ATA show

[mfllood3800]

Surprised there isn't a thread on the ATA show some where or am I just missing it ?

 

[Mtnboy]

Was thinking the same.

I like the looks of the new Victory Xtorsion arrows. I'll be slinging those down range as soon as I can get my hands on some, which is hopefully sooner than later.

Well hopefully there will be a shot show thread.

 

[Dunndm]

I haven't seen one either... let's start it! Haha

I'm looking at all the new broad heads and trying to figure out the new bow releases?

Been on YouTube watching the videos. Killzone has a rad new broad head out there. It is Mech, which I am undecided about. I have owned them, hunted them, and hit animals with so I am not basing my info off what "others" aid. Just feel the jury is still out for me on using them. With that said the New Killzone mech looks to be a hybrid of hybrids.

Some other vids of stuff that just doesn't tickle my feet. Saw a range finder sight- looked cool, but also looked heavy.
I am still watching in between arguing with Dotman on generators
lol
JK dude.
I have always respected your opinion.

More to come hopefully on the ATA show.

Garmin has a laser RF sight as well.
Angle compensator, led pin in red or green.
LED read out of yards.
If you have a garmin hand held of fenix type watch, it will pair with that and waypoint where the arrow hit and start the tracking location- pretty cool stuff.

Eventually you can bow hunt from your living room.

I think most new tech is cool, I wont support all of it. But hi tech is often cool in itself. That Garmin sight is pretty hi tech

Haha when asked what the garmin weighed the rep said he wasn't sure- what ever. That means it is heavy. It was set up on just a piece of a riser to probably hide the heaviness. Still cool, but who comes to a show with out knowing the specs that are critical to your products field of use?
yea- no one.

$800 and $1000 sights wow
He said they weigh about the same as a traditional larger single pin type sight.

14oz is what I've heard for the sight

I went to see all the hunting personalities.

Chris Brackett was there but got in trouble. Apparently he was at a couple different booths, but only paid for one...

I ran into him and asked for his autograph, but turned him away when he said it'd cost me 2 bucks.

boring year except for the Garmen. Coverage except instagram and Facebook has been horrible.

 

[mfllood3800]

It is cool, it has 4 pins if the RF portion goes down.
You sight in by telling it how far off you were at 20. Then shoot your way out to say 80, and it adjusts the internal pin based on your arrow speed.
Pretty sure this will never be Idaho legal.
lol

14 0z isn't too bad.
I think my BG accent is 9-10 oz.

But holy heck $1k for a sight.

Onca gear- Europes # 1 hunt line of clothing (said the Onca pretty rep).
Cost about in line wih all other high end stuff.
Claimed to have rain gear that pulled sweat off and away.

Camo pattern looked good, kind of like a FL/Sitka pattern.

Seriously ?

Yeti is making lawn chairs for the yeti lifestyle. Not to much going on bowhunting.com has good quick videos of the new products.

PSE

Ive been a PSE guy since 1983.
They have categorized their bows in application
Target, adaptability( beginner), Vapor (speed), comfort (evolve).
Their speed bow for this year is the Expedite $1099 , at 350 fps. with mods to the let off yielding another 10 FPS getting you to 360.
Guess I will stick with my Full Throttle for another year (372). Why?
It allows me to have 28.5 dl, shoot 500 gr arrow, and still be at 300 FPS.

Carbon Stealth $1499 longer, user friendly full customizable

I just cant buy a new bow each year.
My Old PSE is now 5 years old.
That's old in todays terms.

lol

 

[mfllood3800]

Cams on bows are huge this year

Ghost trail cams from Hawk.
Super small, programmed from smart phone
Reason for size? No longer for game, but theft.
Sad we have hunters now a days that are thieves so much so, cameras are designed to be hunter proof rather than game proof.

Another game camera accessory designed for theft protection
