If you are looking for maximum kinetic energy, coupled with unmatched penetration, then the new VAP TKO is the right arrow choice, according to the experts at Full Curl Archery. With this design, an outer layer of carbon is oriented at 45-degree directions to reduce twisting during launch. The arrows also feature a small diameter shaft for more wind-resistance, allowing a pass-through with every shot.

Bowtech Archery designed it’s 2017 flagship not with one thing in mind, but with everything in mind. As a bowhunter, contributing editor Paul D. Atkins truly loves the new smart technology that BowTech has engineered, and says, “The new Reign 6 and 7 are are ultra-smooth, quiet, powerful and balanced, dominating every category, not just one. These technologies work in unison to create a smarter bow, a bow that works for the shooter, offering the ability to micro-tune every aspect for the ultimate in accuracy and forgiveness. For me here in Alaska and especially here in the Arctic where it isn’t always the easiest, I want a bow that I can adjust when needed and feel comfortable on every shot or animal I’m pursuing.”

Hunt Alaska Contributing Editor Paul Atkins uses Wasp Broadheads in the field, because, in his own words, “I stick with what works. That’s why I use one of the oldest, most heralded brands in the archery industry. Made in America, these sharp out-of-the-package broadheads work on all types of Alaska game, anything from monster moose to caribou they have never let me down.” Atkins recommends three models, all of which he uses in Alaska: Drone, Sharpshooter and Deep Six.
