48 INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 MARKET TRENDS GEAR REPORT A BY PATRICK MEITIN AXCEL ARCHERY Landslyde Tactical Bowhunter Sight WebXtra ■ For a closer look at this product and many others, check them out at insidearchery.com. For such bowhunters average accessories hold no appeal. They want only the best, seeking even the smallest advantage toward success, and are willing to pay for that perceived edge. That is what industry leader AXCEL Archery is all about. Of AXCEL’s many stellar products the Landslyde Carbon Pro and Landslyde sights have arguably become the most advanced and sought-after single, double or multi-pin slider sights in the business. Building on that foundation, AXCEL Landslyde Carbon Pro and Landslyde sights will now be available in a “Tactical Bowhunter” color feature for 2024. New Tactical Bowhunter Landslydes are now available in a color scheme of olive drab with contrasting black accents, including black oxide finished fasteners and washers. The Landslyde sights that have provided discriminating bowhunters with the highest performance possible just got stealthier, and well, sexier! AXCEL’s superior Landslyde features remain. The new Landslyde Tactical Bowhunter Sights still feature an ultrasmooth quick adjust knob that makes it easy to dial precise yardages, or deploy the rapid adjustment feature by pressing the elevation knob in and sliding the entire head of the sight up and/or down for large gang adjustments. s compound and carbon-arrow technologies advance meteorically, a certain cadre of bowhunters has begun demanding more from themselves, and their equipment. These bowhunters want to shoot farther and with ever-greater precision. We all talk about the joy of simply being outside in God’s creation, but reality is our time away from day-to-day responsibilities has become ever more precious. Hunting in general has become more expensive. Missing hard-earned opportunities or easy shots is no longer acceptable. They also feature a removable 2nd and 3rd axis block designed so that it holds only the weight of the scope housing of the shooter’s choice— while competitors’ designs include 2nd and 3rd axis mechanisms supporting the entire weight of the sight. This removable scope block can be changed quickly and easily for use with multiple housings or for complete removal during storage or travel. Landslyde Tactical Bowhunter sights accept all existing AXCEL metal sight tapes and come standard with eight two-sided options. Landslyde sights arrive from the factory holding one of these tapes. Two red, adjustable pointers are provided to use as a reference with a secondary aiming point, or to provide confirmation of where pins are set in relation to the metal tape, whether employing a Ranger Ring pin or a multi-pin housing. Landslyde Tactical Bowhunter sights now sport additional windage travel, eliminating the need for an offset block (though it is available if needed). Independent 1st, 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments are part of the package, and individual windage and elevation adjustments are accomplished through separate locking mechanisms. Movements are accomplished without backlash, even when changing knob direction, and AXCEL has introduced its first adjustable dead stop for no-look returns to a 20-yard setting. As always, all AXCEL products are U.S. made and at the top of their class. Check it out at axcelarchery.com. IA

It also earned the Certified Biobased Product Label for Odin’s Innovations Liquid Scent. They were introduced to offer a more recognizable product, but still offer functional advantages. The oilbased scents coat foliage and release scent into the air. Odin’s has found that when putting oil scents on the ground near bait sites, it sticks to the feet of bear and hogs to create scent trails that help attract additional animals. Every Odin’s Innovations product follows a common theme and character: ■ Innovative: Odin’s will not bring a product to market without offering improvements within the category. ■ 100 Percent Synthetic: Odin’s uses only synthetic ingredients and material, so they are able to introduce creativity and bring scents and tools to the market that were previously unavailable. ■ Field Tested: Odin’s new product ideas are field tested to confirm efficiency and ensure positive results. ■ Waterproof: Odin’s scent products are impervious to moisture. ■ Long Shelf Life: Before the package is opened and exposed to air, Odin’s products do not deteriorate or require special handling or storage. (Only after they are in the field do they release their scent, with biodegradation complete within 6-months). ■ 100 Percent Biodegradable: Odin’s scent products leave the environment, as they say, “Better Than You Found It.” ansas-based Odin’s Innovations brought something new, something different, something better to a stagnant industry. “Innovation” .... it’s in their name. It drives the company to use new technologies, new manufacturing processes and customer feedback to create products that help their customers enjoy a successful hunting experience. And Odin’s products are legal in every state! The lure scents do not provide nutritional value, contain salt nor are they intended for consumption, so they are not considered bait in most every state. (Odin’s has spoken with a lot of wardens to confirm. But, laws change, so please check with local authorities.) The Technology ■ Odin’s Innovations introduced the market to the only long-lasting, time-released delivery method available. This isn’t just an empty claim, it was proven in a major university chemical laboratory. Odin’s scent beads are made from a biodegradable polymer that absorbs and holds synthetic scents and releases them over a 30-day period. Scent Beads are unaffected by morning dew, rain, or snow, and break down after releasing their scent, so they are environmentally friendly, too. Unique to this industry, they have been awarded the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label for Odin’s Innovations Scent Beads. In 2023 Odin’s introduced a line of 12 K BY PATRICK MEITIN 100 Percent Made in the United States ■ Every one of Odin’s Innovations products are sourced and manufactured in the United States. The biodegradable polymer technology that forms a base for Odin’s No. 1 product was developed in the U.S. and is manufactured in the U.S. The packaging, the scents, and all fulfilment employ U.S. developed technology and U.S. labor. This made-inthe-USA supply chain allowed Odin’s to avoid delays many suppliers suffered during the pandemic, and the availability allows them to remain responsive and creative. Dealer Partner Relationships ■ Odin’s owner Paul Black considers a dealer relationship as a two-way street. Odin’s needs the dealer to engage with customers and discuss the value offered Odin’s Innovations A Very Different Kind of Scent Company

