First Look at the Hottest New Bow for 2020

The All-New 2020 PSE NOCK ON EVO NTN 33 Bow Featuring John Dudley

In the span of the 50 years since Pete Shepley began Precision Shooting Equipment, Shepley’s company PSE Archery has been responsible for more breakthrough innovations in modern compound bows and archery equipment than any other single manufacturer in the archery and bowhunting industries.

For 2020, PSE Archery has joined with bowhunter and archer John Dudley of Nock On Archery. John is widely known for his social media following, the #NockOnNation, his podcast, and online videos about archery technique, shooting instruction, bow tuning, and gear selection and setup.

At the ATA Archery Trade Show in January, PSE announced Dudley’s custom design innovations on the new 2020 NOCK ON® EVO® NTN 33. This latest PSE bow is custom-designed by John Dudley in conjunction with PSE’s R&D and manufacturing facility.

Here’s a first look at PSE’S NOCK ON EVO NTN 33 that features John Dudley’s custom innovations.

These advancements include John Dudley’s innovative D.T. Rest Mount that totally cancels movement of the arrow rest when the arrow is launched. It eliminates even the slightest movement of the rest.

Silent Knight Arrow Vanes From Flex-Fletch

Silent Knight is the revolutionary new Arrow Vane from Flex-Fletch Products

As a life-long bow and arrow shooter, and a dedicated whitetail deer and wild turkey bowhunter, I’m always interested in new gear, and particularly in completely new products that will help me shoot better, more accurately, and be more consistent. At the ATA Archery Trade Show in January, my friend Vince Grundman from Flex-Fletch Products showed me a new twist on the popular arrow vane for fletching arrows. It’s called the Silent Knight vane. It is very impressive and it definitely can help us shoot better, more accurately, and be more consistent as bowhunters.

QUIETER:
Whitetail deer hearing is acute to the nth degree. If noise is made, even the faintest sound, deer can hear it. Add to that their fraction of one second reaction time, plus the fact that they are always on alert and one step away from topping 40 mph it’s not puzzling that thousands of bowhunters experience their arrows miss. The new Silent Knight vanes are wholly designed to suffocate the sound of the arrow in flight. Silent Knight vanes use the very newest materials and incorporate unique design features, plus extensive product testing that results in spectacular arrow flight improvement that dramatically reduces misses.

*Independent sound studies prove that the Silent Knight vanes make just half the sound of any other vane, period.

FASTER: 
Remarkably, thanks to the aerodynamic shape of Silent Knight vanes, their thin tapered design and thoroughly smooth surface, arrows fletched with Silent Knight 3-inch vanes are a full 2-fps faster than the same arrows fletched with a 2-inch thermoformed vane!

DESIGNED FOR MORE:
The exclusive precision RIM molding manufacturing process makes Silent Knight vanes 30% thinner and with a much greater taper than the thermoformed vanes. And, the Sliqtra cured memory resin is much smoother (and more slippery) than other vanes. All of this contributes to the dramatic reduction of in-flight drag.

Bowtech Archery Revolt Bow

Introducing The 2020 Bowtech Revolt Bow

The new Revolt bow from the leading contemporary bow engineers at Bowtech Archery was crafted for today’s varied types of bowhunters.

Bowhunters who hunt the West for mule deer, elk, and antelope prefer a bow that is compact enough to carry through the Aspens and Pines and slip through thick brush in the high-country terrain out West.

Accordingly, the Revolt is a short bow with a 30-inch a2a (axle-to-axle) that has a dual cam with a chasm-like 7.25-inch brace height that is perfect for this country — and produces 335 fps IBO.

Also, it fits perfectly inside the popular ground blinds that are in use today all over the U.S.A. And, of course, it’s right at home in a treestand. It’s smooth enough on the draw that it doesn’t lurch away from the shooter’s hand when the cams break over.

But, the big story here is one of the more innovative features on any 2020 bow, Bowtech’s new DeadLock cam tuning and locking system that allows the cam to be adjusted. It slides back and forth on the axle slightly via a simple limb-mounted lock. When it’s tuned perfectly, another set screw is tightened down so the cam position is locked in on the axle and the bow stays tuned.

Introducing Lazyman Hunting Stands

Lazyman Stands are high-quality and affordable

Donny Carmical knows how to build with fiberglass. Years ago he established a business building fiberglass swimming pools, waterproofing for waterfalls and koi ponds. Then, 20 years ago Donny came up with the idea that he could make a great deer stand out of fiberglass.

Originally, it was just a personal mission, however, after building a couple of dozen fiberglass blinds some friends asked him to sell them to the public. So he did. And the rest is history.

Now, 10 years later, and with thousands of his Lazyman Stands in the deer woods all across America, Donny and his family continue to hand-make every all-fiberglass, hunting stand from their manufacturing facility in Cabot, Arkansas.


A buck walks past a LAZY MAN blind that is sitting inside the edge of the treeline.

Pound for pound, dollar for dollar and feature for feature, LAZYMAN is the best hunting blind on the market. Select windows sizes are perfect fits for either bow or gun.

Hunters Help Wildlife Conservation

Hunters are the leading the way for wildlife conservation

Hunters get a lot from nature every season through new memories, insightful lessons, lasting friendships and – occasionally – delicious meat. Therefore, it’s fitting that we do a lot for wildlife through conservation, which we’ve been doing the past century.

Our Conservation History

Today, though, we have about 1 million elk and 34 million whitetails. This amazing turnaround came through legislation and cooperation between hunters, trappers, and anglers in conservation organizations.

American hunters are tied to a proud conservation heritage that began over 100 years ago to protect and manage the nation’s wildlife and waterfowl. That effort ended market hunting, which decimated deer, elk, pronghorn and buffalo herds; as well as bears, turkeys, swans, geese, and other once-vast populations.

By the early 1900s, less than 50,000 elk and 500,000 white-tailed deer remained in our country. Today, though, we have about 1 million elk and 34 million whitetails. This amazing turnaround came through legislation and cooperation between hunters, trappers, and anglers in conservation organizations.
