HELP MY TRYKON IS SLOW

VA HEAD HUNTER · 06-20-2006, 04:18 PM

ok heres my dilema. i bought my trykon in march brand new. i bought the 50 to 60 pound model for 2 reasons. one is i was impatient and it would have taken me like a month to get the other one in here. and 2 is i thought 60 lbs would be fine. ok heres the deal. i shot it on the chrono and it was at 225 fps. now i was shooting 350 edge arrows by carbon express so i switched to 250 maxims and now im at 265. there is only a 2 foot difference with the whisker biscuit so i left that on. what else can i do to speed this thing up. my draw is 28 inches plus a dloop. please help

Your draw is what is hurting you the most. Not much you can do. I would be happy with 265.

yea i am happy with the speed i guess i know my draw is hurting me and there is really nothing i can do to make it longer cause any longer then that and im just not comfortable.

mine shoots right around 195 or less and it still gets the job done. of course im pulling 56 lbs and a draw of 27.5

265 fps on a 28" draw, 60# pull is actually pretty respectable. Not gonna get much better.

yea mine is set maxed out at 60. but i couldnt believe the speed difference i got out of going with a little lighter arrow. i guess i better just leave it alone. i was just hoping to get closer to 280. im going to try the blazer vanes and see what that does. thats the only other thing i can think about doing at this point

How many grains per pound are you shooting?

VA HEAD HUNTER · 06-20-2006, 04:40 PM

my new arrows are the 250 maxims with 100 grain tips but i shoot the crimson talons and can only get them in 100 or 90 so i may try to go down to 90 and see if there is much difference there

You and I have the same specs , 28"s and 60 lbs , 265 fps is a respectable speed , for ours specs .

Some things you can do to increase speed are
reduce arrow weight
remove rubber from peep [shoot a truepeep or none at all]
use a quality string
increase draw weight , 60 lbs is plenty IMO
make sure your cams are timed properly

I would be happy that as well. how much faster do you want? 265 will definitely get the job done!
