Penultimate George Birnie "influenced" design, supposedly with "hyper-kinetic" limbs .... really?

My example of this model has: - no visible "hyper-kinetic" limb features as displayed by the 1-piece bows; - no nock overlays; - no string grooves.
What was that all about? Anybody know?

Acrually I've never seen anything that lead to believe the "hyper-kinetic limb" was a thing. And I've tried really hard to find out what it was supposed to be.

My brother Chuck bought a one-piece, Hyper-Kinetic limbed BP bow back in 1999. I can’t remember the model name. It had a dark grey, Marble-wood riser with the shelf cut past center, but a very sloppy finish i.e., runs, bubbles. At 55# @ 28” it put an arrow downrange very fast.

As a concept no different from Bill Stewart's "multi-cam" ....

Most recurves in 1977 ended up not selling much all as it was a compound bow industry for 90+% of archers at the time. I was there and I remember most used recurves coming into our shop were of little value since you couldn't really sell them. It would have been interesting to watch the development of the recurve bow, since most takedowns of that time were metal risers..including hunting bows. But fate changed that in a hurry and the death knell was rung for manufactured recurve bows here in the U.S.
