I'd like to try shooting one. With an 18" ATA you have to wonder how steady it holds. If it has a high let off it might be hard to stabilize.

They sure look cool though.

Checked out their website, pretty cool. There's a couple things that were unclear though. It says 320 fps at 25" so what is the IBO speed? Also are these supposed to be used with a bow site or do you aim instinctively?

There was a similar bow I saw a couple years ago (only online) but it was around the same size and set up and the grip reminded me of one of those high powered sling shots, I wonder if this is the same company revamped?

The video with the chick shooting shows it with a sight on it. Pics on the website show different sights on it too.

I think that is their attempt at making a listed speed comparable to ibo because the design makes it so you draw shorter than you normally would on a bow...if that makes sense...
I'd love to have one to play around with, but I'm certain the price will be more than I'd want to pay

Cool.

Wonder if having the arrow rest and sight in the middle like that makes it lighter? I could see a design like that being strong with less materials.
