Speed question put to rest!
« on: October 18, 2009, 08:07:12 AM »
I just read an article in Field and Stream magazine where they tested the Monster XLR8 and the OMEN.

They were pretty darn close.

 Monster was 321fps with a 28 inch draw 70 lb draw and a 388 grain arrow. 80% letoff but the draw length was about 3/8" longer.

Omen was 319 fps with the same stats except the letoff was 70-75% according to the article with 3/8" shorter draw.

Looks like a toss up if you ask me :dunno:

No surprise unless your a PSE fan.  I just think those PSEs are too ugly, and the workmanship is not equal to what I have seen with the Mathews and Hoyt for that matter.

But the PSE has 1/2" more BH at 5.5" and the XLR8 is 5"

and to say the PSE is UGLY..I think it looks good in this PIC.

The article did say that the PSE was quieter though. :)
