Default RE: bowtech mighty mite

PABowhunter-
This is what I have on the bow: The hush kit remains except for the string (still have those "bowjack silencer things" on the cables). I replaced them with cat wiskers - trimmed to about 1.5" each - they are set about 3" from the idler wheel and cam (not served, just tied), I removed the nock, and have a string loop only, with a "no - lose" peep sight (magnum). My present rest is a QT 2000 drop-away. I installed limbsavers in addition to the vibra-blocks, but slid the vibra-blocks toward the end of the limbs (toward the cam and idler wheel). The draw is probably more like 29.5" since I played with the draw stop on the infinity cam. I checked it today to make sure, and here is what I shot (arrowspeed radarchron): Arrow - Goldtip XT 55/75 - 27.2", 3 - 4" left-helical gateway feathers (4 degree offset). At 65 lbs DW I shot a 3-shot average of 305 FPS with a 100g tip (field point) - Total arrow weight = 375g . With a 75g field tip (350g), I shot a 3 shot average of 313 FPS. I use 100g for hunting. I will hunt at around 60 lbs DW. Before I put the limbsavers on, there was a noticable hand shock, but now - it's quiet AND fast! It's amazing sometimes how 2 identicle bows set up the same can shoot the same arrow at different speeds.
