I'd like to see other brands hold up to 8000 dry-fires!

Look at it this way folks, in today's litigious society, nobody is gonna promote a product that is unsafe. They will not stay in business very long and the company leadership would be held personally responsible.

HCA is taking a new direction toward ultra-speed bow/arrow combos. While they may not be ideal for all hunting applications, I could see the 3D and possibly target shooters adopting the flat shooting ultra-light arrows.

It wasn't that long ago that manufacturers recommended arrows at least 7-8 grains/pound. Now they agree that 5g/p is safe. As bow technology improves and arrow spine increases, I have no doubt that we'll be down to 3-4 g/p in the near future

HCA cannot afford to advertise like Mathews and Hoyt. I feel they are seeking a niche market of archers seeking speedier arrows and flatter trajectories.

I personally shoot a HCA bow because it is fast and was able to adapt to my needs of short draw length, quietness, and arrow speed. I shoot 5 grains/pound and have no qualms or fears the bow will come apart in my hand. I have considered the ultra-light arrows since they first came out last year but have not yet tried them. No doubt I will someday.

Good luck!
