RE: Monster Bows
Oneida made a bow called the discovery in the last years of the Loomis family owning them. It was a Lever Lever bow on a machined riser (kind of like the stealth but the stealh still had a cam system). When they sold out to the Pollington familly they kept the rights to the Discovery bow.. They used this design to start up the Firbrand bow Company which sold a number of bows.. Firebrand is no longer in business (At least last I heard that was the case)... I can't rmember all of their bow names but one was the intensity and one was the Discovery and than their was a third one. Cast risers, weak saddles and a few other things caused problems...It was also not a shoot through system as far as I can remember...

RE: Monster Bows
Correct! Discover is now closed as Loomis went in the military I head - and now MONSTER is making strings and such for the Firebrands including a new shoot-thru cable system. I have a feeling that as MONSTER progresses we'll see some nice retro-fit parts for the the Firebrands. Otherwise I'm gonna hire a machinist to make me some nice CNC or milled parts.

RE: Monster Bows
I have been hearing about Monster for a few years but they haven't seemed to gain much if any ground. Now Oneida is making bows again i understand, so you can buy the original thing without risking dealing with a small independent company... Allm that said the few people I have talked with that have heard of monster bows seemed impressed...

RE: Monster Bows
Yea, Monster seems to have their Sh*t together. Oneida always had issues with sucky Service work and poor quality control. At least after several bows and a dealership of theirs that was MY experience.
