The last time I saw a tension-based projectile weapon this scary, it was when I posted this crossbow, attracting the ire of 2nd-amendment activists net-wide (my sarcasm apparently went undetected). This Hoyt bow, however, is perhaps even more impressive; it’s carbon fiber, tipping the scales at 3.8lb, and will launch an arrow at a buck-piercing 318 feet per second.

Mainly I’m just appreciative of the menacing yet compelling design. I’m not a big buck hunter, myself.
