Bow scopes & sights online store and bow recommendations? There’s lots of innovation in 2020 from the folks at Prime, including their new ROTO Cam, which features a rotating module designed for easy and precise draw length and adjustments in ½-inch increments, with nothing more than an Allen wrench. For maximum tuning capability, Prime’s new Easy Tune Shim Kit lets you shift cams right or left during the tuning process. Prime is known for making a rock-solid riser, and it’s been redesigned this year for even more strength. I like that Prime offers its flagship bow in four different lengths (31, 33, 35, and 39 inches axle-to-axle), and I shot a few different versions of the Black. The 5 (35-inches) was the fastest of the models, but I handled it easily, and it pointed and shot very well. Just for kicks, I shot the 9 (39 inches axle-to-axle) and while noticeably slower than its shorter cousins, it was probably the quietest and deadest-in-the-hand bow I shot all day.
Like a few other bows in the list, the Revolt line offers two options for axle-to-axle length. But the big features remain the same. Bowtech releases its Deadlock Cam System with this bow. Using this system, you can move the cams left or right on the axle to position the energy right behind the arrow. Then, you simply lock it in with a screwdriver for permanent accuracy. Options for weight are more limited than most of the other bows with a range of 50-70 pounds. Arrows fly at a max speed of 335 fps. A 26- to 31-inch draw length should fit a lot of adults, and a max weight of 4.4 pounds fits well into the lighter bows on the market this year.
Bear has made a habit of releasing a plethora of models each year that run the gamut of feature sets and price-points, which is a refreshing change of pace in the world of bow-building. The Status EKO is their top dog for 2020 and it’s a looker. It measures 33” in length and has a 6-inch brace height. The EKO Cam system is quick with advertised speeds up to 344 fps. It has four let-off options…75-, 80-, 85- and 90-percent. It weighs in at 4.3 pounds. A cool new feature is the Align Lok leveling system that aids in setting perfect second- and third-axis adjustments of a sight. It retails for $999.

For the past five years or so, crossbow popularity has soared as their inclusion in standard bowhunting seasons have spread across the country. The 2020 Archery Trade Association show seemed to adhere to that trend, with plenty of new crossbow introductions, many of which are showing varied and handier limb configurations (with a corresponding jump in price). Here’s a rundown of this year’s new crossbow offerings.
