PLANO, IL (June 28, 2016) – This beast is no myth. Standing 7′ tall and leaving a 6′ by 6′ footprint, the new-for-2016 Ameristep Sanctuary Blind is confirmed to exist. The largest five-hub ground blind on the market, this monster will change the way families and friends hunt together, and must be seen and experienced to be fully appreciated.

This is no Frankenstein blind, cobbled together from spare bits and pieces. Rather, the mad scientists at Ameristep created this new behemoth from the ground up, utilizing notoriously strong offset cable hubs to support the Sanctuary’s extra-large walls – a system that allows for the largest and tallest windows possible, constructed of shoot-through mesh and easily configured for sitting or standing bow shots.

The Sanctuary’s high-tech skin is made from Ameristep’s proprietary Durashell Plus Fabric in the versatile Realtree Xtra camouflage pattern. This extremely durable, dull, woven-polyester fabric is lightweight, soft-to-the-touch, and stealthy quiet. It also boasts the industry’s highest print quality. Inside, a black Shadow Guard coating devours silhouettes.

Whether set up in the woods, on the edge of a food plot, or in the middle of a corn field, a ground blind this immense takes up a lot of real estate. But, like Bigfoot, the monstrous Sanctuary can disappear at will. The Ameristep design team added patented Edge ReLeaf material at the corners and along the window frames to help hide the Sanctuary’s outline. In addition, two rows of sewn-in brush loops circle the blind’s perimeter – one row at the roof line and another below the windows – allowing hunters to maximize concealment by “brushing-out” the Sanctuary with natural vegetation to fit its surroundings. Backpack carrying case, stakes and tie down straps are included for easy transport, and for keeping this giant anchored in the field.

But once that position has been earned, other variables come into play. The bond between hunter and weapon will be tested. At this point, those who have practiced shooting from different positions and have complete knowledge of the particular ballistics of their specific weapon/projectile combination have the best chance at taking down their trophy. But one key variable remains: What’s the distance to my target?

At go time, even the most practiced marksman possessing infallible ballistic knowledge will fail to hit his or her mark if they misjudge the distance to the animal.

Don’t take chances. A high performance laser rangefinder like Halo’s NEW XRAY 800 (Model No. ZIR8X) will make those final few seconds of the hunt worry-free, allowing hunters to close the deal with a confident and clean shot.

The NEW Halo XRAY 800 Laser Rangefinder is a precise and finely engineered tool that will aid in conservation and contribute to the success of many hunts over many seasons – for an equally fine price that easily fits within most hunters’ budgets.

Delivering accuracy to +/- one yard, the Halo XRAY 800 provides impressive ranging out to a maximum of 800 yards – plenty of distance for any hunting situation. Versatile 6x magnification provides bright, clear images in a range of lighting conditions, while an updated and easy-to-read display with Dusk / Dawn mode shows battery status, mode setting, numerical display and unit of measure, which is selectable by yards or meters.

Dual operating modes allow users of the new Halo XRAY 800 to range targets in two ways. Standard mode provides a precise distance reading with a single push of the button, while Scan mode enables users to quickly range multiple targets without having to reactivate the laser for each target. AITM (Angle Intelligence) Technology automatically detects and compensates for slope in both mode settings, providing an accurate, “shoots like” distance reading, regardless of changes in elevation between user and target.

The compact XRAY 800’s ruggedized and water resistant housing is both durable and functional. Its comfortable and ergonomically correct grip extends over the lens to minimize glare while increasing surface area for more reliable handling. A nylon strap and protective case are included.

If you’re a bowhunter, you’ve probably heard the buzz about Bloodsport arrows and how they’re shaking up the archery industry. While much of the focus has been on the revolutionary Blood Ring feature, Bloodsport is quietly making the most durable and accurate shafts available, thanks to several exclusive technologies. Bloodsport has reimagined arrow design from tip to tip, and if you’re shooting anything else, you’re shooting an inferior shaft.

The Blood Ring’s Certain Shot Technology is likely the first Bloodsport feature that gets attention because it is visible and distinctive to their shafts. This section of special white material is engineered to aid in determining what vital organs the arrow passed through so you know how to proceed with tracking. The Blood Ring plainly shows what kind of hit was made using the age old logic of blood types. Different organs present with different blood types and colors. Bright red, red with air bubbles, dark red or greenish brown blood collects on the arrow and lets you know what move to make next.

