That cannot be correct either. From what I ascertained by the cam numbering system a size 1 cam would equate to a 31.5 inch draw length. A size 5 cam equals a 29.5 inch draw length on the Old Glory and if you continue to count up then it ends up having a size 1 cam equal a 31.5 inch draw length.

Me thinks there are a few typos. ;)

yes , it was an is a type-o in the catalog. These things happen. The info on the web is correct.
.I mean I had noticed that tha Old Glory had the same speed as the Allegience with four inches longer ata and a greater bh. I new there was a typo for one of the bows. oh well it is still going to be a fantastic bow.

RE: Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
 

Which seems to track well with Len's reported findings...

RE: Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
 

Saw one

String had tied in nocking point above and below the nock, a d-loop, and hush kit.

At 70# and 30" draw:
398 grain arrow
297 fps

Turned down to 61#
same 398 grain arrow
281 fps

RE: Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
 

Well that definitely puts it in the listed specs when you consider the loss caused by the D loop and tied in nock which would have probably been around 4 fps. You have to admit that is smokin!

RE: Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
 

I stand corrected, the website is obviously wrong, my dealer called me today mine came in

300gr 60.7lbs 30" 318fps :)

RE: Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
 

Good to hear your bow has arrived. Hope mine gets here soon .

RE: Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
 

I read somewhere that BowTech changed the way they rated their bow speeds, that is, the new speeds are now with the hush kit installed. I may be wrong, but I seam to recall reading that somewhere. I believe the reason was they were getting too many complaints from the customers about the bows not reaching the IBO speeds advertised.

RE: Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
 

I have not chrono'd mine, just going by the BC. An inch of draw would account for 8 to 10 fps. I won't worry over 4 fps. :)
DLE, glad to hear you're happy with the Old Glory's speed on your bow.
