    Was this really highly demanded by their fans? Unlike camo, a nice black fleece, hat, and gloves can be had pretty cheaply.

    I know there's probably not much to 'review', but is it possible to get more info on the new LaCrosse 4X. They look nice.

    The Quivalizer seems like a good product, although I'm not sure I would want to hunt with such a long stabilizer. Can weights be added to it?

    [h=2]Easton Whitetail Pack[/h]Updated for 2015 the Easton Bowhunter 2000 pack is designed specifically for whitetail bow hunters. 2,000 cubic inches provides plenty of storage space while your side pockets provide storage for water bottles, quivers or other gear you need to keep handy. One of the most innovative features of the Bowhunter 2000 are the compression straps which tuck inside the pack when not in use. No more straps dangling all over the place and getting in your way.

    [h=2]Altra Socks[/h]Socks certainly aren’t the most glamorous piece of apparel in this show but we all know that uncomfortable feet make for an uncomfortable hunt. Made from 100% Alpaca fibers these socks are anti-microbial to resist odor, are very warm, and resist wear better than most wool socks.

    [h=2]Axcel Accutouch[/h]New from Axcel is their line of Accutouch adjustable bow sights. Like most adjustable pin sights the Accutouch features a dial which allows you to move your pin to the exact yardage you wish to shoot. Unlike other sights the Accutouch features an innovative system of knobs (for lack of a better term) which allow you to adjust the sight to your determined distance without looking. Simply adjust your knobs to the distance you want and when your pin hits that knob you’re ready to shoot. A great innovation for those who are worried about not having time to dial their sight to the proper yardage before the shot.
