Hey JeffB...

[Rangeball]

Any word on when you'll get your 80# limbs?

Very anxious to ask you to run a few quick tests when you do

[walks with a gimp]

Hey Range,, my wife did draw a 60 pound Liberty,,,,, with a 29 inch draw at that! She is one of those archers that if you turn her bow up more than a few pounds heavier than what she's been shooting, she can't get it back. She was shocked that she could draw that bow!!!! I'm waiting on Jeff's 80 pounder report also.

[Rangeball]

Thanks Walks...

Bump for Jeff...

[JeffB]

Sorry Range...missed this thread before.

My answer to your question is "Yes...Not any time soon because I cancelled the order"

I'm perfectly happy w/ the bow the way it is, so I'm not changing a thing! Maybe later in the year I'll get bored w/ it and want 80 pound limbs but right now, I'm really enjoying the supa-smooth draw, the speed is very good, and the bow is proving to be extremely accurate for me. I'm hesitant to mess with such a good thing

I apologize if it's any inconvenience to you [:'(]

[Rangeball]

Damn the bad luck...

I was hoping to see how an 80#er backed down to 70# fared against a 70# maxed in speed, noise and recoil/vibration.

If it was close, thought I'd go with 80# limbs to give me more versatility, should I decide to go with a bowtech.

Any chrony numbers from your bad boy yet?

[JeffB]

ahh..I see. Sorry

I suspect the 70 pounder maxed will be the faster less recoiling bow..

When you back the limbs out you are giving up some pre-load, and altering cam timing, plus the heavier poundage limbs are just plain thicker w/ more mass and thus will have an effect on recoil...About the only benefit is a higher brace height for the draw weight

That's not true in all cases..but generally is.

I have not chronoed it yet (have plans to do so this weekend w/ a few different arrowshafts), but my perception is the bow is not slow by any means. It seems much faster than my Cougar III SE and PSE Enforcer, and If I were to harbor a guess it would be right in between the 2002 Patriot SC and Mathews Legacy for speed.

I'll let you know for sure soon

[Rangeball]

That'll be a big help, looking forward to the numbers, as you're draw length is right on with mine...

[Jeepnut]

Jeff,
I'm also curious to see what kind of numbers you're getting as I have the same 70 lb/29" Liberty. Speed isn't critical to me because I'm fairly certain that no matter how heavy the arrow, I'm still going to be getting more than the whopping 235 fps I got out of my last bow.

Range,
I admire your self control. I too was planning on waiting to see what several manufacturers had for '04 but I finally gave in & shot the Liberty. And after shooting it for a while I just couldn't help but bring it home with me.

Sometimes it pays to be a cheap, uh, fish excrement

Plus, I haven't shot any of the new bows yet. Sometimes it pays to live in the sticks...
