Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Not sure if anyone remembers us having this conversation way back in April... About string suppressors, and a wild idea that I had.

http://huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2094934&mpage=1&key=suppressors& amp;#2094934

...and then there was this (embarrassingly bad) drawing that I made..





Anyway, someone must have been listening and taking notes.









I'm totally a visionary.

Just think you could have been rich:D

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

ummm.... no.



In other news: I was recently voted "Most Awesome Guy in the World" and "Sexiest Man Alive" by a 3-personpanel consisting of myself, myself and myself.

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

You have all the ideas. I missed this the 1st go around, how do those work? does the whole arm give?

You could be like that info mercial guy that pimps everything.

Fran .... did you start that book yet? :D:D:DI want the first copy!

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

You know, I gotta say that new bow looks like a great hunting bow.......

Here is the Title

Fran

A man about himself, for himself, and who loves himself.

Tell us Fran is it hard being this great[8D]

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

LOL!!! Fran I do remember that thread. That new bear is a wild looking bow. But why in gods name did they have to mess it up with that black rubbery looking grip. If you gonna build a nice bow, put a decent looking grip on it.

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Not hard at all. For some people, it just comes naturally. Take Winston Churchill for example. He was a guy who obviously modeled himself after me. Same thing with Brad Pitt.

Chris - I think the grip is cool. Not a fan of the rubber though. Seems like a tacky grip would be "torquey" to shoot. While that bow is probably slower than Molasses in wintertime, it's probably a very good shooter, smooth and shock-free.

Ryan - nothing earth shattering. Just two STS units placed equidistant from the nockpoint to provide a symmetrical cushion for the string. Just in terms of harmonics, I think this is the cat's meow. In the thread above, I was whining b/c most bows are only tapped for an STS unit below the nockpoint. They should be tapped both above and below.

How could anyone forget such great artwork.:eek:LOL! Yes I do remember and it sure looks like Bear Archery remembered too.

Your just a regular olé Nostradamus aren't ya.:D

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

J - looks like you're gonna have to return that Fred Bear bow and upgrade to thenew & improvededition. j/k buddy.

Not to change the subject, but are you using some kind of Mexican keyboard? Mine doesn't have theé button. (I cut and pasted that).

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

That is a HOT looking bow, go Bear!

If you hold down the ALT key and type in numbers ÿ(alt152), ê(alt136) you can get the ascii characters.

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

I like the look and design. But for some reason that cable slide setup bugs me. I'm so used to seeing the cables on the outside of the cable guard.

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

That kind a geneious teem three teen is a lookin fer!

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Fran,


I instantly thought of you and that thread when I first saw those bows last week.

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

I'd file for patent infringement... or intellectual property invasion... or body invasion... Wait, did they steal that movie title from you, too? [:-]

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

After playing with a few doubles I feel like they are overkill. I'll save the weight;)

Dan

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Well have played with a few doubles ;)

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Maybe they did a body cavity search on you while you were sleeping.
Seriously, they would have been engineering this and testing it way before you posted in April, to have them manufactured and on the market already.
As an example, I invented the notion of foam filled atv and excavation equipment tires whenI was a teenager, only to find out when pursuing the invention that it was already being done. I think this was the same kind of thing in your case. Sorry.
Like me, you had your shot, but someone else pulled the trigger. Similar to Alexander Graham Bell and that other guy, what was his name?

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Quick,

The Bear is my backup bow...I'm hunting with a Mathews Switchback LD........it also has two built in string suppressors.;)

As far as that olé is concerned, you give me too much credit... I just wanted a simple ole as in "old" but I guess I must have changed it with the spell check somehow when I was checking my spelling for Nostradamus. :D:D

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Hey that drawing looks like cookie monster :D

RE: Excuse me while I toot my own horn
 

Man I cant wait to get my hands on this bow!! I hope it shoots as sweet as it looks!!
