Some of you will notice that long draw length has a TON of advantages in the speed department. My cousin shot a pse x force 30 in draw and 83lbs, and yes he is built like a gorilla!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Last year it was 620 grains out of 51# going 205 fps. This year it will be the same, but 60#. Haven't chrono'ed it yet this year. Think that puts last years KE around 58. I don't really care about KE though.

Had to look up the stats...  80 lbs 30 inches 340 fps 430 arrow grains KE 111lbs
Some of you may not know it but the Omen has the WHOLE draw weight until you hit the wall (all the way back on the draw) so you draw 80lbs the whole 29.5 in... That is unlike nearly every other bow.
