The Ripcord LOK is a limb driven rest that features Ripcord’s known arrow containment system. Simply flip the rest up to get 100% arrow containment even when the bow is not drawn back. This rest features a precision ball bearing drive that offers smooth operation for unmatched accuracy and durability. The click-micro adjust allows the shooter to move the rest with minute precision increments. Each click gives you .003 inches of adjustment. Finally, this rest features a teardrop cord clamp for quick setting of proper cord tension.
Bohning Zen Vane
The Bohning Zen Vane is a 4-inch vane designed for archery league shooting. With a minimal height of .37 inches, this vane is designed to solve any clearance issues with shooting large diameter shafts for cutting lines. Offered in a variety of solid colors, this vane is a must have for anyone wanting to improve their accuracy when shooting indoor leagues.
Carter Convertible
This new rest from Carter can be shot as a two finger or three finger, yet it only features two finger holes. It also has a thumb trigger option or third finger trigger. The rest also features a small bar to rest a third finger on as the archery pushes and pulls through the shot. Its slim design will fit easily into your pocket and is fully adjustable.
Badlands Vario
The Badland Vario pack is a modular pack frame system that is designed to compete with the big bows in the pack industry. The pack frame itself can haul out a load of meat and your pack at the same time. Simply pull the pack off the frame, add meat, and tighten down the pack to the frame. With countless pack/frame/accessory combinations, this pack can be specialized for anyone and anything. With the pack, there are three options for gear hauling they are; a day pack, a 33L pack, and a 50L pack. This pack can be used for day hunts or living out of while you travel the backcountry.
Gold Tip Airstrike
Gold tip has come out with a new shaft called the Airstrike. The Airstrike features Gold Tips Slick Shield technology for better penetration and arrow removal from targets. This Slick Shield technology along with a small diameter will help any archer improve the accuracy while making shooting and pulling arrows much easier. It comes in all the typical sizes and it is extremely durable.
Easton T64 FMJ
The new Easton T64 Full Metal Jacket features a tapered design that is larger at the tip. This allows for a much better FOC since it is built into the arrow. Shooters can expect greater accuracy, penetration, and improved flight over any arrow ever made from Easton. This carbon/aluminum hybrid arrow is one of the toughest arrows in the market.
Burris Oracle Bow Sight
Probably one of the coolest things at the show this year is the new bow sight from Burris. The Oracle is digital sight that eliminates guessing of distances. The built-in rangefinder gives you the range and lights up the pin that the shooter needs put on the target. Featuring a push activated button, the archer can range multiple times at multiple targets while at full draw. The all-aluminum construction makes this sight lightweight and durable. Coming in at a retail price of $799.95, this sight will answer all of your problems.
Vortex Fury HD 5000
The new rangefinding binocular from Vortex is the Fury HD 5000. It is named this because it will range out to 5,000 yards, off of a reflective target. The optimized display layout eliminates obstructed views with glassing. The new last mode displays the furthest distance when ranging, panning, or scanning ideal for ranging targets behind potential foreground obstructions. This binocular is for the serious long-range hunter and shooter.
