They are moving away from the split riser already
Hey...this is just a discussion....but I don't see this. They introduced a new bow (along the lines of this technology) in the General, this year....that will (in my opinion) take over a HUGE chunk of the hunting market in a just a few years. I've seen it happen in the shop I shoot at.....someone comes in to shoot the "new" bows.....shoots a (_________) brand and then the General.....and whetehr they buy one or not, the General gets their attention.
PSE has gotten to the speeds at a price. Have you shot one?
with their speed no longer unmatched I don't see anything else in the 2008 lineup that could even be considered "new" technology...........let alone the leading edge.
You may have a point.....but where do you go from 340fps+? And the Guardian/Commander split limb technology is still new (IMO)....and still "fresh". The difference in the HCA and the Bowtech isn't that the HCA is a faster bow. It's that they're willing to warrant their limbs for a lighter arrow.
I am also one (admittedly) who doesn't need to have an earth-shattering technological breakthrough to pull the buying trigger. Hell....I buy 'em because it's fun to have a new bow.
I thin all the big name bow companies have probably done wonders for each other. I just see one doing more (all-around).
I do wonder what the next "breakthrough" will be
