“new bow”

An August pronghorn archery hunt provides quality time with a youngster—and a chance to tune hunting skills before fall.

Mathews Archery has announced the introduction of its new Bow Builder. The new custom shop allows consumers to choose from six different finishes and a bevy of string, cable and damper color configurations to create a unique bow build.

Here are 2017’s best new compound bows, in no particular order.

Here are a few more new high-tech bows, sights, targets, clothing and accessories from day three of the 2016 ATA Show in Louisville, Ky.

Smooth, fast, accurate and forgiving, the 2016 Halon is Mathews’ hardest-hitting flagship hunting bow to date.

July is prime time to hone your bow-shooting skills and experiment with new equipment. This means 3-D shooting, betting your buddies on shots and seeing if you can hit the bullseye clear across the yard. It’s all good fun and great practice—provided you keep it applicable to bowhunting.

As we count down to opening day 2015, manufacturers are dangling innovative new bows that beckon, super-high-tech arrows for the launch pad and maximum-performance broadheads to seal the deal.

Mathews Archery proprietor Matt McPhearson has never stood idly on past merits. He’s a natural innovator, as seen in his once-revolutionary Solo Cam bows that dominated the hunting market for nearly two decades. His company’s new bow, the No Cam, aims to correct perhaps the Solo Cam’s only flaw—notably a relatively new term created by Mathews competitors called nock travel.

A day spent at the Great American Outdoor Show brings family and friends together to celebrate their lifestyle as hunters and shooters—even in the dead of winter.
