LOL!! I knew a guy shot a Black Knight in the 380's with light arrows, he never had a need for armor[8D] Any sissy can get speeds with too light arrows. It takes a Man's bow to do it with Legal weight arrows
250 grain arrows now there's some sissy arrows[8D]
If you think your bow is immune to a Blowup, better think again

It would be impossible for me to be totally objective here, even though I am going to be, because I own a Iron Mace... but I will say that I have seen at least five times as many limb issues on Bowtechs I as have on High Country's... irregardless of what kind of arrow the customer is shooting.
From the jist of this post.. I think if you aren't shooting a Bowtech then you are obviously cheating.
No Swampcollie, All manufactureres besides HCA only warranty and approve shooting 5 grains per pound of draw weight.
So with that said, that's the standard in the industry to judge a bows performance via IBO specificiations. Can you imagine the speeds MOST manufacturers would reach and thusly, "falsely advertise" shooting a 250 grain arrow. Manufacturers could invent any speed they wish.
GEE REALLY.... OH MY GOD....
Yes Rob I know that. But the point here that no one will ever accept is that one company has enough confidence in their product to go beyond what the industry has set as their "standard" (which changes every 10 years or so... and you know that), and raised the bar for everyone else.
I'm a big fan of bowtechs... I shoot the HCA Iron Mace for a couple of reasons though:
1) I was due for a new bow in 2007... not everyone gets free bowtechs... I don't know what a corporate staff is... but if you are in need of waterfowl or turkey hunters... I asked first.
2) A very good friend of mine started a sort of shade tree bowshop, and one of the lines he decided to carry was HCA as there are no dealers in our state (though there are now three). In order to help him get established, I bought one of the two bows they required him to pre-order.
3) The trinary cam on the HCA is very similar (if not the same, but I'm sure you know) to the binary cam Bowtech uses.
Honestly, if Dean wouldn't have gotten into HCA... I'd probably be shooting an 07 Alligence right now. I just enjoy playing the devil's advocate. I'm really being objective here.... I could care less what anyone shoots.
