Archery Takes Still Shot Arrow Rest Hostage BowTech has made another quality acquisition with their recent purchase of
all manufacturing and licensing rights to the Still Shot capture arrow rest, a
precision accessory that was originally developed by Catawba Archery. BowTech
has renamed the product the Hostage and will distribute from its Eugene
headquarters under the Diamond Archery brand.
In addition to total arrow
containment, the Hostage arrow rest incorporates several engineering and design
features that fit perfectly with Diamond's high quality image. To begin with,
its 3-point rest structure allows arrow fletching to pass through without
touching the brushes, resulting in minimal or no fletch
damage.
Additionally, the Hostage creates less friction, which means less
impact on arrow speed. But perhaps the most significant feature is the noise
reduction, which is more than 50% compared to the leading competitor. Any one of
these advantages can stand alone, but as a package, they make the Hostage a top
contender in the archery accessories market.
"The addition of the
Hostage brings an exceptional quality capture arrow rest to our existing line of
Diamond accessories," says John Strasheim, CEO and President of BowTech. "Along
with the arrow containment that mainstream bowhunters desire, the Hostage
presents a quiet, fast release with little or no fletching damage."
Each
brush block is custom molded with nylon bristles that are trimmed to a v-shape
centering the arrow at full draw. The brush sets are designed to last for
thousands of shots and accommodate either carbon or aluminum
arrows.
BowTech manufactures and distributes the world's finest compound
bows and archery equipment. Founded in 1999, BowTech's current divisions include
BowTech, Diamond Archery and WaterDog Surface Technologies, all with a worldwide
