One more quick note before I disappear to my archery room for a couple hours..........[:-]
You remember how I harped about the speeds and how Bowtech was maybe being conservative and keeping the advertised number toward the top end etc etc. so everyone would be happy??
Yeah my Birth Certificate officially reads..........71.2# (bottomed), 29" (have to measure but actually feels a touch short?)
= 314fps
The Admiral is rated at 312-320fps top end, and that 314fps birth certificate number was shot with 2 string silencers, brass nock set and 2 eliminator buttons.
So all indications on my bow is that even if I knock it back the 1# it's over it would probably do close to the top end speed with a bare string........AT 29".
Oh happy day.
Once again........later suckers.

The only thing that I have had to get me excited about was when all of my new plumbing fixtures that Iordered show up at my house while I was at work one day. Wanna trade?
