Athens archery

[demontang]

The perfexion let me down, way under ibo and I couldn't gain any speed at all even after a week of playing with cam timing sync let off. Liked my evolution but the Athens khrios I picked up was smother and only 10fps slower with to me easier hold on target. My anthym is honestly the best holding bow to date and I'm getting just shy of 300fps.

Grizzly archery might. He is a little on the fence about it. Cause he picked up xpedition and isn't moving any. Think if people show him they are interested he would pick them up. He doesn't want to get stuck with the first bows he orders.

Should have got in contact with Rick Maybee, or my Brother (Spot ON Archery) they both have Perfexions and neither are under IBO NOT even close.

I'll have to run my Perfexion through a chrono one of these days just to see how close to the IBO it is.

Not to be overly critical demontang, but I could talk with a staff shooter with about any manufacturer out there and I'll hear how their bows are the greatest thing since sliced bread and how all the other manufacturers were let downs to them. They don't meet IBO, they draw shorter than advertised, they don't hold as well.... You are the first person I've heard say they had an Xpedition that wasn't meeting their IBO rating or within range of it to be a moot point. You're pushing Athens, I get it, but there's no need to rag on other bows because some one might be able to point out that a bow like the Anthym was put out by Hoyt 8 years ago in the Katera XL. Smooth draw, holds great, 320 IBO, long ATA, and was about the same price 8 YEARS AGO!

Probably a good time to leave this here.

Well its the true I've talk to Brad and his dad a lot both said the perfexion was a little down from ibo. I was getting 270 at first I sync the cams and played with the cables to try and speed it up and max out at 280fps that was at 29.5" 61lbs with my 362grn arrow. I liked how the bow held just left me looking for the speed everyone said they had. There ordering was a little bit of a sore point too. The money I lost on the xpedition hurt but I just wasn't happy. Everyone has different taste and I haven't shot one of there hunting bows.

I'd love to hunt with a perfextion.

[demontang]

Isn't your draw a little short for the draw length they offer?

[D-Rock425]

Yep bunch of haters over there at expidtion.  Always holding the short guy down.

[demontang]

Lol yeah I looked at them for my wife's bow and they didn't have one short enough.

I'd love to hunt with a perfextion.

I'll tell you how great it was hunting with mine when I get back from Idaho in September.

[demontang]

  that's just mean lmao

[theleo]

that's just mean lmao

Until short people stop asking me to get stuff off the top shelf and then looking at me funny when I ask them to get me something off the bottom shelf because they're closer to it, I shall continue to pick on them. Equal rites and all.

For the record, I don't have anything against Athens I was just pointing out that anybody can find negatives in bows that aren't there's. My Perfexion may very well be under IBO like yours was but at the end of the day, if I was all that worried about speed I'd have bought a different bow. It's cool to see another smaller company talked about and their bows discussed here. I'd just hate to see this forum become like AT where it's guys running down other bows to make there's sound superior. They all have their high and low points and the best bow out there is dependent on the guy buying it.

Know with that all being said, do you think it's possible for me to buy some of D-rocks old bows? I'm thinking they might be the rite draw length for my daughters by the time they're teenagers.