While the Blood Ring is a distinctive and visible feature, the key to a quality carbon arrow comes down to something you don’t see. All carbon arrows are made of tiny strands of carbon fiber, but only Bloodsport shafts are made with Rugged Wrap Construction. This process provides a much thicker carbon wall than competing shafts, which greatly enhances stability and durability. This proprietary wrapping sequence produces more structure to resist the higher impacts produced by today’s high-performance bows. In addition, Rugged Wrap creates a more consistent spine rating, which enhances Bloodsport’s next exclusive feature: Fly Straight Technology.

Fly Straight Technology ensures that Bloodsport shafts have the tightest tolerances in the archery industry. It starts by controlling the Inside Diameter (ID) coupled with tight Outside Diameter (OD) tolerances. The result provides a more defined and consistent weight and spine rating. These are the two main specifications that produce consistent shot-to-shot accuracy from one shaft to the next. A dozen BloodSport Bloodsport arrows look the same, weigh the same and fly the same. They are the best arrows ever made.

Micro-diameter shafts have been gaining in popularity, and Bloodsport is once again leading the way in quality and innovation. In addition to Rugged Wrap Construction, Bloodsport micro-shafts are available with the R.O.C. System (Reliable Outsert Components). Bloodsport engineers developed the R.O.C. System during extensive arrow testing. Micro-diameter arrows consistently perform at the top in all categories, but they also tend to fail upon impact due to stress focused near the tip. The R.O.C. System was created to reinforce the shaft and also allow the use of standard-threaded broadheads. With the R.O.C. System, hunters can get the superior performance of micro-diameter shafts and still use their favorite broadheads.

Archery is all about choice, and Bloodsport recognizes that not all shooters want or value the same features. That’s why they offer a variety of shafts with different levels of technology. Whichever Bloodsport arrow you choose, rest assured you are shooting the most accurate, consistent and durable shaft in your chosen price point.

Bowhunters love carbon arrows because of their durability and accuracy, but if more hunters knew carbon arrows are made of tiny fibers wrapped together, they might pay more attention to which brand they’re shooting. The EVIDENCE from BloodSport is one of the best hunting arrows ever designed.

The EVIDENCE’s proprietary Rugged Wrap Construction process provides a much thicker carbon wall than competing shafts. When combined with BloodSport’s ROC (Reliable Outsert Component) system, the EVIDENCE is one of the toughest arrows ever built. The ultra small diameter means greater penetration and less wind drift. This arrow displays the perfect combination of accuracy, toughness and pass-through impact!

The EVIDENCE is pre-fletched with 2″ vanes for unmatched speed and durability, and they also feature BloodSport’s patent-pending Blood Ring, a special white material on the shaft that gathers blood and organic matter to help a hunter determine the quality of a shot. BloodSport shafts are the first hunting arrows that actually aid in recovering an animal.

The Blood Ring on EVIDENCE shafts is longer than on the company’s other arrows to better evaluate a hit. It will totally change the way you view your hunting arrows. With a super-tight +/-1 grain weight tolerance and a straightness tolerance of just .001″, the EVIDENCE is the perfect shaft for all your hunting needs.

The ONYX is another great hunting arrow that includes BloodSport’s proprietary Rugged Wrap Construction process for a much thicker carbon wall than competing shafts. The ultra small diameter creates greater penetration and has less wind drift. With the ONYX, you have the perfect combination of accuracy, toughness, and F.O.C.

The ONYX is pre-fletched with 2″ vanes for unmatched speed and durability. The patent pending Blood Ring is standard on all ONYX shafts, helping hunters recover more game. With a tight +/-1 grain per arrow weight tolerance and a straightness tolerance of .004″, the ONYX is a shaft for the most demanding hunters. In addition to its lethal performance, the ONYX also has killer looks. This is a true “blackout” arrow – creatively decorated with a flat black sheen and a black nock. The only color on this arrow is a single white vane and the Blood Ring.

For bowhunters looking for a more traditional arrow and are still obsessed with quality, BloodSport’s JUDGEMENT is a standard-diameter shaft designed to be light, fast and tough. Built with 100% carbon and the company’s proprietary Rugged Wrap construction process, JUDGEMENT shafts are an incredible combination of speed, accuracy and toughness. If you want a tough arrow with speed, then this is the arrow for you!

