Covert Hunter

This range of new breed super recurved hunting bows has been substantially improved for 2016, with the introduction of the new HEX7.5 limbs giving Improved all round performance; noticeably faster, smoother and stable, and just as quiet. The working envelope of this new and exciting design is 3⁄4” more compact as well, always ready for action in the tightest of spaces.

The Covert Hunter is a holistic view of the bowhunters’ needs and creates a bow that tries to answers all of the needs of the archer in the field.

The Covert Hunter is able to shoot heavier arrows at similar speeds or faster that most hunting bows achieve with lighter arrows. This major factor improves the hunters reach, accuracy and with higher arrow momentum, improves the likely out come of any encounter. The Covert Hunter design stores more energy than conventional designs and means that lower bow weights can be considered. This feature enables the archer to dominate the bow weight, better improving accuracy.

Covert Hunter has an exceptional draw-force curve with the pounds per inch gained over the last few inches of draw hovering around the 1lb per inch for bow weights commonly employed in hunting. Low weight gain over the last few inches of draw has several positive factors, the first is that it may enable the archer to increase bow weight slightly for even higher outputs and still maintain that all important and full concentration on the point to be hit on target. This feature also helps to increase the pleasure when shooting and this stimulates more practice, fuelling further improvements in accuracy. However the main advantage that I personally would consider is that it enables a fuller concentration on the execution of the shot as there is less distraction resulting from the accrued bow weight on the shoulders when coming to anchor at full draw. Accuracy is the prime objective!

The bow displays remarkable lateral and vertical stability emanating from the level of torsional stability crafted into the limbs and the extensive design work that went into the recurve design. This makes the CH very tolerant of arrow spine and shooting technique variations. The deep set deflexed geometry lets the bow settle better during the shot and reduces the effect of bow –hand torque . All in all a very forgiving bow to shoot!

The Covert Hunter has the most compact working envelope of any hunting bow we know of, bow length for bow length and this feature is an integral objective of the design that has been met in full. A poignant example of this is that the 60”Covert Hunter has an overall length when braced of only 53.5”. Most conventional 60” recurves, the overall length would be approximately 57”. 

The Covert Hunter over the full range of bow lengths available have effective working envelopes equivalent to conventional recurves of approximately two bow lengths shorter but have the same string angles at full draw of full length bows. The advantages are smoother more consistent release, giving greater control and accuracy. A “no compromise” answer to accurate and comfortable shooting from the tightest of shooting space!
