The CrossBow Four-Season is our lightest four-season tent and a personal favorite of the SlingFin crew. It's the most versatile tent in our entire lineup, and performs year-round in just about any conditions. Our patented WebTruss plus the recent addition of DAC's 10.65mm PL poles give the CrossBow one of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any tent on the market.
Despite its weather worthiness, the CrossBow's minimum weight can get as low as 3lb 15.6oz by switching the WebTruss out for the included DAC twist clips (4lb 2oz minimum weight with the WebTruss), and weighs only 5lb 2oz all-in, including enough stakes and guylines for all the external guy points.
With a breathable nylon canopy and numerous venting options, the CrossBow Four-Season protects its occupants against spindrift and dust while keeping condensation to a minimum. The CrossBow Four-Season is perfect for backcountry ski tours, alpine climbing, and river trips of all varieties. Because of the dust-proof canopy fabric and excellent wind resistance, the CrossBow Four-Season also makes a fantastic tent for desert camping.
Want a breezier experience in warmer weather that still provides bug protection and ample strength? The updated CrossBow MeshBody accessory swaps out your ripstop inner tent for an airy mesh one that's still compatible with both the WebTruss or DAC twist clips, making your CrossBow a true year-round quiver killer.
Thanks to the WebTruss, the CrossBow pitches easily in high winds. Unlike pole sleeves, which can lead to pole breakage during the pitching process in windy conditions, the WebTruss allows you to fully set up and tension the pole structure before clipping the tent body to the poles. This system provides much more strength for the weight than traditional clip-style tents. With internal guyline compatibility and our OutRigger attachment, the CrossBow can be further strengthened against harsh winds or snow loading using the included guylines and your own trekking poles.
The CrossBow can be used with a footprint, which can also be used to set up the CrossBow without the tent body for an ultralight fly-only pitch.

First - the quality. You can tell the used excellent materials, and while I've only used the bag for a short amount of time, I'm confident it will hold up well to tons of rounds.
Second - The size/feel/layout. The size is perfect for a smaller bag, when I don't want to carry my large backpack or feel like challenging myself with fewer discs. I've got 9 in the main compartment but could easily fit 10-12 depending on disc type, and 3 putters in one of the side pockets. Most of my other items are in the other zippered pocket, and I've got space for more depending on the course.
Last - the color. I bag only pink, and from the picture the bag looked great. In person, it's even better. It might be the brightest pink I've ever seen, almost to the point of hurting your eyes (in a good way).
A friend showed me a turbo putt years ago, and I've been stuck on them ever since. (They don't fly way past the basket if you miss). Key to a good turbo is a grippy edge and a straight flight tendency. These soft Mobius's (I've bought a bunch so I'll never wear them all out) are just the ticket. They fly just fine backhand, don't get me wrong. But if you need or want great grip and a straight fight path, these are the ticket.
It's so lightweight, that any sort of breeze other than a straight tailwind ruins every throw. However, with any sort of a tailwind, and without even having to overcrank it (which would be a mistake on anything but a wicked wrong-directly dogleg--I've learned that lesson) this baby flies like I dream about. I use it for distance, and I use it to turn the "wrong" way because my forehand is so lousy. One of my most-used discs.
Understable 9-speed distance driver--perfect for me
I don't have the arm speed to rip with 12's, and even most 9's are unreliable for me. However, this disc's understable tendencies have proven to compensate for my weak arm, and let me get creditable distance without losing complete control. One of my favorite discs!
I've got a bunch of midranges with similar flight numbers, but nothing quite as heavy (181-183 weight range) which is extremely useful when having to crash out of a heavy brush situation. It's my favorite tomahawk throw, in addition to being a nice slightly understable straight-liner from the fairway.
Great catch disc, sure, but really hard to figure out throwing backhand for me. Then a buddy, commenting on my awful forehand, suggested I use a lighter disc with more float... WAIT!! I've got this bizarre Glitch thing with crazy float numbers... What a great discovery. I'm forehanding this thing out of all my impossible lies and it's doing great for me.
Not all Erasers feel like old school pencil erasers, but this one does and it's GREAT
I've been collecting extra-soft-and-sticky putters (it's a turbo thing) and got a whole bunch of Gateway Erasers to try out. This model is, by FAR, the pick of the bunch. This plastic is ultra grippy, and I love it.
