REFUSE TO FAIL

It is the champion’s creed. Still, every success story is full of trials and adversity

Accuracy in a bow depends on consistency and stability and BowTech has mastered both.

that raw, unexplored idea, but we will take that over the status quo any day. And when the idea becomes a reality, we’re committed to delivering it. After all, it is your support and passion for bowhunting that drives us. We are deeply motivated by your suggestions and continued enthusiasm, and we want to honor you in return. So we push every envelope. We question every standard. And to those that say we can’t… their doubt just fuels the fire.

Balance means durability, consistency and accuracy, and BowTech’s proprietary CenterTrac Binary Cam System provides it. Other cam systems place all the cable tension on one side of the cam and the string on the other. This new technology puts equal cable tension on both sides of the cam, placing the bowstring in the center track. The result is a cam system without lean that delivers superior balance, rock solid durability and unequalled accuracy.

No one’s ever made a Kevlar pillow or a micro fiber tank. But sometimes strength and comfort combine to make the ultimate weapon. Introducing InVelvet, an armor coating much stronger than other finishes. InVelvet not only protects your bow from wear and chemicals such as deet; it’s soft and warm to the touch, insulating your hands from the cold. Better still, InVelvet is a noise dampener, significantly quieting your bow. Bucks might shed their velvet every year, but you’ll never want to be without InVelvet again.

The roller guard improves performance in nearly every aspect. It minimizes friction during draw and release, prolonging cable life and increasing speed. Also resistant to wear, the roller guard ensures long-lasting performance. Yes, we know the roller guard device is not new to archery. So we improved it. Our roller guard has been coupled into a single unit featuring our new ShortStop string suppressor.

In a game of baseball, the shortstop is a split-second strategist, vital to every play. Our new ShortStop string suppressor is just as multitalented. Using a reverse flange, the ShortStop catches the bowstring, centers it and absorbs string vibration, eliminating side to side nock travel and the need for after market string silencers. It not only silences the shot, but the reduced weight on the string without silencers makes each shot wicked fast! All this makes the Roller Guard/ShortStop unit the new MVP of major league bowhunters.

In honor of the soldiers for whom this bow is named, BowTech will donate a portion of every Airborne purchase to the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. For more information, visit www.TAPS.org.

DEATH BY AIR The men and women who courageously serve in our military exemplify leadership, valor and teamwork, all values on which BowTech is built. But paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division are a breed apart: warriors who surf the clouds into enemy territory on missions impossible. The 82nd Airborne bow was designed for this adrenaline addict mentality, boasting our new ZeroTolerance limb pockets and the third generation CenterTrac Binary Cams to produce speeds worthy of an elite trooper. So, if you have a need for speed, your search stops here.

82ND AIRBORNE Roller Guard/ShortStop The ShortStop string suppressor offers a double play of greater comfort and increased speed. With its reverse flange, the ShortStop catches the bowstring, centers it, and absorbs string vibration to eliminate horizontal nock travel and the need for after market string silencers. The ShortStop comes as a single unit with the roller guard to reduce friction and prolong cable life.

Zero-Tolerance Limb Pocket Technology Without unity, accuracy is impossible. Limbs must flex without wobble or accuracy flies out the window. This is possible only if the limbs are perfectly matched to their pockets. Zero-Tolerance Limb Pockets are sculptured with a slight taper that conforms to the shape of the limbs forming together as a single element. Unity is restored. And the result is zero tolerance, zero error, and laser-like precision.

Forged Aluminum Riser Breathtaking speed demands strength. To achieve ultimate efficiency and performance a bow requires quality materials. The 82nd and the 101st Airborne’s power stems from risers fire-bred of forged aluminum, which preserves the grain strength of the original alloy making the finished riser stronger and more resilient.

