RE: Archery Research Bows
I really like mine. Very smooth and quiet. Very little hand shock. Some folks seem to hate 'em, not sure what that's all about. The grip may take some getting used to, esp. if you are familiar with Mathews, Bowtech or PSE grips. Very narrow; I'd guess guys with big mitts don't like the AR grip much.
AR's aren't particularly fast. I'm shooting 247 thru the chrony with my hunting setup. I have a 28" draw with a loop, so my effective draw length is only about 27.5". That has a big impact on speed. I'm shooting arrows that weight about 415 grains total. With all that said, my Muzzy 3-blades are grouping with my field points out to 30 yrds.
