To say crossbows have improved by leaps and bounds is a science-based understatement. A couple of decades ago, a crossbow shooting 250 feet per second was thought to be an unfair advantage. Today, crossbows produce more speed and energy, with less noise and more consistency. The modern crossbow has kept up with society. As people get busier, with more demands on their time, crossbows have become easier and more intuitive to shoot, use, and maintain. There has never been a better time to look at entering the horizontal bow market or upgrading to take advantage of new technologies and accessories.
TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT DO NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT
Research and development is an ongoing process for any crossbow manufacturer. Today’s engineering will produce new bows five or more years from now. The good news is that engineers have new and exciting tools to produce bows and components, test them, and ensure they will withstand the rigors North American hunters will put them through.
Computers measure torque, speed, noise, and stress and allow engineers to analyze every portion of the shot. In the past, a new crossbow would have to be built from scratch to test and determine strengths and weaknesses. Today, crossbows
