Has anyone shot or seen this bow? What are your thoughts? Is this the wave of the future or is this a FAD that will pass faster than it's IBO of 308 fps? Anyone seen this in Utah or know where to test drive one?

Thats an ugly little bastardd. I don't like it, but thats just me. I'm afraid that will give road hunters even more reason to stay in the truck , can draw and shoot from the truck seat.UGLY UGLY UGLY....

That pos goes against every thing I have been taught in shooting bows. Short axle to axle, WB, and split limbs. I also wonder how many times the peep gets tore up in the cam.
No thanks!
 
Is it just me, or does this thing resemble a Sling Shot? I mean, I can understand the concept, but wouldnt the pistol grip create some New issues with Form and with the bow not having any riser; create some balance problems in the hand. It would also seem as though your broadhead selection would be limited; which may limit arrow length to accommodate certain broadhead sizes etc. and also your fletching would probably need to be adjusted as well. And if you were to see a Big 'Ol buck, wouldn't it be more of a headache to try and thread an arrow under the sight and through the riser and at an angle through your Whisker Biscuit and just cause even more panic?

There are so many limitations on this bow besides the above listed, that it really doesn't seem to give the fun of figuring out what works well for each individual. I just wouldn't be able to justify this. Since when does Art mean Function?

As an additional thing which doesn't say really anything about the bow, but to people who are so eager to the testaments of the people who are endorsing the product..... go to the below website and read and look at the pictures of the Buffalo.

Notice anything a little off? The Hunter stated that he killed the Buffalo with one shot yet in picture #3 you can clearly see two different arrows sticking out of the animal. Secondly, last time I checked; shooting a buffalo in a pen and hunting one; are two entirely different things.

This is just my 2? and it doesn't necessarily mean I believe the product is good or bad; just that I think there are a few too many limitations for my taste.

There was a guy up at the treasure mountain shoot last year that was demoing that little bow or one that looked a lot like it anyway. Cool looking little bugger but it didn't appear to be very accurate judging by the groups he was shooting. Might have been the shooter???
 
It is not all that accurate. I have shot it, and it requires the use of a release at all times, because the angle is just too sharp for fingers. It is incredibly lightweight, and so I found that it was pretty hard to shoot consistently tight groups.
Then there is the handle, for want of a better word, as there is not any riser as you all know. It is tilted out to the left if you're a righty, and too spongey for me. I was able to shoot it, because a gun guy let me shoot it. I mean to say he owns a gun store, and to him, that is the ideal bow made today. He looks at it, as some sort of carbine, for archery or something. At my full draw of 29.5 inches, I believe the included angle of the string is somewhere around 40 degrees. More of a novelty to my way of thinking.
