Bowtech bows – The Admiral

Posted November 3, 2009 By admin and has no comments yet.

If we were to compile a list of bow companies who are claiming to have produced the best bow there is in the current market, we’d be arguing the whole day and the list would be well over around a hundred. Truth is, in every industry and bow making industry is no exception – it’s a jungle out there and only the best get to survive. This is why Bowtech’s rise within the industry is something to be taken seriously. Already a saturated market, the company still managed to squeeze in and name itself as a top contender in the jungle.

The company’s success can be credited to its designs that are devoid of significant hand vibrations and shock while not compromising its speed. With this note, a particular bow rises to the challenge of being tested. The Bowtech Admiral is a bow that incorporates several innovative ideas from the past and several new ones thrown in for good measure.

The Admiral has a redesigned riser that was based on Bowtechs’ Center Pivot Riser Technology. Putting fancy names aside, it all boils down to a bow that is able to balance itself well during full draw as well as balancing itself on the most important – after the shot was made. There’s the main strut which acts as a limb base and a split portion within gives support toe the middle limb. That center limb on the other hand reduces movement therefore reducing significantly, both vibration and noise.

There are also the parallel limbs which use an opposing forces principle which effectively and efficiently cancels all vibration that is usually associated with flexing and springing bow limbs whenever there is a forward motion. Other bow makers had this pegged down to new technology but its something that Bowtech has been using for a long time and is actually a company standard.

One of the best features that are noted in the Admiral is the versatility offered by the Center Track Binary cam System. Cams, as we all know are built for peak efficiency at certain draw lengths. There are cams that can be adjusted in a variety of draw lengths and which sometimes make you lose efficiency if you do so at several settings except for one. But this is such a tiny loss compared to the several state of the art features that it becomes almost irrelevant. The Admiral also features an adjustment range of 24 to 30 inches. Smaller increments in adjustments can be achieved by tweaking the string. So there really isn’t a need to buy additional cams.

Overall, the Bowtech Admiral will not disappoint. With hand shock and vibrations extremely minimal, all you need is a few accessories and you are ready for the field.
