Hi.
I am still out for one of these bows from Monster Bows - I like the Phoenix a lot. But I am waiting for an approximate price for making such a bow, with a wooden riser and wooden limbs - Monster Bows are very interested in such a project and they are working on it to see what the price level would be.
But I still have one main concern with these bows - the shoot through cables. I think they would touch the bow arm all the time - especially if you try to make the correct form, where you get the line of the string as close as possible to the bow arm (from this Australian article about biomechanics). But on the other hand, if it was made so the cables crosses from on side to another, as they go from powerlimb to outback limb, then they would probably be in the way for the arrow. And then also one would have 4 cables crossing each other...
Another thing: Are the cables sliding against each other? I see nothing that keeps the crossing cables apart. And they doesn't seem to have any serving at this point.