Odin’s “SHOP LOCAL” social media campaign resulted in more than 3,000 consumers searching the company’s website for a local dealer. Odin’s is committed to their dealers and respect that they work hard. Odin’s online pricing is above MSRP, and their products are not available in “big box” stores. Odin’s has simple, single-tier dealer pricing, along with low MOQs, allowing their dealers to offer multiple scents across every selling season— spring through winter—while still ensuring healthy inventory turns and good margins. To help with a dealer’s marketing efforts, Odin’s maintains an ODIN’S DEALER SUPPORT portal where all company promotional materials and product art are shared with their dealers. Here is what one Odin’s dealer had to say, “Odin’s dealer support is incredible. Paul you are always one step ahead in giving the dealer what they need to be successful. Programs, pricing, margin, POP display options. You have made it very easy for the dealer to be successful with Odin’s products whether the dealer knows what they need or not. You have the bases covered to enable them to put the product out on the shelf and tell the story. You have produced an ingenious product line that separates itself from the other products in its category. A new take in a saturated category that has a greater residual and less mess and consequently more applications.”

INSIDE THE INDUSTRY LEADING ARCHERY MANUFACTURERS Year-Round Profit Opportunities ■ Odin’s scent products are useful throughout the year, not just in the fall.

54 INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 his year’s cover stories reminded me of what I love about this industry. We spoke with engineers, marketing experts, competitive archers, farmers and hardcore bowhunters, all of whom represent successful archery manufacturers. Their resumes all may look very different, but they all love archery and bowhunting. But that’s not all they had in common. Our 2023 cover story subjects had a few other common threads running between them. Innovation It’s no secret that innovation—whether in terms of products, technologies or processes—is a hallmark of successful archery manufacturers. Though this year’s cover story subjects offer products ranging from highly technical electronics all the way to natural urines, they’ve all found ways to deliver meaningful improvements that make a difference to end users. Victory Archery is well-known for developing ground-breaking arrow technology. After all, it was the introduction of micro-diameter arrows that, in the words of General Manager Steve Greenwood, “Put Victory on the map.” And the company hasn’t stopped innovating since. In 2023, Victory introduced the RIP SS small-diameter arrow, which features stainless-steel mesh embedded into the arrow shaft. “What we’ve done is combine other technologies outside of carbon fiber,” Steve said. “We took a 3/16- inch stainless-steel mesh and embedded it into the construction of the arrow. We’ve got stainless steel that’s woven into a very, very fine mesh. We were able to fuse that into the middle of our carbon shafts even on a micro-diameter arrow. And this year I think the .204 is going to be a really hot seller for us. “People would never have imagined that you could put stainless-steel mesh on the inside of a micro-diameter arrow. For durability and performance and recovery, there’s no comparison.” Jim and Tracie Klossner of Athens Archery place an emphasis on developing products that are not only better for the consumer, but also easier for dealers to sell. “We try to deliver what our customers want, while keeping in mind what makes it easier for a dealer to set up and sell bows,” Jim said. “This year we came out with our own moveable cam system, the Accu-Tune Cam™ technology. This system does not require any kind of spacers, clips or a press, making it incredibly easy and quick to tune your bow. It allows a dealer or customer to take a bow out of the box and, within a few shots, have it tuned to their arrow, their rest and their natural grip position. Within minutes you can have T

