Default RE: 2006 Bowtech Old Glory

Very good review Frank.

I am very pleased with my 06 Old Glory. The bow is very stable and even though it is a little longer than most flagship bows it honestly doesn't feel any different than my Allegiance or my Liberty did. I had originally planned on using my OG pretty much just for 3-D, paper, and screen shoots but I quickly found myself wanting it for hunting as well so it replaced my Allegiance.

The grip is very nice on the OG, but after shooting my buddies Hoyt TurboTec I think that I would prefer something like the Hoyt Pro-Fit grip. It is by far the most comfortable grip that I have put my hands on yet. I can't really complain about the BowTech grips but I wouldn't complain if it was more like the Hoyt Pro-Fit grip.

I am anxiously awaiting Spring Gobbler season to open as I plan on blind hunting with my OG.

P.S. My Old Glory set at 70# draw weight (fastmod) and 29" draw length with a Fletcher Tru Peep and single brass nock on the string is shooting 27.5" Gold Tip Pro Hunter Advantage55/75's with Burt Coyote Lumenocks and 4" VaneTec vanesand100grain field tips (total weight around 398 grains) and somehow this baby chrono'd at 297-299 f.p.s. which means that itis shooting faster than whatit should be.From my calculations, it is shooting nearly 15 f.p.s. than what it should be.
