RE: BowTech Airborne
Ok, So here it is. I was at the shop early this morning to try thr airborne, (probably a mistake) I got it set up with a peep, sight ,rest , and not much else. I basically wanted to see how it felt to draw,We put it on a scale and it drew65#s. Not bad at allWhat was interesting was it was at full weight by 14" or so then dropped off rapidly at the end where it was no problem to hold. So I sot it a few times not totally set up for me(bigger mistake)I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet and shock free it was. Ok I said , lets set it all the way up.We added a kisser, string loop, adjusted a couple of things and off I went for about an hour.(really bad idea). I really couldnt find much to complain about. I shot it for about an hour,my shoulders were not sore at the end and the grip felt good to me and the sudden drop at the end didnt bother me at all. I actually think that it helped me out in the respect in that I concentrated alot more on making sure i didnt creep at all.Accuracy was not an issue and as a matter of fact I was ripping the fletchings offf of all the arrows within the first couple groups. Workmanship was spot on as far as I could see and it was a eye opening experience as far as speed goes. We didnt chrono it but it seemed to spitting them out pretty darn fast. Oh did I mention that I was looking for a 3-D machine, I wanted a good fast bow,I have been saving for a while(good thing) and its Christmas time.All I can say is Merry Christmas to me. I think it came with the speed mods and I may try the smooth mods in the fururebut for now I will just shoot and enjoy it. Good job Bowtech
