Yep, the SpeedPros. I've got them in 5.5 gpi and 6.2 gpi. So far all I've tried is the 6.2 gpi. The CX200Select was 6.2 before they were eliminated and fortunately I have somewhere in the area of 14 dozen which will only be used for testing and hunting. Maybe not even hunting anymore  |

The Cheetahs are very good arrows.

Vonottoexperience got them and said that the weights were not close to the claims.
I think he said that they resolved something with that but I would check first.

The Cheetahs are very good arrows. CC... I know they'd be great for 3-D. How's the durability factor for hunting? |

They are tougher than Carbon express Cx in my experience. I've had CX split at the back after impact with the target. I never had that with the cheetahs. I switched to unibushing with the CX's and the Speedpro's and haven't had that problem since. The G5 meta nocks work well for protecting the back of the arrow also, but they are kinda pricey.
The spine on the Speedpro's is .323

Bowtech, you were right about the 389fps shots. The arrow without the tip on it must have gone through the chrono crooked.
Today I shot a 247gr at 374fps and a 353gr at 372fps. These are more in line with the other speeds.
My TH 125's on the Speed Pro 5.5's clocked in at 341fps.

Can I assume you meant 347gr and not 247? Oops.  353 at 372fps...don't I wish. Arrow weights were 247gr and 253gr. |

I figured that before I got to the next reply ;D I am seriously considering a follow up with this Iron Mace .... I will make the time in the future |

Definitely has me intrigued as well. Gotta hand it to a company that backs up their product in such a fashion. No other company is willing to warranty their bow to such a light grained arrow. Speaks volumes in the confidence HCA has in the Iron Mace.  |

agreed but I have written High Country recently asking for a guarantee of speed matching the BK2 in which case I would be willing to use their flagship bow in testing.
As of present .... no such guarantee has been forth coming.
