You are right. I forgot about the weight on the string. I like it even better now!

The throat of the grip is a little deeper than what I'm used to. If the Bowtech grips can be classified as low wrist, I would put this in the category of medium wrist. But it is slim and "low torque". The more I fondle it (Is that bad?), the more I think I will be able to quickly adjust to the grip. I think it was merely a matter of an initial difference rather than a point of contention.

Thanks,
It does look like a very comfortable and natural grip.

You go and fondle you new bow as much as you want. I know I do when I get a new hunting toy.

It picked up 3 fps acrross the board at every weight I shot, once I rigged the strings correctly. The new speeds are:


350 gr = 303 fps

360 gr = 298 fps

380 gr = 289 fps

453 gr = 274 fps

Thanks 500 fps for all the info on the bow.

It is good to hear you are happy with it.

Vic,

I saw that exact bow today at my local Pro Shop.
The physical weight with the accessories was 8lbs but that's not too bad for me and I'm sure doesn't bother you.
It does seem very well built and feels solid.
It has lots of take down screws in its construction but they're good size and shouldn't be a problem.
I think, it's a cool looking bow and it should sell well to those archers who want something different.
Would consider one for hunting if the Moon bow didn't exist.

Sag,

Looks were the main reason I got it. The better than average performance just happened to be a nice perk. I had to do something to ease my withdrawl symtoms while waiting on a 30" Allegiance.

I'd definitley be interested to hear how the Moon shoots. Do you have one on the way?

Sagittarius

Vic,

No Moon bow on the way yet but thinking about one.
Can't make up my mind if I want to spend that much but I do think it would be cool to own one.
Would not take much to talk myself into one, though.
If I get one, I will do a report on it with some pics.
Good shooting with your new Alpine.

I know one thing. If I were considering the moon bow I would definetly shoot it a bunch before I laid down two grand for one.

It would need to be totally in complete awe to purchase a moon bow.
