Bowtech Allegiance, Elite GTO & Agile
#33
For the most part,I AGREE with Quick,we are just rehashing the speed days of old.We are using the same tricks to do it.Short brace and agressive cams.HOWEVER,the cams are not quite as agressive to the shooter,much better draw curvesand are more tunable and shooter friendly than their previous counterparts.Thank goodnesss hatchet cams are a thing of the past.
I posted about the Hoyt Katera and I was amazed at the draw curve on it with a 330 ibo,of course it has a 6" brace.
Heck,Elite has an 8" brace bow shooting 320.That couldn't be done 15-20 years ago,atleast not to where someone could pull it and shoot it.It would probably rattle their teeth out if they managed to get it back.
He did touch on the advancements of the materials so from their I will agree,to a point.
Overall,the products are better but it is the same old bag of tricks to yield basically the same results.

I'll have to side with Quick on this one. The biggest advances yet to come are with arrows. Arrows that are light yet durable, stiff, and straight enough to shoot safely.
The bows, well, the manufacturers can make them more comfortable to shoot, but I doubt any faster.
I really regret getting rid of my Blacknight, evil little thing it was
. I do appreciate the 7.25" brace on the Equalizer, however.

So i bought my GTO tonight i chronoed it at 70 lbs 28 inch draw and a 400 grain beeman ics hunter shaft with blazers and it shot 299 fps, 3 times in a row, i am very satisfied with the bow i was hoping to see around 310 -315 fps, but for a hunting shaft 299 is pretty damn quick , cant complain at all , is there any way to make it a little faster or should i just leave it alone ?
