Rack-attack

18" of snow put a damper on my wekend plans.

Hopefully this week

Yeh, I guess so !!! I saw my first frost this morning......but I don't guess that's the same !

Frank, as a lover of short bows, you won't be disappointed. You may even keep this one over a month.

I shot the bow today and was very impressed. No recoil and fairly quiet with the lightweight arrows I was shooting. It balanced better than prior Bowtech models and the slim grip was very nice. It seemed a little hard to pull for 70#, until we put it on the scale and realized it was maxed at 76#. The draw cycle was very acceptable for that weight.

The draw length was deadnuts 27", which was nice to see since it had the 27" module. My only real complaint in the past was that Bowtech overstated their draw lengths. Unfortunately, my shop did not have a 28" module, so we adjusted the draw legth a little with the infinity cam and put a slightly longer loop on it.

The bow chrono'd 276 fps with a 400 grain arrow, with the 27" mods at 76#. The only things on the string were a single nock and string loop. I think that by backing the bow down to 70# but adding the 1" draw (28" module), my speed should stay about the same. I expected a little more speed, but that is certainly acceptable.

With my correct 28" mods and the bow backed down to a lower draw weight, this bow should be very pleasant to shoot. I also shot the new Liberty, considering the difference in draw weight, I personally liked the SC Pat better (go figure).

276fps isn't all that bad, add in 30fps for 3" of draw length, 16-22fps for grains over IBO of 350, and subtract 6fps for being over 70lbs and you'll get a range of 316fps-322fps, a little off but not by a lot, probably due to the loop & nock set.

I guess I would figure it slightly different. Add 30 fps for 3", subtract 12 fps for 6# over 70#, add 14 fps for 50 grains over IBO (my '02 Pat picks up 1 fps per 3.6 grain wt drop), add 3 fps for nock/loop = 311 fps. Same as my razortec.

Actually, we did shoot a 350 grain arrow through the bow and got 287fps. I only did this a few times. Once we realized that the bow was set at 76#, I did not want to shoot any more of the arrows less than 5 grains / # draw weight.

The birth certificate gave the bow 294 fps at 27" at 71# with 350 grain arrow. So she shot 7 fps less than the birth certificate. The bow had the factory installed hush kit as well as the single nock and string loop. But, it also was cranked up to 76#, which is 6# over IBO.

As stated above, I expected more speed, but was otherwise impressed with the bow.

For those that can figure the approx. speed, what should a 2004 Pat. SC set at 65lbs with a 29 inch draw shooting a 475grain arrow, with just a nock and peepsight on the string shoot?
Thanks
