Big Power
The Assassin has a very stout 333 fps IBO Speed. That's fast enough to shoot one pin out to 25-30 yards and more than enough knock-down power to confidently hunt any big game species.

Smart Mods
This bow features clever sliding cam modules. So changing draw lengths requires no special tools or extra parts. However, you can also get an optional S (smooth) mod for this bow with a less aggressive grind for a smoother powerstroke.

Low Noise
This bow features a 4 piece string silencer set AND an integrated string stop. String noise is exceptionally low.

For 2012, Bowtech is making a deal with a real killer. Check out the new Bowtech Assassin. The Assassin is loaded with killer technologies and a heart-stopping 333 fps IBO Speed. Of course, that's no surprise. We've all come to expect Bowtech bows to be awesome. In fact, we first thought the general stature and feel of this bow seemed almost reminiscent of the beloved Tribute from a few years back. But as we started to take a closer look, we realized that the new Assassin is unique - and far more deadly.

Faster, quieter, lighter, and smoother than 95% of today's best performers, the Assassin could easily take its place among the market's most elite bows for 2012. But the Assassin isn't about flagship bravado. It doesn't have to be. Because at $639 there is no other bow that can possibly match it. Bear in mind, $639 isn't the cost of the bare bow (which would still be a great deal). $639 is the cost of the complete R.A.K. equipped bow, just as you see it on your right. The bow, sight, rest, quiver, stabilizer, sling, loop, and peep ... $639!!! That's a LOT of premium gear for such a low price.

As much of the market seems intent on pushing the $1,000 bare bow mark, it's great to see a top manufacturer offer a serious high-performance bow to those of us who just can't go all-in for high dollar gear. Bowtech, we salute you. This is the bow we've all been asking for.

If you're starting from scratch, our pro-shop will be happy to upgrade the factory Assassin Package to a full Ready-to-Hunt™ Package - which includes custom carbon arrows, a mechanical release, broadheads, a bow case, professional setup and testing, and FREE SHIPPING to the lower 48, for just $90 more. When you order your Assassin, just let us know ... RAK for $639 or RTH for $729. It's totally up to you. Either way, the Assassin is a killer bow at a killer price!

SETUP

Every 2012 Bowtech Assassin Ready-to-Hunt™ Package is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional. Every detail is attended to. The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings. The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING

We actually test-shoot each bow. Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new 2012 Bowtech Assassin Ready-to-Hunt™ Package. Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy. We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING

Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly. 3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters. We use the 25/2 rule. If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new 2012 Bowtech Assassin Ready-to-Hunt™ Package, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met. While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot. This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard. When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer. And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry. You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING

We know that speed isn't everything, but it is a serious consideration. 2012 Bowtech Assassin Ready-to-Hunt™ Package shoot hard and flat, with excellent kinetic energy (knock-down power). Depending upon the bow's settings, your 2012 Bowtech Assassin Ready-to-Hunt™ Package will likely shoot a measured 292-324 fps once setup with a "loaded" string. NOTE: Expect lower speeds (but increased Kinetic Energy) if you select the heavier Easton XX75 Aluminum shafts. We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range. You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2012 Bowtech Assassin Ready-to-Hunt™ Package. This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system. Keep this sheet for your reference. If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.

Loose parts, like the release and broadheads, are all safely tucked inside too. Once full, the bowcase is boxed and sealed for safe transport.