SCREAMING EAGLE You could say the 101st Airborne Division possesses some might: like three ground brigades, division artillery, several separate commands, two aviation brigades, a corps support group, and three battalions of the Apache attack helicopters – all capable of inserting a combined arms task force deep into enemy terrain in a single lift. So you can appreciate the power of a bow by the same name. Yet, given its awesome affinity for raw strength, the generous brace height of the 101st Airborne bow is amazingly forgiving and shootable, while still providing fantastic speed and performance. Dedicated to the 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagles,” this bow is for sportsmen who want speeds that approach the sound barrier.

101ST AIRBORNE Speed/Smooth Mod Afterburners and aftershave. One scorches and one soothes. Like our Speed/ Smooth mod options. One increases bow speed and one increases draw comfort. Choose wisely… or just choose both.

Grip System Excluding the TomKat, every BowTech is equipped with two, super thin side plates. For the discriminating bowhunter looking for options, we offer three after market grips; an ergonomic one-piece laminated grip, a new Laser Grip® developed exclusively for BowTech by Crimson Trace, and a heated grip to warm up to during those cold days spent in winter tree stands.

Shelf Trough The wide flanged shelf creates a large sight window to view your target. The machined trough, combined with a thumb grove underneath the shelf and lower arrow rest holes, reduces the distance between your hand and the arrow shaft, creating greater stability and accuracy by significantly reducing vertical torque.

THE

GENERAL

Ten-hut! Look sharp and pay attention! Let’s keep this short and sweet. Generals lead. Everyone else follows. What’s it take to be a General? Power! Stability! And an ultra-smooth CenterTrac Binary Cam System coupled with Center Pivot limb technology and an extremely forgiving 8 1/4 inch brace height. The General is engineered to distribute limb pressure evenly, providing maximum performance with perfect balance. Add to that our proprietary CenterTrac Binary Cam for a draw that’s more forgiving than your pastor’s grandmother. Finally, throw in a combination Roller Guard/ ShortStop string suppressor, and you have a bow that leads the way in silence and shootability. Are we clear here? At ease, soldier!

THE GENERAL Roller Guard/ShortStop The ShortStop string suppressor is the strong, silent type. With its reverse flange, the ShortStop catches the bowstring, centers it, and absorbs string vibration, eliminating side to side nock travel and the need for after market string silencers. No string silencers means increased speeds and eliminated after market expense. The ShortStop comes as a single unit with the roller guard to reduce friction and prolong cable life.

Center Pivot Riser/Limb Technology Speed without stability is like milk without the cookies. BowTech’s proprietary Center Pivot technology delivers the speed of a reflex design while providing the stability of a deflexed riser. By creating a central bracing point, load is distributed evenly, eliminating the “diving board” effect inherent in typical limb design. Center pivot technology virtually eradicates horizontal torque and vibration, making the bow significantly more silent, accurate and stable.

CenterTrac Binary Cam System This riser design may be rock solid, but the cam design is poetry in motion. The CenterTrac Binary Cam system finally does away with cam lean while the addition of an adjustable draw stop provides minute tuning capabilities. The result is a cam system without lean that delivers superior balance, rock solid durability and unequalled accuracy.

THE

GUARDIAN

Center Pivot Riser/Limb Technology Strength and dependability are the key advantages of this design. Center Pivot technology delivers the stability of a deflexed riser while providing the speed of a reflex design. And, the Center Pivot utilizes two short limbs braced at the beginning and center, providing efficient, even load distribution. Plus, the additional benefit that allows replacement of string and cables without the use of a bow press.

CenterTrac Binary Cam System Say a last goodbye to cam lean and loss of performance. BowTech’s proprietary CenterTrac Binary Cam eliminates the problem. This CenterTrac technology places equal cable weight on both sides of the cams, positioning the bowstring in the center track rather than to one side, providing superior balance. And, with mods available in half-inch increments, and the addition of an adjustable draw stop, individualized tuning is a walk in the park.

