<p>MUSKEGON, MI – Nature doesn&#8217;t hide things. It buries them in plain sight, breaking up every edge until there&#8217;s nothing left for the eye to grab onto. That&#8217;s the trick Realtree set out to steal with its newest pattern,&nbsp;<strong>AB1<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong>, and Blocker Outdoors is pioneering the pattern and putting it to work across the lineup.</p>



<p>Most camo starts in a design studio. AB1 started in the woods. Realtree&#8217;s team didn&#8217;t sketch something that looked convincing and call it done. They studied how concealment actually happens out there, in rock and timber and leaf litter, then built the pattern to work the same way instead of just slapping new colors on an old layout.</p>



<p><strong>Inspired By What&#8217;s Already There</strong></p>



<p>Realtree engineered AB1 using the same camouflage mechanics found in nature itself. The design pulls its visual cues from the irregular geometry of fractured rock, weathered timber, and broken forest floors. Nothing about it repeats in a predictable rhythm. Controlled chaos, if you will.</p>



<p>That&#8217;s not an accident. Nature doesn&#8217;t tile. A rock face doesn&#8217;t clone itself every few feet, and neither does a stretch of hardwood floor after the leaves come down. AB1 fractures and drifts organically, the same way real terrain does when you&#8217;re staring at it from a tree stand or a ground blind, so it never gives the eye a repeating shape to latch onto.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img src="https://members-prd.theoutdoorwire.com/images/6bcd0232-a185-4d79-b40a-3b27503f9095.jpeg" alt="" width="237" height="331"/></figure>



<p><strong>Close Range To Long Range</strong></p>



<p>The mechanics behind it go deeper than looks. AB1 uses irregular shapes and contrast shifts to dissolve hard edges before they ever read as a human outline.</p>



<p>Up close, the textured surface detail keeps blending in, holding up even when a deer or a tom is close enough to notice a seam. At distance, that same detail visually collapses, so the body never resolves into a solid shape no matter how far off the game is standing. Intersecting, directional elements cut across the shoulders, arms, and torso too, breaking up form and movement together instead of just one or the other.</p>



<p>That&#8217;s what separates AB1 from a pattern that just looks busy. A design that clusters into visible chunks gets picked out by the eye, animal or human, especially as light shifts through a morning sit. AB1 avoids that trap entirely, staying unrecognizable and visually absorbed into the terrain across changing light, varied ground, and unpredictable distances.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img src="https://members-prd.theoutdoorwire.com/images/ccb376cc-67ee-498d-b160-c4e175110d0c.jpeg" alt="" width="247" height="242"/></figure>



<p><strong>One Pattern, Every Season</strong></p>



<p>It&#8217;s also not tied to one habitat or one time of year. The same qualities that make AB1 effective in rock and hardwood settings carry over to farm country, brushy fence lines, and everything between.</p>



<p>That kind of range matters more than it sounds. A hunter chasing turkeys in April and whitetail in November usually needs two different patterns to do it right. AB1 is built to close that gap, which is exactly why it&#8217;s showing up across multiple pieces in the Blocker Outdoors line rather than a single product.</p>



<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t want a pattern that only worked in one type of cover,&#8221; said Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director, Steve Allie. &#8220;AB1 breaks up the human outline in rock, timber, open ground, you name it. That kind of versatility is why you&#8217;re going to see it across the board in our lineup, not just on one piece of gear.&#8221;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img src="https://members-prd.theoutdoorwire.com/images/7657c699-7ea9-40ee-93f7-9dff0b349235.jpeg" alt="" width="252" height="288"/></figure>



<p><strong>Concealment That Matches the Rest of the System</strong></p>



<p>Blocker Outdoors has spent years engineering purpose-built hunting apparel that performs across all game species, backed by innovative technologies and a hunter-driven fit. The brand wanted a camouflage pattern built to the same standard.</p>



<p>&#8220;AB1 is another step in the evolution of Blocker Outdoors,&#8221; Allie added. &#8220;We&#8217;ve developed a diverse lineup of apparel that blends versatile camouflage, advanced technologies, and individual fit into a complete system designed to perform wherever and however hunters pursue game.&#8221;</p>



<p><strong>Available Now</strong></p>



<p>Realtree AB1 is rolling out across the Blocker Outdoors lineup, with more pieces set to join as the pattern continues its expansion through the rest of the year.&nbsp;<a href="https://click-321494.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=64855399&amp;msgid=876529&amp;act=9B31&amp;c=321494&amp;pid=3620546&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blockeroutdoors.com%2Fmen%2F%3F_camocolor%3Drealtree-ab1&amp;cf=96178&amp;v=653df3ff10400861b803cd01c96c737e60c309beea27fc44552884fd370eb008">See the full AB1 selection.</a></p>

<p>Today, Victory Archery—The Carbon Arrow Experts—is proud to announce the continued renewal of their wildly popular partnership with Working Class Bowhunter, a relationship that has been growing stronger since 2022.</p>



<p>UNFILTERED TRUTH, UNMATCHED LETHALITY</p>



<p>The Working Class crew demands arrows that hit like a freight train and survive the ugliest conditions. They have zero patience for marketing fluff or repainted legacy designs. Victory Archery arrows are built differently because Victory engineers control the process from start to finish. Unlike other arrow manufacturers that rely on generic carbon materials, Victory produces its own carbon fiber, allowing engineers to control fiber structure, weave design, and shaft performance.</p>



