“Change or Get Left Behind” has been the mantra of Georgia-based Obsession Bows since it exploded onto the archery scene five years ago, and the award-winning manufacturer has done it again in 2018 with the new Fixation.

An all-new riser design for 2018 reduces bow flex during the draw cycle, enabling absolutely superior accuracy, while a new Anti-Torque Cable Rod reduces cam lean and torque. The Fixation utilizes Obsession’s Two-Track Cam design (Patent No. 7997259) for an unmatched smooth draw.

The Fixation produces IBO speeds up to a wicked fast 358 FPS. It will be offered in both 6-inch and 7-inch brace heights, with either the ‘M’ configuration for smooth-as-butter shooting or the ‘XP’ for pin-your-ears-back speed and performance. “If speed is your goal, then grab the Fixation 6XP and buckle up”, says Obsession Bows’ Dennis Lewis. “The XP models feature our XP Cam for awesome acceleration, while the M models utilize the proven DE Cam for exceptionally smooth shooting while giving up very little in speed.” The Fixation weighs in at 4.3 pounds, has a 32 1/4-inch axle-to-axle length and is available in draw lengths from 23.5- inches to 31-inches. MSRP for the Fixation is $999.

Midland, Michigan —

The Rack One Whitetail System is the brainchild of Chris and Casey Keefer: hunters, outdoor enthusiasts and hosts of fan favorite shows like Outdoor Channel’s Dropped and Rival Wild on the Sportsmen Channel. Combining their passion for hunting with their land management background, the brothers developed Rack One as a systematic process to grow trophy racks and improve herd health from year to year.

“There’s nothing quite like the Rack One Whitetail System on the market,” said Chip Hunnicutt, Director of Marketing for Arcus Hunting. “It’s exciting to partner with the Keefer Brothers to create an innovative system specifically designed for hunters to use throughout the year. The minerals give the deer what they need, while the attractants help the hunters get what they want.”

Rack One consists of three different phases: Grow, Scout, and Hunt. The Grow Phase includes Thrive and Xcellerator, which provide necessary minerals to support antler growth 365 days a year. The Scout Phase features Amped, a premium whitetail attractant that can be used as a stand alone product all year round. The final phase of the system— the Hunt Phase— includes Rut Fuel, a premium whitetail attractant intensified for the hunting season. The product packaging has a useful diagram to show consumers when each phase takes place and what product to use over the course of a year.

“We created this product based out of necessity,” said Chris Keefer. “If someone is looking for magic in a bag to attract a deer, or if someone is looking to grow big deer all year, Rack One is for them. It’s for every type of whitetail hunter. We studied whitetail to create this product, and we’ve seen it work time and time again. ”
