That's really impressive. Very quiet, the speed' my goodness 10fps faster than HEX6's! I could tell they did not want to put the bow down, even in the subzero temps. They also did not look like they were pulling 55lbs. You folks at Borders are to be congradualated. That's one fine bow. Have you figured out if the HEX7 can be used on any ILF or formula target risers, or is the geometry wrong?
ah... let me see if i can explain some of our thinking.
these low BHs give us all sorts of issues designing the bow for short risers.
if you look at the vid, at 6.5" BH and tall fletch off the shelf, they were not using arm guards.
so 6.5" of clearance should be fine!
we can set the limbs are up for long risers. but ILF being ILF means it also needs to fit shorter risers.
this isnt going to work with low deflex risers.
but we can see ILF working well with the longer riser.
have a look at the where the string lifts off the limb at brace, you can see it lifts where the radii changes on the limb...
to get this location you need to get the preload right, miss this and the limbs loose the design remit.
This tighter radii is part key the design.
if we cant get this to work on ILF then we have issues...
if we can get it to happen, then its a case of looking at the repercussions for the short riser comunity.
short risers means lower BH, and if we are getting 25" risers to settle out at 6.5" then the short risers will be closer to 5.5" and thats not going to happen.
so the higher BH on the shorter riser will mean a string lift point thats all wrong for the covert hunter...
