Default SHOT THE ALPHAMAX 32

Guys...

All I can say is - impressive, most impressive !

The AM 32 is a very nice shooting bow. Had I not already ordered an Iceman from another shop I may very well had walked out with the Hoyt today. I must say though the Tec riser bothered me in that the bar that sits close to your wrist/ hand with a heavy coat on would touch the riser.... that is the only thing that makes me question this bow. I am still happy I have an Iceman coming due to it's adjustability - The Alphamax I THINK is a smoother draw curve and every bit as quiet as an Iceman.... Im not a speed freak but being that I shoot low poundage combined with 500 + grain arrows I liked the fact that the bow shot my arrow at 236 fpi at 61 lbs where the iceman was obly 209 last week, BUT the iceman was a 60-70lb bow w/ limb bolt backed out all way-, where the Hoyt was a 50-60 cranked down all the way. I have heard that the bow limbs are more efficiant cranked down so could this be the speed gain over the ice, or is the Alpha just plain a lil faster ? Gee... Im so closer to canceling my Iceman order....

What about that riser - anyone have opinions on it being to close to wrist when wearing heavy winter hunt gear ?

( I had to edit because I had the chrono speeds wrong)
