Backyard Broadheads 4N1 Lite Crossbow Kickstand
Backyard Broadheads, a trusted provider of high-quality crossbow accessories, announces the release of its new multi-function crossbow hangers and bipods — including the 4N1 Lite Hanger/Kickstand ($69.95). The 4N1 Lite is a versatile accessory for Ravin crossbow users, serving as a bipod, hanger, rest, cocking and de-cocking aid and kickstand. Built from durable hot-rolled steel and weighing just 12.6 ounces, it offers convenience and stability without adding bulk. It easily attaches to the Picatinny rail beneath the quiver bracket on Ravin models, including the R9, R10, R10X, R15, R20, R29 and R29X.
Ballista Megabat Reverse Draw Crossbow
The full-size, reverse-draw Megabat Reverse Crossbow from Ballista ($999) features a built-in self-retracting cord tensioner, which makes loading it quick, easy and noiseless. Its reverse-draw limbs and differently shaped cams lengthen the power stroke and increase the force acting on the bolt — producing velocities of up to 450 fps. Thanks to the reverse limbs, the Megabat’s riser is located closer to the shooter, which provides better balance and retention, and the crossbow does not move forward during the shot and does not create additional vibrations. The Megabat package includes a 4x32mm scope and three 355-grain 20-inch bolts. The bow measures 8.6 inches axle to axle cocked and 13.3 inches uncocked. It has a 12.2-inch power stroke.
Cupped Waterfowl Hunting Backpack
Hunters can tote all the gear they need for a long, successful day in the blind with the Cupped Waterfowl Hunting Backpack ($129.99). Constructed with an EVA bottom, the backpack locks out water and protects contents in the field. The spacious design boasts plenty of room for the hunting necessities as well as a variety of pockets to keep gear organized: six outside pockets with MOLLE loops, a shooting glasses pocket and a padded laptop pocket. The Waterfowl Hunting Backpack is finished with a duck tote strap with a heavy-duty carabiner. It’s available in Mossy Oak Bottomland or Realtree Max-7 camo patterns.
Hawke Optics 2-8x36mm XB30 Zoom FFP Crossbow Scope
The new for 2025 XB30 Zoom FFP 2-8x36mm Crossbow Scope from Hawke ($419) delivers the accuracy of an FFP (first focal plane) reticle in a dedicated crossbow scope, providing illuminated central aimpoints for better accuracy in low-light conditions. The XB30 Zoom FFP is built on a 30mm monotube chassis, with ½-MOA low-profile fingertip-adjustable turrets and fixed parallax at 50 yards. It uses Hawke’s System S7 premium optics with 16-layer, fully multicoated lenses for crystal clear vision. The scope has removable zoom throw levers in both standard and XL sizing that work with a fast-focus eyebell. It comes with flip-up lens covers, is nitrogen-purged, shockproof, waterproof and fogproof, and carries Hawke’s lifetime warranty.
Maven CRS.3 4-20x50mm Riflescope
Housed in a robust first focal plane 30mm tube, the CRS.3 4-20x50mm Riflescope from Maven ($700) brings C Series clarity, durability and affordability to an all-purpose hunting scope that fits the bill for mid- to long-range shooting and hunting. Featuring a broad 4-20X magnification range for versatile shooting capabilities, precise dialable elevation and windage turrets for accurate adjustments, it is equipped with an illuminated reticle to ensure visibility in low-light conditions. A side parallax adjustment provides enhanced clarity/fine-tuning of reticle shift. The CRS.3 incorporates two popular RS series reticles: the SHR-W (MOA) and SHR-MIL (MIL), so precise and accurate dialing are just a few clicks away. The CRS.3 4-20x50mm measures 15.4 inches in length and weighs 27.3 ounces.
Mossberg 500 Slugster
For 2025, Mossberg has added three Slugster models (12-gauge, 20-gauge and .410-bore) to the company’s extensive line of field and sporting 500 pump-action shotguns ($518). Key features of the 500 pump-action platform include non-binding twin action bars, dual extractors, positive steel-to-steel lock-up, anti-jam elevator, anodized aluminum receiver and ambidextrous top-mounted safety with red “safety off” indicator. All three 500 Slugster models have adjustable rifle sights, 3-inch chambers with 5+1 total shot capacity, drilled and tapped receiver, classic black synthetic stock and forend, matte blue metal finish and sling swivel studs. The 12- and 20-gauge versions have 24-inch fully rifled barrels with a 1:36 twist rate, and the .410 is equipped with a 20-inch cylinder bore barrel.
