Double Lung Em

Just wondering what happened with the Old Glory's IBO rating?

Originally posted at 317-323fps, but now is 307-315fps according to their website, I bought the bow based on the original specs not the new ones.

Guess that explains the 304fps on pdq's BC. A little disappointed []

Well, considering the longer ATA and an additional 1/4" of brace height, I think they may have slightly exagerated the speed claims originally. I think they are more in line now.

Besides, would you rather have a company leave the original speeds even though they are incorrect? Or one who realizes it isn't right and fixes it?

Len in Maryland chronoed both the Allegiance and the Old Glory. Only 5fps difference.

I would not be so quick to write off the original speed numbers. Maybe the website is the mistake. Hopefully Bowtechshooter or Matt/PA will get wind of this and check into it for you. Anyone have a catalog handy to compare it a third time?

PA-

I think the catalog states 323fps as the top IBO as well, not sure what is right.

Rangeball

Catalouge states 315-323.

pdq5oh posted his Chronoed speeds of his OG on AT. They were definately SLOWER than the 323fps max . More along the 318fps max. At 27.5 draw ,50# that is a big hit in performance over what I thought I was going to have, but probably still better than what I would get with another manufacterer if comparing apples to apples.

Went back to recheck the facts.
60# 28 inch draw Allegiance BC = 301
The BC of the Allegiance I looked at was 70# 28 inch draw= 308
60# 29" draw Old Glory BC=304

Yep, might be a typo Me might be pleasantly suprized at what we actually get.

I guess this the first time around but it looks like they increased their max draw to 32" vs 31.5" as originally listed, so I'm guessing that is the reason for the drop.