A GUARDIAN is strong defender assigned to protect. A Guardian is a teacher and mentor, imparting wisdom and growth. A Guardian is trustworthy and dependable. A Guardian will knock the stink off a rutting bull at 40 yards, which is really all you want it to do. The Guardian was top dawg in 2007 and won’t be moved in 2008. It still packs enough raw power to strike like lightning. But there’s no thunder coming from this bow. It’s silent as the grave. Our CenterTrac Binary Cam System and Center Pivot risers give this bow one of the quietest shots available with the least vibration. If you’re longing to shoot a forgiving, deadly-accurate bow that a buck with sonar couldn’t hear coming, then the Guardian is your new best friend.

Reputation The Guardian has earned a reputation for excellence; touted by reviewers as the quietest and most shock-free bow available: “… this bow is phenomenally smooth and accurate... Silky like to draw, the bow’s valley and wall instill comfort and confidence as you sight in on target. Really, there’s nothing about this bow I don’t like. Bottom Line: You’ve got to test fire this bow for yourself – it rocks.” Joe Bell, Bow & Arrow Hunting “My sample BowTech Guardian proved to be the quietest, most vibration free compound bow I have ever shot. Its performance is simply amazing.” Bill Krenz, Inside Archery

THE

COMMANDER

THE COMMANDER is the senior officer in our lineup and rightly deserves a hefty dose of respect. It stands as a twin pillar of strength next to the Guardian, but with the forgiveness associated with a longer axle-to-axle length. The Commander delivers power with a draw that’s smooth enough to be officially classified as a covert weapon. Whether you’re itching to bag that trophy buck from a tree stand or slam-dunk your next archery competition, the Commander is ready to deliver the orders.

THE COMMANDER Center Pivot Riser/Limb Technology A leader must be both stable and quick to act. Center Pivot technology delivers the stability of a deflexed riser while providing the speed of a reflex riser. By creating a central bracing point, load is distributed evenly along the whole limb, virtually eliminating all torque and vibration. The result is a quieter, more stable bow with increased accuracy.

CenterTrac Binary Cam System The Commander has banished cam lean forever through BowTech’s proprietary CenterTrac Binary Cam System. This new technology puts equal cable weight on both sides of the cam, placing the bowstring in the center track rather than to one side. The result is a cam system with superior balance, rock solid durability and unequalled accuracy.

String and Cables A bow is only as good as the sum of its parts. As with all BowTech bows, the Commander is equipped with custom-made string and cable sets featuring twenty-two strands of 452X BCY material. Built and pre-stretched in-house, this configuration combines strength with technology resulting in extreme durability.

THE

ALLEGIANCE

PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE to the stags of the United States of America, and to the Republic of high tree stands. And as long as you’re at it, you might as well pack along this great bow with its revolutionary CenterTrac Binary Cam system that virtually eliminates all cam lean and efficiently distributes mass to the center of the cams. The Allegiance is faithful to the cause of one bow with shootability and performance for all. Salute the Allegiance, with more than enough speed, stealth, and maneuverability to easily earn your sworn loyalty.

THE ALLEGIANCE Vertical Force Technology Force working against force to create balance. We’re not talking about some new age meditation here. This is Vertical Force Technology, where the limbs are placed at parallel angles so that, upon release, energy is equally distributed in opposite directions. The result is a bow as serene as a summer breeze.

InVelvet Protective Coating New for 2008, InVelvet is a protective coating with increased durability over standard finishes. InVelvet protects your bow from wear and chemicals such as DEET; its soft, smooth and lustrous touch, has insulating qualities that warm both hands and heart, and dampening attributes that significantly reduce noise. Bucks can shed their velvet every year, but you’ll never want to be without InVelvet. ™

Binary Cam System The Allegiance cam system is the perfect example of equilibrium of powers. The Binary Cam System featured on this bow has been designed with most of the mass moved to the center of the cam. The result is a lighter, more efficient cam system that reduces cam lean and transfers more stored energy to the arrow. So get out there and flex those cams.

