Jeff,
Not sure what exact material they made the flex guard out of, but my guess would be a composite material that you could control the deflection rate on very accurately, but that's just a guess.

I also might mention that the grip on the Destroyer which is new feels very good, and should be well accepted by the majority of shooters. Nice and slim, with good square edges on the back.

That said, I may change mine anyway, but it will have more to do with personalizing the bow than anything else.

It's the Harley rider that comes out in me. I just have to make it mine!

Thanks Dan- I figured it would be like a "mini" limb (the flex guard)- fiberglass maybe...or a good percentage of it?? we shall see. Maybe they could get Barnesdale to make them?


Is the Destroyer grip square like the Ross Carnivore bows? (which Is a feel I do not like) or maybe more square like the Air Raid? (which I do care for)

While the grip is all it's own. I would compare it more to the Air Raid than I would the Carnivore.
I think BowTech's New HardCore Limb will set a New Standard in limb design & construction, and I think the materials used in the Flex guard will not take near the stress the limbs will. I am sure they are up to the task at hand.

Not to take anything away from Barnsdale limbs as they are definitely in the top 3 in my Book.

Here's a link to another review!

I'm betting most reviews will be very favorable on the Destroyer.

Default squared grip

Dan, when you're talking about the squared back of the grip, is it like the old tomkat's grip or the diamond's.
Cuz for me that's a big reason not to buy one.
I'll need to get my hands on one before I buy one, for sure.

Nope it's different. Like I said I think the grip will be widely accepted.

Heh.. I was totally kidding- Just amused me to imagine a tiny little laminated barnsdale flexguard.
