Make Dad’s Day Extra Special

Dads are often frugal and don’t want to spend money on themselves.  Here is a group of products bound to excite any archery dad.  Most can be ordered online, or pick out your favorite and visit a local sporting goods store.  Happy Father’s Day!

Morrell High Roller-

Every archer needs a foam target to ensure their broadheads impact like target points, and this flashy target has a multitude of dots to increase accuracy.  Aim small, miss small is a common phrase, and the small white circles maximize this principle.  The High Roller is ultra-portable, and some instinctive archers like to pitch it and shoot where it lands.  In elk camp, it also makes a great camp stool. www.morrelltargets.com 

Grim Reaper Whitetail Specials

My West Virginia buck went less than 20 yards after a shoulder hit with this ultra-lethal broadhead with two-inch blades.  Whether you prefer expandable or fixed braodheads, the Grim Reaper brand has a full line for compounds and crossbows to “watch ’em drop.”  www.grimreaperbroadheads.com

Help Dad Get Lucky with Lucky Buck

Does and bucks need minerals at this time of year.  Female deer are nursing young and need all the minerals they can find, while bucks are growing antlers, and the better nourished their bodies, the healthier their racks.  Lucky Buck comes ready to use- just pour it on the ground.  www.Lucky-Buck.com

Bear Alaskan XT

Our Assistant Editor searched the 2025 ATA show for a new bow.  After shooting and examining quite a few, he chose the Bear Alaskan XT.  This mid-price bow launches arrows up to 335 fps and can be ordered as a complete package with rest, stabilizer, quiver, D-loop, and peep sight installed.  This bow is literally ready to hunt out of the box.  www.Beararchery.com 

Pine Ridge Archery- Spin for Success

Swapping field points for broadheads can be frustrating, especially if the broadheads don’t align with the rest of your group.  Today’s carbon arrows are incredibly straight, so that’s usually not the problem.  The culprit is often the insert, which isn’t seated properly and wobbles with the arrow spinning rapidly.  This arrow inspector,  made by Pine Ridge Archery, will show which braodheads are properly aligned and which ones are not.  The device weighs less than a pound, yet provides tons of intelligence about your arrows.  www.Pineridgearchery.com
