Tale of 2 bows
Tale of two bows [/align][hr]
Dream Season 7 out of the box suppose to be 60 lbs 29" draw. Set rest and nock point measured draw length and poundage and shot a 306gr arrow at 327 fps.
The actual specs on the bow were 61.12 lbs and 29.5" AMO.
I took it a part and put it back together again and really had to work with the bow to get the draw as close to were it should be with out messing up the cam rotation and the performance of the bow. When it was as close as it would get we had 60.2 lbs 29.25" draw and the same arrow shot 325 fps. The draw curve on the 7 is smoother then the standard X-Force which makes it more enjoyable to shoot. I have had this bow for a while waiting for 28" mods and they came today so I couldn't keep it as long as I wanted to because the customer was really wanting to shoot this bow. It was new straight out of the box and never shot when I got it. With the 28" mod set the AMO was 28.25" and shot the same arrow at 314 fps
Airborne 101st out of the box, BC said 70.5 lbs 29" 328 fps. I measured draw length and poundage before I turned it down to 60 lbs. Bow was 70.6 lbs and 28.875" AMO. After I turned the bow down I shot the same arrow I did through the PSE and the bow shot 326. I took the bow a part and put it back together, set the timing and set the stop until I had 80% let off. All the set up is done with the bow maxed out to make sure every thing is correct and I now have 29" AMO and 70.5 lbs. I turn the bow down to 60 lbs and shoot the same arrow at 331 fps. This bow as I mentioned on the other thread shot IBO 333 fps with a 350gr arrow at 70 lbs and not having a 300gr arrow to shoot, it looks like there wasn't any speed lose between 70 and 60 lbs

RE: Tale of 2 bows
So whats your pick? Which did you like the best? How did the hand shock on both compare? My Dad shoots for a pro shop back home and he is getting the x-force. I personally am leaning towards a new bowtech. I have a Patriot now and feel like I need ( I meant want) an upgrade. So that's why I'm so curious.
