    I've seen one before. My local shop got a couple in to see how they would sell. I don't think they were to popular because they didn't get anymore.

    I used to work for a shop that was the #1 seller of Liberty bows a few years ago. I've got a lot of experience shooting them and working on them.

    They are a short ATA bow and like all other short bows they can be prone to derailing if you torque the riser hard. They are also very sensitive to hand position because the geometry of the bow is so extreme. With that said, I was easily able to hold baseball sized groups at 30 yards with it and it's a fantastic short range hunting bow for those that are going to shoot at things 30 yards and under. I kinda wish I still had one for hunting out of ground blinds.

    Thanks Rick. So...in your opinion it is great for certain situations, but maybe not a primary bow?
