James here is a list of Elite Dealers, if you shoot a GTO you can shoot 70lbs fine[8D]:D. Shoot a few of the speed bows to see what you want.

I would shoot these bows

82nd
PSE X whatever
Elte GTO
Hoyt Speed bow, I have no idea which one this is?

Anyone of these would be great:) To me are the Top 3, IMO GTO is the best all around of the three

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
 

Yeah, but Gary now that you have one the company is due to go out of business right?;)

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
 

You have one? Then that is definitely out!:D

I will definitely check out the Elite line. Thanks for the info.

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
 

That is not my fault:D
Word on the street Andy was in Detroit talking to lawyers yesterday[&:]

I think those are the best "Speed" bows, not hunting bow. I still think ROSS makes the best hunting bow;) For now[&:]

Jim,

Don't know if you'll be 27.5 or 28 but here are my numbers at 28.5" on the 82nd.

70 lbs., 381 grain ACC, 327 fps.
62 lbs, 381 grain ACC 307 fps.
62 lbs, 346 grain ACC (65 gr tip) 320 fps.

62 #'s 314 grain arrow, 330fps.

Those are numbers very close to your setup.

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
 

The way I'm shooting it for spots and 3D, it'll make the perfect hunting bow. ;) Win, win.

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
 

That is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you.

Jim - test fire any of the speed bows before you buy. There will be a dramatically different draw cycle than what you're used to with the Mathews.

Each of the binaries load up a little differently - and it will be perceived differently by every individualshooter. I think it has a little to do with every person's individual power stroke, draw techniqueand muscle structure.

For example, I think my bow (ironmace)draws smooth and easy - and Rybo shot it and agrees. Germ shot one and said it damn near tore hisshoulder out of socket (wimp). I hunt with a guy who swears my bow is the hardest drawing bow he's ever held - and Ithink the same thing about his bow (82# Supertec w/spiral cams).I got to draw an Xforce not too long ago - and thought it drew nicely. Others would vehemently disagree. Weird.

My buddy was tinkering with some of the '08's the other night, and he swears that the General draws stiffer than his old Black Knight (reputed as being the most aggressive cam ever).

Very subjective.

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
 

No problem bud, give me a arrow weight and a draw poundage and I'll shoot it and get back to you. I can do 28.5 and 29" draws.

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
 

Will see at the moment of truth;)

In hunting situation one may need to make a smooth slow draw, need a softer valley. A "clunk" into full draw(most speed bows do this) could cost one a deer.

The one of the main reasons I did not buy the 82nd or any HCA was the draw. When hunting I think the draw is over looked by some. It may be I just need to get "use" to it.
