I'm not an engineer but I've been looking at the Bowtech Patriot pictures and I can see from the limb angle that the bow will have minimal recoil/shock. The Limb angles result in most of the force being transmitted up/down not forward/back like most other bows.
What I dont understand is, how do the limbs generate power at that extreme angle. When you release the string on a "normal" bow for lack of a better word, the limbs whip out and forward. This makes sense to my caveman brain. With the Patriot there's not a whole lot of forward motion in that geometry. Are these new limbs some kinda monsterous stiff? I know Bowtech will produce speed, they always do. I just dont understand HOW you can change limb angle THAT MUCH, leave all else unchanged (ok, nothing revolutionary) and still get the same Bowtech performance.
