Sold the PSE X-force last week. Shot the new Hoyt Alpha Max 35. Pretty sweet.

I've kicked around the idea of a new bow but I haven't shot anything that feels as good as my 6yr old Archery Research bows do. I've got 2 set up the exact same way and just can't bring myself to change.

I can understand that.

Wasn't hard to pawn off the PSE due to it being new/new to me just last year (season).

It's a shame that Mathews doesn't make a riser to fit my mitts. My fucking thumb hits the riser opposite of the shelf. Hoyt seems to be the only one that works.

The boys in my area really like the Limbsaver Speedzone and Deadzone bows. I've got a 70# Deadzone and really like it.

You know, I never gave them a thought.

I did order the Hoyt Alpha 35. I should have it next Friday.

As in today?

Show up yet?

It shoulda been in today but it seems Hoyt is backed up a little. Next week is what I'm told.

I'm hearing from Archery Talk that a 5/gr per pound setup will yield 330 fps with a 31" draw.
So with a 80 lb draw and an arrow weighing around 475gr, I should have plenty of Ke.

Why 80lb? Well I never had a problem drawing any bow but the Hoyt's cams make it easy.

I can kick myself in the ass for selling the Hoyt I had a few years ago.

If you can break 80lbs over, why not? I'm a fan of heavy poundage bows to, so I get it.

330fps is quick. Be interesting to see if that is what you actually get.

What was funny was when I told the fellow to order me up the 80#'er the two guys in the shop looked at me as if I was from fucking Mars.....laffin. I've seen allot of guys struggle with 65# and it didn't matter of their size. I shoulda asked if the bow he bought was for his wife..."grin" I woulda got a good laugh.....

Yeah, I still don't believe it. But they say with the 31" module/wheel bumps it up some. The owner of the pro shop told me that it'll do more than what it's spec'd at.

The V-tec I had did 305fps as it was rated (5grs/lb) with a 30.5-31" draw at 78#. That's with all the shit on the string and setup. So it wouldn't surprise me if it does surpass the rated 316fps.
