New Chris Kyle Tribute Bow from BowTech

EUGENE, Ore. – Bowtech, manufacturer of the world's finest compound bows and archery equipment, has developed the ultimate tribute to legendary Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle with the launch of a limited edition "The Legend" bow, available at Bowtech dealers in July. Bowtech will make a donation to the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation (CKFF) for each bow purchased.

Kyle's story is told in the blockbuster 2014 film, American Sniper. Bowtech was involved with the film from the beginning, providing apparel for actor Bradley Cooper during production, attending film premieres and now partnering with the CKFF to support service members and first responders.

The CKFF was launched on Veteran's Day 2014 and was the vision of Chris Kyle prior to his death. Taya Kyle, as Executive Director of CKFF, continues to work tirelessly to extend Chris' legacy through the foundation.

"Bowtech has been incredibly supportive of the American Sniper film and eager to develop programs to support the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation," said Taya Kyle. "We are excited for the launch of The Legend bow and hope supporters for Bowtech and CKFF will consider this bow when preparing for the 2015 hunting season."

The CKFF provides meaningful, interactive experiences to service members, first responders and their families, aimed at enriching their family relationships. The experiences provided by the foundation are designed to give those it is assisting the opportunity to reconnect and remember what they love about each other, thus empowering families to thrive.

The Legend bow is built on the same platform as the company's 2015 flagship bow, Prodigy,
and features the revolutionary PowerShift technology, a brand new innovation in compound bow design that allows the shooter to have every bow he wants with zero compromise. A quick shift of the PowerDisc changes the bow from its Performance setting (maximum speed and knock-down power) to its Classic setting (hard-hitting but smooth) or its Comfort setting (effortless draw).
