RE: Finally got her dressed and shooting
Well, since I have had it set up (1 week) I have shot about 300 arrows through it. I'm very pleased with this bow. The only thing I was a little disappointed at was the speed (IBO- 313fps and After Set up- 292fps). I'm telling you, if it wasn't for muscle failure and picking up bad habits after getting week, I would shoot it 24/7. I try to shoot at least every other day (rough work schedule) but when I'm not shooting I'm thinking about shooting.

RE: Finally got her dressed and shooting
There is nothing to be disappointed about in that speed. If you are shooting 292 with 425 grain arrows, then you'd be around 317 fps at 350 grains. That's a hell of a lot of kinetic energy. I shoot those same arrows, you'll be happy with those and you wont have any problems breaking a little bone...lol
Great Bow....you know how badly the shorter draw guys would love to get that kind of speed with an arrow that heavy...lol
How long are your arrows? I shoot the same arrow at 28" with 2" Quickspins and 100 grain tips. I weighed mine on a digital scale and they are 450 grains. Just curious...you may be a little heavier than 425 and that makes the speed more impressive.
