MOUNTVILLE, PA - KodaBow Inc. announces that the company has commenced operations in January 2010 for a proprietary line of crossbow products built on solid rail crossbow designs and aerospace level machined components. All major components are manufactured in Mountville, Pennsylvania, including limbs, a proprietary and patent protected trigger group that provides high accuracy features and includes dry fire protection, ergonomic safety and a user-friendly decocking mechanism. Other key features are military grade accessory components, a high energy storage limb design and innovative Picatinny rail configurations.
KodaBow has established a strategic partnering relationship with MicroFacture LLC, also located in Mountville. MicroFacture (www.microfacture.com) is a high precision parts manufacturer supporting military, aerospace and medical customer segments supplying highly complex machined components that are incorporated in a wide range of applications from space communications to leading edge military tactical weapons systems.
Chuck Matasic, President of KodaBow stated; "After a long and careful crossbow development process, we are pleased to be building out a company in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and specifically in Lancaster County, where there is such a rich and uniquely American tradition around hunting and craftsmanship that predates the Revolutionary War. The perspectives we kept in mind during the crossbow design process were hunting utility, safe performance, and reliability. It was impressive to see the early engineering drawings migrate to a high performing product and then see that product perform well in the field. I have hunted and been around archery and the shooting sports for many years --- from early teenage days working the counter at my local independent sporting goods retailer to being involved with or leading several prominent companies in the outdoor and shooting sports industry. I am very excited about our KodaBow future and what we will deliver to our customers."
Product will available for shipment beginning in March 2010. Preview the initial offering from KodaBow at the 2010 SHOT Show in Las Vegas where the Walker Signature Edition bow will be featured at Sportsmen's Outdoor Strategies/TV booth # 249.
