RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
DONE
-Set my draw length to 30" AMO and the stop (which is AWESOME by the way)
-Set my rest height and centershot
-served in my nock sets, and tied a new loop
-removed the factory eliminator buttons
-marked my peep height, turned it out to relax and installed the peep and tied everything in
-tightened it back up, everything looks perfect!
3 shots later at 6ft (after 1 minor rest adjustment)
after 2 more consecutive bullet holes at 6ft, back to 8yds...........
No problemo.
She's is officially tuned, sighted in to 50 yards and ready to hunt..........not a bad late morning/early afternoon's effort.
Here you can see the adjustable rotating module, thicker and reinforced limb ends, and the new bolt through axle system.
The new Center Pivot limb technology
It feels similar to the General to me on the shot. (I have one of exactly the same specs here) but the draw feels more "round" and smoother in transition, and to my ears it's a bit quieter and feels even MORE dead in the hand. The thing is SICK. I mean flat out SICK.
The real obvious performance difference, the arrows look like laser beams coming off the bow compared to the General.
This puppy is FAST.
I'll have to break out the chrono later and see what it's doing exactly but man is it spitting them. It's such a weird sensation shooting it to feel so little but have the arrows whipping downrange so quickly.
It's the real deal folks. Mark my words.[:-]
And oh yeah, as outfitted:
Spot-Hogg "Real Deal" sight
Octane Hostage Pro rest
OCtane 7" stabilizer w/ LImbsaver enahncer for giggles
A thick hush kit silencer on the sight and a Bowjax one on the supressor (again for giggles
)
Wrist sling
Octane 1 piece quiver mount.
The WHOLE package weighs...............5.33lbs. [:-]

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Matt, that's an awesome looking rig, sounds like they took care of the few deficiencies that the General had.Can't believe it could be quieter or more shock-free?? How does it feel weight-wise compared to the General? I likedmy Generalok except for the draw and the bulky feel.

RE: The Little Brown Battleship..........
Matt, I figured you would shoot a WAY longer draw length than that. I figured you'd be longer than 28.25" to the back of the grip.
I mean, everyone describes you as a giant, which from the pictures you look it
Sweet looking rig, it's hard to imagine quieter and more dead than the General.

Not a whole lot of body fat anyway. LOL
I like to stay just a touch behind the shot for my hunting bows for those weird angles etc you can find up in a tree.
