Posts

Blog’s are made up of content blocks known as posts. Posts have titles, dates, and are arranged into certain categories depending on their content. The navigation bar on the left allows you to select the category of posts that you are interested in reading. Once you click on a category, you will be directed to a page that lists posts only in the category you chose by their title, followed by a short excerpt. You can view the full post by clicking on the post title.

If you click the ‘All’ link under categories, you will be directed to the main BowTech Live page. Here you will see the latest ten posts in all categories arranged by date in descending order. If you want to see older posts, there is a link at the top and bottom of the main page that says ‘Older.’ Clicking ‘Older’ will show you the next ten posts by date.

That’s about all there is to it. We hope you enjoy BowTech Live. Keep checking back for the latest, as we will be posting new items very often. Enjoy!

The Desert Stryker represents a combination of explosive speed and graceful motion in a tight little package that measures 18 1/4″ axle-to-axle with a lean mass weight of just 8.6 lbs. Extreme Horizontal Force Technology, a Desert Stryker engineering exclusive featuring increased limb angle to deliver more arrow speed, throttles 425 grain bolts at an amazing 350 fps (116 ft/lbs kinetic energy).

Even with all this power, Desert Stryker is as covert as they come, hidden behind sound, shock, and vibration dampening WhisperTech technology. Center Pivot engineering attaches the riser near the center of the limbs, so the limb tips move less mass weight and distance. This creates minimal overall limb movement and the result is refined stability unlike anything experienced before.

And remember the Binary Cam System? On Desert Stryker, the binary cam arrangement resists being pulled off center when cocked and self-centers in the string hook. The added value of a Teflon-coated string hook reduces wear to provide long-term string durability.

“We’re filling a gap in the crossbow market by adding a product that’s affordably priced, but with all the features you’d expect from a high-end crossbow,” stated John Strasheim, President and CEO of BowTech. “It’s another option for the serious, value-minded sportsman and it’s just in time for the 2007 season.”

The Desert Stryker is equipped with many of the same components of its big brother: stock, adjustable fore grip, needle roller bearings, Weaver rail, patent pending Bolt Sensor Safety System, and much more. The Desert Stryker is available with an optional accessory package that includes: multiple reticle red-dot 1×30 scope; four 425-grain matched bolts; padded, detachable sling; four-arrow quick release quiver, and quiver hip holster.

MSRP for the Desert Stryker is set at $999 ($1,099 with the accessory package), making it a value-priced, high-end performance crossbow that delivers a big bang for the buck (or bear, or moose, etc.). Effortless loading is made possible with the optional EZ2Draw cocking aid that reduces pull effort by fifty percent.

Stryker’s advanced design makes the cocking process easier and safer than ever. Simply depress the de-cocking lever, insert the cocking handle and crank (clockwise) the string carrier over the string. Then, close the carrier, release the de-cocking lever and crank (counter-clockwise) the cocking handle until the bow is fully cocked making the overall cocking even easier than ever before. A cranking port on each side of the cheek plate makes this easy for right- or left-handers. This advanced system also makes de-cocking the bow a simple process — something that is difficult to do and even warned against by other manufacturers.
