Inspired by a proven legacy, Mission Archery is proud to reintroduce Solocam® technology with the most advanced entry level bow ever offered from Mission. Originally pioneered by Mathews Archery and widely regarded as one of the most influential innovations in modern bowhunting, the proven cam system now powers the all-new 2026 Mission Stryde.

MISSION® ARCHERY INTRODUCES 2026 STRYDE

“We really felt like there was an opportunity to have a more entry-level product that would perform at a level outside of its price point. Something that had great performance, lifetime warranty, and was built right here in our factory,” said Brad Treu, VP Sales & Marketing at Mathews Archery. “That goal led us to the Stryde, a bow that brings proven technology, premium features, and exceptional versatility together in a package that delivers far more than its price tag would suggest.”

Equipped with Mission Solocam technology, the Stryde delivers a smooth, controlled draw cycle with a solid backwall, engineered to maximize efficiency across a wide range of draw lengths and setups. Paired with a rotating mod system, the Stryde offers draw lengths ranging from 21 to 30 inches while generating speeds up to 323 FPS. The result is a highly adaptable platform that can be tailored to fit archers of nearly any size, experience level, or shooting style.

Available in axle-to-axle lengths of 28 and 30.5 inches, the Stryde offers a generous string angle and an extremely stable shooting platform at full draw. Its newly designed machined aluminum riser creates a lightweight yet durable foundation, enhancing stability and consistency for improved accuracy shot after shot.

The Stryde will be offered in two limb configurations to accommodate a broad range of archers. Standard limbs provide draw weights ranging from 50 to 70 pounds, while Stryde Lite limbs offer draw weights from 30 to 50 pounds.

Outfitted with Mathews’ proven 3D Damping technology, the Stryde dramatically reduces post-shot vibration and noise, creating an extremely stealthy platform. Featuring a machined dovetail mounting system for seamless integration of the new Mission QAD UltraRest® Integrate R1, the Stryde delivers a streamlined profile and enhanced tunability.

The Stryde also features Mission’s ergonomic grip design, providing a comfortable 14-degree grip angle inspired by the same precision and feel Mathews bows are known for. This bow is also built compatible with Mission Side Plates, giving archers expanded options for personalized fit and feel.

Mission is offering four premium finish options for the Stryde, including the newest addition to the lineup: Green Ambush. The Stryde can also be paired with the new Bowhunter Pro Kit or standard Bowhunter Kit, creating a complete ready-to-hunt setup featuring a rest, quiver, and 5-pin sight.

When it comes to archery, success often comes down to precision. A dependable sight can make all the difference between a missed opportunity and a perfect shot. The Hawkeye 1.5 was designed for archers who want a straightforward, reliable system that helps them stay accurate in the moments that matter most.

One of the biggest advantages of the Hawkeye 1.5 is its uncluttered single-pin design. Instead of juggling multiple pins and guessing which one to use, shooters can focus on one aiming point and make quick adjustments based on distance. This setup creates a cleaner field of view, helping archers stay locked in on their target without distractions.

Speed and convenience are also key features of this sight. Its adjustable yardage system allows hunters to make quick corrections while staying ready for the shot. In real hunting situations where game rarely waits, having the ability to adapt fast can be a major advantage.

Durability is another area where the Hawkeye 1.5 stands out. Built with tough, lightweight materials, it’s made to withstand the wear and tear that comes with long days in the woods, rough terrain, and changing weather conditions. Hunters need gear they can trust, and this sight is made with that in mind.

Visibility is critical, especially during the low-light periods when many animals are most active. The Hawkeye 1.5 is designed to keep the aiming point clear and easy to see, giving archers confidence whether they’re in the stand before sunrise or waiting for that final evening movement.

What makes this sight appealing is its ability to combine simplicity with performance. It removes unnecessary complications while still offering the precision serious archers expect. That makes it a strong choice for both experienced bowhunters and those looking to upgrade their setup.

For anyone wanting a sight that delivers clean aiming, reliable adjustments, and rugged dependability, the Hawkeye 1.5 offers a practical solution. It’s designed to help archers stay focused, shoot confidently, and perform at their best when it counts.

