Small Package, Big Power Ravin is billing its new R26 as the world’s most accurate, powerful and compact crossbow. Despite its small size — 26 inches long and 5 ¾ inches wide when cocked — the R26 generates bolt speeds of 400-plus fps and can shoot three-inch groups at 100 yards. The Trac Trigger Firing System allows the string and bolt to float above the rail for a quieter shot and vastly improved string life, while the Versa Draw Cocking System offers easy cocking and uncocking with just 12 pounds of effort. Finished in Predator Dusk camo, the R26 weighs 6.5 pounds, measures 9 ¼ inches wide uncocked and features a new bullpup stock design with auto-engaging safety and anti-dry fire mechanism. The R26 comes fully assembled and pre-tuned with…

The Same — Only Better The new Rage Hypodermic NC (No Collar) delivers a lethal dose of metal medicine in a simple yet sophisticated design. The revolutionary broadhead utilizes a meticulous, cutting-edge design of finger-like tabs located on the blades’ Slip Cams to “pin” the blades in place while in the closed position, thus eliminating the need for a Shock Collar or O-ring. Upon impact, the .035-inch-thick, stainless-steel blades deploy to provide the devastating 2-inch cutting diameter hunters have come to expect from Rage. With a swept-back blade angle and needle-like, stainless-steel ferrule, this deep-penetrating broad-head forges massive wound channels.

Create Your Own Cover Big whitetails love the thickest, gnarliest stuff they can find. Whitetail Institute’s new CONCEAL is designed to help hunters create some of that thick cover wherever they need it. An annual planting that produces thick, heavy vegetation that can grow up to eight feet tall, CONCEAL can be used for any number of strategic applications — shielding a food plot from visibility, creating cover around a ground blind, providing deer with travel corridors, etc. CONCEAL contains four different types of seed, each with a different maximum height, to create thick, top-to-bottom coverage. A seven-pound bag will plant a quarter of an acre.

How Fast Should Feel Lots of bows are fast, but Bowtech’s all-new Realm SR6 is a burner built for discriminating archers who also want shootability. The SR stands for Speed Redefined, and Bowtech says you won’t believe a bow this fast — 352 fps IBO — can draw this smoothly until you pick one up for yourself.

Other highlights include: PowerShift Technology that lets shooters quickly change between Performance and Comfort modes simply by flipping a disc on the cams; rotating modules to easily adjust draw length without a bow press; and a CP Dual Lock design that locks the limbs to the pockets and…

Integrating Rest and Bow QAD is a leader when it comes to full-containment, drop-away arrow rests, and for 2019, QAD is solidifying that position through a new partnership with Mathews. QAD’s all-new UltraRest Integrate MX changes the interface between rest and bow via a patent-pending dovetail mount on the back of the riser. Designed to work with the new Mathews Vertix bow, this mounting system is inherently more secure and accurate than a traditional setscrew. Once mounted, the UltraRest Integrate MX is automatically leveled for quicker setup and faster tuning. The new hookup also allowed QAD to make the machined aluminum Integrate MX its sleekest, lightest rest to date.