56 INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 your center-shot set, paper or walk-back tuning done, and be out on the range or in the field, all without a press. It’s a simple Allen key adjustment.” The new cam is showcased on the company’s 2024 Axxis line of bows. “These bows are redesigned from the ground up,” Jim said. “They’re 17 percent stiffer than previous models. They not only have the new Accu-Tune Cam technology, but they actually have an upgraded module system on them compared to previous years. Our goal was to make it a simpler and more user-friendly system. They have a whole new profiled limb, as well as our new pocket system, the Limb-Lok 2.0 that takes our locking system a step further. It basically almost guarantees parallelism between the limbs. It’s a more stable, repeatable and consistent bow.” New technology is exciting, but it takes a lot of effort and knowledge to deliver that new technology at a price bowhunters can actually afford. That’s what Custom Bow Equipment, part of The Outdoor Group, prides itself on. “If you were to look at the CBE brand and say, ‘What is the product CBE would be known for currently?’ I would say it would be our Trek Pro sight,” Chief Operating Officer Josh Sidebottom said. “It’s our high-end multi-pin mover sight with all the bells and whistles: carbon dovetail extension bar; 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-axis adjustment; micro-adjustable pins. You can get it in a one-pin, three-pin or five-pin, in .010 or .019 fiber. It’s the ultimate featured hunting sight. It’s got a sliding fiber cover to help adjust fiber brightness, in addition to the rheostat light. We try to include everything somebody might want in a high-end hunting sight. “To get a product that stacks up with a Trek or a Trek Pro from a competitor, you’re going to pay more to get the features we’re offering. That’s really where CBE stands apart. We bring value in all the products that we offer.” Frustration is often the mother of invention, and that was the case for Curt and Eric Price of Burt Coyote. Curt missed a buck but didn’t realize it until he finally found his arrow. On his drive home from that hunt, he realized there had to a better way to track your arrow in flight. And there was: the Lumenok lighted arrow nock. Curt and his brother Eric tinkered with the design of their lighted arrow nock, improving it in each iteration. “The nock we first brought to market was our Prototype 13,” Curt recalled. “It was the 13th prototype we made. It lit up when it went in the arrow all the way. We tried to think of a way to turn it on and off—turning it on when it was shot out of the bow and turning it off when you got the arrow. With Prototype 13, the battery was attached to the end of the nock. I had pieces of phone wire in there. The first nocks had black shrink tube on the ends of them. We just housed all that stuff in there and then put shrink tube over it. “Later, we turned the battery around and remade the nock. The major drawback with our nock when we first started was that the contacts were rough on the arrow. But now the contacts don’t do anything to the arrow. It’s more of a pad. We learned. We’ve come so far from what we were when we first started.” A similar experience led Al Kaiser of Hunters Mate to develop the idea for the Lowdown Viewer. An avid user of trail cameras, he was frustrated by the lack of effective trail cam viewers—especially after he missed seeing his target buck in photos because of his handheld viewer’s small screen. “I knew the industry really needed a good trail camera viewer,” he said. “I had no engineering experience, no experience with electronics. But I knew the outdoors, and I knew what was needed to look at these pictures.” Al partnered with Joshua Caraway, who had the technical know-how to help him bring his vision to life. The result was the Lowdown Viewer, a high-speed trail cam viewer with the kinds of features that hunters really want.

58 INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 Features of the Lowdown Viewer allows hunters to quickly review their photos. “The first screen size we have is called the Quick View Mode,” Al said. “It shows eight pictures at a time. You can slide through as fast as you want just to see what you have. The pictures aren’t big enough that you can study them, but they’re just big enough that you can see what’s in the picture. Hunters probably only want to look at about 10 percent of their pictures. The key is to pick out the pictures you want to look at and get rid of the rest. With the Quick View Mode, you can easily go through a hundred pictures a minute.” Andy Buchanan of Thorn Broadheads is not an engineer, but his frustration with his broadhead accuracy led him to design his own broadhead. “I shot a lot of archery tournaments back in the day, and it would frustrate me that I could be so dialed in with a field point, but when I’d try to sight-in with broadheads, they were all over the place. They never flew true. I was really a stickler for accuracy. I just always thought there was a better way to do it.” The secret to improved accuracy was Andy’s Hidden Blade Technology. “There’s nothing protruding from the ferrule,” he said. “If there’s nothing to plane in the air, it’s basically an elongated field point. That’s what makes it the most accurate broadhead in the world. We’re actually the only company that can put ‘guaranteed field point accuracy’ on our packaging.” It’s hard to improve upon Mother Nature. That’s why Sam and Judi Collora of Mrs. Doe Pee’s work hard to ensure their urines are as pure and natural as possible. To that end, the couple developed a freeze-drying process for urine. “It was a means of keeping our estrous from one year to another without chemically changing it,” Judi said. “That was very important. We had that patent for 21 years.” For 2023, Mrs. Doe Pee’s used that freeze-drying technology in the Game Changer, a small pad soaked in urine and then freezedried and packaged in a secure mylar bag to maintain freshness. “I’m excited to see how hunters use it,” Judi said. “We sold it this entire season. It’s something people can put with their hunting gear and use when they decide they need it. I think our customers are going to tell me they used it three or four times before it wasn’t effective anymore. Some will think they have to rehydrate it because it’s freeze-dried, but they don’t have to. It will pull moisture from the air.” Killer Food Plots, now owned by Rich Chrzan, also uses natural solutions to the problems hunters face. “Unlike synthetic fertilizers, our fertilizer actually improves the soil,” Rich said. “Synthetic fertilizers bind up the nutrients with salt. Salt in the soil is not good. Our fertilizer does not do that. It builds the soil. Quick-acting, natural nutrients activate the good bacteria in your soil that’s normally dormant. Those bacteria grab all the available nutrients and then offload all those nutrients into the roots of your plants. Every time that happens, your roots get deeper and deeper, which is making your plants more drought-tolerant. That’s really big for food plots.” Mitch Banks and his family found innovation when they combined their passion for bowhunting with their experience with the roto-molding process to create a line of durable archery ground blinds designed to withstand cold climates. “Our operation here is all injection and rotational molding,” Mitch explained. “We try to create products for the outdoors industry using the manufacturing capabilities we have. With roto-molding, we can create a seamless and extremely strong blind. A lot of the blinds used in Texas weren’t necessarily ready for northern climates. We created a roto-molded blind that was built to address that need. “We designed the blind for archers. We wanted to make sure the blind was tall enough that you could actually hold a bow in Killer Food Plots • May 2023 Lowdown • June 2023 Morrell Targets • July 2023 Continued on Page 60 Continued from Page 56

