Arrow components online store from Hunting Giant? There are plenty of new features on the Lawless, including the 4-track cam system that features an integrated yoke system designed to correct cam lean and balance limb tip load for easier tuning. There’s also a new rotating module that makes it a snap to adjust for draw length in ½-inch increments. The redesigned roller guard and string stop work together to ensure arrow clearance and decreased noise, and the improved grip was made to ensure comfort and reduce torque. I’ll confess that shooting a bow with a brace height just over 5 inches always scared me a bit, as I expected a harsh rollover and a short valley. But the Lawless was a pleasant surprise. At 356 IBO, this is one of those exceptions to the slow-down trend, although our testing has shown in the past the Obsessions IBO rating should be taken with a grain of salt. For now, we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I shot more arrows than I originally intended, which to me is proof the Lawless is a comfortable and pleasant shooter for such a fast-rated bow.
Like a few other bows in the list, the Revolt line offers two options for axle-to-axle length. But the big features remain the same. Bowtech releases its Deadlock Cam System with this bow. Using this system, you can move the cams left or right on the axle to position the energy right behind the arrow. Then, you simply lock it in with a screwdriver for permanent accuracy. Options for weight are more limited than most of the other bows with a range of 50-70 pounds. Arrows fly at a max speed of 335 fps. A 26- to 31-inch draw length should fit a lot of adults, and a max weight of 4.4 pounds fits well into the lighter bows on the market this year.
It seems to be the year of the tune. Like Bowtech, Elite’s newest model boasts built-in tuning that’s unique from anything previously available. The KURE features Elite’s new Simplified Exact Tuning (SET) system which allows for micro-adjusting of the limb pockets to the cams for precise string alignment and arrow flight. The bow also utilizes Elite’s new ASYM Tri-Track Cams with Versa Mod System that allows the user to adjust draw length, cable stops and limb stops. The KURE weighs in at 4.6 pounds, measures 31 inches in length and sells for about $1,100.

We’ve seen no shortage of innovation in crossbow design over the past few years. This year’s innovation nod goes to Barnett. Their Hyperflite EVO 420 applies an interesting new design in which the cams are mounted directly to the bow’s riser instead of the limbs. It not only makes for a striking profile, but Barnett also claims the system improves accuracy while reducing vibration, noise, cam lean, and torque. I had the chance to shoot this at the range a few times and, while it’s far from a thorough evaluation, it did feel solid and relatively free of vibration. The Hyper-Flite Track minimizes arrow contact along the rail—something that, in theory, should greatly enhance accuracy and consistency. The EVO 420 is named for its speed—Barnett claims it will fire its 22-inch, small-diameter HyperFlite arrows at 420 fps. This is not a dainty crossbow, though, and all that accuracy added some heft to it: The bare bow weighs in at 11 pounds. It’s sold as a package that includes a cocking device and a TriggerTech trigger. The MSRP is about $1,600.
