The Vintage arrow is a traditional option for archers who use a compound bow, recurve or both. This high-quality wood-grain carbon arrow has a hand-painted cresting. Each Vintage arrow must pass strict quality-control procedures. The Duracoat wood grain overlay-finish allows refletching and cresting. Vintage arrows are straightness-sorted, spine-matched, and weight-matched to ensure quality and toughness.

Carbon Express Maxima Red SD

Carbon Express unleashes the new Maxima RED SD arrows. The smaller .203-inch inside diameter carbon shaft has stiffer ends to contain the arrow’s flex to the arrow’s RED ZONE. The RED ZONE is the section of the arrow shaft engineered by Carbon Express to contain dynamic spine, which reduces wind-drift for greater long-range accuracy. The Maxima RED SD takes only two spine sizes to cover 40- to 92-pound bows. Six- and 12-packs are sorted and matched by weight and spine. Spine selection sorting tolerance is +/- 0.0025-inch. Weight sorting tolerance is +/- 1.0 grains.

Easton Archery 5mm FMJ

For a limited time, Easton’s Utah factory will produce the FMJ in retro XX75 Camo Hunter finish known by countless bowhunters in the 1970s. The limited edition FMJ shafts will use the same construction as the other Full Metal Jacket arrows—an aluminum jacket over a high-strength carbon core. The 5MM has a micro diameter for more penetration and offers a higher level of broadhead accuracy than a standard carbon arrow. The FMJ is offered in six models including: 4MM, 5MM, 6MM, Dangerous Game, Crossbow, and Bowfishing.  The 5MM retro is available in four spine sizes: 500, 400, 340 and 300.

.30-06 Outdoors Arrow Snot 

30-06 Outdoors’ Arrow Snot arrow release fluid is an easy, environmentally friendly way to remove arrows from a stubborn animal foam target. It uses Heat Displacement Technology (HDT) to reduce the heat caused by friction when an arrow hits the target. This arrow friction causes the inside of the target to adhere to the arrow, making arrow removal difficult and causing premature target wear. It’s nearly invisible when applied, 100 percent odorless, 100 percent waterproof and rated to -25 degrees. Learn more at 30-06outdoors.com.

SKB iSeries Ultimate Single/Double Bow Case

SKB Sports Division recently introduced the 3i-4719-PL Ultimate Single/Double Bow Case. This case is great for bringing one bow and some gear to the 3D range, or bringing two bows for group fun.

It easily converts from a single-bow case to a double-bow case in seconds, and offers all the features of the iSeries cases.

Lumenok Extinguisher

The Burt Coyote Co. made the Extinguisher to provide shooters with a way easily turn off their Lumenoks and remove deeply imbedded arrows with ease using the same device. The polymer grip surrounds the arrow and Lumenok at the same time. As the archer wiggles the arrow, the polymer is compressed on one side and then the other. The compressed material pushes the Lumenok slightly rearward, breaking its contact from the rear of the shaft. That leaves the Lumenok’s rotation unchanged from shot to shot.
