Lets see 225gr arrow going 400fps that equates to 80f/lbs of KE.
My pro38 dual cam will do 342fps(on chrono at local shop and 1fps faster than the birth cert.) with a 350grain arrow at 72lbs, equates to 91f/lbs of KE with very little reciol or hand shock and the noise level is acceptable and it doesn't need string silencers and it is a 2001 model to boot. It's a no brain which is more efficent. I don't know about the hand shock, recoil or noise level of the HC but I do feel alot better with 5gr per lb over the 3 but I shoot a 400grain arrow anyway just because I feel it is easier on the bow. The limbs and riser my hold but what about the axles getting out of round. I also wonder what the old pro38 will do with a 225 grain arrow????? I won't be finding out.
I am not tring to bash High Country but I think they have had enough problems over the last several year with bows blowing up and overall quality of the product without shoting 3gr/lb arrows. I hope they have improved there quality with this one.
