Traditions Performance Firearms announced a new blank-powered arrow launcher at SHOT Show earlier this year called the Crackshot XBR.

The popular M18 hunting rifle line dubbed “The People’s Rifle” by Mauser has been released this year in 6.5 PRC to add to the many other common calibers it is made in.

Havalon has partnered up with WASP Archery and has stepped into the game of making broadheads. They have brought their reputation with them which makes me believe that these broadheads will be some of the highest quality and sharpness.

Beretta is working on expanding their A400 Xtreme Plus series with new camo patterns and later this year, a left-handed model as well.

Savage is catering to all of the small caliber fans and varmint hunters out there with the launch of the 110 Prairie Hunter. This rifle is chambered in 224 Valkyrie, which is a wise choice by Savage because this cartridge is known to have less wind drift and drop than any caliber in it’s class while maintaining less recoil than any cartridge that offers similar ballistics. All of this allows the hunter to put more rounds on target.

As mentioned, the R26 is built around the bullpup design. This means that the trigger is in front of the firing mechanism. This allows the crossbow to keep a shorter overall length while maintaining a long power stroke, leading to higher velocities.

As implied by the name, the 110 High Country’s target market is the long range hunting community. This gun is relatively light for it’s capabilities coming in around 8 pounds regardless of caliber chosen. This was accomplished by choosing to use a medium contour barrel and bolt.

The Nitro XRT is a reverse draw crossbow. That means that the cams are at the front of the bow and the riser is in the middle with the limbs closer to the shooter.

After several years of waiting and watching the market, Nosler has seen fit to throw their industry expertise into the lightweight, mountain-hunting rifle arena.
