That may put me up around 300 fps with a Destroyer 340. I really like the smooth draw cycle on the BI, is the Destroyer really the same as far as draw cycle goes at the same weight? I have not tried a Destroyer yet but I don't want to have to drop poundage just to be comfortable with a new bow. Keep those Destroyer reviews coming.
LKN, The 1st Destroyer I shot was a 350 (have not shot a 340) and it was 70#. After shooting it for 15 minutes or so I couldn't believe it was actually pulling 70# (I normally shoot 60#) even though the limbs appreared to be bottomed out.
I had to put it on the scale just to check and I was surprised when it scaled 70# on the button. I later shot a 60# Destroyer 350 for the biggest part of an entire day, and then decided to change my order from a 340 to a 350. Therefore I am still waiting.
I talked to a friend Friday that had shot the 340 and the 350 quite a bit and he decided to order the 350 as well. He said he felt no difference in the draw of the 2, and saw No diffference in the shootability of the 350 vs the 340 side by side. I might add he is an accomplished shooter, and I do trust his judgement, although feel can vary from archer to archer.
My advice is to shoot them at the poundage and draw length that fits you to get an accurate feel for the bows. Many Bows (the Destroyers included) will feel totally different to You if Not set at Your specs. Just my 2 cents.
