Eugene, OR (April 5, 2007) 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.
