Default New and Innovative??

Think full containment and dropaway rests are hot new ideas? Think again.


#1 is a design by J.O. Lowell from 1940. #2 is by C.J. Cameron, 1931. #3 is W.H. Wright and G.L. Thorne, 1897. A fine example of old, failed technology that has been repackaged and presented as new and innovative. Gives traditional shooters something to pause and consider too, when they start in on what's traditional and what's not. Like the sights on # 2.

Even Hoyts tech riser wasn't started by Hoyt.






And Mathews wasn't the inventor of the 1 cam as many seem to believe.
