DC Patriot, I shot it tonight.

The shop where I shoot and do buy my bows got one in today. So of course I had to try it. It is a sweet shooter!!!!. The grip is slimmer and feels good in my hand, no handshock at all. I shot it with and without my 10" Stealth stab, it had a little kick from the bottom limb without the stab. I chronoed it with my hunting arrows that weigh 360-370gr, the chrono showed 283. That will give me roughly 66ft/lbs of KE. The bow drew as smooth as my Icon and held steady with and without the stab. The bow is quiet, the arrow thumps the target so hard that I had to aim close my eyes and focus on the shot to hear the bow noise.
So now that I've tried it I'm gonna buy it tommorow. YAHOO!!!!!!

BB,

What draw weight and draw length did you shoot that bow at to get those speeds? Thanx

Jerry,

Obviously I don't know for sure, but that sounds right in line with a 28" 60 pounder.
