for all the speed demons out there
 
High country has a new bow out and it is rated over 370fps wow makes the bowtech bk look slow.

Put a 350 grain arrow in it and see how fast it shoots. THAT IS NOT IBO SPEED

Not sure if i believe all those ratings. Not hunt rated. Not a speed freak.

This has been so beaten to death. They are getting those rating with an arrow that weighs about 3 grains per pound. The advertising is misleading and some people believe anything they read. If you are comparing any characteristic of a bow be it speed or otherwise then go shoot that bow and then do a hands comparison of it and other bows. Then after you do the comparison with identical arrows, chronos, accessories etc. then take that information as fact.

Yeah sounds a little sketchy to me... Even says "Forgiving and Shooter Friendly" I have NEVER seen a bow with that short of Brace height that was either one of those things...LOL But that would be one smokin Bow... I would not mind shooting it just to see... But you have to figure the vibrations and noise that must generate is enomous... Not like my Mathews....:D

Yea! we've been through this before ,this bow sounds great on paper and even with proper hunting wieght might be a real good bow ,but these rating's are very misleading to the consumer.

I just read an aticle and they say it is ibo ratings. But I see alot of people nocking it down when they haven't even shot it I guess if its not A bowtech or a matthews it just can't be any good. And when poeple start by saying this has been beaten to death well go back in the pages of this forum the whole thing is nothing be repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats repeats and repeats who cares then don't reply move on. sorry just venting and saying don't knock it till you've tried it I know a few people who shoot bows with under 7" brace height and have know problems shooting.
