Default Limbsaver...

Looking at a few bows, and was wondering if anyone has shot the new limbsaver bow recently? If so, likes and dislikes? and has anyone heard of a sale price? I cant find anything on how much this thing cost. I like there products, just wondering how one of there bows would turn out.

I haven't shot it, but have seen it on video. The claims are the it is extremely fast. It is definitely "unique" looking.

looks like a good bow, but haven't shot it. I think that I will stick with my mathews. it is really dependable.

I'm sorry if I change the question of this post, but since bows are the subject. Has anyone shot the Bear "Truth" bow. And is it worth a hoot? Bobs in Longview are selling the 07 models for $399.00 with a regular price of $599.00. Sounds like a good deal, but is it a quality bow?

Havent shot the Limbsaver bow yet... I would like to shoot it just to see how it handles. Looks like it has short limbs, short brace height so I am sure it's pretty radical when shot.

Its a quick bow and is decent on the draw cycle. I would say it draws relatively similar to the Hoyt Katera with the same speeds as well. The handle is different but not terrible(diff. though) Hand shock is minimal as it is with most bows now days. Sound on it was rough and I shouldnt say that because I have only shot 1 so far with no others to compare it to but I could not get the distinctive CRACk out of it. I would not be scared to hunt with one other than the noise. I just hope they arent all like that.

I shot one and liked it. Hand shock was very minimal and seemed very quite to me. I shoot a mathew drenalin and it was quieter than my bow. With that said I'm sticking with my Dren.

i shot our reps bow in the shop and it shot fine, kinda heavy and not the greatest looking bow. its not god enough to make me give up my longbow. i think the mathews s2 is the best shooting compound bow right now.

I haven't shot it but I liked the grip and it had a really smooth draw cycle.
