It was a funny picture without a doubt but it is obvious some of you really need to go to www.archeryhistory.com to find out just how many of todays design were started YEARS ago and not by the companies that use them today.

Most of the innovations and new designs we have seen in the last 20 years are direct results of folks trying to get around paying Rex Darlington royalties. And even at that... he still gets them from quite a few of the big names.

Where did PSE ,martin, parker etc. get the idea for all those single cam bows they make?

The xforce is a split limb bow

Can I say they all started off with round wheels. So the cam design was inevitable. I dont think matthews was the first. So I think matthews doesnt deserve all the hype. The roller guard wasnt even created by matthews. So they took it from someone else.
