Basically a bow with no riser, just a handle. I actually had one in my hand about 4 months ago. A customer at my butcher shop had one. Claimed it went about 400 fps. But obviously he was stretching the truth. The cams are very wide, thus the split in the split limbs are very wide. The arrow actually leaves the bow BETWEEN the base of the top limb split. The handle comes out at an angle away from the bow. I asked the guy if I could pull it back. He said only with a release. Apparently he rolled the string off the cam one time pulling it with fingers. He had to send it back to CA to be fixed. Doesn't look like something I would want.

I have shot this "bow", it is VERY fast, but loud, unforgiving, and LOTS of vibration, not to mention ugly as hell. I'll never own one.

I read about this bow awhile back. The manufacturer has only been in the bow biz for acouple years. I know thatBowtech is also afairly new companyandthey make a great bow, but this Liberty is a radically new design, while the Bowtech products use somewhat proven technology.It may be a great bow, but I would let someone else pay to do R & D for them. Now if they wanted to send me one to test...

The site clearly states in red bold text....I'm sure it's not a biased opinion! lol

I have a friend that has one and i have shot it a few times, it is the fastest bow i have seen personally, i dont know how fast it is but it was kicking the Hoyt's butt. Accuracy was not good, but i suppose that takes some getting used to, my friend can shoot it decent, overall though he doesnt like the bow because it is LOUD and, he has had problems with stuff going wrong on it.

It states on the site,"average arrow speed 309 fps, 242 AMO". That is right on par with alot of bows on the market.

It's a compound slingshot!:D

I shot one, it sucked. Lots of vibration, very unforgiving and just plain awkward to shoot. I will never own one.
