Read below! CAMO - RealTree Hardwoods High Definition Green Design History The original intent was to make a very small light weight complete hunting package. A bow with 4 arrows that I could hook onto my backpack and not even feel it. A complete small bow kit that I could put into the corner of my car trunk. In many ways this goal was met with some positive surprises along the way. I will go through the various parts of the design and how they satisfy this goal. One of the most enjoyable surpises was the human energy expenditure, so I will cover it briefly first. Human Energy: We had Physiological energy consultant calculate the energy expended while shooting the Liberty I as compared to a lower let-off bow. His result was that shooting a 70 lb Liberty I bow consumed the same energy as shooting a 60.56 lb competitors bow. Assumptions: 2 sec draw, 5 sec holding time. The benefits from this are plentiful; you can enjoy the speed and not get tired, spend more time at the range enjoying your favorite sport, much less hand shake (therefore more accurate), and to hold at full draw longer until animal is in the clear. RISER: We made a investment cast A357-T6 aluminum riser that is very strong (used for jet impeller blades) and got the riser close to 1/2 lb. With the &quot;A&quot; frame structure that the separated limbs make, you have a wide 3 point architecture for the top and bottom set that is very stable. This limb configuration twists the limbs during draw, adding rotational stored energy. CAMS: To make a very short bow most of the string must be in the cams. This means that the cams must be quite large. There were two unexpected results from the prototypes; first, the large cam increased the leverage at full draw greatly decreasing the holding weight, second, the large cam had amazing speed. Typically, when you have a low holding weight you loose a lot of speed. It was possible to increase the holding weight to that of other bows and have an extremely fast bow or to keep the low holding weight.Tested against other fast bows (even with the low holding weight) we beat them. A possibly third unexpected result was that for heavy arrows the Liberty I was extremely fast. Limbs: Are made of carbon composite core laminated with Ultra S on the outside and Bow Tuff on the inside. This combination provides the limb integrity for the amount of bending. Cables: The manufacturers of cables cannot make extremely accurate cables. The only solution was to make adjustable cable heads. With 6-32 threads it means that one turn is 1/32&quot; or .03125&quot;. We found that as little as 1/8 of a turn makes a big difference when setting the timing of the cams. First we adjust the cables so that the cam is not tilted, then we mark the cable head and turn each head equally to getn perfect timing. If you use a Peep sight: Because the bow is so short the string angle puts the peep far up the string. A special peep was made to accommodate the string angle (3 sizes), which can be purchased with the bow. Or better yet, use a No Peep. buktruk Mon, 16 May 2005 01:31:36 -0400 Eraticator 8.5X25X50 Rifle Scope http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php?product=133 <a href="http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php?product=133" target="_blank"><img title="38eraticator.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/reviewpost/data/6/thumbs/38eraticator.jpg" alt="38eraticator.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: Hunter333<br /><br />Description: Mueller Eraticator 8.5x25x50 Rifle Scope 8.5x25x50 Eraticator Review Part 1 Mueller Optics was gracious enough to send me their new 8.5x25x50 Eraticator to try out on my Marlin bolt-action 30-06 deer rifle. When I took the old Bushel 4x10x50 scope off my rifle, I instantly realized one major difference between it and the Eradicator. There was a distinct difference in weight. The Bushnel felt light and cheap compared to the Eraticator. The next obvious difference was the huge increase in field ocular lens. The Eraticator has a circle view while the Bushel has a TV screen view. The next day I eagerly headed to the range wearing my warmest clothes as it was about 20 degrees outside with a slight wind from the north. As I got ready to take some shots, I was pleasantly surprised how clear the view through the Eraticator is! The scope and gun had been in the house all night and even with the outside temperatures in the low 20’s the scope never fogged over!! With the gun resting on sandbags, I removed the turret covers to reveal two large, easily adjustable windage and elevation mechanisms. I began to squeeze off some shots and sighted it in at 50 yards after eight shots. I cranked up the adjustable objective to 100 yards and took three shots with all of them being on center without making any elevation alterations on the scope. Desiring to see how the scope performed at 200 yards I clicked the elevation turret up 24 clicks which equaled three inches. The rifle was hitting orange clays that someone had left on the 200 yard bank after three shots. After shooting about 50 rounds, the Eraticator never moved from it’s mounted position. I had wondered if the scope would do well on my somewhat heavy kicking 06’ and it did not let me down, being rock solid. The optics are clearer than any scope that I have ever looked through. Period! I do not see the need to purchase a high priced scope; the moderately priced Eraticator is perfect for my needs! I look forward to the next time I can get out shooting where I will be checking on the scopes ability to hold zero both on the gun as well as after removing it from the gun and remounting it. Stay tuned for review Part 2, you won’t be disappointed!!

This is great news for bowhunters - men or women - who shoot lower-poundage bow setups and have been frustrated with the standard broadheads and their lack of performance in the field. The HyperShock broadhead is for you. You can now - more than ever - confidently hunt and harvest wild game with lower poundage bows. As for the high power bowhunter, the results are nothing short of incredible! In the reliability department, the HyperShock™ brings it to new levels. Aftershock refused to consider any design compromises due to cost. No amount of fancy marketing buzzwords are going to make great product. The HyperShock simply had to perform to specifications. The materials and processes utilized to manufacture this broadhead are state of the art. From the ultra-strong and light, fully machined billet Type 3S hard anodized 7075-T6 ferrule, to the proprietary curved edge .032” stainless blades that are hard, yet ductile to avoid breaking. The very special anodizing process yields a surface hardness of 65 R-C and is over 10 times thicker than regular anodizing. This special type 3S anodize also has much less of a coefficient of friction than its competition to aid its ability to pass through bone without grinding to a halt. Reliability in function was of paramount importance too. The HyperShock™ has three methods of blade deployment that work independently and in concert with each other to ensure the blades open in the game and not before. Even the center of gravity of the blades was designed to keep them shut when launched from a bow and aid in deployment after penetration. Although costly to manufacture, the HyperShock™ employs curved blades rather than straight. The engineers of the broadhead could not ignore the great benefit of having the cutting edge angle more acute the farther away from the ferrule it is. The blades are huge, so they needed to conserve precious kinetic energy when open. This also required that the blades needed to be curved to slice through tissue rather than to try and chop it. The HyperShock’s ability to conserve energy now allows for lower poundage bows to be used on game that was not suitable to hunt before. The same feature allows bigger game to be harvested with average or higher power bows. buktruk Wed, 25 Feb 2004 16:04:26 -0500 Justice VFT Compound Bow http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php?product=111 <a href="http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php?product=111" target="_blank"><img title="7663justice.bmp" border="0" src="http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/reviewpost/data/6/thumbs/7663justice.bmp" alt="7663justice.bmp" /></a><br /><br />by: buktruk<br /><br />Description: The Justice VFT is ideal for bowhunters seeking minimal clearance in those tight tree stand areas.

Join the revival and see the difference another 20 fps makes. * Vertical Force Technology was first introduced by BowTech in 2001. VFT transfers energy vertically, and equally, in opposite directions. The design effectively removes all recoil and hand shock from the riser.