Muddy Trifecta 180 Cellular Trail Camera
The recently released Trifecta 180 Cellular Trail Camera from Muddy ($119.99) captures 180-degree photos and videos, combining 180-degree motion detection with three independent PIR sensors. It captures and delivers panoramic-style photos and videos by breaking an area into three distinct zones — providing users with the equivalent of three cameras in a single device. When triggered, the camera responds immediately, rotating and situating the lens in the zone where movement was detected. The resulting 36MP photos, or 1080P videos with audio, are then accessible on any mobile device via the Command Pro app. Its Single-Zone Capture mode takes a single photo or video of the triggered zone only, as most traditional trail cameras do.
Ravin LR Crossbow
The all-new LR Crossbow from Ravin ($2,549.99) was designed for extreme downrange accuracy. Modeled after today’s advanced long-range rifles, its ergonomic design and integrated technology create a forgiving crossbow to deliver that same stability, precision and handling. The LR is Ravin’s most accurate crossbow to date, delivering speeds of 450 fps and 222 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. Its longer profile enhances balance, reducing recoil transfer to the shooter for increased stability. The adjustable turret scope, paired with a full-length scope rail, allows for the addition of precision accessories to optimize long-range performance. Fully assembled and ready to go, the Ravin LR comes with a 1-8x24mm adjustable-turret scope, scope level, three-arrow quiver, draw handle and three premium arrows to elevate the hunting and shooting experience.

Rocky Boots has expanded its renowned Dry-Strike collection with the 6-inch pull-on duck camo offering ($115). Crafted from waterproof full-grain leather and featuring a 2mm neoprene half sock, it features the boot maker’s signature non-marking oil- and slip-resisting Dry-Strike outsole, ensuring exceptional traction and an Ultra Dry Waterproofing System that ensures the highest level of waterproof protection while maintaining breathability.

Savage Arms 110 PPR Big-Game Rifle
The Savage Arms 110 Pro Pursuit Rifle ($2,399) — a partnership with Mike Robinson of Farming the Wild — features the proven 110 action that incorporates a lightweight stainless-steel Cerakote-coated receiver and newly designed fluted bolt body with Blackout Cerakote coating. The 110 PPR comes standard with a 20-inch Proof Research carbon-fiber wrapped stainless-steel barrel and lightweight Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock, and an M-Lok bottom rail on the forend allows for easy accessory attachment. It is also equipped with a one-piece, flush AICS-style magazine frame and trigger guard and three-round AICS-style magazine. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger allows for a personalized trigger pull, ranging from 1.5 to 4 pounds, and an Omniport muzzle brake reduces recoil. The 110 PPR is available in nine popular calibers.
Sitka Alpha Fleece Hoodie
Built to take a beating, the Alpha Fleece Hoodie from Sitka Gear ($179) features double weave stretch StormFleece material that handles rugged environments and wind gusts with ease, while a DWR coating mitigates unexpected moisture during the hunt. The Alpha Fleece Hoodie sports seamless shoulder construction and an intentionally positioned zippered kangaroo pocket to ensure comfort and accessibility while wearing a pack. The low-bulk fitted hood provides coverage without encroaching on field of view. The Alpha Fleece Hoodie is available in Olive Green and Buckskin, and Optifade Subalpine and Optifade Waterfowl Marsh camo patterns.
Winchester Supreme 2-7x32mm Riflescope
The Winchester Supreme 2-7x32mm Riflescope ($144.99) is a dependable optic at a value price, with a one-piece housing machined from tough A6063-T6 aluminum. Its premium lenses transmit the maximum amount of light to the user’s eye through its Winchester WINcoat multicoating. This coating not only reduces harsh glare but carries accurate color while providing a durable scratch resistant coating to exterior lens surfaces. Winchester Supreme riflescopes utilize second focal plane (SFP) reticles, which means the reticle stays the same size throughout the scope’s magnification range, while only the image changes size. This allows for the most precise shot placement at any distance, and the reticle will always have the same appearance. The 2-7x32mm riflescope comes with lens covers and cleaning cloth.
