Not really an "upgrade" but I got a new bow and new arrows.

'08 Vectrix Plus
Maxima Hunter arrows

I plan on getting a suit of the new Enigma G2 as well. Of course, this is subject to change after I return from the ATA show.....Who knows what I'll find there that I can't live without..
You went with Maxima Hunters? I thought you wanted some of the KV's?
Thought about it, they're too heavy for my set up. If I could have been convinced to buy an Elite bow, I would have. I shot them all the other day......No thanks. My thinking was to shoot the Elite GTO with like a 425+ grain arrow around 320 fps....that would have been just about enough KE to shoot through an oak tree....

Check out these GTO numbers.
400 gr = 332 fps
450 gr = 314 fps
495 gr = 300 fps
750 gr = 247 fps

at 70# and 30"


This is a test Kevin at Elite did, with some heavier setups. Run the KE numbers on the 750gr arrow


I'm still not sure that I'm going to shoot the Victory arrows.



But I was running some numbers, because I plan on shooting outdoor 3D with this bow when I get it, but I'm going to have to shoot a 440 ish gr arrow to get the bow under 288 at #50 and 28.75" draw [8D]
