Next generation of Xbow?
 

I wasn't sure exactly where to post this but I had to share it somewhere. Check out the pic below. For those that cannot read the small print on the bottom....


"Binary Cam Technology"
"405 feet per second"
"155 ft. lbs of KE"
"Whispertech Silence"

There was a one-page advertisement in the most recent addition of Inside Archery magazine.

"Cock, load, squeeze, game over" ---Now thats catchy.

Its pretty neat how far technology has come but how many people are going to get out there and try to make a 300-400 yardshot just b/c they have a scope on there.

Sugar.....

I'll get rid of my rifle for rifle season and hunt with that. No difference.. LOL

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

now let's just take the fun out of it!!! still look like a good idea!!!

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

I bet they sell on speed alone though I bet there is more to it than that. ;)

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

wonder if darton is gonna let em use the binaries.........

Or is this another Kodiak Kinetic that was never allowed to be released...........

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

Look at those Limb Squids, UH I mean silencers, it is pretty obvious to me who this crossbow comes from. Maybe a company called bow something or other.;)

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw it..........looks like a Bowtech hush kit. Their penchant for catchy ad slogans is there as well.

Anyone know who makes this arrow rocket?

I have to say - they have the most awesome website I've ever seen!
good looking xbow, very catchy.

I've read several places this is made by Bowtech. I'm sure it will attract the speed freaks like a dog does ticks, however it is surely overkill. Bill Troubridge, co-owner of Excalibur recently took a bull elephant in Africa w/ a stock Exomax, 900 gr dbl walled carbon arrow at about 250 fps, 125 ft. lbs k.e. on a quartering away shot at 20 yds and would have had a complete pass thru, except the arrow lodged in the off side front leg bone.
I'm going from memory here, but believe the b-head was a 125 gr 2 blade magnus.

Uh... perhaps the crossbow forum? [8D]:D

Thanks for sharing anyway Frank; it is cool to see what's coming down the pike in other ventures...

Yeah, I followed a thread on another forum where everyone was trying to figure it out; someone went so far as to look into who had the domain name registered for BowTech and StrykerXbow, respectively. Cracked me up... You mean the "Binary Cam Technology" description didn't give it away?!? ;)

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

Looks wierd. I dont think it should be called a bow though. They need to ad the 'cross' to the front of the word bow. When you think about it though you would think that that would wear out the spine on the arrows really fast because of the severe stress put on it. Just my thought.

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

Look carefully between the words "Stryker" and "bow"... You'll see an "X" there, which is shorthand for "cross" in the world of crossbows... :)

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

I'm waiting to see what the "my Excal.... is faster and better than your compound Xbow" people will have to say about this.

RE: Next generation of Xbow?
 

That bow is total BS if you ask me. I'd never buy one. My two hortons are great bows and they dont need to be doin 405 fps or w/e. That's on the verge of dangerous. And Xbows as rifles? Hahaha. I wish. i wouldnt take a shot more than thirty yards with mine. Xbows arent guns, they're bows just like your hoyt's or bowtechs, just different lookin. Great for young bowhunters, old Bowhunters and the physically chalenged. For those who shun the xbowers you havent tryed one. andtheir little slogan isn't helping the xbow community either. You have to dedicate time, and practice into getting your xbow setup and sighted in. not all use scopes, they do use pins also. sorry but that bow is just a slap in the face to xbowers. it'll go bankrupt in a year trying to compete with tenpoint, Horton, Excalibur or even barnet.

(P.S. there is an xbow forum)
