Default Shortest bow ever.

Check out this bow I stumbled across the other day. www.libertyarchery.com It's an interesting concept.

I wish I had that when my dad put me in the single stand last weekend. He didn't clear away enough branches and I couldn't even stand up to shoot.

That bow cannot be very forgiving.

That's what I was thinking. Because it is so short ATA, it will be a lot easier to torque at the last second and be way off on the shot, which is even more likely yo happen when you have buck fever.

Its been a while ago, but someone did a review on them like three or four years ago and it resurfaced. I think it might have been Matt/PA or one of the Matt's (there are a few). Said it was actually pretty easy to shoot.

Looks like a cool idea.... but man... spendy.

I think it was Rick James that did the review, way back though.

Never thought a bow could be uglier than a Bowtech General, but I was wrong. That is one ugly bow.

Actually, the last bow report I saw on the Liberty, which has been around for several years now, said that it vibrated worse than an out of tune tuning fork.
