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.

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.
