since my back will not allow me to go over 55-60lb draw anymore, i am looking to new bows to get my speed/KE up.

what bows would give me the fastest and what kind of speed can i expect? recommendations?

27" draw

..any brand

thanks
John

Pretty much any of the Bowtech models...though the cams are a little harder to draw than most.

Also check out the Merlin Lite Storm. www.merlin-bows.co.uk These are plenty zippy, too, especially with the twin cam. Plus, their speeds are actually UNDER-rated, and the AMO-stated drawlengths are correct not 2" too long like other manufacturers. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

I'm in the same boat, moparman. I've got plenty of back and neck problems that limit the poundage I can draw. I recommend going dual cam. You can get the speed without near as much of that gosh-awful hard draw cycle and the sudden drop you get with a solo. That dropoff into the hard wall is what hurts me worse than anything.

If you have back problems you really cannot beat the Darton Maverick or any Darton w/a CPS..smooth as silk, and fast, fast, fast.

The Bowtech's will have the speed too, though they are not as nice drawing as the CPS models.

The Merlin's are my choice also. I'm shooting a Max2000, duel cam @62lbs w/27.5" draw. I'm getting 280 fps w/carbon select arrows. My arrow is 26"@ 4.5 gr.per lb. The draw cycle on there duel cam is smooth and solid with a draw stop. I have the composite limbs. I think you might get little more speed from the new carbon limbs. You have to shoot it to appreciate it. JERRY

I agree with Jeff, Dartons CPS realy gives nice speeds and a very smooth draw.

TAKE YOUR KIDS HUNTING AND YOU WON'T BE HUNTING FOR YOUR KIDS

Jerry, 4.5gr per lb? Have any penetration problems with being that light?

No, not at all,88. These 3-d selects are lite carbons. I ordered weight tubes to bring me up to 5 gr.per. I didn't want to add more weight to the front cause it will put my FOC too high. JERRY

Arthur P...

it sounds like you unfortunately are in the same boat as me...what setup do you shoot?
