SIGHT MASTER SAVES BOW SIGHTS WITH NEW ‘SHOCK MASTER’.
SIGHT
MASTER of Townsend, MT manufactures one of the most popular Bow Sights
on the market today. Their revolutionary ‘One Touch - One Sight’ design
has gained a loyal following every where archers are found. SIGHT MASTER
President Bob Closson saw a problem and designed the SIGHT MASTER Bow Sight
to solve that problem. With the same energy and design sense Bob has once
again solved a problem that every archer is familiar with.
Today’s high performance bow produces more than just fast arrows. They
also produce equipment damaging ‘shock’ that, at the least, rattles accessories,
loosening settings and causing premature wear. At the most this ‘shock’
generates enough force to actually break Sight parts. The new ‘SHOCK MASTER’
solves the problem by absorbing the ‘shock’ instead of the Sight. The ‘SHOCK
MASTER’, available in both Target and Hunter model secures to the sight
holes in the riser. The Bow Sight then secures to the front part of ‘SHOCK
MASTER’. When the arrow is released the ‘shock’ is absorbed by ‘SHOCK MASTER’
rather than the Bow Sight. Other features of ‘SHOCK MASTER’ are the Quick
Release ‘Extension Bar’ and a four point adjustment that ensures consistent
pressure on the ‘Extension Bar’ that eliminates the problem of a loose
‘Extension Bar’ that can result in an inaccurate shot.
Each ‘SHOCK MASTER’ comes with two, Light Weight and two Heavy Weight Springs.
‘SHOCK MASTER’ is protected under US Pat. No 5,517,979. For more information

MASTER, Inc. 1093 Highway 12 East Townsend, MT 59644 406-266-5516.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN SERVES UP INDUSTRY ‘FIRST’ WITH NEW ‘TITANIUM-100’tm BROADHEAD!
Titanium
alloy is over 10 times stronger than the standard aluminum used in Broadhead
ferrules and more than half again lighter than steel. Titanium is the space
age metal that made the space program possible due to its tremendous strength
to weight properties. Now, thanks to BARRIE Archery you can hunt with the
ONLY TITANIUM BROADHEAD manufactured, the new ‘TITANIUM-100’.
Bruce Barrie, VP of BARRIE Archery happily announced the proud moment.
"Titanium is an incredibly strong metal that is amazingly light in
respect to it’s resilient strength. While it is an expensive material it
is perfect for the bowhunter who wants the best. This incredibly strong
head, nicknamed the ‘TI-100’TM features a one piece body, ferrule and cut-on-impact
tip, machined from solid Titanium. This eliminates the screw-on-point making
it the strongest Broadhead ever made. By having a ‘UNICUT’ Body it allows
us to align the cutting edges of the point and blades to create a continuous
cutting edge from tip to blade."
"The blades are vented,.030" thick, stainless steel for strength.
The ‘TI-100’ also features a patented, self-centering ‘Blade Lock’ Collar
System that ensures perfect broadhead and shaft insert alignment."
Barrie continued, "BARRIE Archery has always been a leader in broadhead
design and we feel the new ‘TI-100’ is just another example of superior
design, tough material and quality manufacturing all coming together to
make a better product. We believe the ‘TI-100’ will set the standards of
what a broadhead should be."
The ‘TI-100’ weighs 100 grains and has a cutting dia. of 1 1/8". For

NEW ‘POWER RATCHET’ OFFERS EASIER WAY TO TIE HEAVY LOADS!
Carolina
North, maker of the popular ‘ROPE RATCHET’ has recently announced the newest
model to the line, the ‘POWER RATCHET’.
The ‘POWER RATCHET’ is a super tough Ratchet that is designed to secure
loads up to 800lbs. Unlike the standard webbing type ratchets, ‘POWER RATCHET’
utilizes 20’ of Solid Braided ‘DACRON’R Polyester Rope that, like all ‘ROPE
RATCHETS’ feeds through the unit rather than spooling around a central
cog.
So easy to use, ‘POWER RATCHET’ is hooked in place and manually pulled
tight. To further tighten, the ‘POWER RATCHET’S’ mechanical advantage comes
into play. By pumping the Ratchet handle, the unit automatically tightens
the rope until a desired tie-down tightness is reached. For travel, the
free rope is secured and the handle closed flat.
To release, one simply compresses the Release Bar and opens the Handle.
‘POWER RATCHET’ is available now where ever ‘ROPE RATCHET’ is sold. For
more information on these and other fine products such as ‘GATOR JAWS’
and ‘CORD WIZ’ see your local Carolina North dealer or contact; CAROLINA
NORTH MFG. Co 1496 Plaza South Dr. Kernersville, NC 27284 910-992-0082

SELF-ALIGNING ‘ZERO PEEP’NOW ATTACHES TO CABLE!
FINE-LINE,
Inc of Puyallup, WA revolutionized the archery industry with the introduction
of the first Self-Adjusting Peep sight, the original ‘ZERO’PEEP’. What
the ‘ZERO PEEP’ enabled archers to do was shoot with a light gathering,
reference point that always lined up with the eye at full draw. Sam Topel,
GM, FINE-LINE,Inc. stated "The ‘ZERO PEEP’ was a very popular Peep
Sight but the redesign will make it even more so. What we have done is
eliminate the anchor post and the connection to the limb and now secure
to the cable. Like the ‘STA-BRITE’ and ‘PICK-A-PEEP’, the ‘ZERO PEEP’ will,
by way of our Cable Clip, attach directly to the cable on any compound
bow."
The ‘ZERO PEEP’ features a hooded aperture and deeper, flatter string grooves
to accept 18 strand strings. The new cable clip attaches the tubing directly
to the cable without having to tie the tubing off. For information on the
complete line of Self-Aligning Peep Sights see your local FINE-LINE dealer
or contact; FINE-LINE,Inc 11220 164th St. East Puyallup, WA 98374 206-848-4222

LOC-ON Plays "HIDE
N" SHOOT" With The Game
Every
successful hunter knows the value of camouflage. LOC-ON Co. of Greensboro,
NC, the maker of the famous LOC-ON Treestands, has a better idea. How about
TOTAL CAMOUFLAGE? Total Camouflage as in a blind that is easy to set up
on the ground or around your treestand? LOC-ON's new 'HIDE N' SHOOT' Camo
Blind is a lightweight, 4 piece assembly that is secured to a tree by a
web ratchet. The frame is locked together with simple snap locks and the
fabric is pulled around providing complete wrap around coverage.
For use on the ground the fabric, which is 50' long, hangs loose to the
ground. When used as a treestand blind draw strings at the bottom allow
the user to either let the fabric hang free or draw it snug under the stand
to keep it from blowing in the wind and also to help retain heat.
The 'HIDE N' SHOOT' Blind weighs only 5 lbs with an inside dimension of
27" X 27". For carrying, the unit is nested, the fabric rolled
up and secured with a convenient shoulder strap.
For more information on the complete line of treestands and treestand accessories
from LOC-ON see your local dealer or send $1.00 for a color catalog to:
LOC-ON Co., Inc., 1496 Plaza South Dr., Kernersville, NC 27284. Phone 910-992-0990
