A Quiksilver moment....

[buckmaster]

I got and idea...

I was reading something somewhere about how bows are actually simple in "technology" terms. Ok why not change that? And ive got the idea...here goes.

A cam system that is loaded by tension with very little effort. Someway, somehow, idk spring loaded or something... just develop a cam system that you draw maybe 10lbs and it loads the cams to release at 100lbs? 600fps here we come...

Does the concept even make sense?

[MN/Kyle]

and here I thought you were going to ban yourselfI can dream....

[NY/Al]

makes perfectly good sence to me, im sure it would be relatively simple for the right engineer to design something like that.

[Bols]

Would something like a torque multiplier work?

[ultra man]

Along with a torque multiplier you'd have to install a henway.

[salukipv1]

should market it and make the millions yourself, won't see me giving away inventions to my best friends let alone you guys! haha.

In my state, you can't load a bow such as you can a crossbow, we don't allow crossbows here, and alot of places dont allow bows to be loaded so that they can be drawn and basically held without any forces, kinda like 100% letoff.

[buckmaster]

You would still hold like __lbs of force but then when you release it would activate the Camerator ©

Buy a Crossbow.

Any design that is unessecessarily complex is a design failure in my eyes.

What happened to quik anyway...I've been hunting the last 3 months... Fran put his foot in his mouth and get the boot or something? I can't imagine a surfer being all that confrontational???