<p>When the Working Class guys draw back on a heavy-horned Midwestern whitetail or a tough-as-nails public land beast, they know they are sending a 100% carbon fiber missile engineered for maximum penetration and supreme consistency.</p>



<p>AEROSPACE SCIENCE FOR THE WORKING CLASS HUNTER</p>



<p>It might seem like a contrast—gritty, everyday bowhunters relying on an aerospace materials science think tank—but the results on the ground speak for themselves. Victory Archery engineers arrows for one reason: performance under pressure. With proprietary insert technology for undeniable bone-crushing durability, Victory builds shafts that the Working Class crew trusts entirely to get the job done.</p>



<p>Whether it is navigating a brush-choked scrape line or threading the needle on a tight timber shot, there is no margin for error. When consistency matters, those details matter.</p>



<p>ABOUT VICTORY ARCHERY: Victory Archery doesn’t accept &#8220;good enough.&#8221; We are a precision-obsessed team of aerospace engineers, hardcore hunters, and target champions who dictate the future of carbon arrow technology. As a vertically integrated partner of Mitsubishi Chemical Group—one of the largest carbon fiber manufacturers on the planet—we have exclusive access to the highest-grade composite materials on earth. From raw carbon fiber development to lethal finished-shaft performance, Victory controls every variable. We aren&#8217;t here to participate in the archery industry; we are here to lead it. We are The Carbon Arrow Experts.</p>

<p><a href="https://nbef.org/">National Bowhunter Education Foundation</a>&nbsp;(NBEF) Executive Director Marilyn Bentz was recently awarded with The Ann Weber Hoyt Award of Merit. The Ann Weber Hoyt Award is reserved for those deserving women who have demonstrated excellence in career achievements and service to the archery community as an administrator, bowhunter, businessperson, coach, competitor or official.</p>



<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an honor to receive this award; especially after knowing and bowhunting with Ann Hoyt,&#8221; explained Marilyn Bentz, NBEF Executive Director. &#8220;I&#8217;m passionate about archery and bowhunting and really enjoy spreading that passion with others. Throughout my career I&#8217;ve worked to increase participation and partnered with great individuals and organizations to amplify those efforts.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;Marilyn&#8217;s a great ambassador for archery and bowhunting. She&#8217;s an excellent connector within the industry and while doing outreach,&#8221; said Tom Nelson, Archery Hall of Fame Board President. &#8220;We extend congratulations to our friend and colleague Marilyn on receiving the Ann Hoyt Award.&#8221;</p>



<p>A two-term board member of the Archery Trade Association, Bentz has led the National Bowhunter Education Foundation as Executive Director since 2003. This global nonprofit is dedicated to bowhunter safety and education through standardized curriculum. Previously, she served on the NBEF Board of Directors from 1996 &#8211; 2003.

Marilyn was instrumental in the construction of the Archery Hall of Fame and Museum located in Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, MO. Marilyn was onsite two days a week from June 2012 until September 2012 when the AHOF was opened.</p>



<p>In recognition of her contributions to the archery and hunting community, Bentz has received the prestigious Fred Bear Achievement Award. In 2005, Bentz was inducted into The Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame. She received IHEA&#8217;s coveted Gladney Davidson award in 2016 for making significant contributions to hunter education. In 2026, Bentz was honored with the ATA&#8217;s Industry Impact Award for inspiring others and growing participation in archery and bowhunting.</p>



<p>Bentz is a familiar face in the industry, attending many conferences and events each year. NBEF exhibits at and sponsors many of these events with Bentz often providing an update on bowhunter education or serving as a panelist. Representing NBEF, Bentz regularly attends the Archery Trade Association trade show, ATA Summit, SHOT Show, National Wild Turkey Federation conference, National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) competitions and state coordinator conferences, National Wildlife &amp; National Resource conference, Association of Conservation Information conference, Association of Fish &amp; Wildlife Agencies conference, National R3 conference, Pope &amp; Young conference, International Hunter Education USA conference, 4-H national conference, Tree Stand Manufacturers Association conference, Archery Hall of Fame events, Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame events, state R3 conferences, Professional Outdoor Media Association conference and various state media conferences.</p>



<p>She began her career in the outdoor industry through a professional connection with renowned entrepreneur Chuck Saunders. Bentz advanced through key leadership roles in top archery and hunting companies, including National Sales Manager and Director of Marketing at Saunders Archery, followed by senior positions such as Director of Sales and Marketing and Vice President of National Sales at McKenzie Targets, Knight &amp; Hale; Hale/Code Blue–PRADCO, and Golden Eagle/Satellite Archery/Bear Archery/North American Archery.</p>



<p>NBEF endeavors to spread NBEF&#8217;s message about its safety and success-focused bowhunter ed classes, informational materials and to enthusiastically support the industry.</p>



<p>NBEF helps bowhunters learn to be safe, successful and stewards of the sport. NBEF offers bowhunting instructional items, books, videos, 3-D models, apparel and more at&nbsp;<a href="https://nbef.org/">nbef.org</a>.</p>

<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>
