Mathews all the way.  I just bought the a new DXT and will pick it up tommorrow.  Now my Mathews outback will be my back up bow.  My DXT is only 60 lbs draw, I am starting to believe the speed craze is overhyped and taking away from good shooting and acuracy.   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Bowtech allegiance..314fps...80 ft.lbs. of kinetic energy....HHA optimizer 5119 single pin calibrated sight,,,Robin hooded a Easton FMJ the second day I had it..from 30 yards in I'm shooting quarter size groups.. At sixty my groups are the size of a tuna can..At 43 yards last year my bull took three steps and collapsed dead..As far as sound goes it is allot quieter that all my friends Bows, That was coming from them..the only knock I would say  is they tent to be less forgiving, so If you have a bad habit or two you may not like the results....Here's some food for thought, If you don't have time to range your shot  or range a limb you didn't see-or missjudge the range buy say ten yards...  Your still in the kill zone ...If I put my single pin sight on 30yards. I'm 4 inches high at 20yards and 4 inches low at 40yards, Both shots are still in the kill zone even on a deer..As far as kinetic energy goes velocity is in that mathematical equation twice mass once?? I think most people would be happy with 80 ft lbs of kinetic energy?? :twocents: :twocents: :twocents: :twocents:

I'm almost certain that you're kinetic energy calculation is more than 100 ft/lbs off... Unless you are shooting a 1280 grain arrow at 314 FPS.....try this place.

Eighty is still pretty damn good.  I think Mark is lookin to put a little extra money in his pocket, plus he doesn't have the facilities for any  stock now.  I figured you would've been postin up some pictures of some more sheds...what gives?  Have you been going shed hunting with Brewer at all?

I shoot a 07 Hoyt vetrix. Fuse 2 piece quiver,fuse stabilizer custom Hoyt/fuse sight,fuse whisker biscuit. It's set at 85lbs with a 30" draw,I average 297 fps. I shoot easton axis arrows with blazer's and wraps with 100 slick trick magnums for a total of 516 grains. I'm a huge fan of kinetic energy and I have no problem blowing through anything. I had a 06 supertec set up almost the same way just alittle lighter arrow.

The Mathew's DXT had me interested but I can not find a shop that has them,anyone know of any? After the test I saw last year of the top 4 it looks like Mathew's is the most honest of them all with there numbers almost spot on to what they claim in the brochures,no other company even came close to what they claim.
