huh? I must be the only one on here that shoots a high country bow? The reason I ask if anyone has seen the new 2007 line of bows is because I wanted to know what people think about the new stiletto along with the high country arrows has a ibo of 375 - 385 feet per second. I wasn't sure how that compared to the mathews or hoyt 2007 bows.

You said 375 to 385 IBO, they may test them at 70lbs and 30" draw but I will garantee you they are not shooting a 5 grain per pound arrow getting those speeds. High country makes good bow, if you like a bow you can practicaly dry fire with out damaging it.

ya there posted ibo is 325 - 335 30" draw 70# . but they say with there 5.5 grain per inch arrow they are getting 375-385 ibo. But like you say it is virtually a dry fire. At the hunting show last month i stopped at there display and they were actually dry fireing a bow non stop and it was holding up. That blew my mind.

I have never shot one of these bows but as light as they advertise them to be, and being as fast as they are, seems like it would jump right out of your hand! I don't like the idea of basically dry firing to get that kind of speed. My Reflex Buckskin shooting 290 fps kills them just fine i'll live with the pin gap!

Yeah might want a stabilizer with about a 10 pound weight to tame that bad boy.
