New Products from ATA 2020

Each January the Archery Trade Association Show comes around and with it new products. Here are some of the newest offerings for bow hunters.

Halo Optics CL300 Laser Rangefinder

As every archer knows, it’s critical to get quick readings at moderate ranges from 10 to 50 yards on game animals. That’s precisely where the CL300 delivers, giving bowhunters a lightweight, minimalist construction that stows easily in a chest pocket or pack and delivers ranging precision to +/- 1 yard of the target. The 5x magnification is plenty to assess and range shooting lanes, giving hunters supreme confidence when the moment of truth arrives.

When shot distances increase, the CL300 continues to perform, with a maximum ranging distance of 600 yards on a reflective target. The laser rangefinder is backed by a 1-year warranty and is water-resistant, fully capable of standing up to whatever Mother Nature throws at you in the deer woods.

With a diameter of just 0.600” and formed from ultra-stiff, high-mod, lightweight 40T carbon rod, the TORX Spyder is threaded for 5/16” – 24 weights.

Easton 6.5 MATRIX Arrows

Easton unveiled a new lightweight arrow in its 6.5mm product line—the 6.5 MATRIX. This new arrow is an ultra-lightweight model that uses Easton’s Acu-carbon seamless process. What’s more, the Matrix features a new carbon fiber braid visible on the outside of the shaft.
