Off to the ATA
« on: January 04, 2014, 02:06:52 AM »
Well, it's that time of year again.  Off to the show to try and sell a few new goodies.  We will be showing 11 new broadheads.  Kills me that supply chain issues have us trying to sell even though shipping is not expected until April.  Bound to be a rough go.  But, here are three of the five new Titanium heads for you guys to look at.  I'll share more after I get back.  Gotta run!

There is just something sexy about titanium, isn't there?

HPV100 is 1-3/16" the other two are 1".  Once installed the little screw you see is never removed.  Blades are replaceable without the use of any tools.  Similar to the old Savora without the split ring.

The two other titanium heads 100 & 125 grain are both 1-1/8" and use the traditional Savora split ring.  My personal heads of choice!  Different camera not as nice of pictures.  The 100 grain head has to be held to fully appreciate.  She's pretty sexy!  :chuckle:

Tired and feeling a little loopy, but we are back from the show.  Weather kept attendance low, but those who showed up were serious about getting work done.  We had a very strong showing even with the a poor last minute presentation.  Good thing Del was there to speak in front of the camera about the broadheads as once again it was more than evident I have a face for radio and a voice for silent film ;)  Del is a real master in front of the camera and you should start seeing some spots showing up about the new broadheads.  Always fun to see the internet and Youtube experts no one has ever heard of pushing real on air talents' aside as they try to tell us how many thousands of broadheads they will sell if I just give them money and free broadheads :bash:  Get's comical after a while.

Was a real treat to find ourselves setup only a few booths away from our friends at Eberlestock.  What a bunch of first class folks there!  They have a new freighter/modular system called the "Mainframe" that uses the welded aluminum frame from last years REF pack.  Wish it was available now as I'm pretty excited about it.  Still has the same waste buckle I pester them about changing, but it's going to be a real meat packing winner I think!

Beyond that I don't have much to report.  Our booth was so dang busy this year I was only able to escape a couple times and always got called back before I made a complete round or finished a conversation with my favorite folks.  Didn't even get to sit down with the guys at Bear as they were busier than we were.  Never even found the Sitka booth and I really needed to sit down with them.  So it was a great show for business and not a real good show for my annual Christmas shopping spree :chuckle:

What searching I was able to do left me with a feeling there really isn't anything new this year that a guy couldn't live without.  Lou Grace of G5 was welcoming as always and the 2014 Primal bow line looks fantastic. Though I was unable to shoot any of them as I got called way each time I thought I was going to get a chance.  Duel game calls had some new slate turkey calls that will blow the mind of you serious Tom talkers.  They look so sexy you might not even need to make a noise with them for a tom to fall in love with you!  I did get a chance to shoot the new Xpedition Xcentric!!!  I'm not a big fan of 6" brace height bows, but that bow could really make me think twice about it.  I actually liked shooting it better than the new Bowtech RPM 360 which was another low brace height bow that impressed.  I'll keep my Experience, but for you speed freaks you are going to need to take a trip to your Bowtech dealer and shoot the RPM.  I was worried about the new grip and I shouldn't have - at least for my hand it felt perfect!  I remain on the fence with their carbon riser bows.  I've got the ladies version coming for the old bag-o-dirt so I guess I am warming up to it a little bit! :dunno:

Our peep sight manufacturers family reunion was enjoyable as always.  I remain convinced that G5, Fletchers, Specialty Archery and RAD have the best competitive relationship of any class of archery equipment out there.  They are all such good people and produce such good products it really is a pleasure to be a part of that section of the industry.

And, that is really about it for products that stood out in my few brief escapes away from the booth.  I wish I could have put in more time and given a better report.  But you know how it is...business and customer relations come first.  I will try to give some more in depth reports about the bows, pack and turkey calls I have coming in.  And of course as soon as the packaging is completed I will get detailed about our new Savora broadheads too.
