I will go back and redraw both bows this weeks and see. The pro shop guy told me they were both set at 60lbs. I am here to tell you though the vectrix I pulled felt like 70 b/c I pull 65 now and it washarder to pull than my current bow. I shouldv'e double checked on the scale myself but didn't think to do so.
the vulcan shot 269 with a 362 gr arrow at 27 inch draw. the vectrix, harder to pull shot same arrow and draw 260. I didn't know that both bows were identical exept brace ht.
If I buy a new bow, should I get the 50-60lb limbs or 60-70?? both bows I shot were the 60-70 as the pro shop guy told me that he would have to special order the 50-60.
I was once told that the bow would be more efficient shooting at the top draw wt, and with this in mind I thought I would need the 50-60 limbs.
Any help here guys???
Not really sure any of us can make that decision for you. I suppose it depends on what you really want. If you comfortably pull 63-65#, go with the 60-70# bow, there's NO GUARANTEE that you can get 63# out of a 50-60# bow. Looking at both bows, the Vectrix has a couple more add-ons to it than the Vulcan, and it their highlight bow for the forgiveness factor along with the speed factor. That being said, it you have excellent follow through, braceheight may not be near as detrimental as axle-to-axle when considering what you really want. I would like to buy a Vectrix XL, but that may not happen until they start showing up on the used market, because I can't talk myself into spending $700 right now, when I have a nice shooting bow. I also have a good deal on a Turbotec, which I shot, and even with the low brace-height, I thought it felt really smooth.
