Equal to or greater than the IBO speeds Bowtech records at their factory, yes. Not equal to or greater than the IBO speeds set by other companies for their specific bows, if thats what you're thinking.

I do like the new models with the rollers and In Velvet standard. Still thinking about the Admiral but I starting looking at Mathews today????

RE: Bowtechs slower IBO's?!
It isn't basically the same model though, thats the thing. It is a completely different animal.
While I enjoy speed bows, I don't understand the infatuation with constantly striving for more and more speed, year after year. In fact, I'm glad Bowtech didn't try and push the speed envelope this year, but rather focused more on making a more forgiving and quiet bow.
To each his own, I suppose.

I understand that...I'd appreciate an even quieter and smoother bow with the same speeds, but I do like higher speeds as well. The Admiral is still at the top of my "new bow" list for January but I keep my options open. I am not commited to one brand.
(...I almost feel like selling out if I got a Mathews.
LOL)

I mean that they should improve their own IBO speeds from their last year models. If the Guardian was putting out 329 fps., I would think they would try to improve the Captain to 329+ for 2009 if it is basically the same model.

I thought the two Reezen 6.5's that I shot were fine....actually great fully loaded with an S-Coil and String Tamer. Don't flinch and you'll be fine.
The two I shot were 60/28 and 65/28.5....and was very pleased with a fully loaded hunting setup compared to my SBXT.

I will second that kelleno. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence (said playfully) would grab one of them before they are gone.
