I played with some numbers to get a guestimate to see what I would end up with. Assuming I could get 270 with my 375 grain arrow with the HQ35 (my hornet does 90.5% of stated IBO with the same arrow, so that is the percentage I used), that would give me 61' #s of KE and .4489 of momentum. Probably still enough to get pass throughs on good shots with my 1.5" cut Rocket Meteorites...

I' d be losing 8' #s f KE and .0301 of momentum only to gain a smoother drawing drop dead gorgeous bow.

I can' t imagine it being much more quiet than my hornet, as it' s pretty well silent. Pinwheel' s shot both, hopefully he can point out anything I may be overlooking...

I wonder if you can get the HQ in 80# draw? Brochure only says 70, but you never know...
