Ahhhhh the GyroBow.
I wonder if we can get the guy from the ATA show with the big welt on his arm to weigh in on this bow.

And at the price they are asking? There should be one in every home in America!

I didn't actually see it but I heard enough people talking about it to at least think that there was some truth to it and that it's not just a rumor. The story goes......There was a guy who tried shooting the thing and that arm stirrup thingy drilled him hard because he "Shot it wrong" When asked if he would try a second shot........yeah he declined.
Maybe he really DID shoot it wrong? I don't know but I'm not sure I'd care to LEARN how to shoot it properly.

The principle I guess is that the Gyro technology makes it impossible to torque?

MSRP is a very reasonable $2600.00 +/- [:-]

What's $2,600 to a dedicated bowman?

As with ANYTHING I can't personally knock it without 1st hand knowledge.....so I'm more just poking a little fun. (I did hear that story though)
Maybe it shoots like a dream? But I think EVERYONE will admit that a $2000+ price tag is going to exclude 99% of everyday archers from even looking twice at it harder than just an oddity or curiosity item.

Even if the thing was $1000 you are still almost double the price tag of proven and trusted technology.
