RE: Shot a DXT for my first time today
I got a DXT last sept and have had nothing but good experiences with it. Mine is a 70lb 29in. draw. Really good hunting bow IMO. The short ATA is great and with it being a lighterweight bow, it is not to bad to carry around all day. Went on a 3 day spot and stalk hunt for elk in colorado and it was great there. I just put a STS on it and with that it is super quiet and really low on shock. I am really impressed with the accuracy of this bow as well.
If the bow shot well for you, you liked it, then buy it. Like I said it is quiet and accurate, couple that with the shorter ata and you have a pretty nice little hunting package.

RE: Shot a DXT for my first time today
Just a question, probably a pointless question. But I have short arms and will probably be shooting a 27" draw length with roughly 60-62 lbs, maybe 65. Can someone estimate how many FPS I might get with a DXT? With my Firestorm 27"/58# im getting about 224. Dang arrow drops 5" every 5 yards, it sucks. Im hoping if I get this DXT it will improve the ballistics a little.

I went through the same drill as you over the last 6 months. I shot the same bows as well.
Remember..its your preference. And you need to pick what feels right for you. They're all great bows.
When I narrowed it down...I chose this one.

With that set up in a DXT...and 27 inch draw.....I'm guessing you will get 263 fps with a standard set-up and carbons.
Everyone wants to think 290 but when us short guys get to the shop the hot bows are still only pushing 265-280 with our short arms and standard 5575 gold tips.
This is a fact...I saw it with my own arms. I'll argue the subject[:@]

Ive only held onto Bowtechs and never liked the feel from the beginning, where Ive always loved the feel of the Mathews. Haha, sorry though Rage.
