RE: No contest, the Moon bow is the most interesting Hunting Bow.
Most interesting new hunting bow to me has to be the new Moon bow discussed at Archery Talk.
It is made from a milled 85lb block of aluminum and is supposed to be extremely flex resistant and hell for strong.
It will have superb Ultra Carbon Barnsdale limbs and other top components.
It's supposed to have a World War II anodized Type 3 Ultra Hard Coat finish that rates 90 on Rockwell scale.
Dipped finishes are a joke, compared to this finish !
Type 3 finish is so hard, you can draw a file across it and leave dust from the file to wipe off the bow !
No hunting bow on the planet is half as interesting as this bow !!!
Don't know if I would pay $2,000.00 for one but it sure is interesting.

I damn near spit coffee all over my keyboard when I read your infomercial.

RE: No contest, the Moon bow is the most interesting Hunting Bow.
I don't think it was an infomercial myself....I have followed some news about that bow with interest as well. I'll never buy one, myself, as now matter what it says a 40+"ATA bow is too long for my style of hunting and location but the guy really seems to know his stuff, done a lot of research and is trying to do one thing and one thing only....
Make the most dependable, rugged and durable, accurate and maitenance free bow possible. Of course the $ will reflect that and it's waaaay out of my range but for a guy that buys 3-4 bows for a lifetime or the collector or....Sagg
...it may be an groundbreaker.
That being said....the Allegiance looks smokin' to me with all the attributes that fit my personal specs...
34-36" brace
7+ brace
315+IBO
ease of tune and a string that doesn't suck
flat back grip
and the quality assurance of Bowtech's customer support.
To quote the cliche...can't touch this
Does the Saber have the machined Alum or is it the cast stuff from the ultra mag etc??

Bowfanatic,
Glad you got a laugh but I was quite serious.
I'm not getting a dime for the information or a discount on the bow.
To me, it will be one hell of a bow.
The price may be dropped somewhat before it's released.
If I didn't already own 3 Accu-Risers and a couple Merlins, I would probably buy one.
It is, imo, without doubt, the most interesting new bow on the horizon.

RE: No contest, the Moon bow is the most interesting Hunting Bow.
I've had several conversations with Jim, the guy making the bow, and he definitely knows his way around a bow. What many fail to realize is that it isn't his goal to become the next mathews or bowtech, but to produce the absolute best bow possible as a culmination of his years in building/tuning/frankensteining the ultimate hunting bow.
If he ever produces one in the ATA range I prefer, I'd give it a hard look, as it should easily last one a lifetime.

Sorry Sag , I wasn't implying anything , it just came across as funny to me.
I think it was the way you wrote it. I'd bet you could sell a ketchup popsicle to a bride in a white dress.

RE: No contest, the Moon bow is the most interesting Hunting Bow.
Bowfanatic,
Yeah, I'm a pretty good salesman but a ketchup popsicle ? [:'(]
I have helped Stewart sell quite a few Accu-Risers over the years and steered a few Merlin fans to my old pal Pinwheel 12.
Maybe I go overboard on the details but when I believe in a product, I study it from top to bottom and find out all I can about it.
Actually, could have told a lot more about the Moon bow.
But the full story is available at AT for those interested further.

RE: No contest, the Moon bow is the most interesting Hunting Bow.
The best looking hunting bows I've seen for 05 are the Allegiance, Defender, and Old Glory. These offer the newest technology when it comes to the cams, and they're built on proven risers. Coming from BowTech, you know these bows are going to be true performers, no matter which one you choose. The speed looks good, and all 3 bows seem like they would be very forgiving and accurate as long as you do your part. I mentioned all 3 bows because some like shorter hunting bows, while others like mid-length bows, and other people like long bows.
Now that my "infomercial" is over, good shooting to all.
