    Has anyone, or know of anyone who has ever used one of these Liberty 1 bows? Its small at 21 inches from Axel to Axel, 2.3lbs. It seems perfect for the type of hunts I can do. Please let me know if you have any info thank you

    I'd never heard of it until I read what you wrote. Watched two videos on Youtube about it and seems pretty interesting. The only draw back for me is it's max IBO at 308. I only have a 26.5 inch draw and shooting 57lb draw weight so I'm already at a disadvantage on speed. The videos I watched they took a hog and bear with it so it seems to do the job. I don't know how long they've been around but at a cost of $896.00, I don't think they will make a big impact on the current bow market. But the web site says a 20 day money back guarantee.

    I'm looking at buying a new bow after turkey season but I wouldn't consider purchasing this. Just my 2 cents...

    Checkout gearhead archery's bows. They have an 18, 20, and 24in bow. I shot them at the iowa deer classic yesterday and was surprised with how well they shot. The IBO's are 320 to 355. Pretty impressive little bow

    The gear head bows look cool, you said they shoot fairly well? Smooth quite? Etc. There a little high for being so small and buck naked?

    I have a TNT bow. 22" axle to axle. I used it mostly for bowfishing but have since switched it over as a hunting bow. It's a really nice little bow. Smooth, not squirrely. The only downside I see is that it's harder for me to be accurate with it at longer ranges (40 yards) because it's just so light. My significantly larger bowtech equalizer is heavy and long so it will sort of anchor itself for the shot. I have seen people do great at 3d shoots with the TNTs so it's more me than the bow. But there's a reason the target bows are big and bulky. ;)

    I bought mine at a show from the guy who owned the company at the time. I'll have to ask around and find out if the new owner is actually making bows.

    I think it's a little too strange for me to shoot, I like the longer axle to axle bows
