In 1976 we discontinued the bow in order to lisence with Allen to produce the standard compound when we bought Howatt Archery. The Kam Act did not fall under the scope of the Allen Patent. Since then we have worked on different designs to produce a new bow with no cams. The 2008 line will include a new bow that has no cams in the limbs as well as many other features. It will also have over 30 pound adustment range.The first half of 2007 has been a record year for us with an increase of 25% in sales. It has been a busy time. We thank you all for the interest and support. __________________ I started Archery History and Archery Talk to give archers a good true source of information, to have archers ask and answer questions and solve problems, and to see many of the bows and ideas from the past.

Sounds like another freakcurve to me.:noidea: "I started Archery History and Archery Talk to give archers a good true source of information, to have archers ask and answer questions and solve problems, and to see many of the bows and ideas from the past.

thats his signature I'm pretty sure. Very possible that it is a Oneida "knock off" then again after looking at the Sims bow, and this it sounds like there is a lot of intrest in moving to the "next big thing" and since patents expire after 20 years we may start seeing a lot of the old designs coming back into play only with signfigantly improved features due to technological advances :rockon:
I have something thats been bugging me......why does everyone say that MONSTER bows are new and hot and this and that......are they not a Oneida knock off???:noidea:
Did Oneida make a camless? I thought they had cams. The pics I seen of Monsterbows don't have any. :noidea:
I think they basically "tweak" a Oneida and possibly update one or 2 pieces. By doing this they greatly improve the performance while keeping the insanely smooth draw that Onieda is known for... I've never shot one but I've yet to hear anything negative about a Onienda
This was on AT also.... Only the outboard limbs are similar to an Oneida....nothing else! Monsterbows have less in common with Oneida than any other two manufacturers out there. The Monster Bow uses a shoot-thru cable system, 8.5+ brace height, 70 to 95% adjustable let-off, 26.5-31.5" draw adjustment with no modules, no bow press needed, and NO CAMS
Here is yore first one ..... They fall apart. Usely start ta loosening up. I have never heard anything that good about them. a friend bought one amidst my protest 6 yrs ago and yup it did just what i told him. Hate ta pop yore bubble Dred.
yeah I meant Monster, sorry. I've heard a lot of issues with the "loosening" is how they term for it I think.
The ole "that is a knock off" thing is a pointless argument. Everything is a "knock off" of the original something.:biggrin1:
