Outdoor Store Adds New Crossbow To Their Inventory

Roy Wingate with Outdoor Store has announced the addition of a new product. Wingate states that a new crossbow has been added to their online store. Wingate says, "This crossbow package is a design from the experts at TenPoint, and it is definitely something that you will want to add to your arsenal."

Wingate says the crossbow, which can be viewed at https://outdoorstore.tv/products/tenpoint-shadow-nxt-crossbow-package-with-pro-view-2-scope, gives hunters performance like no other. The Shadow NXT Crossbow Package features ACUdraw and an easy to handle design that measures less than 7 inches from axle to axle when cocked. Wingate says that it sends arrows off at 380fps with 119 ft. lbs. of energy on impact. He states that it is the perfect crossbow for big game hunting.

"If you like hunting with a crossbow as opposed to a rifle or other weapon," says Wingate. "Then this is definitely the one that you want. The power behind this is phenomenal and you are sure to bring down any big game no matter what it is, provided you can hit your target."

Outdoor Store provides a wide range of consumer products. The crossbow is the newest in their line of similar products and the company states that they are regularly adding new items to their online inventory, as well.

Wingate says that the new Shadow NXT Crossbow Package in their inventory is constructed with high tolerances with a CNC machined Type II cam, riser and limb pockets. The design and tight tolerances allow it to create optimal downward string pressure on each shot, as well. This helps to reduce string friction and allows for better performance because it helps the string to last up to 75 percent longer than other strings.

Wingate says that it will arrive after ordering with the scope mounted on the dovetail mount and a factory bore sighted so users get accuracy right out of the box. The package includes the 3X Pro View 2 scope, a 3 arrow instant detach quiver, 3 Pro Elite carbon arrows, integrated sound dampening system and an open sled cocking device. In addition, Wingate says that the bow features a safety packed design with a CNC machined 3.5 pound trigger that features an auto engaging safety and dry fire inhibitor.

National studies conducted in the early 1990s suggested that there was a significant decrease in the number of hunters and game agencies decided to figure out a new way to retain their aging demographic. Crossbow inclusion into legal hunting was the step that was taken and it has been a significant one.

Ohio actually began allowing crossbows during archery season in 1976. In 2015, there were more than 80,000 deer harvested in Ohio by bowhunters. This is nearly 50 percent of all the hunting harvest done that year. The state reported that just 10 years before that, gun hunters accounted for more than 75 percent of all deer harvest. The increase in bow hunting has been quite significant in the state of Ohio and in other states around the nation. This shows that many hunters have become more accustomed to or actually prefer bow hunting to gun hunting and crossbows are a major preference for those who prefer archery to rifles.

In the early 1980s, 33 percent of gun hunters in Ohio hunted during the archery season. Today, there are nearly 80 percent of the gun hunters in the state that are also hunting during archery season. This shift from gun hunting to bow hunting shows a change in the preferences of those hunters. Today, 25 states allow crossbows to be used during their regular deer archery hunting seasons. Eleven states now allow those crossbows to be used during gun hunting seasons and six states allow for hunters with physical challenges to use crossbows during all hunting seasons. Oregon is so far the only state in the nation that has continued their outright ban of using crossbows during any hunting season.

Wingate says that as crossbow hunting continues to increase in popularity, more and more people will be buying them. He states that hunters who choose to use a crossbow during archery season will want one that is dependable and heavy duty for that bigger game. He states that the new Shadow NXT Crossbow Package has the power needed for deer hunting or for other big game.
