Every year we see at least one new technology take hold of the bow design market. Some of the trends are passing fads while some have a real value and purpose and thus stick around for many years. This year we areseeing one of those trends that has the potential for real staying power. The most visible trend this year toward limbs that flex beyond parallel when you draw the bow.

Bowhunting BackpacksWith the amazing proliferation of bowhunting gear since, comes increasing need for yet another piece of equipment: the bowhunting backpack. I’ve actually been “packing” for many years now and have gone through many models in search of the perfect pack. I still haven’t found it, though I’ve come close, and I dare say closest during this Field Test. Take a look at what we’ve discovered. — Mike Strandlund |

Elite Archery Z28The Elite Z28 for 2009 is essentially the same bow as the 2008-1/2 model except for the cam system. The earlier model bow used the Revolution Cams while the 2009 model introduces the “Z” Cams. Since this is the first Elite bow that I have had to test, I cannot comment on the differences between the two cam systems except to say that I was told that that the “Z” cams were developed to offer a smoother draw cycle and were intended to be more friendly for bowhunters. |
