Carbon Express® Aramid KV™

November 04, 2010 By the Bowhunter Editorial Staff

New Age In Arrows Launched

By the Bowhunter Editorial Staff

Carbon Express® has taken arrow technology to the next level by introducing their Aramid KV™ shafts. A layer of Kevlar®, pound for pound five times stronger than steel, is intricately sandwiched between layers of both hoop strength and straight carbon layers.

The Kevlar makes the shafts 27 percent stronger than the highly popular Maxima Hunter™ shafts, and capable of withstanding impact with a cement block. A new BuffTuff® Plus Diamond Carbon weave in the back third of the shaft makes this the fastest-recovering arrow available. Combine that feature with Built-In Weight Forward technology, and you'll have the tightest groups possible, particularly with broadheads.

The shafts are spine and straightness-selected to a tolerance of .0025 inch and weight variance is +/- 1 grain. The 250s weigh 8.9 gpi; the 350s weigh 9.8 gpi. Both come in Mossy Oak® New Break-Up with Blazer™ vanes, or you can buy raw shafts. Contact: Carbon Express, (810) 733-6360.

It maximizes available light to give the user an enhanced view of their surroundings. It's not a targeting device either, but a tool for scanning fields in low light, or even walking into your stand or blind without a flashlight. This is one-of-a-kind technology that holds many uses for all types of hunters.

Primos Double Bull Delivers New Raised Hunting Ground Blind

On the surface, it would seem almost impossible to keep improving the Double Bull ground blinds manufactured by Primos. But as Raised Hunting founder and television show host David Holder explained to OSG's Lynn Burkhead, this year's new Raised Hunting Double Bull blind raises the standard of ground blind excellence even higher, whether you're chasing elk, mule deer or pronghorn antelope out west in Montana or big record book whitetails living in the Midwestern whitetail paradise of Iowa.
