Too bad you have to shoot such a light arrow. [&:]
You too!

I was shooting a 462gr hunting arrow last year! Two different "games", Dan

74ft/lbs of KE.

The Airbornes are really living up to the speed claims. I'll be glad to put mine through the paces. I have 3 different weight arrows I hunt with. It will be interesting to see what it pushes them

WOW Jeff that's impressive and sorta what I thought you'd see. My 82nd shoots my hunting arrow 381 gr ACC/100 grain head at 327 but at 70lbs.

It's shooting my ACC with 65 grain head at 320fps.

I think next year I may invest in a 60lb bow and max it out with a heavy enough arrow and still see those speeds.

Congrats Jeff.

I will be inquiring about a 50-60# bow for 2009. It's too fast for what I need it for. I may even check into some 50-60# limbs, this year.
I thought about this as well however I then realized that I barely got two turns out to go down to 62lbs, one more would put me below 60 and still smoke! I love the option to crank it up, crank it down with zero effect. Very cool!
