Arcus Hunting product review with Lucas Mashtare –

Arcus Hunting, LLC is an acquisition and organic growth platform seeking to build a strong portfolio of leading brands in the bowhunting and archery consumables and accessories category. Under its brands – Tink’s®, Dead Down Wind®, Obsession Bows, Ramcat® Broadheads and Trophy Taker® – Arcus markets and manufactures a range of leading deer lures, attractants, scent control products, and premium bows.

Dead Down Wind –

Dead Down Wind’s focus has always been to produce the safest, most effective products possible by using science as our foundation. We are driven to develop products capable of eliminating the toughest and widest range of odors. Contrary to what a competitor may claim, there isn’t a single product that is effective on EVERY type of odor. From the beginning, Dead Down Wind has led the way, using real science and developing specific products to control the odors that matter.

Scent prevention is a process and a routine. Hunters plan and strategize each and every season on how to go undetected for that opportunity of a lifetime. The goal being to reduce your odor signatures to the lowest possible level.

Dead Down Wind uses enzymes – a natural catalyst for change. They break down odors at a molecular level, a process we call Enzyme ScentPrevent® or ESP. The use of enzymes allows Dead Down Wind products to eliminate a wider range of odors. We call this technology 3D+ Broad Spectrum. While some might have you believe the only thing you need to concern yourself with is bacteria related to perspiration, that is simply not the case. Hunters carry many foreign odors to the field that can alert whitetail or other big game animals. The science behind a big game animal’s nose will tell you it’s looking for any telltale odor that might give them an idea of who or what is in the area. That’s why we specifically formulate a broad range of odor control, not just one type of bacteria.

Dead Down Wind does not offer cover scent. Scent prevention is a discipline and process that requires a complete system that focuses on our three-phase system – Laundry, Hygiene and Field – which actively work together to kill bacteria, not just covering odor but annihilating right at the source.

Tink’s –

Established in 1972, Tink’s® has been the number one brand, and number one performing line in deer scents and lures. Trusted by generations of hunters for nearly 50 years, Tink’s® lures meet the needs of every phase of the hunt along with a broad variety of dispenser options. Tink’s® natural whitetail lures are certified CWD-free, extensively tested for effectiveness, and simple to use. Whether you’re hunting trophy whitetails, black bears, big bull elk, monster moose, pigs or predators, we have a product to help you succeed. Proven Innovation. Proven Results.

Obsession Bows –

Obsession crashed the established bow industry party with designs by engineers obsessed with perfection for those who refuse to settle for yesterday’s technology. Hunters, competitors, and enthusiasts of every caliber have something to gain from an Obsession, from bragging rights in camp, a spot on the medal stand, or winning the backyard bet.

Based in a one-stoplight town in the state of Georgia, our small-town values center on family, friends, and a never-ending commitment to building the very best products for every caliber of archer. We understand bows are a significant investment for our customers and we value the trust you place in us when you purchase an Obsession. Our drive to excel, to “Change Or Get Left Behind,” enables us to continue to defy expectations and be the technological leader of the industry.

Ramcat –

The Ramcat is a wickedly accurate, absolutely devastating broadhead. Much more than a cut-on-contact or chisel-tip broadhead, the tip of every Ramcat is a purpose-driven, technically superior design with a multi-faceted focus:

Concave scoops create an airfoil that eliminate wind planing and forces air to slip over the ferrule and arrow shaft for best-in-class accuracy and impact energy.

On impact, the airfoil creates an outward force on flesh, pushing it away from the shaft for exceptional penetration and a massive wound channel. This performance is achieved with any recurve, compound or crossbow, at any speed. Today’s lineup of Ramcat broadheads are the most advanced, best performing, best value for bowhunters. Hits Like A Ram, Cuts Like A Cat!

Trophy Taker –

For twenty years Trophy Taker has built a reputation for easy-to-install and silent arrow rests that are tough enough for hardcore hunters, with the reliability that sends competitive archers to the medal stand. A never-ending commitment to excellence is the driving force behind Trophy Taker and we back it with a lifetime warranty.

Today, the quality and performance of Trophy Taker has expanded to include more vital accessories for today’s performance archer. Everything we build is designed to perform – it’s just that simple. Perform, don’t fail, so you can achieve. What began in the rugged mountains of Montana is now an attitude shared across the country: don’t settle for compromises, there is a better way. We think our customers agree, You Can Settle, or You Can Be a Trophy Taker!
