Yeah, right... whatever. Do I look that stupid? Don't answer that. NO, I'd rather sleep.

To each his own but was it necessary to include an insult for those who are anxious to see the release 
The star wars reference could have been over the top, admittedly.
Issues with humor this one has.

This reminds me of the 40 yr old nerds that still live in their parents basements standing in line for the newest star wars release.
Pass.

That's not an insult.....unless you're 40 and still live with your folks in their basement.

I hate to say it guys they are probably jacking up their number like every other bow manufacturer does. And do you really think that 360 is gonna be shootable. Probably $1000 for a bow. Just to shoot 360 FPS i dont think so. Get a bowtech and let it go Its not the bow its the shooter.

Keep in mind that bowtech gives you a birth certificate just to set you up for disappointment when your bow doesn't hit advertised speeds.
I've never seen a bow right out of the box, with strict IBO specs hit or exceed advertised speed. I can cheat and I can tune and make it hit or exceed... but following the rules.... never.

How do you cheat/tune to help the bow exceed the expected IBO? I work at a bow shop and the guy who does all the tuning does the same thing by using things like an STS or speed knocks to gain a couple of FPS, what methods do you use?

I don't stay up to count in the new year, no freaking way for a bow.
They would have to release it at 5:45 AM for me to be online to see it,and I would have to know in advance that the new Mathews bow was going to have a draw stop for me to have enough interest to even look.
