Default RE: String specs on Bowtech generation3

Where are all of the big Bowtech Gurus? LOL.

Brian-

There were two G3models in 2001, (oldest specs Ican currently lay hands on, sorry)5.65" bh and 6.65" bh. Both retained an ATA of 36". String length on both was 87-1/2", cable 1 was 38-1/16" and cable 2 was 18". Speeds at 70lbs were 324-332fps for the 5.65" Brace model, and 310-318 fps for the 6.65" model. I shot one of these for a bit but it wasquite touchyand not as fast as projected. But to their creditBowtech changed the design around completelyin 2002 and upgraded it to the Gen 3.2. That one had 7" brace and was a bit more forgiving, with muchless shock and recoil. They were rat traps IMHO, andtho the force multiplier was a novel idea it never took off---everyone thought they were "goofy" like an Oneida, Bowman Accuriser,or older Pearson Advantage. They did not maintain the exactingly level nock travel they advertised for them either, they started out high, much like a conventional twin.

Both Parker and Diamond also licensed the technology of the force multiplier, but again, it just never took off because it didn't really "mulitply" anything except things to worry about.
