Caught this on another site over the weekend. Today they posted video's up discussing it.
Through the other site, there's alot of positive feedback on this thing with several first hand experiences. Developed in some little archery shot in Georgia I guess.
Doesn't look like much and I have no idea about the effects on let-off and what not, but it does look promissing.

Not sure if it's good or bad, works or doesn't. Looks to me like you are just fixing the cables to one spot and running them thru a set of rollers instead of letting them slide back towards the archer. Nothing that my Mathews isn't already doing. No thanks. I will wait to see how it plays out and if it's good then I might look into one for my daughters Parker Micro Phoenix since it does have a cable rod and she is shooting 45# with a 21.5 inch draw.

You are basically just keeping the cables in a fixed position, causing an increase in draw weight and length, which gives more speed.

I'm generally pretty pesimistic when it comes to things like this, so I'm not trying to promote it at all. But I do like the sounds of it.
And according to some first hand accounts it increased the poundage of his bow by 1.5 lbs. Others were between a 1-2lbs. And the draw length was affected by less than an 1/8".
On their website they claim little to no increase in either.
Pretty obvious that it won't ever go anywhere if it's changing draw lengths by 1-2" and a drastic increase in poundage.

I went by the shop where this thing was invented and saw a first hand demonstration. It is very impressive, simple and quick to install. The owner shot his hoyt thru the crono before and after and it went from 316 to 340. I am also interested but would like to see if there are any long term effects to the bows limbs. I don't know but it would have to put more stress on the limbs i would think.

there is no way in ____ that I would put this thing on my bow (if I had one with a cable slide that is). The extra stress on the limbs, cams, axles, and not to mention the carbon cable slide will have adverse affects on the bow. Those cable slides aren't built to take any force except the slide sliding on them...
