RE: New Drenalin with Pics.

i am totally impressed with my dren.....i was blessed with only being 5' 7" with a 27 inch draw with a d loop and cranked all the way down out of the box i was shooting 287-288. im going to give up the d loop or try a shorter releaseand order a 27.5 cam that should get me up to the 290s

When the Drenalin first came out I wasn't that inpressed, to me it was just a lightweight Switchback. Then I stated shooting them at the shop and the more I shot the more I realy like them.Back in early February Ihad a slow day at the shop. Soa few customers/friends andI decided to realy put this new bow through the tests. I had my SB and XT for comparison as well as several otherXT's and another SB. First we tested all the bows for speed, we had 5 different arrows and shot them each 5 times with each arrow to get a average speed. Next we set up a Drenalin and my friend who is a shop shooter/competition shot it. His groups were incredable, as were the speeds of this new bow. I have posted these speeds before here in the bowhunting section.But I'll post them again for those who are interested and didn't see it before. All bowsare 30" DL and were set to 70-71 pounds.

Here is the pic of my friends group without a peep, and without being paper tuned at 20 yards.It was from this day that I started thinking man this realy is a great bow, and honesty its better than the switchback. I stole this pic off the mathews web site, his name there isOutbackJunkie if anyone is intrested in contacting him.He and his brother both bought Drenalins the following week.
