Default RE: New bow...speed....weight?

ORIGINAL: Rangeball

SC Pat has more forgiving specs.
How-so? Pat DC has 5/8 to 3/4" more brace, and 2.5" more Axle to Axle length.

60 pound dual cam (regardless of riser platform) from BowTech is plenty fast, and plenty of bow for any kind of big game barring the big bears and perhaps Bison (assuming an average 28-30" draw length). No need to kill yourself with a 70 pounder unless you are a speed freak like Vic or Kevin Strother himself Those cams REALLY load up at 70 pounds. Too much for me, and I'm a big boy. Of course I feel like a puss when Kevin shoots a 115 pounder regularly

My 60 pound P40DC shot 8 FPS faster than my 71 pound X-Tec with the same arrow and junk on the string. And at 60 pounds was an easier draw than the X-Tec @ 71. Noise levels favored the X-Tec, but not by a significant margin. Brace heights were within 1/8".
