BowTech Sends Down the Air Raid

BowTech Archery

Eugene, Oregon - Introduced at the Archery Trade Show, the Air Raid has people talking. The penetrating power with a compact frame leaves the Air Raid an air force to be reckoned with.

The Air Raid is equipped with features to help the shooter lay down some serious ground fire. Features include a Single Rotating Module for easy draw length adjustment, a split harness to balance the power cables, improving accuracy, and laminated limbs to provide extra strength. The bow also features a rubber tipped string stop which is directly in line with the stabilizer bushing creating a coupling effect for an efficient transfer of energy straight to the target.

“This bow is unlike any other bow in our line-up,” says Jerid Strasheim, national sales manager, “It’s the perfect balance between speed and forgiveness.”

With an IBO speed rating of 328 to 336 fps and a forgiving 7 inch brace height, the Air Raid is producing 86.2 fpe of kinetic energy. The Single Rotating Module allows for draw length adjustments from 26 to 30 inches in half-inch increments. And, with peak draw weights offered at 65 and 75 pounds, and a tight 32 ¾” axle to axle, the Air Raid will help make quick work of the world’s largest game animals.

The Air Raid is exclusively available in Realtree Advantage Timber®, finished with an InVelvet top coat, a laminate wood one-piece grip and bronzed eccentrics. An 85 pound peak draw weight is available by special order.

Newark, Delaware - -(OutDoorWire.com)- W.L. Gore & Associates, a leading manufacturer of advanced technology products including GORE-TEX® branded products, announces that BowTech, a manufacturer of bows and archery equipment, will offer GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment on its line of high-end bows and Octane accessories for the 2009 hunting season. GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment is the first-ever concealment technology based on how animals see, both spatially and colorimetrically.

“We are proud to partner with a company that shares Gore’s commitment to innovation and outcome-based technologies for our end users,” commented David Dillon, Hunting Category Leader at W.L. Gore & Associates. “The science behind GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment makes it the ultimate visual concealment system and we are pleased that our partners now offer the pattern for both garments and gear. It’s all about optimizing a hunter’s chances of success in the field.”

Gore previously announced that California based Sitka Gear is an exclusive launch partner for garments featuring GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment.

Until now, visual concealment has been designed from the perspective of the human eye. To create GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment, the team at W.L. Gore worked with a panel of scientific advisors and employed the latest research in animal vision science, camouflage science and computer technology to create a proprietary new concealment pattern. In contrast to mimicry camouflage, which attempts to make the hunter closely resemble his environment, Gore’s digital pattern aims to prevent the animal from recognizing a hunter as a predator, even if the hunter is detected.

“BowTech is committed to quality. From the rigorous testing of all of our equipment to the pursuit of new technologies that offer our customers superior function, we are dedicated to excellence,” commented John Strasheim, President & CEO of BowTech. “Our decision to offer the new GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment is based on our conviction that it is a scientifically sound and revolutionary approach to concealment, and will improve our customers’ experience with BowTech gear.”

GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment comes with InVelvet™ coating on the best-selling models of BowTech bows and Octane accessories. BowTech’s InVelvet™ finish has a soft, smooth touch and has insulating and dampening qualities to reduce chill and noise while also protecting the bow from wear and harsh chemicals.

BowTech will showcase products featuring GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment at the upcoming Archery Trade Association (ATA) Show at the Indianapolis Convention Center, January 8 – 11, 2009. BowTech’s booth number is 2535. For more information on GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment, visit www.optifade.com.