From our very first design, we went with a vertical-style window. It allows archers to make the shots they need to make. Our round design gives the blind a more natural feel with a better field of vision and strength.” Morrell Targets was founded on a radical new target design— Dale Morrell’s patented floating center—and the company continues to advance target technology. “When Dad created the patented floating center, it revolutionized the bag target world and set us apart from all the other targets,” Vice President and Marketing Director Tanner Morrell said. “Our bag targets have not changed much. The materials inside have changed, but that floating center design has been the staple since 1986. The evolution for us in terms of bag targets has been in cover designs.” Morrell recently introduced a new innovation in bag targets. “We are in the process of patenting new technology that has never been done before,” Tanner said. “It’s in the Kinetic 1.0 and the Kinetic X. We’ve seen some very good results from this new innovation.” A Focus on Dealers Industry leaders agree on one important thing—archery dealers are the lifeblood of our industry. Many of our 2023 cover story subjects have developed programs to give their dealers an advantage in a crowded marketplace. “I speak to dealers every day,” Tracie Klossner of Athens Archery said. “Jim and I have bent over backwards to have the easiest dealer program in the industry. I cannot tell you how often I hear dealers say, ‘Wow. That’s your dealer program? It’s that simple?’ Yes, it is. And that is by design. Dealers are the backbone of all of our brands, and to support them, we ensure that we have the simplest dealer program anybody will offer. We’re proud of that.” CBE knows what a dealer cares about most is their bottom line. “We operate from a place of strength in terms of being able to support their business,” Vice President of Sales Paul Guillot said. “From a margin standpoint to an innovation standpoint. We’re in a position of strength to give these dealers the ability to give themselves the pay raise they’re looking for. We’ve created programs that are an easy path to best pricing. A lot of companies try to get you to invest all your available capital into their programs to get their best pricing. I don’t. I want it to be easy for them.” At Banks Outdoors, Mitch Banks believes a large part of his job involves ensuring the success of the company’s dealers. “When we came out with the blinds, one thing I learned very quickly is a larger ticketed item like that has logistical hurdles from factory to dealer but also from dealer to consumer,” Mitch explained. “So we have programs designed for them all to compete on an even playing field. “Our dealer network is like family. They’re all part of the brand, have bought into it and have been successful with it, and I want them to continue to do that. Our ears are always open. The one thing I’ve learned through my time in the business is if Banks Outdoors • August 2023 Lumenok • September/October 2023 Mrs. Doe Pee's • November 2023 Continued on Page 62 Athens Outdooors • December 2023 Continued from Page 58

INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 you’re not listening, you’re dying. I want the people to know we’ve got their backs and we’re in it together.” Al Kaiser of Hunters Mate knows consumers need to see the Lowdown Viewer in action to truly appreciate its features. To that end, the company offers a fully equipped demonstration unit for stores the first time they order ten viewers. “We’re going to take a viewer, we’re going to set it up, it’s going to come in its leather case that doubles as a stand, we’re going to put a show card in it for them, we’re going to put a save card in it for them, and we’re also going to send them our 10-foot HDMI cable so if they have a flatscreen in the store, they can hook it up to their flatscreen,” Al explained. “That’s another feature—we’re one of the few units you can hook up to your flatscreen. Everything you can do on the Lowdown; you can do on the big screen.” Open dialogue, quality products, great margins and effective MAP policing are how Victory Archery supports its dealers. “We live and breathe archery,” National Sales Manager Jayson Bentcik said. “So with Victory, the dealers know we make a good quality product. We—the key players here at Victory making decisions—have all worked in shops, so we have an eclectic background in knowing what the consumer wants, how to manufacture a good product and, on top of that, how to take care of the dealers as well. We also learn a lot from actually sitting down and having frank conversations with them about what’s going to keep them thriving. We’ve tailored all of our programs and all of our pricing to that. “We offer the best margins in the industry for our dealers, arrow-wise. So they can make the best margins possible, keep the lights on, keep their staff well paid and employed.” “We police MAP 24/7,” Steve Greenwood added. “We’re one of the few companies that is adamant that is followed because we don’t want to destroy the brand and we want to protect our dealers. We do not sell direct to consumers like many of our competitors. We are 100 percent behind the dealers and making sure they are healthy so everyone can make money.” Getting the Word Out A company can offer the best products in the world, but if nobody hears about them, no one will buy them. Marketing is an area in which our cover story subjects shine. Marketing is especially important when you need to educate consumers on a new product category. Curt Price of Burt Coyote found sales of the Lumenok took off once hunters saw the nocks used on TV. “It was tough at first trying to get people to use the nocks, but once people started using them on TV, it was amazing,” he explained. “One day I told my boss I was going to stay home. I’d bought our first commercial on The Outdoor Channel. I almost had an anxiety attack that day. Then I saw our commercial on Continued on Page 64 Continued from Page 60

