More than 75% of all Olympic archery medals since 1972 have been won by athletes using Hoyt bows. The “limbs” of the HOYT HELIX 900 CX are made of the same flexible, crushproof syntactic foam used by the U.S. Navy inside the dive planes of Los Angeles–class nuclear submarines. The Swiss-made MORINI CM 162 EI air pistol is used in the modern pentathlon and 10-meter air-pistol competitions; its electronic trigger is controlled by microchips.
