Default RE: Allegiance Speeds

Justin,
I know what you mean about the percieved draw weight with the Copper John Eagle vs. a wrist strap caliper........I shot a 3D all day with my Allegiance and the 4 finger Eagle (I don't use the strap to draw) and then tonight I was trying my Scott Rhino wrist strap and the bow feels like it's 10# lighter vs drawing with my hand.

Here's my set-up and what it's doing.
30" / 60# Allegiance
28.5" A/C/C 3-60 w/ 3" r. helical feathers and short wraps (400gr even with 100gr heads)
2 SIMS crossbow leeches
Tru-Peep1/4" (Thenew whopper sized one)
String Loop
2 tied in nock sets

Speed = 279fps
KE = 69ft lbs.

And it is REALLY quiet at 60# and 400gr finished arrow weight.[:-]
No need to be drawing 70# here, this thing is going to be a slice and dice machine.
