	Its not really invisible, Its the Kris Del patented Felinium Refractalloy coating that phase shifts all incident light creating the 'apparent' stealth transparency. I knew you guys had that for the arrow and heads, but didn't know you'd solved the problem of adhesion on the flexural members... Congrats. I'll have our Mr. Cheney give you a call about the rights purchase... milo __________________ People say between two opposed opinions the truth lies in the middle. Not at all!

	My guess is that it is a fiberglass bow with Kevlar string. the trick was getting the clear paint to stick to the flexible components. __________________ Bob

	You do of course realize that the development of this new weapon will will only further inflame tensions between the cats and the mice? This can only lead to an all out arms race. We may have to call in a watchdog group.
