Bowtech Old Glory - what happened?
Just wondering what happened with the Old Glory's IBO rating?
Originally posted at 317-323fps, but now is 307-315fps according to their website, I bought the bow based on the original specs not the new ones.
Guess that explains the 304fps on pdq's BC. A little disappointed []

Well, considering the longer ATA and an additional 1/4" of brace height, I think they may have slightly exagerated the speed claims originally. I think they are more in line now.
Besides, would you rather have a company leave the original speeds even though they are incorrect? Or one who realizes it isn't right and fixes it?

I would not be so quick to write off the original speed numbers. Maybe the website is the mistake. Hopefully Bowtechshooter or Matt/PA will get wind of this and check into it for you. Anyone have a catalog handy to compare it a third time?

pdq5oh posted his Chronoed speeds of his OG on AT. They were definately SLOWER than the 323fps max . More along the 318fps max. At 27.5 draw ,50# that is a big hit in performance over what I thought I was going to have, but probably still better than what I would get with another manufacterer if comparing apples to apples.
