I have a Fred Bear TRX 32. The original sticker said it was adjustable from 50-70 lbs. The guy I bought it from years ago said he had it at 70#. I had brought it down because I didnt have the strength at the time and it was more for small game and targets anyway. After I learned more about archery I realized my draw length was set way to long for me. I got 3 different cam modules for it and managed to get it to the right draw length and my accuracy and comfort shooting became impressive to myself. I had it for 3-4 years before I started archery hunting. When I did my first year archery for elk in 2011, I tried getting it back up in poundage but the highest I could get it was 60# even after dinking around with it at the guys at the shop at Bob's Sporting goods in longview. I was ok with that at the time and then my second year doing archery I tagged my first bear and was more than happy with its performance. That was a 200 lbs blackbear though, not an elk. I got a muzzleloader last year and am trying that for a couple years as my primary but I have my points built up pretty well for multiseason elk and think I have a good shot at it for the 2014 season. I shoot 125 grn Magnus stinger broadheads, 2 blade with the little bleeder blades on the sides. The arrows however I would like to get something a little heavier. I had been shooting the arrows I found at Walmart for $20 a box of 6 after season. I want to step things up a little bit and shoot a heavier arrow and would like to take the poundage up. That is the issue. I cannot tighten it down any more and I swear that I have tried all of the modules. Anyone have any experience with this bow? Or know what my issue may be? I am starting to think the guy I bought it from may have been wrong about the poundage, but yet again the sticker did say 50-70, but it has faded away now.
Hopefully any diehard archery guys wont hold it against me that I am doing muzzy as my primary now, haha
