Excalibur’s Micro crossbow line now features the new Assassin 400 TD. The “TD” in the name stands for takedown, and the Quick-Loc Technology system allows the limb assembly to be removed from the stock and then reattach with the push of a button.

Accuracy is maintained, yet the bow can be packed for transport or protection. New High Output Express Limbs send arrows off the rail at up to 400 fps. A Pro-Short frictionless, two-stage trigger and TACT-100 illuminated scope help with accuracy and consistency.

Features include:
• Tact-100 illuminated scope with 30mm rings
• Pro-Shot trigger
• Anti-Dry Fire System
• R.E.D. suppressors
• Sound deadening system
• 4 arrow quiver
• 4 Pro-Flight 16.5ʺ premium arrows
• 4 100-grain field points
• Integrated charger with Fail-Safe strap
• Explore case

The Assassin 400 TD measures 20.5 inches wide when cocked and weighs 7.9 lbs. It has an MSRP of $1,799.99. For more information, visit excaliburcrossbow.com.

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
