Alpine Quivers

Now under new ownership, Alpine Archery is launching a series of American-made quivers, compatible with most compound bows, crossbows, and recurves. The updated line includes the compact, lightweight Power Loc 4-arrow quiver with hanging hook as well as the Soft Lock and Bear Claw quivers, both available in 3- and 5- arrow configurations. New Alpine quivers feature a durable urethane hood, accommodate standard or micro-diameter shafts, and are available in matte black, OD Green, and Realtree Edge.

MSRP: $29.99-$54.99 | alpinearchery.com

Bow Spider

Ideal for bowhunters hiking miles through the backcountry or trekking public land with a climber in tow, the Bow Spider allows for hands-free carrying of a bow, while keeping it easily accessible should an unexpected opportunity arise. With included straps and screws, the Bow Spider secures your bow to any pack, belt, blind, or tree. The bow is held in place by an aluminum arm that attaches to the riser and slides into an injection-molded receiver via a gravity-locking system. To release, simply pull the bow up out of the receiver. The Bow Spider system allows for countless mounting options and is available in green, tan, or black.

MSRP: $84.95 | bowspider.com

Bohning Pocket Quiver

The new Pocket Quiver from Bohning offers a safe, convenient way to tote your arrows for backyard practice sessions and 3D archery shoots. The slender Pocket Quiver holds up to six fieldpoint-tipped arrows of any diameter and is compact enough to fit in your back pocket, attach to a belt, or secure onto a pack strap for quick and easy access. Arrows won’t budge until you’re ready to nock them with the Bohning Pocket Quiver.

Bee Stinger Premier Plus

Developed with serious target archers in mind, the Bee Stinger Premier Plus is constructed of a proprietary high modulus carbon for maximum quality, strength, and stabilization. Bee Stinger technology delivers better down-range accuracy, more shooting consistency, and a smoother feel on any setup. Premier Plus stabilizers each come with independent weights for customization and are available in six lengths from 20-36 inches.

MSRP: $254.99-$294.99 | beestinger.com

Following the success of the PXL Hunter, Specialty Archery has debuted a new offering to provide ultimate accuracy to target archers — the PXS Target Peep. Equipped with Center String Technology, the PXS Target Peep eliminates left and right misses by locating the aperture in the center of the bowstring. Dual String Angle Technology allows for both 37- and 45-degree string angles on the same peep housing. Available in a variety of colors, the PXS Target Peep is compatible with Specialty Archery’s aperture inserts, verifier and clarifier lenses, and shade caps for the ultimate customization of your rig.

MSRP: $35-$38 | specialtyarch.com

TightSpot 2.5 Pivot

For 2021, TightSpot debuts a revolutionary design dubbed the most adjustable 2-piece quiver ever created. The Pivot 2.5’s triple-axis adjustment allows for a full range of movement — not just a couple preset positions. Constructed of aluminum and woven carbon fiber, the durable, lightweight design provides maximum arrow security and perfect bow balance while killing vibration and remaining completely silent. TightSpot’s patented BullDog Arrow Grippers secure arrows of any diameter, while the Quick-Draw feature keeps a second arrow at the ready for follow-up shots. Available in left- and right-hand models, the Pivot 2.5 comes with multiple adapters for the perfect fit on most bow models.

Think Differently When Hanging Treestands

How often do we consider the wind when hanging our treestands? Almost always! That's a good strategy, except for the fact that we're not hunting the wind — we're hunting deer. With the benefit of Ozonics, it gives us the opportunity to think about where we need to be in order to best hunt our target bucks, even if that means we're not in the perfect place for a particular wind.

Hunting the Right Way

Hunting the Right Way

The right stand, on the right day, with the right wind — that's when success tends to occur. But what if you only have a few select days to hunt because of work, family activities, life events, etc. and the wind is all wrong? That's where Ozonics can come into play. Bowhunters can do more than good if they hunt certain stand sets in the wrong wind. An Ozonics unit, however, is just what the doctor ordered to continue hunting the “right way” — even at the wrong time!

How to Hunt Small Acreage All Season

When it comes to hunting small properties, our success can be boiled down to how much pressure we put on it. And most of the pressure, Cole Tanner explains, is the scent that we produce — and leave behind — in the field. While we're constantly trying to pattern deer, these odors actually allow the deer to pattern us. On smaller properties, our margin of error is razor-thin, so we need to adjust our strategy accordingly.

Do Animals Smell Ozone?

Ozonics' Cole Tanner tackles one of the most frequently asked questions the company receives. His in-depth answer is that while animals can indeed smell ozone, there's a very limited opportunity to do so. In our experience, even if deer do recognize that something is a bit different, they simple won't see it as a threat. Our entire staff has trusted Ozonics on our hunts for many years, and we can't begin to tell you how many swirling wind situations their units have guided us through.
