For 2020 Forrest unveiled their latest development; Carter’s green-colored NV Release. Named for its ability to leave your competition green with envy, it was designed with the target archer in mind. This is a hinge-style back-tension release with an adjustable clicker. What sets this release apart from the others is not
Fourth Arrow’s Pillar System and Final Rest have become quite popular for younger hunters who struggle to steady a weapon or others who simply want a rock-solid rest. SELFILMED’s Rich and his daughter Morgan used the Final Rest on several occasions this past season with great success. While with a sturdy wood
We were beyond ecstatic when we heard that Xenek was releasing their new Ascent Blind. Several of us have used Xenek’s Apex blind for a few years and absolutely love their products. While we were quite happy with the original, we were excited for several of the new features on this version. Brand New Fabric

Crossbow Approved Broadheads While the vast majority
For 2019 Forrest Carter introduced a versatile, unique release aid named the “Convertible”. While this looks similar to some of his other index finger hole releases, it has some hidden features.

Like most archers, I started out shooting a compound bow with a wrist-strap style release back when I was in middle school. Not out of choice, it was the only one lying around the house that was available. For most hunters starting out, after you fork over the money for
I’m not going to lie: I’ve been shooting with a Spot Hogg sight ever since I reunited with compound-bow hunting back in 2010. Prior to that I was either in middle school shooting a bow that didn’t even fit me, or instinctively shooting a stick-and-string throughout high school/college. After giving
