Looks like a whole lot of fun! I believe tin can season starts today.
Raptor X - double string steel ball shooting bow
I reviewed the Raptor bow before. It is (was) a rubber powered bow that shoots steel balls, quite fast actually - almost 150 m/s (about 480 fps) with a 10 mm steel ball.
But the rubber was a weakness - there is wear on it, and also there is the issue of the temperature dependency. So the designers at Shoottech converted it to composite limbs, making it the world's one and only steel ball shooting compound bow!
It is adjustable between 50 and 80 pounds of a draw force, and truly accurate. The peep sights are great.
I think it is amazing how they mastered the secret of making a bow that can handle "arrows" (should have said "projectiles") weighing under four grams... but it works.

Anyone seen this?
It's says it will send 12mm balls to 370fps and has a IBO of 310 fps.
It's sold on ebay and seems to be named Nightblade.
