When I'm wrong I'll say it. I got some misinformation from my shop onwer RE: the 340IBO Mathews new bow. I went to the shop (to pick up my new arrows....which is a totally different story....lol)....and shot th enew bow.

First off....the numbers I gave yesterday....I 'thought' were shot at 70#'s. They were shot at 62#'s. I shot the bow at 62#'s and it got 296fps. My '08 allegiance (same 356gr. arrow) got 292. Not too shabby.

So....we jacked it up to 70#'s. Same arrow....this time 314 through the chrono with the MAthews. I'm wondering if 1" DW and 6gr = -26fps.....but it's still closer to advertised than I (unknowingly) gave it credit for (or, lack thereof).

I won't comment on how the bow shot....as I was comparing apples/oranges. My bow has a sight/stab./etc....and the Mathews was almost bare (WB and D-loop).

Thought I'd clarify.

**EDIT - Also....ONE thing that might "fudge" the numbers in the way of the Mathews IBO....is DW. Fully cranked down....the 70# model produced DW OVER 74#'s. We backed it off to 70#'s for the "test".
