Let me know your opinion. I think they look sweet especially for the high country and hiking. Sorry I posted the wrong link I fixed it.

Post by: DIYARCHERYJUNKIE on May 18, 2012, 12:41:01 PM: Yeah pistol grip. They are legal to hunt aw with correct? A video I saw on you tube showed 284 fps at 70# the link show they sell an eighty pound and customize it to the gills. I'll post the you tube link.

Have you shot one? The website boasts no hand shock at all. Just curious if you've actually shot one or are assuming hand shock is bad due to the short axle to axle length.

Post by: DIYARCHERYJUNKIE on May 22, 2012, 07:07:11 AM: Hand shock is weakness leaving your body. The 80# should have some knock down power and the let off is what sold me. easier on the arms to draw lots of weight and only have to hold a little.

Post by: coachcw on May 25, 2012, 08:01:39 AM: I have one 60% letr off 70lbs 280fps with a 440 ish arrow . the only problem is they have a ton of hand torque and you must grip the bow hard. only enough sight window for three pins . good bow out to fourty or so.