JUDGEMENT arrows are pre-fletched with 2″ vanes for unmatched speed and durability. BloodSport’s patent-pending Blood Ring is standard and will change the way you view your hunting arrow. With a +/- 1 grain per arrow weight tolerance and a straightness tolerance of .001″, the JUDGEMENT exceeds even the demands of even the most-picky bowhunter. All JUDGEMENT arrows are hand sorted and graded to ensure you get what you pay for. Great care is taken to perfectly match components to each shaft – they look the same, weigh the same and fly the same. You can aim with confidence right out of the box with the JUDGEMENT. Includes a standard 12-grain aluminum insert, but also accepts the 50-grain brass insert for greater F.O.C.

The PUNISHER is designed specifically for hunters who value light-weight and toughness, yet want the downrange efficiencies of true FOC. The PUNISHER is a standard diameter arrow made of 100% carbon and built with BloodSport’s proprietary Rugged Wrap construction process. The PUNISHER is pre-fletched with 2″ vanes for unmatched speed and durability and comes with the company’s patent-pending Blood Ring. With a +/- 1 grain per arrow weight tolerance and a straightness tolerance of .004″, the PUNISHER is truly perfect for all your hunting needs. When combined with BloodSport’s 50-grain brass insert, The PUNISHER delivers quite possibly the best “out of the box” value and experience for the Whitetail hunter. This is the go-to arrow to achieve maximum penetration for the Whitetail hunter using large-cutting mechanical broadheads!

Ideal F.O.C. (front-of-center) is recommended at 10% to 15% for hunting setups and optimal accuracy – especially at long distances and with broadheads. F.O.C. stabilizes your arrow and betters stores energy in the shaft, allowing for more accurate shot placement at greater distances as well as the delivery maximum penetration – less “flex” means more energy down the center of the shaft.

Blood Ring Features:
BloodSport’s Blood Ring is a blank canvas that actually takes a ‘blood sample’ when it passes through an animal. The Blood Ring takes the guesswork out of the equation, helping novice and expert hunters make the right decision about when and how to begin tracking.

The super bright-white, textured spray-on material is designed to capture blood as it passes through the animal without affecting arrow flight. You can literally see what type of hit you made from your stand, allowing you to make better decisions on when to begin tracking. The Blood Ring shows plainly what kind of hit was made using the age old logic of blood types. Different organs present different blood textures and colors. Bright red, red with air bubbles, dark red or green/brown blood collects on the arrow and lets the hunter know what move to make next.

ROC – RELIABLE OUTSERT COMPONENTS
The ROC was an idea conceived during extensive broadhead testing. While micro-diameter arrows consistently perform at the top the list, they also tend to fail upon impact due to poorly engineered outserts. Other outserts drive stress to the tip, causing deformations, while Deep-Six style heads/arrows put stress at the shank/threads and promote failure at the arrow wall. BloodSport engineers developed the reliable ROC system to showcase their best-in-class performance for the most efficient arrow flight in micro-diameter shafts, and also protect the arrow.

• 7075 Aircraft Grade Aluminum 20 gr. insert post
• 7075 Aircraft Grade Aluminum 40 gr. Outsert
• Fast and easy installation
• Proven to maximize micro-diameter arrow efficiency
• Provides superior arrow strength on impact

At BloodSport, we are committed to building the most accurate arrows in the world. While other companies count success by the number of shafts shipped out the door, we count ours one arrow at a time. After all, nothing is more important than the arrow you are about to shoot on your next hunt. All of our arrows are hand sorted and graded so that you truly get what you pay for. Great care is taken to ensure that all of our components are matched perfectly with each shaft. While the extra steps we take certainly cost us more than the other guys’ mass production method, the end result is that a dozen of our arrows look the same, weigh the same, and fly the same. If we wouldn’t shoot them ourselves they don’t make it to the store. We make sure you can pull BloodSport arrows out of the box and aim with confidence. Once you shoot our arrows we think you will agree that the extra effort is worth it. At BloodSport, we aren’t trying to be like the other arrow manufacturers, we are working hard to be your arrow company.
