Default RE: My new bow

Range, I'm not very hip to the correct terminoligy (nor do I care to be).
But I can say that my neighbors Gladiator doesn't kick as bad as my Z-light or Stalker, but at the same time it doesn't just sit there after the shot like my Patriot.
Not bad at all and very managable, but not recoil free.
I think the machete's limbs are more parallel, but after shooting both I am more impressed by the Gladiator. It will hum an arrow very true in flight and is very quiet to boot.
His stats go a little something like this- hit it-
29" 70#, peep, leech's
388 gr arrow-mid 290's
my 420 grainers- ~275 ish

My Pat is shooting the 420's 10fps slower, but then again I'm only pulling 65# w/ same draw and string setup.

p.s., those speeds are on my chrony which is 6-7 fps slower than local shop speeds.
