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.

I just received a reply from Pat at Bowtech the Old Glory Ibo is 315- 323.

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

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

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!

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

300gr 60.7lbs 30" 318fps

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

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.

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.
