TenPoint has introduced a safe and easy way to cock and de-dock its new Vapor RS470 crossbow. The new ACUslide features the Auto-Brake-Gear-System allowing for silent cocking and safe and controlled de-cocking, with minimal effort.

As the name implies, the reverse system limbs create an elongated power stroke, generating arrow speeds up to 470 fps. When cocked, the limbs are 6.5 inches wide. A new rail system allows the arrow to launch with less friction and contact. A custom-grade two-stage trigger allows for greater accuracy and consistency.

The Vapor RS470 ships fully assembled and includes the following:
• Optics: EVO-X Marksman Scope mounted on a machined aluminum ⅞-inch Fixed Dovetail Mount
• Bubble Level
• Cocking Device: ACUslide Cocking and De-Cocking System
• Quiver: 6-Arrow Tech Quiver
• Arrows: Six Lighted Evo-X CenterPunch premium carbon arrows with 100-grain practice points; Six Evo-X CenterPunch premium carbon arrows with 100-grain practice points
• Broadheads: 3 EVO-X CenterPunch Broadheads
• Noise Dampening: Integrated String Stop System
• Hard Case: TenPoint STAG hard crossbow case
• Sling: TenPoint Neoprene Sling

The Vapor RS470 has an MSRP of $2,949.99-$3,0499. For more information, visit tenpointcrossbows.com.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
