Yea that's a pretty neat rig. It certainly has the ability to take down anything in Canada but I have my doubts as to how it will be legislated and classified for hunting. It may shoot a bolt or arrow but without a string and limbs I can't see it classified as a bow. An airgun would be more fitting regardless of the projectile and being under 500 fps no FAC would be required. But then it wouldn't meet the minimum requirements for big game hunting. However, seeing that is already legal in certain states for some game we can only hope that it makes it's way north eventually. Certainly would be a boon for those without the physical capabilities to load and fire a bow.

I find all new things / technology pretty cool, but I don't see the purpose or advantage of these.

They didn't fix a problem / build a better mouse trap... 2" groups at 50 yds isn't very impressive. I won't shoot my Excalibur crossbow at the same spot on a target at 50 yds, cause my groups are 1"

this isn't archery, so not sure why they compare it to a crossbow. It's an air gun.

i don't think it will be the next big thing, but that's just me.
