stealthycat; I have an all new bow, patented and I built it myself. It looks like a recurve and it shoots like a compound. This means it compares to a compound in many ways; speed, let-off, draw curve. This bow is in no way an advantage over todays compounds, it is only diffrent in a neet and simple kind of way. It realy has the looks of a recurve because it has recuved limbs and it has no cams. The limbs are attached to the riser on a pins that allow the limbs to tilt back as the bow is drawn, the limbs are connected to each other by a pair of cables to keep the bow in tune. I will be at the AMO show to introduce the bow to the archery industry this weekend, I will be in booth # 2608, company name CAPSTONE ARCHERY, I have been looking forward to this week for a long time, and hope to meet some of you there. thank you.
