New Bow Accessories for 2021

More Choice – TRUGLO Archer’s Choice Ranger Rover M4

TRUGLO Archer’s Choice Ranger Rover M4
TRUGLO Archer’s Choice Ranger Rover M4

TRUGLO has added to its popular Archer’s Choice Range Rover bow sight series with the all-new M4. Joining the Pro LED and single-pin Slider-Style models, the M4 is a hybrid design that combines the range adjustability of the original Range Rover with the multi-pin configuration of the Veros sight. By locking the sight hood down, the M4 can be used as a typical multi-pin sight. It can also be used as a slider sight; ideal for those who go from close-range hunting to longer 3-D or Western hunts, as they can avoid changing their bow or sighting system. Sixty pre-printed yardage tapes are included to calibrate any bow-and-arrow combination. Other features include toolless yardage lock, all-metal pins, Pro-Brite pin design, laser engraved windage and elevation markings, Tru-Lite Pro sight light and more.

Don’t Panic! – T.R.U. Ball X-Tension R/T

T.R.U. Ball X-Tension R/T
T.R.U. Ball X-Tension R/T

With the introduction of the new X-Tension R/T Wrist Strap Release, T.R.U. Ball takes the fight to target panic. The pressure sensitive, or relaxed-tension activated, release is made to teach archers proper pull-thru back tension using the major muscles of the back rather than just finger pull. Three hooks available in the Tristar Hook System rotate around for quick loading without having to cock/set the trigger. The pressure/back-tension mode is activated when you pull the bow with both locks depressed and then release them and pull through with back tension. The relaxed-tension method is drawn the same way, but the sensitivity is set at less weight than the hold weight and as soon as you release the trigger locks the string is released. Two methods, one goal — better form and no panic shooting!

Go on the Offensive – Trophy Ridge React Retaliate

Trophy Ridge React Retaliate
Trophy Ridge React Retaliate

The Retaliate is the latest addition to Trophy Ridge’s React Series of innovative bow sights. React Technology automatically sights in all long-range pins based on your initial calibration of the 20- and 30-yard pins. In the case of the React Retaliate, which is a 5-pin sight, once you sight in at 20 and 30, the 40-, 50- and 60-yard pins will be automatically positioned via the built-in React mechanism. An aluminum mounting bracket ensures durability, while the rheostat LED click light allows the archer to adjust brightness of the five .019-inch horizontal pins based on lighting conditions. Vibration is reduced while maintaining lightweight strength through the Ballistix CoPolymer System. Micro-click windage and elevation adjustments are quick and easy, and downrange accuracy is enhanced via the available second-axis adjustment.

The new lineup includes the ever-popular Bear Claw quiver in 3- and 5-arrow options, the Soft Loc Classic in 3- and 5-arrow options and the flagship Power Loc 4-arrow quiver.

Apex Gear Surge
Apex Gear Surge

The new Apex Gear Surge release aid is handheld and thumb activated. It is available in three- or four-finger models and features finger bed grooves for enhanced grip and control. The thin head and jaw structure are designed to reduce torque on a D-loop, while the latching jaw feature keeps the release locked in place while you wait patiently for the moment of truth. Built with a lightweight, CNC-machined aluminum case, stainless steel mechanics, multi-position thumb barrel and individual travel and sensitivity adjustments, the pleasantly priced Surge is designed to offer more bang for your buck. The Surge is for left- and right-handed archers and has a built-in lanyard attachment with a lanyard included.

Integrated Accuracy – QAD UltraRest Integrate MX

QAD UltraRest Integrate MX
QAD UltraRest Integrate MX

Initially developed in exclusive partnerships with Mathews and Hoyt, Quality Archery Designs is now offering its groundbreaking UltraRest Integrate MX directly to consumers — and the company said it expects additional bow manufacturers to begin offering compatible bow models in the near future. Unlike traditional arrows rests that are bolted onto the riser, the UltraRest Integrate MX attaches via a patented dovetail mount that is machined directly into the back of compatible bow risers. This system not only provides unmatched security but also automatically levels the rest for superior accuracy. The design also allowed QAD engineers to streamline the rest housing, resulting in the company’s lightest, sleekest offering to date. Other highlights of this full-capture, drop-away, cable-driven rest include micro-click windage and elevation adjustments with fine-tuning of .0019-inch per click and a machined, aircraft-grade aluminum launcher arm. The UltraRest Integrate MX is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Affordable and Dependable – Custom Bow Equipment CX5

CX5-sight-green.png
Custom Bow Equipment CX5

Custom Bow Equipment’s CX5 weighs less than 9 ounces yet features everything bowhunters need in a sight. The extension bar is made from high-modulus carbon, making the sight lightweight yet super stiff, while the dovetail mounting brackets, adjustment rails and scope housing are crafted from machined aluminum for enhanced strength. The five .019-inch blade-style pins are easy to see, even in lowlight conditions, thanks to 12 inches of fiber optic in each pin and a rheostat light. Both the second and third axis are adjustable, and making changes to elevation and windage are easy via multiple mounting positions and the ability to make micro-adjustments as needed. The CX5 comes assembled for righthanded shooters, but it’s easily converted for southpaws.
