I think he was talking about the IBO speeds Jeff. Bowtech does do a range for those, taking into account that some just don't fling'em quite like some others might. Rather than give a range like bowtech, mathews uses a *.... which means "approx."... and quite naturally it is kinda deceiving when you see an ad like this....

Mathews DXT
*
IBO Speed - 322

*approx.



What is odd is that they have the same listing for ATA length and the mass weight of the bow.... my standing joke is the only thing it proves to me is no one at Mathews owns an accurate certified scale or can properly manipulate a tape measure..... In today's world... one is best advised to cover one's ass at all times. So now we have *

Bowtech actually did one better by having the BC... they know there aren't a pile of 30" draw guys around... the bulk are 28-29"... and moreover, its a value added/quality assured part of their manufacturing to test for a birth certificate. And from selling bows for a living I'll tell you... it really does make a difference in the mind of the customer. Because at that point its not really advertising anymore, its a tangible result they are holding in their hands. Granted, not a lot of BTs make BC speed either, because there aren't many folks shooting a perfect 5gpp with no peep and no loop. In my mind I'd like to see it done with an arrow 50-70 grains over 5gpp. I love how Bowhunt America does their five star bow review.. they go way over IBO and even WAY under it. It really gives you a repectable idea of what to expect.
