BowTech introduces new patent-pending VibraBlock
Noise and Vibration Reduction Product Improves Comfort Without Sacrificing Speed

Creswell, OR (January 16, 2002) – BowTech is unveiling its latest effort to create the most comfortable bow on the market with the introduction of VibraBlock, the new patent-pending vibration reduction accessory currently rolling out from the BowTech manufacturing plant.

Faster, smoother, quieter… BowTech pursues these qualities relentlessly. The VibraBlock reduces overall noise and vibration without reducing arrow speed. Its simple installation is the key to its effectiveness. The VibraBlock slides on and completely encompasses the limb of the bow. This results in the reduction of vibration from all sides of the limbs, not just one.

This simple installation is also the key to VibraBlock’s longevity and flexibility. It holds up in extreme temperature conditions, hot or cold, because it doesn’t rely on adhesives to stay attached. Plus, it can attach to any bow with any limb, straight, split, or tapered.

The VibraBlock is made from an injection molded, rubberized polymer and measures 1.75” x 1.5” and is 0.5” thick. BowTech’s chief engineer, Kevin Strother, comments on the new product’s specifications: “We are in the process of setting up university lab testing to determine the numbers on noise and vibration reduction. But it doesn’t take much research to feel the significant difference in your bow with and without the VibraBlock.”

Testing that has been completed shows that one VibraBlock set (one on each limb) causes zero reduction of arrow speed. Two VibraBlock sets, which reduce vibration by another 25%, only reduce arrow speed by one foot per second.

BowTech, (www.bowtecharchery.com), the manufacturer and distributor of the world’s fastest bows, was founded in 1999 by CEO and Chairman of the Board, John Strasheim, and by Vice President of Research and Development, Kevin Strother. BowTech continues to be the fastest growing bow company in history. The company holds patents on the world’s fastest single, dual, and three cam bows, along with the patent-pending SandTrap, VibraBlock, and Vertical Force Technology. Each is a BowTech original.
