Think full containment and dropaway rests are hot new ideas? Think again.


#1 is a design by J.O. Lowell from 1940. #2 is by C.J. Cameron, 1931. #3 is W.H. Wright and G.L. Thorne, 1897. A fine example of old, failed technology that has been repackaged and presented as new and innovative. Gives traditional shooters something to pause and consider too, when they start in on what's traditional and what's not. Like the sights on # 2.

They all look like take down bows too

As a matter of fact, the ARE all takedowns.

Those rests were built in to the riser?Am i seeing that correctly?

Thats pretty cool Arthur. Thanks for the history lesson.

Even Hoyts tech riser wasn't started by Hoyt.






And Mathews wasn't the inventor of the 1 cam as many seem to believe.

Great stuff guys...
