Default RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........


ORIGINAL: Matt / PA

One more quick note before I disappear to my archery room for a couple hours..........[:-]

You remember how I harped about the speeds and how Bowtech was maybe being conservative and keeping the advertised number toward the top end etc etc. so everyone would be happy??

Yeah my Birth Certificate officially reads..........71.2# (bottomed), 29" (have to measure but actually feels a touch short?)
= 314fps

The Admiral is rated at 312-320fps top end, and that 314fps birth certificate number was shot with 2 string silencers, brass nock set and 2 eliminator buttons.
So all indications on my bow is that even if I knock it back the 1# it's over it would probably do close to the top end speed with a bare string........AT 29".

Oh happy day.

Once again........later suckers.
Curious, the advertised speeds on the Marquis stayed the same. Did they apply the same thinking, of understating the speed as to not disappoint, to the Diamond bows...Just curious if they milked a little more speed out of the Marquis?
