Okay for you I'll shoot one if I see one. But not making any special trip just to do it. If I do I'll tell you my opinion.
It's a bowhunting discussion forum. That's what is supposed to happen. Put your big boy pants on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Would never use it to hunt. Having said that, I think it would be great for bowfishing or taking it to a 3d course to see how many funny looks you'd get. 1200 is a bit much, though.
I totally agree $1200 is too much. They are going to need to reduce that cost to have a chance IMO. Why are you so quick to dismiss hunting with it?
Still unsure if it will take hold because other companies have tried this. I don't have a legit reason. Just have a built in view of how bows should look. Much like the guy that likes to use Traditional because it's aesthetically pleasing.
If I shot it well and wanted a new bow I wouldn't dismiss it. I would judge it like I do all the other bows I try before buying. If I liked it the best that little thing would slay some deer for sure! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Agreed. As proven in this thread this company has a major stereotype to overcome and I'm not sure it will happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I really don't the advantage of having a bow that's shorter than your arrows? Plus it looks like it would be awkward to carry through the woods etc
As with anything, something that is new and different always see's resistance from the majority. I've been following these bows for a while, mostly out of curiosity. I think it's an interesting concept and if it performed equally to other flagship bows then really it's just about preference. I can see advantages for the extremely short ATA for hunting out of a ground blind or even for spot and stalk. There were a huge number of people that resisted the idea of the dual cam's on the Prime bows. It was a new concept and those people just dismissed it as a gimmick, but as time has proven out, it's a very good system. People tend to resist change, so sometimes it just takes time to prove out a concept.
Very interesting. You can switch it from right to left handed with just 3 bolts, you can mount a GoPro camera between the risers, and the sight is protected between the risers. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't shoot it since I still use a fur finger tab and the only way to extend the draw is the long d-loop. If I had the need for something like this I would gladly use a release. Very interesting though, I could see this being a hiking pack and go bow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTUX0kJkkxU
I just checked the site out and noticed it said 350 grain arrow shoots 285 fps. I don't know the draw length though.
The idea of a super long d loop does not appeal to me neither does a complete change in shooting technique with the anchor point, and low light with the peep so far away, too many compromises to consider. I don't ground blind hunt, and don't need to pack my bow.
Holy cow. An actual good point by sota. The peep being far away I could see being an issue in low light. The way the bows were set up that I shot the d loops were normal Length. It was just a really long release specially set up for that bow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is for crossbow guys that haven't come fully out of the closet and admitted they are cheaters and gun hunters in disguise
I also can't see a bow that's shorter than your arrows. 1200$? Really gearhead? Good luck selling those. I too just cannot see this holding a group past 25 yards.
Maybe little people designed them:p interesting but dont see the point of a bow like that and definitely wouldn't pay 1200!!!
Forward energy is derived from power stroke... So if a bow this short with such a small draw length supposedly hits 320fps, what's that draw cycle feel like? Makes me cringe just thinking about it. Not to mention no stability, no true anchor point since there is no string angle back at your face where it matters, and the peep is way far away. And it is too expensive. As for the comment about a short bow like this being good for bowfishing, it's actually the opposite. The longer the better, my Osprey is 44.5" tip to tip and i've shot even longer. Finger shooters need less string angle to shoot comfortably without pinch.
