Draw weight and/or draw length because the cams are the same.The bows with all being equall should feel the same.

That's what I was saying. One of the bows he shot must have been a few pounds heavier in draw weight to feel different from the other.

I will go back and redraw both bows this weeks and see. The pro shop guy told me they were both set at 60lbs. I am here to tell you though the vectrix I pulled felt like 70 b/c I pull 65 now and it washarder to pull than my current bow. I shouldv'e double checked on the scale myself but didn't think to do so.

the vulcan shot 269 with a 362 gr arrow at 27 inch draw. the vectrix, harder to pull shot same arrow and draw 260. I didn't know that both bows were identical exept brace ht.

If I buy a new bow, should I get the 50-60lb limbs or 60-70?? both bows I shot were the 60-70 as the pro shop guy told me that he would have to special order the 50-60.

I was once told that the bow would be more efficient shooting at the top draw wt, and with this in mind I thought I would need the 50-60 limbs.

Any help here guys???

Not really sure any of us can make that decision for you. I suppose it depends on what you really want. If you comfortably pull 63-65#, go with the 60-70# bow, there's NO GUARANTEE that you can get 63# out of a 50-60# bow. Looking at both bows, the Vectrix has a couple more add-ons to it than the Vulcan, and it their highlight bow for the forgiveness factor along with the speed factor. That being said, it you have excellent follow through, braceheight may not be near as detrimental as axle-to-axle when considering what you really want. I would like to buy a Vectrix XL, but that may not happen until they start showing up on the used market, because I can't talk myself into spending $700 right now, when I have a nice shooting bow. I also have a good deal on a Turbotec, which I shot, and even with the low brace-height, I thought it felt really smooth.

I just got a Vectrix XL 50-60 and it's maxed out at 63#. It is a bit harder to draw than what I expected also, but I still LOVE it!

That would seem logical but is not the case. The Vectrix is indeed a bit harder to draw than the Vulcan. After reading this thread,I went back to the bowshop to try the two bows again. The Vectrix has more of a solid unchanging resistance throughout the draw cycle. The Vulcan seems to have a crisper drop into the valley sooner in the draw cycle. (hope I'm using the term right) Overall, the difference is noticeable but negligible. Trust me on this, I made a spectacle of myself drawingthe bows a good 10 times each over the course of 10 minutes resting my arm a little bit between each comparison pull.

My shop told me that if I'm gonna shoot no more than 63lbs that I should go with the 50-60lb limbs. Reason for this is because the draw cycle will be smoother/easier on top of that quieter. Think in terms that a thicker limb will be harder to bend over and once bent then released, it will return to its resting position more violently thus loudly.

One extra riser shox.

To add, I actually compared the Vectrix and Vulcan against my Cybertec all at the same identicalweight and the Cybertec is easier to draw than both the new bows. Yes, I had all 3 bows lying there in a public place of business and conductingmy ownlab experiment.

Scale of 1-10: the Cybertec is 8, the Vulcan is 9, the Vectrix is 10.

I see 2 riser shox per bow at the top and the bottom of the riser.Where are the extras?Have a lookat the link below:
