New F3J Model


A new F3J model was announced recently. The model is designed by the team responsible for the Escape, ie Stephan Eder and Max Steidle. The manufacturer is the maker of the 2X F3B World Championship winning Crossbow, Aer-O-Tec. An interesting feature is the interchangable tip panels that allow the model to be streched from 3.4m to 3.6m. Be sure this will join the likes of the Pike Perfect, Supra and Xperience Pro in the winning circle.

Thanks Peter Eagle for sending this information on.
