RE: ** New Bow Review to discuss!....Outdoor Life's Bow Shootout
Muzzy,
With respect to noise there was a 16.7 decible difference between the lowest (Xtec @ 81.6db) and highest (Kodiak 32 @ 98.3bd)
That's quite a bit considering they tested at AMO specs.
Vibration was REALLY interesting![:-] They measured horizontally from a low reading of 58.6 m/s sq. to a high of 168.4 m/s sq.!!, and vertically from a low of 25.5 M/s sq. to a high of 76 m/s sq.
They also averaged vibration (horizontal + vertical / 2) Only 3 bows came in under a total reading of 60 m/s sq. , the Xtec, Liberty , Outback.
The worst average vibration score was a 129 for the AR-34, followed by the High Country TSSR @ 116.9 m/s sq.
