The Nikon ATB series of binoculars has been a staple of Nikon's bino lineup for years and has been a favorite among hunters for just as long. For 2012, Nikon revised the Monarch ATB into a series of new Monarch binoculars called the ATB, the Monarch 3, the Monarch 5, and the Monarch X. For this review we'll be taking a look at the Monarch 5 which is closest to the Monarch ATB of previous model years.
The Monarch 5 comes in 3 power offerings: 8x, 10x, and 12x all with a 42mm objective. If you're looking for a smaller or larger objective size, you'll need to either look at the Monarch 3 or Monarch X. Currently the Monarch 5 series is offered in black or Realtree APG and our review model is a 10x42mm in Realtree APG.
The peep sight has become an almost universal accessory on modern compound bows, spawning a myriad of designs on the market today. However a common denominator among all of the current peeps is that they require you to pick a fixed peep aperture. TruGlo is changing up how hunters think about their peep with the introduction of the new Versa Peep for 2012. 
Quivers are one of those bow must have accessories during a long, especially pack in hunt. Arrows get lost, bent, or otherwise damaged and it's not always easy to just pack it back and get a few more arrows. On the downside, when selecting a quiver a hunter has to decide between weight and capacity of the quiver. More capacity helps with having more arrows in reserve, but that just adds more total weight to the bow. If you have ever had this dilemma, Fuse Archery has a new quiver called the "Switch" that might just be what you are looking for in a new quiver. 
Regardless of your style of hunting, there is one tool that is absolutely necessary on a successful hunt; a knife. Not just any knife, but a sharp knife along with a sharpening stone to maintain that sharp cutting edge. Most all hunters go afield with a stainless steel knife of some variation, but one alternative is ceramic knives. Ceramic blades offer a very sharp cutting surface and an edge that lasts for much longer because of the hardness of the Zirconia ceramic crystalline structure. For this review we are taking a look at the Stone River ceramic hunting knife. 
Fuse Archery produces a line of bow sights for 3D shooters and bow hunters. At the pinnacle of the Fuse line up is the Carbon Interceptor sight which is new for 2012. For this review we'll be taking a closer look at the Carbon Interceptor and what it offers for a premium bow sight. 
While Truglo is perhaps best known for their variety of after-market fiber optic bow and pistol sights, Truglo also makes a variety of archery accessories from stabilizers to bow releases. For this review we'll be taking a closer look at Truglo's entry level "Lock Down" four arrow bow quiver. 
The original Apprentice compact bow was a popular entry level youth and women's bow for several years. For 2012, Bear has decided to update the bow and has dubbed it the Apprentice 2. For this review we'll be taking a look at the Apprentice 2 and why it offers an even better value than the original Apprentice.
Fuse Archery offers a line of premium bow hunting accessories from sights to rests. Recently they have added a series of "Clinch" bow releases to their offerings and new for this year is a new release called the "Dual Caliper." Fuse is owned by the Hoyt Archery Company of Salt Lake City, Utah.
