Matrix G3 at 78# and 29.5". Get just under 295 fps shooting 475 gr FMJs

I prefer my right arm. Compound bows are for weenies. I can throw an arrow or spear faster then any of you guys can shoot with your expensive bows and I am much more accurate too. If I can see the animal with my naked eye then they are in range.

It takes years of practice along with meditation and a strict diet of spinach for strength and cheetah steaks for speed.

Crap. Guess all this broccoli and jaguar is no good then

Nope, but your pee might disorient them long enough to get an arrow into one

My list might take me all day to type.

My slowest WA legal bow would be a Truth2 64# 400 grain arrow @ 276.43
Fastest WA legal bow would be a Motive 7 68# 405 grain arrow @ 309.46

As of today my favorite WA legal bow would be Experience 62# 390 grain arrow @ 295.76

Speed's calculated by sight-in 20 and 100 yards using Archers Advantage.  Most chrono's I've used will give me an extra 5-8 fps over AA.

Bear Encounter made in 2012

27" draw, 70# draw weight, 422 grain arows, FOC?

IBO 310, real speed    maybe 250?

[turkeyfeather]

Yeah, well mine is bigger than all of yours and shoots a bigger....ah projectile than all yours.

It's all about the diameter of the projectile, not the speed.  Micro diameter projectile

Bear Assault with a 440 gr Beaman Hunter ICS set at 70 lbs with a 29 inch draw. Only shoots about 279 fps but it's fun.

Quite possibly the best bow Bear has ever made   Mine is Canada/Wyoming legal   70# 390 grain arrow @ 303.67.  Sure puts the hurtin' on caribou, sheep, deer and antelope!  So killer it's deemed unfair and illegal in the state of Washington

Agreed.
Bear has made some major leaps the past 3yrs. But they have had some QC issue bows hittin the shelves. Glad they've stepped it up though.

Growing pains I think.  I spoke with my contacts there mid season last year.  They were concerned because they couldn't hire and train good assembly workers fast enough to meet the demand.  When value and performance collide things can get pretty exciting pretty fast!   

I remember similar issues from just about all the major companies in years with huge growth spurts.  One of the more amazing ones was when an entire order (at least 20 bows) from Xi came in with the cams on upside down (left hand orientation for right hand bows).  Once had a Hoyt come back from warranty repair with the same issue.  Took me a while to realize why the yoke was on the bottom limb.  Kept looking at it saying, "Something's wrong!"  Felt like an idiot it took me more than a second to figure it out - I think they revoked my genius I.D. card for that   When PSE came out with the a-symmetrical idler wheel (awesome idea btw) I flipped more than one around that was installed backward.  All seemed to happen when those companies were experiencing huge growth in a short period of time.

I settled on my Bear VIP bow today and got it ordered.  Was back and forth with the Venue and Agenda 7 as well as 60 or 70# for months.  Finally chose to go with the 60# Venue in Shadow black.  That new S13 single cam was just too much for me to pass up for 10 fps in speed.  Hoping it will replace my Darkhorse as the new blind bow of choice.  I really like the smooth draw and lighter weight when stuck in a hot box all day waiting for a shot.  Archers Advantage says I should expect 285 with a 6.5 grain arrow (4# less draw weight and almost 10 fps gain from the same arrow in the Darkhorse).  Feeling sorry for those turkeys and antelope already!

Mathews Z-7 Xtreme.  440g 28 draw 70# and chrono hits low 280's.  290 with 420grains.  Seems pretty good.  Plenty Fast for me. Best part is its not a bowtech!
