The gear we take to the woods has a special place in our hearts. And most of us are pretty passionate about the brands we support. If you're a die-hard gear nut, or if you're shopping for something specific, like a new bow or pack and want to see what options are available for 2019, we've got a solid lineup prepared for you. This isn't every new piece of hunting gear available in Realtree camo for this season, but it's more than enough to help you start shopping.

Compound Bows

Mathews Vertix

Mathews Vertix

For the first time in years, Mathews bows will be available in Realtree camo and the 2019 line of bows from Mathews paired with Realtree EDGE looks to be an outstanding combo. This year's flagship from the Wisconsin bow maker is the Vertix. This compact 30-inch axle-to-axle bow is shockingly dead in the hand and will be well-suited for chasing whitetails from a treestand or ground blind and equally at home pursuing big game out West. The Vertix features Mathews' new Engage grip and Switchweight modules that allow peak weight to be adjusted in 5-pound increments without adjustment to the limb bolts.

Hoyt RX-3

Hoyt RX-3

The new RX-3 is an incredible bow. Upon shooting it at the 2019 ATA Show, it became apparent this was a quiet bow with minimal vibration, and absolutely dead in the hand. The RX-3 comes in three variations, the standard RX-3, RX-3 Ultra and RX-3 Turbo. The major differences are in the length of the bow, brace height and speed. All of them shoot great — and they're fast. The parallel track tube and weight-forward design improve functionality. And if you go with the carbon version, you won't find a much tougher bow.

Bear Kuma

The Kuma is a great offering by Bear this year available in three different variations: the Kuma, Kuma LD and Kuma 30. Each offers slightly different specs for different shooters and preferences.

Bow Accessories

Fuse Ultra Rest

Fuse Ultra Rest Drop-Away

This full-capture drop-away rest is one of the best in its class. It's what I personally shoot, and I have never been disappointed. It's virtually impossible for arrows to fall off the rest. The rest drops away only when the bow is fired. It doesn't drop away when the bow is slowly let down. It's been tested at over 400 fps, and the Lock Down Technology helps to prevent bounce-back, which ensures total fletching clearance. The laser-cut felt makes the draw cycle much quieter, too. It's hard to go wrong with the Ultra Rest.
