RE: My vote for ugliest bow
That one's a Storm. I read on AT where one of the techs from the company was explaining how the bow was supposed to work. Notice the top limb is longer than the bottom one, as well as the power cam being on the top. There supposedly is a very sound technical reason for doing this.
Either that, or they had too many left handed cams and too many different length limbs they needed to use up![8D]

I think 500fps hit it....
I think you could sell this bow if you could get people to shoot it. When you shoot it, your suprised. I know I was.But nobody's going to drop $749 and buy it over the internet or from a catalog.

Actually, I sold the bow to my ex-brother in law. I shot fingers, which I did with that bow also, so I thought it would be a good one for him. I did like the bow and shot very well with it. I actually plan on buying it back for a bow fishing rig. It draws super easy but it's one downfall was it was loud comparitively speaking.

RE: My vote for ugliest bow
My vote goes to the new Hoyt TurboTec in the "Flame(r)" colorscheme.
I couldn't imagine what kind of attention-starved red-headed stepchild would want one, but something tells me that at least one of these models has been made/sold and is being used by somebody who thinks it's a hot rod.
Whatever in god's name convinced the otherwise sensible people at hoyt to mass-produce a bow with flames shooting out of the riser is beyond me, but nonetheless, I hope for all of our sake that this madness comes to an abrupt halt.
Somebody please post a picture for me.

How bout this baby for the ugliest bow contest?
Granted, I have never shot one of these. They may be the best shooting bow ever developed, but gawd! That thing is just butt ugly.

RE: My vote for ugliest bow
I think if someone would really try, they could do better than that. Can't we have a riser that is pretty much just a sight window and a grip. Maybe with 60 degree limb pockets. Yeah, that's the ticket. 16" ATA! Sign me up![8D]
