Sure it looks ugly now, but just wait. It and others like it will become beautiful in the eyes of many. Each year, bow design takes another steip towards the hard-on-the-eyes tech look. It's gotten so bad, that most have to have been shooting for over 20 years to appreciate the beauty of curves and smooth lines on bows. Most bows have become butt ugly in my opinion. Too angular and those crappy looking parallel limbs don't help. Fortunately, there are still a few compound bows that haven't gone to the straight-lines, hard angle look. Those will be the ones I'll choose from.

Bladerunner.

I was going to laugh and picked it up thinking it would be a joke. It's for real though.

26-28"ata, 30-70lbs (all with same limbs) 25-31" modular draw, holds steady like a rock, is very quiet, never needs a bowpress (ever) and shoots straight.




It'll probably never sell but it IS pretty cool and it shoots great.

Somebody posted that before... I still think it looks like... A Mathews and Onieda were left together for the weekend during the rut, but without a chaperone.

LOL@ArthurP
I would think you would need an engineers degree just to change the string.[&:]

I heard they time the same way an Oneida does...system is Identical in function, it's stationary and keeps the cams in time. Someone I talk to has shot this bow, and says its virtually shock free, and a buttload quieter than an Oneida. Apparently others are seeing the advantages to the design of the Oneida power system.

Hmmm....Thats interesting. Because Ive been told that my 10 YEAR OLD Oneida was very quiet. If it wasnt for the string twang, I would barely know I even shot an arrow.


/hates STUPID remarks like that.
