pearson spoiler question??

[Having fun now]

anyone shooting this bow? Would like to know how it compares to the mathews outback or the parker.

I used to own one , not a bad bow . The model year I owned had 2 cabels and a string . Now they are back to 1 cabel and a string, a step backwards IMO . I would sugest the 65% modual on the cam , the bow shot much better that way . Their 80% letoff cam does letoff quiet a bit , and , when you mix that with a short , split limb bow , it is hard to be consistant .

thanks for the reply. Just wanted to get some opinions on this bow. I've been looking at one pretty hard.

I can't address anything concerning the Spoiler as I have no experience or knowledge of that particular bow.

However I just read a bow report by Bill Krenz about a bow from Pearson's sister company Mcpherson. The report was about McPherson's Edge. The numbers and comments he wrote concerning the bow were quite impressive.

ATA: 34"
Brace: 7 5/8"
Eccentrics: Hybrid; Magneto Cam System
Set at 29" and 70# it generated the following speeds:

305 grain arrow.......323 fps
378 grain arrow.......298 fps
411 grain arrow.......287 fps
491 grain arrow.......265 fps

I am always leery when it comes to "sugar coated" bow reports in magazines. The thing I like about Krenz' report is that these are real numbers that have been measured, not posted IBO numbers. These can be compared to other bows in its class.

Of course there is more to a bow than just raw speed. I owned a McPherson bow one time and I found it to be rather quiet and shock free. It was however a short axle to axle bow and I prefer a longer bow so I sold it. I might have to give this Edge from McPherson a closer look.
