Quote from: theleo on June 08, 2016, 01:45:28 PMI'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!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.

Everyone has different taste and I haven't shot one of there hunting bows.That's the first I have heard of that from either of them, I talk to them regularly, (I was in brads wedding) and they both got their bows from my brother (Spot On Archery) one thing guys got to remember is Xpeditions draw lengths are SPOT ON not a 1/2 inch long like EVERY other bow company out. I have shot 29 for my ever and I had to get my Xcentric in 29.5.
Mine was set .25 Long with 29mods and I got the 29.5 mods later. I have a draw board I check the lengths on. The xcentric is the one I've heard is faster. Talked with Justin about them. Maybe my 2016 was different then the 15 but it was under. Point is I wasn't happy and kept looking.
