We wish both of them good luck with the generational change of Bearpaw Products and look forward to a furthermore intense cooperation.
ELEGANCE NEWLY DEFINED
In order to continue the success story of JACKALOPE by BODNIK BOWS, the top models Diamond, Jade and Quartz were released after 2016, followed by the flagships Smoked Amber recurve- and hybrid bow in 2018.
Smoked AmberAll Bearpaw models are handmade serially and with a lot of passion for detail. Whether Grizzly Hunter or Kodiak Hunter does not matter, in the traditional sector, Bodnik Bows are definitely one of the top brands. Even for young archers, Henry developed a suitable bow that is available from 15lbs: the Mingo. The Slick Stick as a robust hybrid bow also achieves high arrow speed as well as little handshock at the same time - for less than €300, this is what we call good value for money!
Of course Henry wants his bowmakers to be as knowledgeable as possible, which is why the apprenticeship takes place at experienced bowmakers in the United States among others. Furthermore, Henry tests numerous different materials like the Bearpaw Powerglass as long as it takes to fully satisfy his high demands for quality. Because of this, Bearpaw and Bodnik Bows have meanwhile become very popular globally and the bows are shot daily in numerous countries all around the globe.
Aside from the years-long experience and intense apprenticeship of his bowmakers, the Bearpaw Powerglass is also a basis for the success of Bodnik Bows. Henry and his development team were tinkering about the final formula from 2013 to 2016 and invested into a completely new method of manufacturing until he was happy with the energy-efficiency, transparency and brilliance of the final product.
The glass laminate consists of glass fibers and a certain amount of epoxy, which coats the glass fibers and connects them. While the glass alone would be able to be flexed in all directions without too much force, the added epoxy forces the fibers into the desired form. The material can no longer be flexed into a different shape and thereby has to stretch. In this process, the glass stores energy that it will later transfer to the arrow for the most part, other than the epoxy. This is why the high amount of glass in your Bodnik bow allows for much more momentum.

Archers and particularly bow hunters love this string and even Pete Ward (one of the experts from North America) is very keen on this silent string.
