for the angle-compensated distance. Lastly, Scan Mode allows the hunter to lock in multiple targets at different yardages providing four distance readings per second to each.

The XBS-1 mounts easily to any Weaver-style rail and includes a remote button for instant activation of the rangefinder. The maximum range for the rangefinder is 150 yards. Read more

B&C and P&Y: Potential Largest Hunter-Taken, Non-Typical Whitetail Deer

MISSOULA, Mont. – According to the Boone and Crockett Club and the Pope and Young Club a whitetail buck taken during the 2018 Illinois archery season could be the largest hunter-taken non-typical whitetail on record.

Bowhunter, Luke H. Brewster arrowed a buck from Edgar County, Illinois, on November 2, 2018. Shortly after the harvest, photos circulated online stating it had a green score of 311. After the required 60-day drying period and consultation with both scoring organizations the official entry score of 320-5/8 confirmed that it is only the 5th hunter-taken non-typical whitetail to exceed 300 inches in history. If verified at this score, the buck would be the third largest non-typical whitetail in Boone and Crockett and the new Pope and Young World’s Record.

The World’s Record and number two all-time non-typical whitetail deer recognized by B&C are picked-up trophies scoring 333-7/8 and 328-2/8 B&C points respectively, and were found in St. Louis County, Missouri and Portage County, Ohio. The largest hunter taken, and current number three All-time non-typical whitetail on record with B&C scores 312 and was taken by Stephen L. Tucker from Sumner County, Tennessee in 2016.

“To put Luke’s deer in perspective this deer could surpass our current World’s Record that has stood for 18 years by more than 20 inches,” said Eli Randall, director of Big Game Records for the Pope and Young Club.

The current P&Y World’s Record was taken by Michael Beatty from Green County, Ohio, in 2000 and scores 294 points. The second largest on record is a deer taken in 1962 in Nebraska by Del Austin with a score of 279-7/8 points. Read more
