HA must be an a$$hole. I've heard several people complain about him. That's why I did not stop in ther a while back when I was in the area.

Like in racing, HorsePower costs money. In bowhunting FPS costs money. I guess I have a mid pack bow.

Not bought a new bow since 1995 (PSE Mohave).... I went to a crossbow a couple of yrs back, to try something different.... Going to test out a PSE X-Force Vendetta XS..... Only shoots around 330 fps......
Remember that the IBO speeds that are advertised are with 70# limbs and I think @ 30" inches of draw with as light an arrow as the bow can handle. 5grains per pound of draw weight.
Not trying to burst your bubble, but too many guys get sucked in to buying a bow based on the advertised speed, only to find out that once adjusted to the shooters preferance and using a hunting arrow the bow shoot much slower. There aren't to many guys that shoot a 30" draw and hunt with a 350grn arrow. Also remember that Speed sells bow and accuracy kills deer.

HA is one of those guys that knows EVERYTHING and anybody that walks in his shop get's treated like a begginer. He fixes bows the way he wants them..not the way I want them.

I just bought it and its set on 71 lbs at 30.5 draw lenght..... We put the gun on it and it was 334 fps.... The guy setting it up told me that he wish, he had my draw lenght.... I guess being 6'3" and having long arms help... Brian spent 2 hours getting me set up today....

Congrats and hope it works out for you! Shooting that kind of speed will demand your bow and arrows be tuned good, hope you do well with it!
