2008 Bows: What to expect?
I know we still have another 5 months or so, but so do we with hunting season. So the question is: What should we expect in 2008 from the major bow manufacturers?
We all know what came out in 2007. Some of the major changes included: Bowtech changed to a limb-pivot design. Mathews went with thinner and stronger limbs. Hoyt with smooth Vectrix Cams. PSE with X-Force Speed...etc
What should we expect? Do you think we'll see any new revolutionary changes?

Bowtech is supposidly coming out with a bow that attracts 140" bucks, makes them stop at 20 yards, shoots them for you (double lung), guts them out, and drags them to camp. I don't know how their going to do it, but I knew there was a reason they are the best best bow company on the market.

I don't know that the Vectrix could be any better! There's the best and there's all the rest.

Okay, I don't know for sure but I'm thinking some bows that are lighter, as in weight. That's my hope anyway.

A bow with a switch near the grip which if flipped locks the bow into full draw (very, very low let off),
flip the switch back and you have regular let off tension.
For all you doubters, it has a stem sticking out to hold the string in place (about 1" to the side of path of string) so it doesn't go slack.
It is designed to minimize your draw movement. Pull string off stem, flip switch, and you are ready to shoot.
I have my sources.

x2 Irrelevant for me as ill keep my bow for several years, but my ONLY complaint is the weight of the bow. i guess more speed is always good too.
