Default Shot the 82nd Airborne

PROS

Don't think that the brace height will be a problem as I was shooting the shop bow 2 inches long on the draw and still never touched my forearm. The stopper system must prevent that forward string slapping..........or I just had decent form..........pobably some of both. It is fast for sure........BC read 29" 71lbs 350 grain arrow at 338 fps so it is cookin'. The handshock was similar to the 101st but not real bad considering the speed. The shot was smoother IMO then the 101st...........weird and maybe a personal thing but that's what I felt.

CONS

The draw was less then thrilling at 65lbs and I would never even consider this bow at a 70 lb draw for hunting. IfI do buy one it will be a 60lb max for sure...........now the draw was 2 inches too long so it was hitting me at an awkward spot but everyone else there agreed the draw was kinda stiff.

The bow is a little long for treestand hunting IMO but I doubt it will be much of a problem..........could be a better 3D bow then a hunting bow.




We will see I guess............I'm in no hurry and hopefully some good feedback on these bows will start filtering out there soon.
