NEW NOTEWORTHY GEAR Product Profile TruGlo Scads of new for 2012 innovation includes T o Paul LaRocco it was a combination akin to peanut butter and several quivers sights stabilizers and more jelly when he envisioned an archery sight constructed with fi ber optic pins and thankful archery and fi rearm owners from around the globe have been reaping the benefi ts ever since It was back in 1983 when Paul LaRocco and his daughter Loraine started TruGlo Paul realized the potential impact fi ber optics could have on the shooting community and the decision to form TruGlo was quickly made said Jeff McNail vice president of product development Early on Pauls brainchild was focused solely on archery sights but with a strong passion for hunting and other shooting sports it didnt take much more imagination to realize the impact fi ber optics could have on shotguns for sporting clays and hunting Unlike our early days today we have a full line of accessories including archery quivers stabilizers string silencers and peep sights We also have our string company TruGlo FirstString In fact we sell just about everything you need to outfi t a bow except the bow itself McNail chuckled New For 2012 TSX Pro Series One of TruGlos most successful products had been the Tru Site Xtreme TSX line of sights For 2012 TruGlo is launching a new Pro Series to the lineup The TSX Pro Series will be an enhancement to the whole TSX line The TSX line has been such a strong product for us that we looked for ways to make it even better We refi ned the TSX by adding key features such as tubed pins an inner sight window diameter of two full inches and a longer enhanced mounting bracket McNail explained The micro adjust model also has an ultra fi ne windage and elevation adjustment In all three different families of models will make up the TSX Pro Series for 2012 and will consist of the micro adjust tool less and standard models Tru Tec Three Arrow Quiver One of TruGlos hottest new products for 2011 was the Tru Tec Quiver a step up from quivers offered by TruGlo in the past The Tru Tecs popularity was mainly based on its key features which included an all machined aluminum spined fi ve arrow quiver with a patented positive quick disconnect New for 2012 will be a three arrow version of the Tru Tec McNail said Based on our previous performance with three arrow quivers we dont expect quite as much enthusiasm for the smaller version but the market likes options and there is certainly a segment of archers that prefer the three arrow option TRUGLO Carbon XS Quiver Carbon XS Quiver One of TruGlos most popular bowsights has been the Carbon XS Given the success and tremendous positive feedback surrounding the Carbon XS we decided to take the same carbon molding concept and apply it to a matching quiver The result is the Carbon XS Quiver This quiver is a nice compact fi ve arrow design and hits a great price point for the market The Carbon XS Quiver has TruGlos popular quick disconnect and following the markets trend of quivers being as much inline with the sight as possible weve developed a new mounting bracket that allows the Carbon XS Quiver to sit back from the sight mount and in towards the bow for better balance overall balance McNail said Tru Tec QD Stabilizer Working along the lines of grouping components and design features Tru Glo has launched the Tru Tec QD Stabilizer for 2012 The Tru Tec Stabilizer starts with a patent pending quick disconnect that requires a mere quarter turn to lock or detach The Tru Tec QD features a combination carboncomposite main rod and measures 78 inches in length while tipping the scales at slightly less than fi ve ounces The molded front end of the stabilizer handles the vibration dampening in addition to the carbon composite center rod Jeff enthusiastically detailed Trident Red Dot Sight Love em or hate em theres no denying the growing popularity of crossbows Recognizing this trend TruGlo has upped the ante with the expansion of its optics designed specifi cally for horizontal bows Our 2012 Trident uses a three dot reticle with a decreasing diameter reticle to keep the visual aspect constant at any distance McNail touted The Trident is available in a three color model and features red blue or green reticles Beyond color the Trident is breaking barriers thanks to its low profi le design and uses a pressure switch to activate It seems like one of the things people do with illuminated optics is leave them on With our new pressure switch the battery life of the Trident is greatly improved The Trident easily mounts to any picatinny rail or Weaver mount and is a great addition to our line McNail said With TruGlo you can truly get a custom experience with most any of its products This year we have really expanded our existing options to offer a variety of camo choices Beyond our basic black option for 2012 TruGlo will offer models in APG AP Lost and on some models Lost AP and Mossy Oak Infi nity McNail concluded The aforementioned is simply the short list of new and exciting products TruGlo will be offering for 2012 but rest assured with the knowledge that the others are every bit as exciting and are worth the time to check out Contact 972 774 0300 Dealers Only www truglo com JANUARY FEBRUARY 2012 archeryBUSINESS EXCLUSIVE ONLINE CONTENT TRUGLO Tru Site Xtreme TRUGLO Tru Tec QD
