Yeah the main reason I bought the Barnett Banshees was ( apart from the price) the nylon coated steel wire string instead of Dacron, it must be more durable I guess in a survival situation with perhaps a dacron string wrapped on the riser as an emergy back up should the wire fail ?? just thinking aloud.

Another grovelling suggestion but hows about a FAMILY friendly version rated at a more multi functional 30 to 35 pound draw so the one boy can be used by the ladies and the youngsters as well.

Hmmm now my own brain is firing on both cells I've just thought of a design that only has ONE pivot point / hinge and then the design can be brough under the magical 4 ft or even possiby 1 meter. Wish I was an engineer so i could work out the practicalities of the design.

Now another idea, I can think of a design that has no moving or hinged parts and only two pieces !!! probably impractical because of silly engineering constraints.
