Default RE: Fred Bear Element

I bought one for my son this past Christmas. Set up almost exactly the same as yours except that we use the Whisker Biscuit. We got the 50/60. Started turning it down. Four turns brought it down to just under 51 lbs. Six turns gave us 44.3 lbs. Have been shooting it for ten months now at the 44.3 lb. setting. No problems. 237 fps with 372 gr. arrows. Will reliably put arrows into an apple at 25 yards. We shoot the Easton Excel 500 series. Will start deer hunting here in about two weeks. After that, I'm planning to crank the poundage up a little as he appears to be pulling it back pretty easily the past few months. Great little bow.
