Would this be worth it?
« on: December 16, 2018, 01:37:05 PM »
So I’ve got almost 10gpi, 70# draw, Mathews Chill, 150 grain tips, 476 grain total weight but a speed of only 245 FPS. I’ve got a 27” draw, so that’s why my speeds low, looking at my momentum and KE though, if I add 25 FPS with my arrow set up I’ll be in the zone of “cable of taking anything in the world” moose and such or blowing through a heavy shoulder. And to add speed, gotta add draw length.

So I found the goat tuff equalizer release. Adds 1-3” of draw depending on how you set up the release. Looks actually pretty good and seems to have good reviews online. My bow shop has all the mods on hand so we can get the draw to what I want. Only reason I haven’t bought it yet- it’s $200 and in 5 years no one besides Goat tuff has made one. I feel like if it was a great idea more companies would’ve tried to make their own? Has anyone used one? Would that 10-15ft-lb increase be worth $200?

Or am I sitting good where I am? I just added a compound back into my list of longbows and recurves so I’m trying to make my compound the ultimate hunting tool.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

If you can kill something with a recurve that chill work work fine the way it is...

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

IMO those are a gimmick. Compromises anchor point and form for speed.

As you sit now you have plenty for any animal you want to hunt.  :twocents:

Well, that’s all I needed to hear. $200 stays in the pocket. Shooting out to 80 yards I was still pretty impressed trying to pull arrows from my buddies 18-1 target.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

If you wanted a bit flatter or faster don’t be afraid to drop some arrow weight. You’ll still have plenty of oomph for anything in wa.
