Archery Equipment – Tru-Fire Releases

Tru-Fire is the world’s largest release manufacture for a number of reasons. All Tru-Fire releases are 100% American made all the way to the wrist strap. All releases feature a lifetime warranty and many useful features. For 2009 Tru-Fire kept their great tradition rolling with the Edge releases.

The new Edge release is designed with smaller than a dime sized trigger head on it. Although the Edge smaller it still has all the functionality and great features that all Tru-Fire releases are equipped with. The Edge release line utilizes a linear motion bearing which delivers an extremely smooth trigger feel. Just pull the trigger back to open the jaws, and let up on the trigger to close the jaws. For length adjustment on the Edge, just a simple lockdown set screw. Once you have the correct length just simply tighten the set screw and the length will be locked in place. The Edge release line has many different options, foldback  triggers or standard,  nylon or leather straps that boast great camo patters, and even a pink camo for the ladies. Next time you’re in the market for a new release aid, make sure that you give the Tru-Fire Edge a try; you’ll really like the smooth feel and great features on this release.

Tru-Fire has been making great releases for a number of years. Some other releases to check out from Tru-Fire are, Hurricane series releases, 3D Hunter hand held releases,  Bulldog and 360 series releases. Remember all of Tru-Fire products are 100% American made.

Bear Archery 2009 Lineup

Here is the 2009 lineup of Bear Archery Compound Bows

Truth 2 – “No single characteristic defines this bow’s performance. The TRUTH 2 is a total system advancement,” say the engineers at Bear. “You won’t know how good this bow feels for yourself until you get your hands on one,” says Will Primos of Primos Hunting Calls. We set out to change a few things. After months of focus and collaboration, we changed everything. The result: The TRUTH 2 raises the bar again for performance that is well above price.

Done Deal – It’s a DONE DEAL for speed, power and feel. Outside of The TRUTH 2, this bow benefits the most from the collaboration of the Bear and Primos engineering and hunting teams. It’s feature-packed and is sure to become known as one of the world’s most intriguing archery weapons. Shoot one to truly understand how smooth it is. Developed in the finest tradition of Bear Archery — performance that far exceeds price. It’s about the hunt…your hunt.

Game Over – It’s GAME OVER when you are looking for one of the most forgiving bows. And the game is over when you compare this bow — feature for feature — to any comparably priced bow on the market. This bow features many enhancements developed for The TRUTH 2 and DONE DEAL. The GAME OVER takes “performance above price” to a new level.

Lights Out – LIGHTS OUT is the most maneuverable bow in the Bear line — with the shortest axle-to-axle measurement and lightest weight. Yet, an 8.75in. brace height allows this bow to retains a high degree of forgiveness. It’s every bit a Bear bow. Try one; you will be surprised at the level of performance in this modestly priced piece of shooting equipment.

Show Down – Built on the success of Bear’s “Element” bow design, SHOWDOWN brings performance and feel that rival bows costing much more. A field-proven cam system allows speeds of 290 fps IBO. The parallel limbs with pivoting limb cups create a smooth-shooting, high-performing value that would make Fred Bear proud.

Young Gun – The YOUNG GUN is the closest you can get to “Dad’s bow.” Developed in collaboration with Team Primos®, it has all the bones of the TRUTH 2 to give your “young gun” every advantage to learn the traditions of hunting and the most subtle tactics of shooting. Like The TRUTH 2, it’s a smooth performer – with cast machined aluminum riser, compression-molded limbs, pivoting aluminum cast limb cups, dual-arc string suppressors, even axel-mounted vibration dampeners. But, most important, this bow’s cam (unique to Bear) offers 14 draw length positions to grow with your young archer.

Mission Archery – Eliminator Review

If there is such a thing as the best bow for a person’s money, then the Mission Archery Eliminator would be a top contender for the title.  At just under $500, the Eliminator is a value priced bow packed full of high end features. 

At first glance the archer sees the parallel limbs and thinks quiet, shock free shooting.  The perimeter weighted cam is perfectly balanced to further smooth out the shot.  The cam working along with the limbs can propel an arrow toward the target at an impressive 319 FPS IBO.  Each Eliminator also comes with string cushions and the all new D-amplifier system.  This whisper quiet bow was also designed with the bow hunter in mind.  It is just 30.25 ATA and weighs in at just over 4 pounds making it compact and a dream to carry on any hunt.  The Eliminator was also designed to be versatile enough to fit archers of almost any size.  Its draw length can be adjusted from 24 to 30 inches and peak draw weights of 40 all the way to 70 are available.

Mission archery also produces top notch accessories that are designed to match this bow perfectly and has several pre- assembled packages available.  They feature a sight, rest, quiver, stabilizer, and a wrist sling. Prices of these packages range anywhere from $90 up to $250 and the technology of the accessories increase along with the price.

Whether you are a beginning archer or a seasoned veteran, the Mission Eliminator is a bow that delivers performance even the most demanding archer would be proud of.
