If you love archery, bowhunting and all the complementing gear, the second week of January is just like Christmas 2.0. January 10-12, to be specific, in Louisville, Ky., is when and where it will all go down.
The annual Archery Trade Association (ATA) show is the bowhunting industry’s largest and longest-running trade show worldwide. Every year the event brings together all organizations that contribute to the archery industry. It’s a very exciting time to witness new products being unveiled for the incoming year.
Bowhunting certainly requires bows and arrows, but the list of gear that could make your life easier and more enjoyable is quite extensive. Veteran bowhunter or novice just getting started, the following should pique your interest.
Xtorsion arrows were forged out of the Victory Archery’s pursuit to create an arrow with extreme impact force — something tough enough to hunt even the most dangerous game around the world, yet stay straight shot after shot. By encapsulating layers of 304 stainless steel within high modulus carbon fiber, the engineers created an arrow that fits the bill.
