Default Just shot the 82nd Airborne.....WOW!

We stuck a WB rest on it......nothing else....and I shot it off the string.

I took a photo with my new camera....but my card reader AND the box the camera came in (with the cord to hook it to the computer) are at my office (I'm off today).

You wanna guess what it chrono'd? My target arrow is 363gr. I took a photo of the chrono readout.......but it's higher than you think

71#'s @ 29"

Faster than necessary.

How is it as far as shootability? Short brace height effect you at all?

I liked it better than I did the 101st for some reason. The draw cycle is TOUGH at 71#'s......but I won't be shooting it at that weight.

I didn't notice anything that much different than the 101st as far as hand shock (minor) or anything else. I see me hunting with this bow. My Allegiance may be taking a back seat in the field, too.

I've got to run out, soon. A friend shot a buck last night.....and recovered it this morning. I'm going to go over and look at it before i get back in the woods.

I hear you buddy, but if I drop $$$ on a bow before we are done with the house stuff I'm betting she will have me sleeping on the couch for weeks. There is also something "else" that's pretty expensive that I gotta buy VERY soon that goes hand in hand with a house if you know what I mean........

It's lonely out there on the couch you know.........[8D].
