I think I will order the 80# bow now that I read some of these posts. I've been feeling a little down lately. Its worth a try. Small price to pay if it makes me feel like a man. if that doesn't work I'll just keep yelling at you guys Or maybe i'll kick my dog or something.

 :chuckle:Its OK John, you dont ahev to feel down on yourself because you can only draw 57 pounds  Oh by the way the bear you packed out whole on your back  must have weighed what  40 pounds

I did a little photo shop on the bear I'm not sure how you are going to make that mount look like a bear. Do your best to  make it look like good. Sorry
I'm going to go lift some weights so I can pull my 80#er. You bunch of little girly men.

I shot it as well, very nice bow.  My concern is that I like to do my own work on my bows, and the press i have maybe not be able to press it.  It has a significant tug the last 2 inches of the draw but other than than it is an awesome bow.

I can't wait to shoot one. I thought with that kind of speed you would probably give up some noise and vibration or shock. Just curious. Now for the speed debate on this thread, I personally don't shoot for rediculous speed anymore, but I have a friend that says he can't afford a rangefinder so he wants the flatest shooting bow he can get. So he is, was shooting a bowtech at 90lbs until he split a limb. He was really mad when the company wouldn't sell him another set of those limbs. I can't remember if his new ones are 80 or 85lbs. Just thought it was funny. anyway, can't wait to see the MONSTER in action.

Man thats a fast bow, I was just on a job the last todays pulling up to 320lb of pressure with both hands pulling. If I held the scale in one hand and pulled the rope I could only get 100lbs on it and couldnt imagen pulling a bow at the pound age.

Well let me tell ya pulling 100 lbs is not easy. It really is pretty freaking hard. When you start pulling it is a long hard slow pull all the way back. I would hunt with it like that for dangerous game, I would love to see how it would fare against a wild boars shoulder plate. I think it would make short work of it.

Howard Hill used a 115 lb long bow to kill 3 elephants.

There is a video on youtube of a guy shooting a 100lb Elite bow and FOBs.  The guy is pulling the thing back nice and smooth like it is a 60lb bow.  Big dude too!!!

I wonder what kind of Elite it was.  I have a buddy with an E500 (an older one, 2005 I think ) and it is a %##@ to draw.  I have an Elite Ice that only goes to 60 and it's not hard to draw.
