That's pretty good speed for a 28 inch draw!!! The wife can't decide between the Patriot and the MightmightVFT:)

Hey Pat,

You wouldn't happen to have a ...ohh I don't know, 450 grain arrow laying around you could send through that setup do ya?:D

RE: 2004 Mighty Mite questions
 

Kelly,

I'm sure I can find one (or at least close) if I wade through my pile of arrows I've accumulated in 20+ years...;):D I'll post it tomorrow if I get time.

Regards, Pat

Kelly,

I found an arrow that was close to your requested 450 grains. This one weighs in at 443.1 grains.

I bottomed out the draw weigth at 62 lbs. and I shot 4 arrows through the chrony and they were 248, 248, 249, 248 fps.

Hope this information helps you out.

Regards, Pat

RE: 2004 Mighty Mite questions
 

Thats pretty darn good. My DC40 is only about 8 FPS faster than that @ a little over 28"

RE: 2004 Mighty Mite questions
 

Pat, what do you have on the string? I honestly was expecting a bit more, but you are almost 140 grains over IBO...

RE: 2004 Mighty Mite questions
 

Range, that's with a 7 3/4 inch brace! There is only 20 1/4 inches of "push" on that arrow;)

RE: 2004 Mighty Mite questions
 

You guys are forcing me into an MM VFT tizzy again!! Pat, stop postin' such impressive numbers. My eagerness to get my hands on one is skyrocketing!!

:)

RE: 2004 Mighty Mite questions
 

RB,

Keep in mind that the bow is set at 62 lbs. and the arrow weighs approx. 135 grains over IBO.

It has 2 string silencers on the string, 2 silencers on the cable (should affect speed), 2 eliminator buttons and a brass nock set.

I did the math on paper (calculator :D) and the bow shoots a little hotter than I would have figured it would have without shooting it.

RE: 2004 Mighty Mite questions
 

Go for it PA!! I could use one of your top notch reviews on this bow!! I am deciding between these two bows and your review was very helpful on the vipertec. Now if we could just get you to get ahold of one of these babys!!
