Here’s a quick look at some stellar bow gear ready to make your 2022 one to remember.
Trophy Ridge 2022 Accessories. Among the many new-for-2022 accessories from this archery specialist is the great-looking Stacked 5-Pin Sight ($159.99, above), a horizontal 5-pin design that features both 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments, an all-aluminum housing, as well as a vertical center sight wire to help align pins. The Stacked sight is the first Trophy Ridge sight to feature both micro-adjustable .019 and .010 pins in the same sight. The top two pins are .019 and the bottom three are .010 for long-range precision. This new 5-pin sight comes available as right hand only.
Among the 2022 Trophy Ridge quivers is the new Lite 1 Pro ($74.99, above), a lightweight, compact, and highly functional five-arrow design with a fresh look. The design makes the quiver easily accessible when in the field while remaining versatile and unobtrusive.
Mathews 2022 Accessories. Built to be custom-fit to its ground-breaking new-for-2022 flagship hunting compound, the V3X that HuntStand helped introduce back in November, Mathews has broken some new ground with cutting-edge accessories all bowhunters need to see. Mathews partnered with Axcel to create the BL Fixed 5-pin Sight ($349.99, image above) that uses its dovetail mount to fit right through the unique V3X riser, with no external mounting bracket required. The unique sight allows archers to micro-adjust elevation, windage and each individual .019-inch pin with the highest level of precision. The sight allows for simple 1st, 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments and features an ultra-high modulus carbon bar designed for an exact fit, minimizing weight and vibration.
Available in a Fixed 6-arrow ($199.99, shown above in Subalpine) or Detachable 5-arrow configuration ($249.99), Mathews’ new LowPro Quiver series is also engineered around the geometry of the new V3X compound, and offers a tighter fit than ever before. When paired with Mathews Genuine QAD Integrate MX Rest and a Bridge-Lock compatible sight, the LowPro Quivers move arrows over 56 percent closer to the riser, further enhancing balance and minimizing vibration.
HHA Sports 2022 Tetra Series Lineup. All the famous adjustability and accuracy, now faster and easier to set up. The 2022 Tetra Series’ Infinite Adjust Plate allows you to make elevation and 2nd axis adjustments independent of each other, something customers and pro shops have been asking for. This helps simplify the setup and sight-in process, getting you on the target faster and more accurately than ever. The made-in-the-USA Tetra features 2.1-inches of vertical travel, and like the Tetra sights before, is available as a fixed frame or dovetail bar, allowing you to pick the perfect sight for your bow and shooting needs. You can choose between a single or 4-pin option, each with a vibrant green sight ring with an integrated bubble level. The sights come in either .010 or .019 fiber sizes, and a variety of housing diameters to fit your exact specifications. All 2022 Tetra and Tetra Max dovetail models are compatible with the new Mathews Bridge Lock Technology, and Hoyt-specific sights for their In-Line Picatinny Sight Mount System are offered as well. Patented R.D.S. Sight Tape Technology offers individual yardage marks from 20 to 100 yards.

The Element Hoodie is available as a pullover ($49.99) or a full-zip hoodie ($59.99). Its cotton/polyester blend and plush fleece interior lining make it suitable for all-day comfort in cool weather around the house, camp, or in the field.

Ready to help you go in deep on your next hunting adventure, the lightweight and compact Rival Micro hang-on ($249.99) features aluminum construction and a minimalized 20.5 x 17.5-inch platform with flip-up, nylon-web seat. The assembly folds flat for easy, unobtrusive transport and the simple design and low weight (10.1 pounds) make it easy to install with the included ratchet tree straps. Includes a full-body safety harness.
Trophy Ridge Sling Pak Trimmer Kit. Assembled with hardcore bowhunters in mind, this handy kit comes complete with hand saw, pruners, and loppers that were strategically designed for the many tasks bowhunters face regularly. Whether it’s clearing a shooting lane or cutting a trail to a new stand or blind, expect best-in-class performance and durability. The ratcheting loppers feature telescoping handles that extend from 28 inches to a maximum 35 1⁄2 inches. When ratcheting, the loppers offer 2- to 2 1⁄4-inch cuts, and a 1- to 1 1⁄4-inch single cut.
