I checked their website earlier today. The bow is 20" ATA. Did anybody notice that it doesn't have a cable slide or rod? Good ole shoot-through cable system if I'm seeing it right.

You'd have to have a string loop. You couldnt fit a release and arrow on the string with that kind of pinch. [:'(]

It's not very attractive, however when you all but eliminate the riser, it shows a lot of innovation. I would imagine it would be difficult to tame the vibration and recoil in such a bow.

By the way, that's too much reflex for Arthur.

I was wondering why my ears were burnin'...[>:]

Dunno what the big deal is. Bows have been getting shorter and uglier every year for ages now. This design is just slightly ahead of it's time. I'd be willing to bet this is what all bows will look like in another 5-10 years. Just think of the reduction in materials costs and of the manufacturers' profit margins when they can eliminate the riser - and keep charging the same prices as they would for a complete bow!

But then, making a short, split limb bow without an actual riser isn't exactly a new idea...

I see they mention Dave Barnsdale in their ad-

I'll have to ask Dave about this bow, I talk with Dave quite often.

I just love the responses. This one is sure to create an uproar. The shoot-through system caught my eye as well.......and that peep sight location has to be tricky.

Looking at the grip i was wondering if you could modify it to act as a swivel thereby eliminating any torque. Just an idea.

They missed a big market when they only made it right handed. It's short enough to shoot sitting in the cab of a pick-up!
All the illegal road hunters would want one in left hand.[:'(]

It might be fun to play with if it were a lot cheaper, at least under $300
