Top New Gear for 2019 - Western Whitetail

Top New Gear for 2019

The following is a lineup of great hunting gear for Western Hunters that will be made available in 2019.

Sig Sauer | KILO 3000

With the advent of its BDX system, SIG Sauer has revolutionized the long-distance shooting world, and now users can have multiple capabilities in one do-it-all platform with the launch of the SIG Sauer Kilo3000BDX laser rangefinding binoculars. Equipped with the company’s Applied Ballistics Ultralight calculator, the SIG Sauer Kilo3000BDX laser rangefinding binoculars can be used to scan the field for game or targets. Once a target is found, simply use the built-in rangefinding capabilities to find exact distance to the target. When the binos are paired with a compatible Sierra3BDX optic, the system calculates a shooting solution that appears as a bright holdover point in the optic’s reticle.

Sitka Gear | Fanatic Jacket

The newly redesigned Fanatic Jacket takes the quest for silence to the next level by cutting the audible engagement distance with a deer in half. An enhanced high-loft Berber fleece face silences the new and ultra-quiet GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ with WINDSTOPPER® Technology, which is packaged with PrimaLoft® Silver Hi-Loft Ultra insulation for the coldest days in the stand by providing 20% more warmth than the prior model. A new body-mapped construction is designed to optimize the archery draw cycle for bow string clearance on the left arm along with reduced bulk in the draw arm to keep you quiet and your arrow flight true. The Constant-Connect SITKA® Safety Harness Port simplifies donning and doffing the jacket while secured to a torso- mounted harness tether, eliminating the need to disconnect from your harness when adding or subtracting layers. From top to bottom, the Fanatic Jacket is the whitetail hunter’s perfect tool for capitalizing on late-season conditions.

Mathews | Vertix

The 2019 VERTIX is the peak of versatility and performance. Switchweight modules allow you to change peak draw weight in 5 pound increments. Available in 60, 65, 70 and 75 pound peak weights, each set of mods are programmed for an incredibly smooth draw. The new Engage™ Grip interface was designed to ensure consistent hand placement, reducing torque and increasing accuracy. While more versatile than ever, silence and efficiency remain king, and with 20% less vibration than the TRIAX, the VERTIX delivers an experience that is both unexpected and unforgettable.

Burris | Oracle

The Burris Oracle is undeniably innovative, but it’s based on tried and true technology Burris has developed over the years. The built-in rangefinder measures the exact distance to target, instantly calculates the perfect aim point and shows you the perfect aiming drop point. Extreme angles? The Oracle has a built-in inclinometer to keep your distance accurate. Always. The range button can be placed wherever it’s most comfortable for you. Real hunting happens in tough conditions. And Burris planned for it. The Oracle was designed with no glass lenses. So nothing impacts your vision to the shot.

The Striker V2 is a fixed, replaceable-blade broadhead with a cut-on-contact 100% stainless steel design. Like its predecessor, the Striker V2 features the scary-sharp Lutz blades that produce lethal hits and impressive blood trails. The blade retention system on the Striker V2 features a stronger hold, increasing the reliability of the head, while still keeping blade replacement extremely simple.

Easton Archery | FMJ Taper 64

Arrow penetration is vital when it comes to successful big game hunting, yet without precise shot placement, maximizing penetration alone may not seal the deal. Now, Easton has a new answer for bowhunters with the T64 Full Metal Jacket—the tapered arrows that combine maximum killing power with the highest level of FOC accuracy. The T64 FMJ shaft profile begins at the front with a 6mm diameter that seamlessly tapers down to a micro-diameter 4mm at the nock end. The integrated front-of-center weight distribution adds up to 30% more FOC without adding point weight for the best in exacting long-range accuracy. For lethal big game results, the rear taper creates a reduced-friction path for maximum penetration. Couple these new improvements with FMJ’s track record of field-proven success, and the Easton T64 now sets the new arrow shaft benchmark for bow hunting big game.
