Scent Thief Field Spray

Scent Thief focuses on neutralizing game animals’ sense of smell by relaxing the olfactory epithelium, tissue that lines the nasal cavity, to prevent them from detecting any odors. Simply spray it on your hunting clothes, boots and/or equipment as you get ready to head afield. For maximum effectiveness, the company recommends you reapply every 60-90 minutes. Scent Thief is available in multiple options, including a 24-ounce bottle and a Combo Pack consisting of a 12-ounce bottle and 32-ounce refill jug to help create a “No Smell” zone around your hunting location.

Speed Broadheads

New Speed Broadheads feature patent-pending Speed Reactive Technology that ensures incredible accuracy in flight and no-doubt deployment upon impact, with just 1.5 pounds of force required to open the blades. That’s up to 80 percent less than competing heads, ensuring faster deployment that results in bigger entrance wounds, wider wound channels and deeper penetration. The secret to Speed Reactive Technology is a micro-piston embedded in the ferrule. Upon launch, the force of acceleration drives the piston against the blades, locking them in place. The faster the shot, the more securely blades are held — all without the need for rubber bands or retention collars. Speed Broadheads also feature tough, rear-deploying, .039-inch thick, high-carbon, stainless steel blades that have a 2-inch cutting diameter and are individually honed for extreme sharpness. Available in four models: 100-grain Titanium chisel tip (pictured); 100-grain Crosscut Aluminum with .39-inch bleeder blade; 100-grain Titanium Crossbow chisel tip; and 125-grain Steel Crossbow chisel tip.
