With the placement of the magnets in relationship to the pivot point of the trigger, our team has created a true ZERO Creep™ Trigger which will always give you reliable sear engagement, eliminating misfires. Available in anodized aluminum and composite. Thwack. That’s the sound of a meticulous kill shot. Thanks. That’s what Dad will say when he sees you back at camp.
Bloodsport
Has Dad been very, very good? Then toss in some broadheads with his new trigger release. It’s the most monumental development in broadhead technology since the original Gravedigger. The new Gravedigger Extreme Hybrid Mechanical broadhead delivers even more devastating results. With hardened stainless steel blades that create a deadly 2¼” cutting diameter, this blade penetrates the hide and then deploys inside for maximum blood loss.