TV, and as soon as it was over, the phone started ringing. It was amazing. It was all because of that TV show. People could see that video of the nock going through animals. Our nocks are bright as hell. People always accused us of hunting at night, but we didn’t. You want to use nocks that are bright enough to see in the daytime. That’s what we make. We make nocks you can see in the daytime.” An investment in marketing helped Athens Archery achieve double-digit growth every year since the Klossners acquired it. “There was definitely an opportunity for additional marketing to get the word out on how great the Athens Outdoors brand is,” Tracie said. “We closed the gap rapidly. Inside Archery has actually been a big piece of that. Every year, we have increased our presence with Inside Archery. We’ve also partnered with multiple TV and internet media outlets. Then there’s social media. Athens Archery and Mountain View Products interact every single day on both Facebook and Instagram. All those things contribute to that double-digit growth.” Sometimes promoting a company can lead to valuable new partnerships. That’s what happened for Andy Buchanan of Thorn Broadheads, who got his product into the right hands. “One of the bigger shows was Major League Bowhunter, which Chipper Jones was involved with,” Andy said. “This past season, he ended up killing the biggest deer in Major League Bowhunter history with our new XV broadhead. I reached out to him wanting to get some good photos for social media. I mentioned that we were possibly looking for investors to grow, that it was time to pour some gas on the fire, and Chipper invited us down to hang out. A couple weeks later Chipper become part owner of Thorn Broadheads.” Sometimes, the best marketing is just demonstrating what your product is capable of. That was the case for Sam Collora of Mrs. Doe Pee’s. “After extensive testing, Sam switched to hunting with Doe in Estrus in the pre-rut,” Judi said. “He took some Doe in Estrus out, and in came this monster buck. He was smelling the scent, and Sam delivered an arrow.” “At the time I shot him, he was the largest gross-scoring typical ever killed with a bow and arrow,” Sam said. “It came to be called the Collora Buck. It gave us some momentum. People were like, ‘If he’s killing bucks like that, maybe this stuff works.’” The company got more publicity when Sam appeared on the cover of North American Whitetail. It wouldn’t be the last time Mrs. Doe Pee’s Doe in Estrus earned Sam a place on North American Whitetail’s cover. He’s now been on the cover four times. “I shot all but one of those bucks with Doe in Estrus,” he said. “And the one I didn’t use Doe in Estrus for was shot with a gun.” Some companies promote not just their own products, but archery in general. That’s the case with Morrell Targets, where Dale Morrell and the rest of the Morrell team invest heavily in youth archery in order to grow the sport. “Morrell supports youth archery, and we’re committed to helping other organizations continue to grow. For the past 20 years, we have been one of the top contributors to NASP. And we’re proud to be so heavily involved. NASP is so passionate about the impact the sport of archery has on children’s lives. We couldn’t be more honored to sponsor such a great program.” Dale also established Varsity Archery. “Varsity Archery helps introduce kids to shooting fully equipped compound bows in competitions,” he said. “It’s like NASP, but it uses a fully decked-out bow with sights and pins. It’s more evolved for hunting. It creates a bridge from NASP to the lifelong archer,” he explained. “NASP is such a great program; this is the next step up. We’re working on holding a national Varsity Archery tournament next spring.” Looking to the Future As we ring in a New Year, Inside Archery is excited to see what 2024 will bring. For those companies who, like the industry leaders covered here, are willing to emphasize innovation, the dealer base and effective marketing, the future promises to be bright.

