- Bowtech has just released two exciting new target bows for 2020 - the Reckoning 38 and the Specialist II. This year they have really hit the nail on the head with some fantastic options for target archery. Both bows are available in an array of eye catching colours and also take advantage of the Clutch performance grip system.
- The eagerly awaited Hoyt 2020 Target launch has come and gone, leaving some exciting bows in its wake.
- First up is the Invicta Series that has taken target compound designs to an even higher level. Features such as an adjustable cable guard, extended length riser for more stability, 2 arrow rest mounting holes for positive lockdown, parallel laminated limb design, zero tolerance limb pockets, two different axle to axle lengths and exceptional performance generated via the new DCX cam and proven SVX cam. Both the Invicta 37 and Invicta 40 include Hoyts' modular grip system that not only lets you customise grip angle to suit your shooting style, but now includes three extra grips that give an archer the opportunity to reduce drawlength by 1/8". This is handy when extra adjustment is needed between 1/2" module settings or to simply tighten up your form when just that small amount of adjustment is required.
- Next up is the FX Comp. A target bow designed with the smaller stature archer in mind. This bow is set to perform at a high level with cams that are maximised for efficiency. At a drawlength of only 27" the FX Comp can reach speeds of up to 309 fps with the SVX cam. The FX Comp is also available with either the DCX cam in 65% or 75% let-off or the SVX cam in 65% let-off. As with the Invicta, the bow comes in 9 target colours that include; Satin Black, Satin Championship Red, Satin Cobalt Blue, Rally Green, Orange Torch, Silver Ice, Teal, Slate Grey and Gold. BlackOut is also available on request. If you are under 28.5" the FX Comp could be your next perfect match for 3D and target archery.
- All bow are now able to be ordered. For further information take a read through our web listings or call and speak with one of our staff at either Castle Hill or Sumner Park.
- The Hoyt recurve launch has come and gone with two new risers hitting the market for 2020. These being the Formula Xi and Grand Prix EXCEED. Both risers feature all new String Tension Technology, allowing archers to customise the feel of their limbs.
- Mathews is in the building! A bumper shipment of Mathews has arrived into our warehouse to restock the shelves with Traverse and Vertix bows. The Vertix truly is something else with its super convenient Switchweight technology.
- A new shipment of AAE equipment has arrived including arrow rests, nocks and vanes. This order contains our first lot of the all new AAE Trad vane in 4 inch. These vanes will be uploaded onto our website very soon.
- BowTech is due to arrive in coming days with stocks of the ultra fast Realm SR6, value packed and Carbon Icon Deluxe Package and highly innovative Reckoning, in various target colours.
- Make sure to check out our Specials page for some great bargains. Standout specials this week are the TEK Target sights and the large diameter Easton Full Bore Shafts.
- The legendary Sylvester Stallone reached out to Bear Archery specifically to request the use of Bear Archery bows in the Rambo: Last Blood movie.
