Wasp Archery Offers New Bowfishing Point
OutdoorHub 04.29.14
Wasp Archery, the longest established broadhead manufacturer in the U.S., is excited to enter the growing bowfishing market with the release of the Talon. Like the name implies, once a fish is in the grasps of the stainless steel Talon bowfishing point, it doesn’t let go until the quick-release barbs are engaged for easy removal and less mess.
“Wasp is pleased to bring the quality of our broadheads to those passionate about bowfishing,” said Zach Weaver, broadhead designer at Wasp Archery Products. “The Talon will get the job done with a speed and toughness that will impress even the most critical of bowfishers.”
Earning its name, the Talon features three .062” stainless-steel blades that fold back in flight for accuracy and penetration through water and fish. Once the Talon passes through the fish and pressure is applied, the barbs open for a reliable hold under tremendous amounts of pressure. With a simple 30-degree turn of the ferrule, the quick-release mechanism disengages the lock and the blades fold forward for a cleaner and quicker release of fish, allowing for faster reload time with less hassle and mess.
For greater durability in harsh saltwater environments, the Talon is constructed of 100 percent stainless steel. Its trocar tip achieves the penetration and strength Wasp broadheads are known for.
Available at bowfishing retailers nationwide or online at www.wasparchery.com, Talon has a suggested retail price of $17.99. It’s also available in a kit which includes a white 5/16” fiberglass arrow shaft featuring a Bohning Legend nock and a pre-drilled hole for use with safety slides for $21.99.