It is annoying and no doubt erodes impact consistency. I also worry a broadhead will loosen while passing through game and shed cutting edges. It has gotten to the point that I obsessively retighten tips after pulling every arrow out of sheer habit. For 2024 Pro-Tracker has devised a way to eliminate the inconvenience of loose tips and the need to tighten them after every round of shooting forever through their brand new Friction Grip Inserts. Patent-pending Friction Grip Inserts are especially engineered to make loose field tips and broadheads a thing of the past. These special inserts utilize a cuttingedge, patent-pending technology to reliably prevent point threads from unscrewing in flight or after impact with targets, promoting pin-point accuracy during practice and during target shoots, and providing peace of mind while bowhunting that broadheads will remain tight and blades firmly anchored after impact and during passthrough penetration. Each Friction Grip Insert is precision milled from top-quality 7075 aluminum, an aluminum grade that is a large step s someone who tests a lot of bows and does an inordinate amount of shooting in preparation for big bowhunts, upcoming 3-D shoots and to simply relax, loose tips have long been a way of life. This is especially pointed when shooting left-helical fletching, as I generally prefer for no particular reason other than I own three tried-and-true Bitzenberger left-helical fletching jigs and only one right. The spin imparted by the left-hand helical fletchings tends to work against standard threads, though this can also occur with right-hand fletching through violent launch vibrations and while above standard issue aluminum used in most factory-supplied inserts. The highgrade aluminum ensures exceptional durability after hard impacts with bone or hard ground following a miss, and prolongs the life of these inserts from galling or incremental wear. Pro-Tracker offers a Friction Grip Insert for just about every major arrow brand and model. A 4.2mm, 40-grain black half-out insert is compatible with .166-inch internal diameter arrows such as Easton’s 4mm FMJ and Axis Long Range, Gold Tip’s Pierce series, Altra Arrows’ Centrum 166, and Victory Archery’s VAP SS and TKO, just as examples. A black 5.2mm, 50-grain half-out insert makes the perfect pairing to .204-inch internal diameter arrows like Easton’s 5mm Axis, Gold Tip’s Kinetic Kaos, Bloodsport’s Jutice, Carbon Express’ Maxima SD series, and Victory’s RIP SS and TKO, as examples. Black 60-grain half-out inserts and green 15-grain full inserts are also available for standard-diameter 6.2mm .244-inch arrows such as Gold Tip’s popular Hunter XT and Pro, Carbon Express’ Maxima RED and D-Stroyer, and Victory’s V-Force series, just as easy examples. For customers who are tired of loose points, or just looking for a higher-quality insert less prone to galling or failure than the cheap components that often arrive from the factory with a pack of arrows, Pro-Tracker’s Friction Grip Inserts are the answer. Each 12-pack is priced competitively. Learn more at pro-tracker.com. IA

68 INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 INSIDE THE INDUSTRY LEADING ARCHERY MANUFACTURERS The idea to launch CamoSpace was spawned by owner and founder Denny Reid after he noticed a troubling trend on social media. Large among that inspiration was the realization that so much of the outdoor lifestyle that we hold so dear was being banned, or at least shadow banned, on traditional social media outlets. Reid was hearing from numerous friends who were telling him they had posted a perfectly tasteful picture of, say, their kid posing with their first deer and were receiving 30-day suspensions as a result for introducing “unsuitable content.” Reid talked to more friends in the industry and many were relating similar experiences—they were unable to post images or video of their successful hunts without getting banned, or were feeling they were being shadow banned when no one could access eadquartered on the Eastern Shore of Maryland’s Dorchester County, CamoSpace shares office space with Reid Farms, Inc. This is where the idea for CamoSpace was born. In addition to CamoSpace, the company farms about 5,000 acres of corn, wheat and soybeans, a setting that has sparked an intense passion for hunting their local white-tailed and sika deer and waterfowl for all involved in the fresh endeavor. H BY PATRICK MEITIN their feed. Reid decided it was time to make a change, and the idea for CamoSpace was born. CamoSpace was created specifically so people who love the outdoors could post content depicting the lifestyle we all love, without being banned. CamoSpace is working with some of the most recognized celebrities in the hunting world, people who learned what the app was about and fully support the company’s efforts. Outdoor luminaries such as Michael Waddell of the Bone Collector gang, Chad Belding from “The Fowl Life,” and Phillip Culpepper from “Hunt Club” are already on board. CamoSpace searched the U.S. to find an app and website developer the company’s developers believed was qualified to build a quality app and who could expertly handle the traffic as the company grew. CamoSpace ultimately hired a Fort Myers, Florida, firm and they have been instrumental in helping the vision become reality. They handle the app and website and are constantly building upgrades for better performance and features. CamoSpace is all about celebrating the hunt, the catch, and the overall outdoor lifestyle. Users are free to post pictures and create their own profiles, as we are all accustomed to, but without the fear of getting banned or their pictures being taken down. CamoSpace has faced major hurdles—largest among them effectively spreading the word that they are out there and providing a social media platform for hunters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts. Part of that struggle is due to the very nature of social media, as CamoSpace is consistently shadow banned by the progressive powers that almost universally control such outlets. For instance, CamoSpace works with Michael Waddell. The Bone Collector heavyweight has more than one million followers, but after posting several videos about CamoSpace the major CamoSpace App Bringing Archers Together

