Buckmaster Maxpoint

[martinfaw]

Just bought a Maxpoint compound crossbow that is 150 lbs draw weight
instead of 175 like my other Maxpoint and the excalibur Paradox. The
limbs are about 1 inch shorter and 1/16 inch thinner, the stock and rail is 2 inches shorter and are made by excalibur, and the power stroke is 12 inches instead of 14, the stock is black like the older Vixen and the bow weight is 6lbs.
Any info on this bow and the mininum arrow weight please let me know.
Thanks Martin

Call Danny: [740] 483-2312. Congrats! That's a new one on me. My GUESS on min weight is 400 gr.

Awshucks, I googled and found that
they made 2 maxpoints, the regular and a Maxpoint 305, I'm thinking the 305
means feet per second. I shot it thru the chrony with a 400gr. arrow and got 276 so I figured the min. weight might be 350, shot a 350 gr. and got 295, I only shot once and it might do better but I better wait till I know for sure on the min weight.I need to order some stuff from Miller next week so I will check with him. Looks like this bow in power is between a vixen and a phoenix and it sure is a pleasure to carry (6lbs.). Looks like a keeper.

Now I gots to buy another dadburn varizone where was that good deal on them you posted awhile back.

I called Danny Miller about the Maxpoint 305 and he knew about it he said he had parts for it (he had a few limbs if i ever need one) he said it was made on a vixen frame but he did not know if the string and cables were the same as the big maxpoint so we called Canada and they did not know so he told me to send them if I ever needed new ones and he would make them. He is a nice guy to deal with.
Got a varizone on the way so i got something to play with.
