That guy is an IDIOT!!!! He shot it twice under 5gpp, and once was like 75gr. under and blew off one of the cables I woulnt be doin that with a BT[:-] Not bein a basher at all, ive owned BT's and LOVE them, but that wouldnt be my first choice of bow to go and shoot well under 5gpp lol... Would have been funny if it would have blown, then he would have had to wait 2 more months to get a set of limbs in

Ths strange thing about that bofors pic is the gunners are standing up- not seated and feet on the electric controls (the pedals) and using the sights- It's a pic from the USS Wasp (IIRC) and 1945- so probably Iwo , or Okinawa.

Glad y'all liked it regardless!

I agree to a point. Personally there is not any brand of bow made of which I would shoot that light of an arrow.
