I'll guess the "ture benefits" are more accuracy and forgiveness with a deflex riser geometry and less limb torque.
Sure hope they are cranking them out by the hundreds NOW!!

I haven't posted on here in quite a while. Been hovering, but thats about it. However, this surely got my attention. This design, while I see its benefits is gonna be tough for me to except!
I thought Hoyt had funkiest riser covered....they better step up.
Just by observing the photo, it appears that back truss has a pivot pin in it. To me, something to rattle loose and make noise over time. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Is this Bowtechs way of addressing the so called limb issues that so many faithful have been denying? Who knows? I'll definitely shoot one when I get a chance. I'm kinda kicking the idea around of unloading my 05 Allegiance for a shiney new model. I'm hoping 07 gives us a smoother E cam.

Call me stupid, blind, or what-ever.. I do not care, but I actually am intreagued and really like the looks of that bow.
I am not that tech savy, and I may be seeing things that are not in the picture, But it looks like some type of adjustments along the limbs, and just visualizing a little it seems that if a couple of things are how they looked to me, then you can break that bow completely down..... never needing a bow press of any kind.Dead level nock travel. Long brace height. Zero shock. Past parallel limbs.
Am I just stupid or hallucinating too?
I have the feeling that this is either going to cost me big time repayment to the wife, or else I'm gonna be announcing my divorce after I buy one.

I don't see any more metal than any other long riser/parallel limb bow. I don't see it weighing in more than anything else out there in the popular hunting bows that are out there.

It seems to me that maybe, possibly the poundage could be changed w/o cam change. It appears that the two inner limbs are moveable along the limb maybe changing poundage easily. Notice no limb pockets with poundage screw. Hence longer draw lengths = longer ata.
Just a thought!

Just casually looking at the picture, it seems the pivoting arm in the center of the limbs will strengthen and give more support to the limbs while minimilizing limb twist and at the same time give more cast. No specs yet, but I am guessing this bow is smokin fast? I may give it a trial, just hope its not too dang expensive.
Whatever, you are going to have to pry my cold, dead fingers from my Patriot

Heck i'm no engineer either...but it looks like the "inner Riser Arms" may act as a built in STS for the limbs, making it very silent and shock free... and the brace height looks very forgiving...but then again what the heck do i know...
