Have any of you guys rode the Caution Answers(bows)? I am curious how they compare to others.... I am looking into a 16m bow and have a line on one of these.... Thanks,

Hey, i haven't road that one, but I have found that I don't like bows over 12 meters. Just an opion. I have my wife on one and I have a 9 and will by her a 12. But Then again, I dig my nine for what I use it for. For what I here, it seems like most of the cation boz don't fly them either? Its only an opion though and I'm a intermediate rider.

Hey Chanson, Brian here.

I haven't ridden the answer but I do have a 16M crossbow and have been very pleased with it.

It is fairly fast for a 16m and man oh man does it generate some apparant wind when you get moving!! I bought it just for sauvie and I'm able to fly it when people have their 20m out and can even hold it down when people are out on 12's although I do suffer from ape arm syndrome from having it sheeted out so far.

Drop me a PM or something and I'll let you take it for a spin next time your at sauvie. At least you'll have something to compare it to.

He's got a good point with "ape arms," I don't suffer from ape arms, however I cant feel my hands and have to reverse grip in the waves...... I likemy 9 when I'm lit in gusty condtions! i'm gonig to be in the gorge this weekend, catch up with me and i'll let you fly a couple of mine if you want as well, I'm on the Liquid force kites. Also fly the naish version, I here its not as bad for bar pressure!