69 social media sites would barely show those videos in anyone’s feed. These posts usually get only about 10,000 views out of Waddell’s enormous following, as social media algorithm will only show you what they want you to see. For instance, if you happen to look at a tractor on a market place forum, for the next few days your feed will be filled with listings for tractors. At CamoSpace you can choose a public or private feed. In the public feed you will see all the app users posts. On the private feed, only people you choose to follow will see your posts. The drive at CamoSpace all goes back to the freedom to create posts of your successful outdoor pursuits without the fear of getting banned or the pictures being taken down. This makes the app user’s social media experience much more enjoyable, because they can post with complete freedom and free of censorship. Tucker believes all Americans, and especially independence-loving outdoors people, can relate to a love of freedom and expressing themselves without the fear of censorship. Despite these obstacles CamoSpace continues to grow. As an example, CamoSpace is working on a feature that will allow users a marketplace option for buying and selling goods. Imagine the fun of peering into a hunter or fishermen’s garage and the ability to buy that person’s used outdoor equipment! CamoSpace will continue to grow only by the continued support of the outdoor community. Join CamoSpace’s growing community today and tell your friends about them. We will all become stronger by banding together as a loud group in strong support of deep hunting and outdoor traditions that, until now traditional social media outlets have not been entirely friendly to.

70 INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 MARKET TRENDS GEAR REPORT I BY PATRICK MEITIN PNUMA OUTDOORS CAZA™ OV Camo Pattern WebXtra ■ For a closer look at this product and many others, check them out at insidearchery.com. on stand, despite some snowy, windy, sub-zero North Idaho visuals. One company at the cutting edge of this revolution is Pnuma Outdoors. Pnuma employs the latest outdoor clothing technologies, such as Polygiene OdorCrunch (a silica-based technology) and Polygiene StayFresh (silver-ion based) to fight human odor, Primaloft Silver Insulation to keep hunters warm, and advanced DWR Fabric Treatment to repel moisture without creating gamespooking noise. Pnuma’s Highpoint Series, and Base Haven Series and merino wool base layers, make it easy to stay warm on stand, and when weather turns truly nasty the Palisade Puffy Jacket provides even more protection. The Waypoint Series offers a midweight option, while the Ventus Series is made to turn wind, the Torrent Series offering a wet-weather option that is bowhunting quiet. Pnuma also offers early-season, warm-weather options in their Renegade Series and new Renegade Swift Series. These are but highlights. The bigger news at Pnuma Outdoors is the launch of their all-new camo pattern, which you will be able to see in person for the first time at the St. Louis ATA Show. CAZA™ OV was specifically developed am old enough to remember when November and December whitetail hunts were an exercise in pure hypothermia endurance, due entirely to the inadequate clothing available in those days. This situation was compounded by the smallest amount of moisture or a cutting breeze. My most vivid memories of my initial days pursuing whitetail involve little else but chattering teeth, quivering extremities and muscles so stiff pulling my bow became painful at best, impossible at worst. All that has changed today, with high-tech materials and insulations making even the coldest, wettest, windiest weather bearable. In fact, I can’t recall a single incident in the past decade where I was truly hypothermic with a focus on treestand and elevated hunting, incorporating colors that imitate the sky peeking through tree branches and lichen on tree trunks that effectively creates macro shape and micro texture disruption. Yet while it was developed for treestand hunters, it has proven effective in a wide variety of common bowhunting settings. While testing CAZA OV in various landscapes and vegetation, Pnuma soon discovered that this new camouflage pattern performed well in a variety of big game environments, doing especially well in rocky terrain and open areas free of leaves and other foliage. This makes CAZA OV an adaptable multi-season and multi-species camouflage pattern that customers can use in a huge array of terrains and during multiple seasons. Pnuma Outdoors has added 15-plus brand new products for 2024, each designed specifically to make fall whitetail hunting from elevated positions more comfortable and efficient. Some of those products I brushed over here, but you really have to see the entire Pnuma collection, and the built-in details devised by bowhunters for bowhunters, to appreciate just how special they are.

