Unlike traditional bows that use the tension of a string this design is based on pneumatics.

It has a pre-charged pneumatic cylinder that gives several consecutive full power cycles and is simple to load and cock for quick follow-up shots. The hollow-core arrows allow the compressed air to pull them from the front, instead of pushing from behind with a string, eliminating the flex and wobble in the first part of a traditional arrow’s flight.

Its 375-grain arrows deliver up to 300 foot-pounds of energy.