THE

EQUALIZER

ONCE UPON A TIME, smallframed archers and hunters had to sacrifice performance for the right fit. Those days are over. This is an era when great things come in small packages. Case in point is that cell phone hanging from your hip. Enter the Equalizer; an average size bow specifically designed for archer’s blessed with shorter arms and draw lengths. However, do not be mislead. The Equalizer does not substitute performance for fit. Sporting the Binary Cam System, the Equalizer is incredibly efficient and among the fastest bows, draw for draw, in the BowTech line up.

THE EQUALIZER Pivoting Limb Pockets Noise and vibration are the curse of every bowhunter’s existence. But not long ago, adjusting draw weight meant living with a rattling limb, shot after shot. The Equalizer’s pivoting limb pockets encompass a greater surface area of the limb and include a bezel that actually sits down in the pocket. This technology delivers draw weight adjustability without any of the dreaded noise or instability.

Binary Cam System Archery and bowhunting are precision sports that require precision technology. The Binary Cam System delivers just that. The System enslaves the cams to one another, so they self adjust and eliminate the need for individual synchronization. The result is an increased amount of stored energy transferred to the arrow with each shot.

Vertical Force Technology Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction, and a torque free bow. Vertical Force Technology places the limbs at near parallel angles with very little limb tip movement, so that, upon release, energy is equally distributed in opposite directions. The result is a bow as serene as a summer breeze. Neither you nor Mr. Whitetail will feel a thing.

GRIP OPTIONS HotPursuit Heated Grip A cold winter day in the tree stand will numb your digits and seriously affect dexterity. Now you can warm up when the heats on with the HotPursuit exclusively from BowTech. The HotPursuit is heated by one nine-volt battery to a warm and nimble 40 – 50 degrees above the ambient temperature for an average of 5 hours. It is water resistant to ensure your hands stay warm, even in the rain. So warm up and prevent the hand blues this season with a HotPursuit.

*Consult local regulations on the use of laser sights for hunting.

LaserGrip® Crimson Trace®, the leading manufacturer of handgun laser sights, has created a LaserGrip® sight exclusively for BowTech. This patent-pending design packs a powerful laser, long-lasting batteries and an ergonomic activation system into a two-piece grip. Easily adjustable for windage and elevation, the laser activates when the bow is drawn, applying pressure to the grip. Great for target practice, low light hunting* or as a training aid.

It is water resistant to ensure your hands stay warm, even in the rain. So warm up and prevent the hand blues this season with a HotPursuit.

One Piece Laminated Grip Sometimes you need a comfortable grip, but you don’t need all the extra James Bond features like lasers and electric heat. Our ergonomic one piece laminated grip is just the ticket. Fashioned from a wood polymer, it maintains the look and feel of wood while providing the strength and endurance of a polymer grip. Using the same ergonomic design, the one piece grip is interchangeable with the LaserGrip® to fit your needs without altering the feel.

Every BowTech bow has completed an intensive check and balance process. Each has been individually hand shot, tested and measured to ensure compliance with our strict performance standards. Performance testing is completed using a Custom Chrono, Heavy Duty ProShop Meter and digital scales (digital scales have a variance of +/- 1%). Speed ratings have been obtained with factory installed brass nock and Hush Kit where applicable. These accessories decrease velocity by 5-8 fps. Final factory test results are documented in writing and attached as a “Birth Certificate” to every bow shipped.

IBO speed ratings are the industry standard and are calculated by shooting an arrow, which must weigh at least five grains per pound of the bow’s maximum shooting weight, through a chronograph. The majority of BowTech speed calculations are made using a 70# – 30” draw bow shooting a 350grain arrow. Speeds for The Equalizer are achieved shooting a 300-grain arrow with a 60# – 27.5” draw. Draw length modules are available in 1/2” increments on all models.
