i've been out this evening with a chronograph comparing my 3 year old highcountry carbon 4 runner extreme and my brand new 04 bowtech mighty mite vft and using the same carbon express 300 arrow and a 100gr tip at 70lbs and a 27in draw well i started off with the highcountry and out of about 15 shots i shot an average fps of 278 and then i took the bowtech shot it about 15 times with the same exact arrow, tip and got an average of 253 and the high country had a bodoodle rest on and the bowtech a trophy taker drop away both had a brass nock with a loop tied on. the bowtech is just a little smoother than the high country but the high country weighs about 1 pound less. so it looks like i'm going back to high country but i had to buy a bowtech and see just what everyone was talking about and now i know and i can't really see what all the hype is about except that it is a little bit smoother. this is not intended to make anyone mad nor am i trying to bash anyones stuff i just thought i would do a test and share it with you.