YANKTON, S.D. – Five archers added USA Archery 3D Nationals titles to the Field Nationals they had claimed just 24 hours earlier, with a further seven more medaling in both.

Ava Jones (barebow women), Marcel Laurens (barebow 50+ men), Cody Hasson (traditional men), Joella Bates and Michael Davenport (both longbow) were the five to triumph in both forms of the sport following three days of competition at the Gavin’s Point Archery Range just outside Yankton. Field Nationals took place on Thursday and Friday, with 3D Nationals unfolding on Saturday.

Grady Kane took Field Nationals gold in compound U21 men before claiming silver compound men at 3D Nationals, behind Adam Winey. Michael Rossiter is the new 3D Nationals champion in the recurve 50+ men’s division, having taken silver in Field Nationals.

While Jones (pictured) claimed the barebow women’s national title in both disciplines, Erin Hollom manage silver in both. Chloe Crandall emerged with gold and silver in barebow, claiming the U21 women’s title at Field Nationals and departing with 3D Nationals bronze in the senior division.

Jacob Olmstead and Gabriel Urgelles each left with one gold and one silver in barebow U21 men. Olmstead won Field Nationals by two points from Urgelles, with the latter victorious by four points on Saturday.

Jon Starks was another to podium in both events, taking traditional men silver in 3D Nationals and bronze in Field Nationals, while Stephanie Correa went even better, winning Field Nationals gold in traditional women before settling for silver at 3D Nationals.

A crossbow is only as reliable as the care you put into it. While most hunters focus on broadheads, optics, and bolts, proper rail maintenance often gets pushed aside.

For many outdoor retailers, the off-season can bring slower foot traffic and reduced sales. But one category continues gaining momentum year-round: airguns. Once viewed mainly as backyard plinkers or entry-level shooting products, today’s modern PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) airguns have evolved into highly accurate, high-performance equipment that appeals to hunters, target shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

One of the biggest advantages for retailers is that airguns exist in a unique space within the shooting industry. Unlike many traditional firearms, airguns often avoid the same regulatory hurdles, making them easier for consumers to purchase and simpler for retailers to sell. That accessibility can translate into steady revenue opportunities throughout the year.

Airguns also fit naturally alongside archery equipment. Customers interested in bows, crossbows, and precision shooting are often drawn to airguns because they share similar qualities: accuracy, focus, technology, and skill development. For shops already serving hunters and target shooters, adding airguns can expand inventory without straying far from their core customer base.

Air Venturi has positioned itself as a strong partner for independent retailers looking to enter or expand within the airgun market. The company offers a broad selection of products ranging from entry-level options to premium air rifles designed for serious enthusiasts. This variety allows dealers to cater to customers across multiple price points and experience levels.

The overlap between archery and airgun customers is significant. Many consumers who invest in premium bows or crossbows are equally interested in high-end airgun technology. These customers appreciate precision engineering, quiet operation, and equipment that can be enjoyed year-round for practice, pest control, or recreation.

Air Venturi also supports dealers beyond simply supplying products. The company works with retailers to create inventory programs designed to reduce risk while maximizing turnover. Flexible stocking options, product rotation strategies, and industry expertise help retailers build an airgun section that stays fresh and relevant to local customers.

Another key benefit is education and service support. Shops that already perform bow tuning, string replacement, or sight setup often have many of the foundational skills needed to service PCP airguns. Air Venturi helps bridge the gap with training and technical assistance, allowing retailers to confidently support their customers after the sale.

In addition to product support, Air Venturi helps drive traffic to participating dealers through its online presence and customer referral efforts. This can help smaller independent shops compete in a growing market while building a reputation as a destination for both archery and airgun enthusiasts.

For retailers searching for ways to create more consistent year-round revenue, airguns offer a practical and profitable opportunity. By partnering with experienced suppliers like Air Venturi, outdoor shops can diversify their inventory, attract new customers, and strengthen their position as multi-season destinations for shooting sports.
