The BowNear® Reatractable Bow Holder Story

What bow hunter hasn’t wished for an accessory that would position and hold his bow until the prey is spotted, then silently get out of the way for the shot? Tim Gorsuch wasn’t content with wishing for it – he created a homemade device that would do just that. He used it for years, and made some for his friends. Word got out about his ingenious invention, and he began to sell handmade units to a lucky few. When more and more people told him, “I won’t go on a hunt without one,” clearly Tim knew he had a winner on his hands. It was time to bring this bow-hunting boon to the masses.

Tim approached Jim Buckley of Chipless Metals and asked if his company could engineer his invention into a commercial product. Turning a great idea into an engineering marvel is a passion for Jim and his team, resulting in dozens of patented products enjoying success in the marketplace. It was the perfect fit of ingenuity and sound engineering, and BowNear® was born. Every detail of the BowNear system is designed with the experienced bow hunter in mind – from it’s whisper-silent operation and rugged construction, to the camera mount and hooks for your gear.
