I can think of two things that would instantly have me interested in them. Jeff and I discussed his last statement above in a previous email and I couldn't agree more....

1. The carbon riser technology is the way to go. It is the next innovative step in compound bow design. The problem as I see it though is that they are more concerned with creating a bow that weighs less than an aluminum risered one rather than coming out with a bow that weighs the same as the aluminum riser model but is three thousand times stronger.

I saw the advertisement for the SSS risered bows. My first thought was "How many of those are going to break this year?". I am being honest.

Putting more into the quality and design of the carbon risers is what will make them attractive to more folks not "being the lightest out there".

So, beef up the carbon risers so they are roughly equivalent to the aluminum ones in weight...which should not only drastically reduce noise even more so than now, but should also help with the recoil issue as well.

2. Several companies seem to have found the "happy medium" when it comes to designing a good hunting bow. In my mind a good hunting bow is relatively lightweight, maneuverable (an axle to axle length of 34 inches is perfect in my opinion), has a brace height in the 7-7.5 inch range and an IBO speed of between 315 to 320 fps.

To give you a few examples....Mathews Q2 (minus some speed), Hoyt's previous Havoc Redline model (minus some speed), Bowtech's Patriot, Champion's Mustang, etc....

In conjunction with this they need to do something with single cam design....Mathews has their perimeter weighted....Hoyt the adjustability and Bowtech..the speed.

What else can High Country come up with in this regard? Something new or something totally different? I would love to see.

You asked for my suggestions and there you have it.
