I think it's a cool bow...

I kinda like it. I sure do miss having the inside poop on these things [:@]I have not read all the posts here, but from a casual look, IMO its just gonna be hellatiously easy to aim/steady without much need for stabilization, and its gonna have VERY LITTLE limb tip travel (and fatigue). This thing should be dead silent and havevery littlerecoil/vibe because the limbs are effectively about 6 " long from the looks of it. Not to mention much of the limb stress is gonna be taken up by the "pivot" (assuming it does in fact pivot...as it looks)
Pat, I don't have your email addy/phone numberanymore...shoot me one at [email protected] I'm in need of some "help" from you and possibly Jerid.
(sorry for the hi-jack folks..hope all is well)

The center pivot does not move, and is stationary for those who are wondering... However, the rest of Jeff's assumptions about the inherent advantages of the design are correct; I can't wait to get my hands on one of these babies!

Matt PA posted some pics on ArcheryTalk showing the Guardian and Tribute at full draw. If I was a limb, I would want to be a Guardian limb for sure!

(I know you hate that)...To be honest with you this design is incredible. I was forunate enough to shoot the early prototype as well as the finished product and it's very smooth, very fast and although I didn't shoot it at distance it seems likeit will be very forgiving since it has a deflex geometry. It holds different.
I'll send you an e-mail as soon as my e-mail is back up and running...(changed servers)

What do you want to know?
A to A, brace height, mass weight, available draw lengths, etc. This is the last thing I need to be looking at right now but............
