RE: bowtech mighty mite
The Radarchron that I tinkered with this past winter was within 3-4 fps of the other two chronos I was playing with at the time. What do you have on the string?...factory hush kit?...anything else? Is it an actual 29 inch draw or a bit more. That speed is very good for that bow. I would be happy for sure if I were in your shoes.

Update on "our situation"
Well as it turns out I took the Extreme out for a shoot behind MM's back had a hell of a time and won first place (kinda cheesy trophy though)
.
I shot a 291 out of a 300 count at the shoot, 40 yard max. I blew a 40 yard shot at a broadside tukey and got a 5 on it. It was a tuff shot for sure. It was the first time the Extreme and I have spent any time together for about 5 weeks or so. Not to shabby of a score for blowing the dust off of it.
It, destiny, will bring the Patriot SC and I together I can feel it.
I believe the MM will go curbside to make room for a new Patriot. I will keep the Extreme for some side fun. It is a damn fine shooter for it going against all the rules of a "forgiving" bow.
Anyone know anyone looking for a 04 MM?
I never turned the warranty card in, If so I may know of one for sale.
<----This is not, I repeat this is not an attempt to solicit a sale on the BBS. Just passing on some info

RE: bowtech mighty mite
PABowhunter-
This is what I have on the bow: The hush kit remains except for the string (still have those "bowjack silencer things" on the cables). I replaced them with cat wiskers - trimmed to about 1.5" each - they are set about 3" from the idler wheel and cam (not served, just tied), I removed the nock, and have a string loop only, with a "no - lose" peep sight (magnum). My present rest is a QT 2000 drop-away. I installed limbsavers in addition to the vibra-blocks, but slid the vibra-blocks toward the end of the limbs (toward the cam and idler wheel). The draw is probably more like 29.5" since I played with the draw stop on the infinity cam. I checked it today to make sure, and here is what I shot (arrowspeed radarchron): Arrow - Goldtip XT 55/75 - 27.2", 3 - 4" left-helical gateway feathers (4 degree offset). At 65 lbs DW I shot a 3-shot average of 305 FPS with a 100g tip (field point) - Total arrow weight = 375g . With a 75g field tip (350g), I shot a 3 shot average of 313 FPS. I use 100g for hunting. I will hunt at around 60 lbs DW. Before I put the limbsavers on, there was a noticable hand shock, but now - it's quiet AND fast! It's amazing sometimes how 2 identicle bows set up the same can shoot the same arrow at different speeds.

RE: bowtech mighty mite
I call it my pocket rocket - at 29" DL and 65 lbs DW, it zips my 375g arrows at 309 fps. 79 lbs of KE is plenty, and at 65 lbs,
Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news but it ain't so
. Your chrono Or your scale Or your DL is way off.
The bow only maxes out at 65 lbs.
Are you using a hand held scale? - because those are famous for showing 10 lbs low. I would guess you are shooting over 70lbs and very close to 30"
