Hi Everyone

Quick update! Our shipping as you know started two weeks ago and we have fulfilled all of the right hand Cobalt and Burnt Bronze bow as have started shipping the Blue and Camo bows and are in the final days of building and shipping the last few bows.

According to my last count we have less than 20% of bows left to ship and are just waiting on the final risers to come back from our painter. We plans to ship these tomorrow and we should have them in-house by Friday to ship out on Monday to be safe.

Initial feedback from everyone we have asked is that they are very happy with the quality of the bows and most say they did not expect the bows to be of such good quality when compared to the prototype photos we used on our campaign page.

My decision to delay the project slightly to have G-10 grips ended up being a good one and I am very, very happy with the much improved quality of the G-10 grips. The tooling our supplier developed during the setup will also allow us to bring you a variety of grip patterns should you choose to switch it up a bit with something slightly fancier than the standard production version.

All in all I am very pleased with the quality and hope to get your feedback soon.

Again thank you so much for supporting this project! Without you this would not have been possible as soon as it was!

Till next update!

Hi Everyone!

The good news is that we have finally started shipping bows. We had a slight hick-up with our final processes here, but the first bows went out the door yesterday and more will continue to go out we build and do the final quality control checks.

The bows are looking fantastic and out decorators have done a great job on the Camo and Cerakote finishes.

You should receive an email from us as soon as your bow goes out so please keep an eye out for it. We aim to ship everything out within the next 7-8 days.

Again thank you for making this project possible and please shoot me a mail at [email protected] to let me know how you enjoy the bow and send me any photos or videos you may have using it as we always enjoy featuring our customers in blogs, on our website and other social media pages when we can.

I will send out another update once we have made the final shipment so everyone can know their bows are on the way.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone!

A quick update on the project.

During the past two months we have made significant progress with the production of the Atmos and the first 250 are well into their production and the first 50 bows have shipped to the decorators and we expect to start receiving them back within the next two weeks which would have allowed us to ship out according to our original estimated shipping date.

I have however made the decision to make a late change to the Atmos grips as I was not happy with the quality of the grips I received. Now the good news is that changes improve the durability and the aesthetics of the grips immensely compared to the prototypes you would have seen in the video. The not so good news is that this design change will however mean a shift in the shipping date of a few weeks for those Early Bird offers which ship in August. Currently we are looking at a shifted shipping of 3 weeks past the original estimate and will start shipping bows by September 20th. We are however working closely with our supplier to expedite this lead time and hope to bring it forward as much as possible. There is a very good chance that we will start to ship bows out sooner though. I will get some final timing from my production this week and keep you updated.

Whilst I am not one who likes to shift dates I think the improvement in quality and design are well worth it and I think you will appreciate the difference.

Other than that everything is looking really good and the Atmos is gaining some major traction as more reviews from both Youtubers and product testers come back. The main thing people are saying is that the bow is very well balanced and rather quite and the guys like the fact it is so adaptable to different setups.

I will mail again in about a week with the next update once I get final timing on the grips.

Best regards,

Doug Shadwell

Hi Everyone

We are a few hundred dollars short of the $40,000 pledge mark so thanks to everyone for making pledges and making this project such a success so far. Last week we added two stretch goals for left handers and saw a spike in pledges indicating that there are many left handed archers who would really like us to get to the first stretch goal of $60,000 so we can add left hand tooling to our production line.

Please can you share this campaign with your friends and family to help this happen? It really does make a huge difference.

What will also help us reach this goal quicker is if you add any of our awesome accessories available to your pledge. We have a number of takedown arrows, sights, quivers, arrow rests and more so simply add the amount shown to your pledge if you would like any of them to help improve the performance of your bow. We will then get details of what to use the extra money for during our campaign survey.

We would also like to share an awesome product we came across here on Kickstarter. They only have a few days left so if you like the look of this underwater drone don't wait to long to take advantage of their great offer.

Nemo, Ultra-High-Definition 4K Underwater Drone

Nemo is the World’s first 4 tandem thrusters underwater drone. With the UHD camera, you can see the extremely stable underwater live feed directly to your phone or tablet. Great for fishing, exploring, watching marine life or...just for fun with family and friends
