Bows, Crossbows and Slingshots: Discover the World of Precision Shooting

Archery is one of the oldest arts that has come down to us. It’s a discipline where strength, focus, instinct and modern technology meet. Today’s bows are not primitive ancestral weapons but high-precision, high-tech tools that deliver unforgettable experiences on both the range and the hunting trail. At the same time, crossbows offer a modern take on that power, making accurate shooting accessible to a wider circle of enthusiasts.

At the Arm Elite online store we’ve assembled a collection that meets the needs of beginners and seasoned professionals alike. This article is your guide into the fascinating world of projectile weapons and will help you choose and buy a bow or crossbow that best fits your goals.

The Peak of Evolution: Mathews Solocam Compound Bows

When it comes to cutting-edge compound bow technology, the name Mathews is synonymous with excellence. This American company sparked a revolution, and its products year after year set the industry standard. A Mathews target bow is not just equipment — it’s a precision tool built for record-setting performance.

The key innovation behind many of their models is the Solocam system — one cam instead of two. This design provides perfect synchronization, an incredibly smooth shot cycle, and removes many tuning issues associated with dual-cam systems.

What else sets Mathews apart?

• Speed and accuracy: Despite their smoothness, Mathews bows are among the fastest in the world, delivering a flat arrow trajectory and excellent groupings.
• Minimal vibration: Proprietary vibration-damping systems make the shot nearly silent and reduce shooter discomfort, allowing full concentration on the target.
• Versatility: Many models are suitable for both target and hunting use. If you need a hunting bow that won’t fail in the critical moment, Mathews is a safe choice.

Power and Simplicity: Barnett Crossbows — An Industry Legend

While a bow requires continual practice and development of specific muscle groups, crossbows offer a simpler route to powerful and accurate shooting. A crossbow is essentially a hybrid of a bow and a rifle. You don’t need to hold the string drawn — the lock holds it for you. You can comfortably aim using an optical sight, just like on a rifle.

For over 60 years, American manufacturer Barnett has been one of the world’s leading crossbow makers. Their products embody power, reliability and innovation.

• Immense power: Modern Barnett crossbows can propel an arrow at speeds exceeding 400 feet per second, delivering formidable penetration — making them a serious hunting tool.
• Safety and convenience: Barnett places great emphasis on safety, fitting models with automatic safeties and dry-fire protection systems. Many models come with cocking devices that significantly ease cocking.
• Complete kits: When you buy a Barnett hunting crossbow, you often receive a ready-to-use package including optics, arrows, a quiver and a cocking aid.

Not Just Bows: Black Widow Slingshots — Precision in Your Pocket

Alongside serious projectile weapons, our catalog also includes premium slingshots. Forget homemade toys — the modern Black Widow slingshot is a powerful, accurate tool for recreational shooting (plinking) and skill training.

Legal Aspects and Choosing at Arm Elite

An important advantage of projectile weapons in Ukraine is their accessibility. Under current legislation, bows with draw weights up to 20 kg and crossbows with draw weights up to 20 kg are not classified as cold weapons and do not require special permits for purchase, storage and use in designated areas.
