The TS380, from Barnett, combines powerful limbs, high-energy cams, a 12.625-inch power stroke and a 201-pound draw weight to produce 380-fps shots, with 380-grain arrows, and 121.82 ft.-lbs. of kinetic energy. A buttstock with an adjustable length of pull (LOP), and a pass through fore-end make this powerful bow easy to fit to anyone. Further, at just 32-34-inches long, and 13.25-inches wide when cocked, the bow retains a compact and maneuverable profile, perfect for the deer woods.
For safety, an anti-dry fire trigger has been installed, and reminders to keep one's fingers out of the string path abound. Further enhancing the function of the trigger is TriggerTech frictionless release technology, for a lighter pull. Barnett's Soft-Lok Floating Bristle Arrow retainer, meanwhile, holds arrows securely against the aluminum flight track. Simultaneously, three Picatinny rails offer ample options for mounting the 4X32mm multi-reticle scope, and any other desired accessories. Finally, track-mounted string dampeners and an anti-vibration foot stirrup help reduce noise and vibration for a quieter, more accurate shot.
Dressed in a digital-grey wrap, the crossbow package features single-bolt assembly, and includes two 20-inch headhunter bolts, the aforementioned 4X32mm multi-reticle scope, a lightweight side-mount quiver, a rope-cocking device and lubrication wax.
National Hunting and Fishing Day, which is observed on the fourth Saturday of September each year (September 26 this year), is a day we should know one thing about: Hunters are America’s original conservationists.
This year’s standout hunting firearms reveal an industry focused on refining proven ideas. Manufacturers are increasingly embracing features once reserved for premium models and including extras that a few years ago were considered aftermarket additions. Whether you’re chasing game close to home or venturing deep into the backcountry, today’s new hunting guns arrive more capable than ever before.
The Department of the Interior recently announced the largest expansion of hunting and sport fishing opportunities in the history of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Service is also making more than 1,000 modifications to existing regulatory provisions, reducing complexity and making it easier for hunters and anglers to understand and comply with applicable rules.
