Rambo's compound

[General_Lee]

I'm trying to find out what bow rambo used out of curiosity. please can someone tell me? i know hoyt brought out a rambo model to coincide with the film.

I have a feeling that they called it the Hoyt "Rambo", but theres not much on it.

According to yourprops.com its a Barnett but a look on wikipedia says its a Hoyt

not really sure about this info but someone told me when the movie came out that hoyt had made the compound as a one off especially for the movie as i seem to remember rambo (sylvester stallone) clicking it together,however like i say this was the info i was given,

the bow was made by Hoyt, found a pic of a poster for it just don't know to post pics

Certainly a Hoyt, it was the same as a Spectre 1000 (which was my second bow).

There is another possibility we have not yet thought of it was a Hollywood movie and the director decided it made a better film to have him use a bow left handed. May be for lighting, or 1001 other reasons directors do what they do.

Ok how about a spot the compound bow on Film/TV, Here are 3 more I can think of.

CSI
Blade
Smallville (Superman the Early Years) - Showing Now, the Green Arrow has a cool auto folding compound obviousley not real but still cool.
