Good numbers considering the weight on the string and the fact that you have an adjustable draw cam.You are losing some fps for that but not much.
How is the draw length measuring out?

Heyya T- Draw measured out basically 28 5/8" (I tinkered with the draw stop a tad to get a bit less letoff than 80%- I'd say at the normal 80% draw stop setting for 28.5" it would measure 28.75" AMO (which is within AMO spec of =/- 1/4" ). It's right there with my GT500 which measured 28.75" (28.5" cams)

RE: Admiral performance is very impressive!
yeah- I'm inbetween as well- generally 28 3/4 to 28 7/8" " so with a slightly longer loop I'm good.
I kinda "cheaped out" a bit and went with a Cobra Double Diamond fall away- poor man's Trophy Taker. Its a good rest for the $, but it is no TT when it comes to "solid". So I decided to give the limb driver a try since I love the general idea (just don't like that extra long cable).
I'm off to bed now, but I have another good thread for the morning- No hints- just gotta say I love my friends at the Pro-shop- you'll see why tomorrow

RE: Admiral performance is very impressive!
Put a brass nock above the loop, and make the tie in bigger and uglier and thats what I have Russ-
My loop is oversized too because A) to deal with the oversized(i.e. long) tie in and B) I needed a tad more effective draw length.
It doesn't look great but it works. I'll "clean it up" at some point in the future.

Jeff I think if you tie a nock set and Loop per Gregs thread you will eliminate any problems. I've tied several in for guys at 29" & 30" and never a problem yet.
I Love the CP bows they really are just a pure pleasure to shoot.

RE: Admiral performance is very impressive!
Thx guys- all is good with the loop- at least as far as actually working correctly- arrow flight was brilliant. It's just my horrible looking tie in nock. I never ever could make those things look pretty like some people can. I avoid shoes with laces too- if I can help it 
Cannot wait to get back to the shop Friday evening and start getting this bow dialed in.
