This past weekend the Shreveport Convention Center played host to the annual Hunter’s Expo. It’s the big show that everyone looks forward to around these parts, as it helps to somewhat satisfying the cravings of being back in a deer stand. One of Team Hammerdog’s sponsors, ArrowDynamic Solutions, had a booth there, so my partner Wayne Kendrick came up from Walker, Louisiana, so we could lend a hand. Wayne and I spent our Saturday helping out, and I learned a lot from Matt Futtere. Matt is the man behind ArrowDynamic Solutions – the maker of the Guillotine and The Atom Broadheads. The Guillotine has turned the world of bowhunting upside down with its devastating design. Many shotgunners stay away from targeting turkeys with stick-n-string simply because the vitals offer too small a target, and present to big of an opportunity for error. The Guillotine allows bowhunters to put their pin on the neck of the turkey and either put him down in an instant, or miss him cleanly – very little room for error with the Guillotine’s design. Check out just how devastating the Guillotine is by mashing here (warning: the video is graphic). The Guillotine comes in two sizes for compound bows and crossbows.

ArrowDynamic Solutions also offers The Atom, for big game hunting. The design of The Atom is like nothing else on the market. The Atom eliminates the problems with wind planing and achieving complete pass-throughs associated with fixed-blades, and removes the possibility for mechanical failure associated with mechanical broadheads. The Atom is currently being offered in 75 and 100 grain, with 125 grain to be released later this year or early next year. All you have to do choose your grain, sight in your bow with a field point in matching weight, screw on The Atom and go hunting. The Atom broadheads fly as true as any matched field point, so there’s no need to send one down range into a target. You just have to try them out to believe me. And The Atom is designed so that it punches right through everything – deer, boar, elk, buffalo – nothing will stop The Atom. Matt is particularly proud of the fact that he gets complete pass-throughs on boar – from one shoulder shield through the other. And The Atom is designed to save you money. Each year, bowhunters must buy replacement blades for their broadheads. With The Atom, you can punch through an animal, clean it off, and punch right through another one time and time again – eliminating the need to replace dulled out blades. Matt says the biggest problem his field staffers have is losing their Atom tipped arrows because they blow through an animal and keep right on going.

I encourage you, if you’re a bowhunter, to give The Atom a try this fall. You will not be disappointed. To learn more about The Atom, and the Guillotine go to www.arrowds.com.
