RE: I got my bow back
 
Facts are facts though Wash. Ask anyone over the age of 30 how things are compared to even 10 yrs ago and see what they say. Many people just want to collect a pay. They don't see their job as helping people but more as people as an inconvenience.

I spent the first 10 years of my working life in customer service and am generally appalled at how people are treated now and also worked with people that had that attitude.

More blame should be placed on people like that and not on a post like mine. ;)

I thought that any poundage below 70# was for chipmunks and small birds.:D

Yeah obviously squirrels are too big for that. I was actually talking to Bowtech about making me 110# limbs for an Allegiance, with speed mods, able to use 3.2gpi arrows. They said they'd get back to me on it, but I haven't heard back. Should I be concerned? I figured 110# might be too low but I wanted to save my shoulder. [&:][8D];):D

Wash, I would have to agree with this. I not saying that there are not people like you, that care. But most dont seem to give a sh!t. To them it's just a pay check! Sad but true. They have no pride in what they do.

Have you shot it through a chronograph yet? If so how does it compare to the other limbs you had?

Yes, I did. With the 70# limbs backed out to 65# I was shooting 268 fps. With the 60# limbs bottomed out at 62# It averaged, (3 shots),266 fps. I can live with the 2 fps loss. The bow is much quieter. My DL is 29", and my arrows weigh 424gr.

Yeah, Ive been out twice with the recurve this week. I saw him but no shot opportunity. I may just keep going trad until I get one.

This is why I always tell people that shoot there lims at 65# there better off shooting60# limbs maxed. You are pulling 3# less and lost 2fps not a bad trade.
