I think what gimp is "excited" about is that the bows shot the same at 300 gr. But with the heavier arrow, the Defender gained 5 fps. which is what we're seeing with the E cams. More efficiency at shorter draw lengths, lower draw weights, and with heavier arrows. And the Defender comes with an extra 5/8" brace height.
I realize that..........but it still boils down to being 5 fps more efficient. Like I said.......most likely not even noticable without a chrono.
The more brace height is nice.
I just can't get worked up over 5 fps.................20 fps and I start to take notice.
I can get an extra 5 fps by trimming my cat whiskers.
The bow sounds really nice and I'm sure his wife is gonna have a blast shooting it and that's all that really matters.
I just haven't seen anything from the new bows that interests me..........mostly I'm sure because I already have a Patriot.
