Stodr-

This is what has escaped me, I cannot remember all of the details and why I am interested in looking at one again. At the time we passed the one around,(I think around the mid 80's) it was thought to be a "fad" and due to the fact that you had to shoot some heavy arrows and had to be very careful with it never thought much about it and quickly dismissed it after we played with it awhile. It was a goofy looking critter, looked something like a Hoyt Tec riser the way it was all trussed to accomodate the handle and rods. It had a handle positioned on two steel rods and around these two rods recessed into the handle there were teflon bushings. The whole handle slid forward on the rods, and it acted as a power-assist as you pushed the handle forward, and then there was an actuating lever that you pulled with your handle finger once at full draw. This allowed the full force of over 100lbs into the bow for release. If something happened where you could not shoot, you could re-activate the trigger and let down 70lbs again. All of the rest of the technology I'm trying to remember and cannot, so maybe I will just have to buy one to recall it all, or at least see a pic of one again. As stated, I do remember thinking how such a design could actually work great with a little help, maybe after seeing one again after all these years it will jog my memory. If anyone has a pic and could send it or post it here it would be appreciated. Good shooting, P12
