My bow finally arrived. A Destroyer 350 with 50# limb So far I feel it's balance is good, albeit slightly top heavy. The draw cycle has that distinctive hump at the beginning. You almost fly back to the wall because you're half expecting a hard pull to almost the end. There's plenty of valley and the bow will not whip your arm forward on a let down like an 82nd or BlackKnight. Not the case. Tommorrow, after work, I'll break out the chronograph and see if it will beat the Black Knight. I'm thinking it should.  My new arrow wraps   The Birth Certificate   |

That's crazy! 330fps! Serious? If I bought a 70# model, I could only hope for that speed at 28". How do they do that?  |

Great looking bow and 330fps is great. I just wonder if when you chrono it that the speed and the BC speed match . Lets see what it will do |

Sorry, Spike, me and BT could not resist  ;D If that bow could actually hit 330fps @ 25" draw, than it's IBO would be what, 370-380fps? 330fps @50lbs, 29" draw still ain't half bad  |

Some observation: The Bad: This bow came out of the box set at the wrong drawlength, top cam leaning , and cams slightly out of synch. Seriously? That came out of the factory like that. The first thing that BT said is "return it" and quite frankly, he's right. This is a $1000.00 flagship bow, not the compound you find at the local Walmart hanging beside the fiberglass arrows.  The Good: I shoot this bow very well and it is very easy to shoot. I think that 25" might be a touch too short for me, but it still offered me no problems. The draw cycle is great for a speedbow and 275fps with close to IBO weight arrows @ 49lbs is hard to argue with. I had a robinhood the first day out with it-to be sure BT's tuning skills played a big part in that. Bottom line: A very good bow. Perfect fit and finish. There is some learning curve involved with working on this bow, especially with the adjustment of the drawlength. Check those specs out of the box. I'm too trusting~I just looked for obvious flaws at the shop and discovered the timing and cam lean issue at home. |
