BowTech - -(OutdoorWire.com)-  The world’s largest bow manufacturer, announces that John Strasheim is stepping down as President and Chief Executive Officer, and a Savage Sports Corp. board member, effective January 15, 2009. Mr. Strasheim is pursuing other business interests.

Message from John Strasheim:
I have been extremely blessed to have led this company from start up, to the largest bow manufacturer in the world, in just nine years. However, more important are the incredible people that worked just as hard and cared just as much, that I was fortunate to have working with me at BowTech. They have become family and great friends. I will miss them dearly along with the many friendships I have built within the archery industry.

I am leaving the company in great shape. In a difficult year economically, we continued to grow. That is a testimony to our dedicated people, who once again, have designed and built a 2009 lineup that is the best we have ever had.

As you may know, I believe BowTech was built with God’s blessings. We have been a Christian-based company from the beginning, relying on His guidance and always trying to give Him the glory.

I hope that you will continue to support BowTech for the sake of the incredible crew that is still there.

Thank you for the opportunity and the memories - God Bless!

New Rage 1.5 Broadheads Now Available from Rage Expandable Broadheads

Superior, Wisconsin — -(AmmoLand.com)- The overwhelming popularity of the RageTM broadheads has led to the introduction of the new addition – the Rage 1.5.  This new 100-grain, 2-blade broadhead has a 1.5” cutting diameter.   The 1.5 is specially designed with a blade angle that is swept back slightly more than the original 2” 2-Blade design. The new Rage 1.5 offers better penetration for small frame shooters or those targeting extra-large game.

“The new Rage 1.5 fills a niche that we didn’t have, “ stated Jon Syverson, Vice President of Sales.  “This new blade is ideal for women, kids, and for smaller framed shooters who’s bows produce less kinetic energy. “

All Rage broadheads offer the proprietary rear-deploying SlipCam that are fully deployed by the time the blades make impact with no loss of kinetic energy.  The exclusive Shocklock™ System holds each blade in place without the need for rubber bands.  Simply push the blades into place and they will automatically “lock” down.

The unique blade design combined with the proprietary SlipCam system offers the most reliable broadhead design available for guaranteed penetration with bows that are producing minimal kinetic energy.

The popularity of the Rage broadheads made them nearly impossible to find a year ago, however, the Company has taken the steps necessary to accommodate the high demand.  Think big this bow season.  Big entry wound.  Big exit wound.  Big blood trail.  Big animal!  THINK RAGE, and get your game!

The Rage™ is available in 100-grain in either a 2-Blade design with either the new 1.5” or  the giant 2”cutting diameter or 3-Blade design with a 1.5” cutting diameter.  All models retail for $44.99 for a package of three with a practice head.  For an in-depth look at The Rage™ and the revolutionary new patented designs, check out the interactive web site www.ragebroadheads.com Be sure to spend some time looking at the High Speed Footage comparing the impacts of fixed, traditional expandables, and both models of Rage™ .For more information about The Rage™ , please write: The Rage, 101 Main Street, Superior, Wisconsin 54880, or call 1-715-395-0020.

Celebrities Shoot Off In The Rage 100 Charity Event

Superior, Wisconsin - Join Field Logic and some of the biggest names in bowhunting and archery on Thursday, January 8, 2009 at 7 p.m. in the West Lobby of the Indianapolis Convention Center as they compete in the Rage 100 Invitational, a 100-yard charity archery shoot.

Field Logic will donate $500 to the charity of choice for each of the 24 shooters. Their charity will be posted alongside their name during the event so that everyone will have the opportunity to see the various charities that will benefit from this fun shoot.

Each of the 24 celebrities will shoot their own bow (no target bows) with Rage broadheads. The shoot will be a total of four rounds and each archer will shoot five arrows in each round that they participate in.   They will be shooting at 100 yards at a 90 Meter FITA target.

Round 1 - Will be measured by the arrow furthest from the center.   25% of the field with an arrow furthest from the center will be eliminated from competition.

Round 2 - Will be measured the same way with another 25% being eliminated.

Round 3 - The top 3 shooters will advance to the fourth and final round. Normal 10-9-8 scoring will be used in this round.

Final Round - Final round will determine first, second and third place.

First place shooter will receive $5,000, Second place will receive $2,500.   Each participant will be given a dozen Rage broadheads to take home with them.

“That’s a long, long way to shoot using unmodified hunting bows,” says the event’s coordinator, Graham Ruppel, Scales Advertising Agency. “But that’s the idea. Rage rear-deploying broadheads fly like field-tips and now the country’s best archers are going to prove it.”

Rage has a unique design compared to other hunting broadheads. It’s streamlined in flight, but on impact the blade’s shoulders catch and a “SlipCam” forces the blades to slide back and deploy from the rear, rather than from the front as traditional expandables do. This results in fully deployed blades for huge entry holes, large wound channels and better blood trails - all of which expands a hunter’s kill zone. Rage broadheads are available at selected archery dealers nationwide.

You don’t want to miss this exciting competition.   Be sure to mark your calendar now. Join the fun and excitement.   Bring a camera.   Cheer them on.   Have some fun!
