Day 2 Report. So far still dreaming about it when I am not shooting it. I just spent the last 2 hours shhoting ( yes it was dark) and I think it is even shooting better than day 1.
I kept the same draw length on this bow as my Tomkat which was 29 inches but, something does fell different. My left arms seems to be bent just a sight bit more with the Tribute ( I am right handed). The Draw cycle does not have the harsh break over like my Tomkat but it does seem harder to pull back at the same poundage.
I shoot 100 gr field points and 100gr 4 blade muzzy broadheads. Like my Cousins Defender my muzzys seem to hit high and left compared to my field tips. On my Tomkat there was minimal difference between the two. I am thinking it might have something to do with arrow speed causing the broadheads to fly in this manner,we had he exact same results with the Defender compared to Tomakt using all the exact same arrow specs and tips.
On occasion I like to video myself shooting to watch my mechanics and to see what the bow is doing and see how it sounds. I shot approx 16 arrows in a 4 round session and one thing is clear from the frontal view, this thing has almost zero movement after the shot. I shoot a very light grip without a sling, the only movement was the bottom limb moving about 1-2 inches forward after the shot. Shot noise is nothing more than a dull thump with the factory hush kit and a Simbs Stabalizer. On my Tomakt it had a almost metalic like "bing" sound. I do plan on installing a set of the sims limb dampners as they reduced the sound on my Tomakt substantially.
I will keep you all informed as I plan to shot as much as possible between now and Turkey season. I am on a Mission to get a Gobbler with a bow!
Grade at this point A- ( Need to work on the BroadHead issue)
