Default RE: Compound bow for a new shooter, recommendations please.

I was dead set on a Vectrix, and I still love them.....but I messed up and shot the Vulcan right next to the Vectrix...lol

At 70 lbs., you can close your eyes, let the salesman hand you a bow (Vectrix or Vulcan) without you looking at the bow, just draw it back and shoot it. I could NOT tell the difference between the two. And the Vulcan that I bought was actually 12 fps faster than the Vectrix (both set at IBO)

Shoot as many as you can, see what you like.

I will say this. If you a long draw like me, then you can see the numbers I am getting out of my Vulcan in my signature. If you a short draw, then I'll tell you this. I saw a guy in the shop the same day I was rigging mine and he bought a Vulcan in 27". He had it set at 62 lbs. and was shooting a 310 grain arrow at 302 fps.

All of that and I can still hold 5" groups at 40 yards and 8" groups at 50 yards. The bow can shoot tighter, it's just that I can't.....lol
