Barnett Ghost 400 Crossbow

Barnett Outdoors

Tarpon Springs, FL --(Ammoland.com)-  The most technically advanced crossbow to hit the market, the Ghost 400 is no doubt the flagship of the Barnett line, perfectly blending performance and comfort leaving nothing for want.

The Ghost 400 Carbonlite leads the industry with raw power, shooting at lightning speeds of 400+ fps. This bow features Barnett’s proprietary New Carbon Riser Technology (CRT) and it is by far the lightest and strongest in its class. Barnett has the only patent-protected, ultralight, super-strong Carbon riser available for Crossbows, and it boasts an incredible 5-to-1 safety factor.

The Ghost 400 provides one of the smoothest shots available thanks to the CNC machined aluminum flight track and the 3.5# Trigger pull. Additionally, the Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) trigger assures the safest experience available and delivers maximum accuracy down range . The Ghost 400 is also equipped with Barnett’s over-molded laminated limbs technology called AVI (Anti-Vibration Isolation). This reduces noise and vibration up to 30%. The Crosswire® strings and cable system come standard on the Barnett Ghost 400 while also submitting to Barnett’s proprietary process called Cable Armor. This process increases the longevity of the the strings and cables significantly.

The Ghost 400 package comes with three 22″ custom carbon arrows by Easton, Barnett’s new Talon crossbow sling, the New Carbon Cross® 3-arrow quiver with Hip attachment, a rope-cocking device and finally a premium paper-sighted illuminated scope.

BJ Wolf, brand manager for Barnett Crossbows, explains, “There was a lot of sweat equity put into bringing the Ghost 400 to market, but it was a labor of love. The entire team did an awesome job and was able to keep focus by remembering one of the main goals we have for every project we work on; give the consumer what they want, NOT what you think they want. The Ghost 400 will exceed your expectations all around. ”

Pennsylvania Game Commission

Pennsylvania --(Ammoland.com)- Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are encouraging all schools participating in the National Archery in the Schools (NASP) to register for Pennsylvania’s 2012 NASP State Tournament, which will be held on Friday, March 9, at the Penn State Multi-Sport Facility in University Park, Centre County.

While there is no fee to register, registration opens on Friday, Jan. 27, and closes on Monday, Feb. 17. Registration can be done through the NASP link in the “Education” tab of on the Game Commission’s homepage (www.pgc.state.pa.us), or directly through the NASP Tournament website (www.nasptournaments.org).

NASP helps school districts in Pennsylvania meet physical education curriculum requirements of the state Department of Education, while at the same time introducing them to the world of competitive archery.

Last year, more than 350 students from a dozen school districts participated in the NASP state competition. This year, event organizers are expecting nearly 600 students from even more school districts.

“In addition to offering students a state archery championship for teams and individuals to compete for honors and trophies, the Game Commission is working with various partners to provide tournament participants and spectators the opportunity to visit a host of vendors, from archery equipment suppliers to wildlife exhibits from Shaver’s Creek,” said Samantha Pedder, who is the Game Commission outreach coordinator and state-level administrator for NASP.

Started in Kentucky, in 2002, NASP has spread throughout the United States, and is now reaching around the world, and includes nearly nine million participating students. There are 8,800 schools participating in NASP in 47 states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Tournaments are held at the state, national and international levels. The 2011 national competition was held in Louisville, Kentucky; and the international event was held at Walt Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Florida.

NASP came to Pennsylvania in 2005. In mid-2010, the Game Commission began coordinating the program and has grown the program by working with 40 different school districts to get NSAP up and running in their schools.

For more information on NASP, visit www.archeryintheschools.org. To get NASP started in a Pennsylvania school, contact Samantha Pedder, at the Game Commission headquarters, at 717-787-4250 (ext. 3327). Also, “PA NASP” can be found on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PennNASP.
