C'mon, guys... The limbs don't come together. The string stops the lever limb from ever touching the power limb. DUH![8D]
This isjust another incarnation of Onieda's Discovery cantilever bow from several years back, isn't it?
Yes, you are correct. The designers of the Onieda Discovery I think started their own bow line called Firebrand bows several years ago. I owned one, the Intensity. It was quiet to shoot, not extremely fast but fast enough, and
the easiest bow to work on I've ever owned. Their version did not use the shoot through cables, which I feel was the major downfall to the design. It put too much stress on the limbs to work properly with a rod and slide design and torqued the limb hinges causing failures and limb twisting. Monster bows has taken these bows to where they should have been in the first place with improvements. The Firebrand folks had terrible quality control and even worse customer service. Don't knock 'em until you've shot one. If I could swing it, I would not mind having one. Even in the terrible Firebrand configuration I had, when it was in good shooting condition, it was the smoothest shooting bow I've ever hefted.
