Atlasman, BowTech rates their bows just like the other manufactureswith IBO weighted arrows at 30 inches draw length. The Equalizer bow only goes to 26.5 inches draw so it is actually rated at it's draw length of 26.5 inches and the IBO weight of a 300 grain arrow for a 60 pound bow (5 grains of arrow weight per pound of peak draw weight). The Equalizer bow will shoot within 7 or 8 fps of this 302 fps rating or it won't ship out the door, according to BowTech. Some bows might actually shoot higher speeds than the 302. My wife shoots 340 grain arrows for hunting at her 26 inch draw length, these are Easton Lightspeed 400's,, plenty stiff for her 55 pounds so I doubt many shooters will be shooting heavier arrows out of this bow.

If you were "disapointed" in last years line up, maybe you'll find something that you like this year
