I had a similar idea back in April while sitting the turkey blind. Beauty of this system is that you could use a very short arrow, if you mounted the arrow rest only slightly ahead of the STS. And a very short arrow could be fairly stiff and still be extremely light weight. Which would kick the speed up even more. If that is desired outcome . . . . .

Artie - I'll have to defer to you on the machining - all I know is that there isn't a bow company out there not using 6061 on their bows, but that's neither here nor there...


the limbs are no better than you can get on any other bow in it's price range. The riser is no better. The limb pockets are no better. The strings and cables are no better.
Rrrright.:D Okay, maybe I'll give you the limb pockets...

Roskoe - do you mean something just like a long overdraw?

Roskoe, only if you used an overdraw and that would only add to the inaccuracies of a bow designed like this. This design is already highly unstable in the hand with out the use of an overdraw.

An arrow rest mounted three inchesback would only decrease thearrow lengthby about 2 inches. Which in todays carbon world is only about 10 - 20 grains.

ORIGINAL: Arthur P

7075 has roughly twice the tensile strength, shear strength and fatigue strength of 6061. But because it is so strong, it does transmit vibration quite a bit more than 6061.
I'd rather have a bit of vibration then a piece of aluminum in the forhead.:D;):) ---Not that I plan on using either....
