bubbatony,

Mike Carter (Crackers) tinkered a bit with his first 101st he received in his shop, and was getting 331 fps at 60 lbs. with a 29" draw...

If you followed conventional wisdom, which states that for every 5# of draw weight you go down,you'lllose10 fps... you're looking somewhere in the neighborhood of 311 fps at 50 lbs if the bow was as efficient turned down to 50 as Mike's was when turned down to 60.

And... you're asking about an 82nd, which should come in about 10 fps hotter than the 101st... so theoretically you're talking 321 fps at 50 lbs. of draw weight here!

Now, would I advocate these speed bows for someone who's had back and shoulder injuries? Not on your life. Remember... they are just that: speed bows. I would definitely steer you towards a Liberty at 60 lbs, if you could pull one of these at 50... As sweet as these bows are, I think you need to keep in mind how your previous injuries are going to be affected. We care more about keeping a fellow bowhunter in our ranks than selling one more bow; they're going to sell well, there's no doubt. We want you to do the right thing for your future.
