We've Launched!!!!!!!

Silent Thunder Ordnance

Our current five styles, from left to right: Manchu, Byzantine, Ottoman, Hybrid, and Grooved. Seen at center is the Byzantine in Bronze (the historically correct material for the ring we modeled our Byzantine from).

Almost a year ago, we launched a Facebook Page to offer our services making custom fitted thumb rings. We were never expecting the success which followed. As we grew, not only were ring designs added and improved, but a whole suite of other products and materials. Obviously though, we've outgrown the Facebook platform as our page has become a mess of announcements, products, information, etc. It was time for a website, overdue even. So to all our customers, testers, and collaborators, thank you! 

Welcome to our new website. In order to streamline the ordering process for our customers, and open up additional payment options, we've finally gotten one set up. This changes nothing about our products. Everything is still custom made to fit you, and lovingly hand finished. Just a better organized and more streamlined interface. 

With the launch of our website, comes the discontinuation of two products, and the addition of two new products. Our old "Standard" and "Lipped" rings are being phased out. Customers who have their size known/established in those rings can still order them if they choose, however we encourage everyone to move to our new rings which are better designed, more comfortable, more rigid, and offer improved performance. They are the Hybrid and the Grooved. The Hybrid offers an unusual dual style release. It can either hold the string like the old lipped ring, or release off the top like an Ottoman ring. A very cool design. The Grooved ring, as the name would imply, offers a groove to aid in string placement.

All four of our, for lack of a better description, non-Manchu rings also now run on a new "universal" sizing standard. What this means is, once you know your size for one style ring, we can apply it to any other ring to get your size right without having to order another set of three. Neat huh? Along with this innovation, we've launched Ring Sizers to match so archery retail fronts, shooting ranges, etc. may have a quick and easy way to place newcomers into our sizing spectrum. 

So thank you everyone for making CTR a success, and we look forward to continuing to serve you through our new website. As a special thank you, use the coupon code "LAUNCH5" to get 5% off site-wide for the next week.
