<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I think the fact that Frank could shoot heavier arrows, and/or drop his bow weight and get the same speed, more KE, similar noise and recoil, and a similar if not easier draw just goes in one ear and out the other. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>....

...but it would be with a longer axle to axle length and heavier (mass weight) bow...right?

I hear ya...and, as I said, all is not lost...I am considering it......

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Or it could just be that his better half has been on his case about buying bows…this 180 degree “I’m sticking with what I got..I can't hear you! LA LA LA LA LA ” turn-around happened a few weeks after he got married…and that’s a most sad circumstance..I’ve walked in those shoes, and still do on occasion…the bows are getting fewer and farther between..but I’m able to sell a couple, and bring another one in thankfully..

Seems like Frank’s wife has LAID DOWN THE LAW!

Let’s all pray for his bowhunting soul!

Well, you got me there...she has laid down the law...but not so much about buying new bows, but rather because I have spending money on other interests...and since we just bought a house, a new car, and I have a &quot;little Frank&quot; on the way in May......<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Wait till you hear this one....she suggested Mathew Kyle for a name!! Blasphemy!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

As I stated above, I will consider one of the Bowtechs...but until they can put together a &quot;Havoctec-like&quot; bow (doesn't have to be a TEC riser) but with a 20 fps faster IBO speed I am unswayed....<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

- 320 IBO speed
- 32-34 inch axle to axle length
- 31 inch draw length available
- 3.5 lb mass weight (bare bow)
- 7 inch or more brace height
- single cam

Build one of them!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

We also need to discuss that limb stopping draw stop and the dual track idler wheel comparison if you really want to get into this....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