The split limbs of the Vital X 430 hold radiated limb silencers. Overall, this crossbow is remarkably quiet to shoot. The Killer Instinct Vital X 430 Elite includes a silent bolt-retainment brush that does not produce the noise blade retainers do. 92 INSIDE ARCHERY JANUARY 2024 MARKET TRENDS CROSSBOW REPORT Killer Instinct's Vital X 430 Elite is a quiet crossbow, some of the credit for that due to the dual string stops. The adjustable AR-style stock of the Vital X 430 Elite allows creating comfortable length-of-pull for small or large shooters. For 2024 that sort of affordable performance comes in the Killer Instinct Vital X 430 Elite. This refined model builds on Killer Instinct’s well-received Vital X, while providing a 25 fps boost in bolt speed. The Vital X 430 Elite gets that speed from a patented, fully synchronized X Cam system, an efficient reverse-draw design that requires less draw effort, includes a 50 percent letoff of its 195-pound draw weight, and a 15-inch power stroke. The X Cam can also be credited with this crossbow’s remarkable vibration-free and silent shooting characteristics. An extralarge, rubberized foot stirrup also contributes to this crossbow’s trouble-free cocking, a design that allows stepping through even while wearing heavily insulated boots. Like last year’s Vital X model, the Vital X 430 includes a narrow and easy-handling 6.75-inch axle-to-axle span when cocked (10.375 inches at rest), which also gives it great balance while taking aim and shooting. The Vital X 430 Elite includes a smoothpulling 3.5-pound trigger to accentuate accuracy. A bolt retaining brush is incorporated to keep bolts safely in place, while remaining quiet throughout the shot—no metal tuning-fork hums emanate from this system. An anti-dry-fire mechanism is included, and the safety automatically engages when the crossbow is cocked, representing two vital safety details. Further shot silence comes from 1 ½-inch long, heavily radiated limb silencers, radiated dual rubber-bumper string stops, a rubber overmolded stirrup and parallel split limbs held in precision limb pockets cast as an overall part of the aluminum riser. The Vital X 430 Elite weighs just 7.8 pounds iller Instinct Crossbows has gained a well-deserved reputation for producing high-performance crossbows that also include reasonable price tags. This gives blue collar crossbow enthusiasts with kids in school, a car payment and mortgage the opportunity to enjoy top-notch crossbow performance in the field, including the ability to extend their maximum effective range 10 or 15 yards to help tip the odds of success in their favor.

The provided rope cocker allowed the advertised pleasant cocking cycle. The Vital X 430 Elite was truly fun to shoot, largely free of the loud crack and aggressive jolt many high-energy crossbows in this performance class produce. It also proved accurate enough at 20 yards following sight-in that I hesitated to use the same aiming spot for more than a single shot for fear of damaging bolt ends. I’ve certainly shot faster crossbows— not that 430 fps is anything to get snooty about!—but for the extra 25 to 50 fps you might get from shooting one of those faster models you will have to pay $50 to $60 more for every single foot per second gained. For the average crossbow hunter—one pursuing whitetails or wild hogs or black bears at woods ranges and not bent on sending bolts to 100 yards—this is all the crossbow this hunter could ever need and more.

I gave them up as a result. My more recent interest in mover sights came when HHA released models holding multiple pins, providing more versatility and yardage latitude. In three-pin models, for instance, the shooter can react instantly to common 20-, 30-, and 40-yard shots, but then also dial for much longer distances through the mover system. The ability to react to sudden shot opportunities solves past problems of missing opportunities due to a single pin being adjusted to the wrong yardage, while the ability to dial precisely for longer shots introduces versatility. HHA has proven a powerhouse in this sight class. HHA’s Tetra Series sights have become the company’s flagship models in the past several years, that lineup expanding each season with ever more hunter-friendly features and refined functionality. For 2024 this is the Tetra RYZ X3 three-pin mover. Like other HHA Tetra sights it includes rugged milled-aluminum construction he slider bow sight revolution began with single-pin designs that moved on “hinged” linkage along a sweeping rear radius. They were intended for precision 3-D target shooting, though many bowhunters adopted them due to the precision and long-range capabilities provided. This was the first time shooters were able to dial precise “tweener” ranges, say 53 yards on the dot, while also allowing point-on aiming at ranges beyond 100 yards. Like many bowhunters of the time I was intrigued and auditioned several models, including one by HHA Sports. What I discovered is that while they all around for in-field dependability and accuracy-boosting precision. The sight holds a fully-adjustable indicator/yardage pointer for each pin, which are designed to be ultra-fine to provide pin-point precision. This allows quick setup for spot-on shooting to ranges as distant as 100 to 120 yards, depending on bow/arrow speed. The Tetra RYZ X3 is equipped with a smaller 1 ⅝-inch scope, which holds a bright bubble level and neon green peep alignment ring for faster shot setup and target acquisition under pressure. The design provides 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments to ensure centered shots on steep uphill and downhill shots, and a square sight picture at full draw. Those 2nd axis adjustments are made through HHA’s Infinite Adjust Plate, which also allows independent elevation adjustments. Micro and macro two-stage windage adjustments are also easily conducted. Pin movement is controlled through a side wheel, including a cut-brass “rackand-pinion” gearing system providing 2.1 inches of vertical travel. Yardage adjustments are silky smooth and free of backlash, meaning when a shooter changes wheel direction or makes a quick adjustment, that adjustment stays put, ensuring precise shot placement. The new Tetra RYZ X3 sight is available in standard side-mount, Mathews Bridge-Lock or Picatinny-mount. Learn more by visiting hhasports.com. IA
