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.

I remember seeing these bows a couple years ago and wanted to try one, I think it would be cool to target shoot or maybe use for bow fishing  :dunno:   This is assuming it's the bow with a pistol grip looking thing(I can't see this picture in the link)

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.

Hand shock is awful.   I wouldn't hunt with one.  Fun to shoot but not very forgiving on longer shots. :twocents:

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.

There was a guy at one of our Silver Arrow Bowmen 3D shoots with one.. He loved it. Hunted with it and said it didn't have bad hand shock.  :dunno:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

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.
