We are pleased to introduce three new crossbows for 2012. The Carbon Elite XLT combines the wrapped carbon barrel technology we introduced last year with our radically narrow XLT bow assembly. The other two are lighter, faster, and narrower reincarnations of our popular Turbo and workhorse Titan models. All three are potent additions to our lineup. Read about them in the “What’s New” pages.

Also this year, we are launching our “Arrow Ballistics Program”, to expose common misconceptions about crossbow arrow selection and to help you choose the right arrow for the shooting conditions you face and the equipment you use. Briefly summarized in our catalog, we will expand on the program during the year through our website and social media sites.

Part of our effort includes introducing our TenPoint four-arrow collection of lightweight, standard-weight, and heavyweight arrows designed to meet any shooting need you encounter.

We expect this program to teach crossbow shooters about the flight, grouping, and impact characteristics associated with aluminum and carbon arrow shafts, “front-of-center” (FOC) weight distribution, and total arrow weight. Armed also with an understanding of the effect arrow weight has on crossbow durability, recoil, noise level, arrow speed, trajectory, accuracy, and impact energy, you can then select arrows that give you the best chance of success at the shooting range or in the field.

As the year progresses, we will share an extensive array of tests with you using different crossbows and arrow combinations that will help make you the best crossbow hunter in the woods.

Please take the time to check-out our 2012 crossbow lineup. From top to bottom, it is the best collection of premium performance models we have ever assembled.

Sincerely,
