no doubt there lowedog , that why my standard go to package is a g5 at 70lbs forgiving and decent speed . the heavys have there place in certin conditions and if I could drop another $900.00 Id have a alpha burner at 80 lbs pushing my 600 grain set up insted of mt turbo tech at 92 lbs . my old 100 lb fury sounded like a gun going off aswell. I supose next year there will be even a better set up. I hope every one here remembers this is a hunting forum and the 6 grains per inch should be there minium standard.

ok this is the currant set up no kidding , I have a tubrotech with #100 limbs at 30 inch draw . I shoot it last night at 92lbs it will go to 96 lbs , with a 2419 and a 100 tip it wieghed 607 grains and shot 282 fps thats  107 kkkE.  with a 150 tip it shot 274 at 555 at 96 lbs it shoots a 670 at 274. I shot a fullmedal dangerous game with a wieght tube wieghing 950  grains 229 fps it made right 113 ke. So put your bs smiles where you want and  i'll prove it , Why should I bs you , It's a killer combo and i use it in the wind and or brush where the heavy arrows an advantage . It's not my problem that some pansies can't pull 100 lbs . the realizism is the alhpa burner at 80 lbs almost has the same numbers. sorry tyo burst you nay sayers bubbles.
easy there barney rubble, I don't think anyone was callin bs on ones ability to pull a bow back. Least in my case I just wanted you to answer the questions, don't be so sensitive  :chuckle:  Thanks for explaining the arrow setup, was the reason for me that 670g@275fps didn't equate because I couldn't find any high gpi aluminium. Seems the 2419 has been discontinued and removed from the Easton site. better stock up.

I do know what you mean about smoother aim when shooting a heavier draw weight. I've had the same preference to an extent....that being up to 70lbs. I'll admit I'm too afraid of limb blowing apart at full draw, let alone being strong enough. a 90lb limb malfunction  :yike:  sht going wrong at 70lbs is more than I care to experience.

ha there is another post on here asking about martin cheetah and said that they didnt buy into the martin limbs being prone to breaking and like i said it was the older bows and a bad batch last year. i saw one of the bad batch limbs last year go when he was about 10 feet to the right of me on the shooting line on the warm up range :yike: not very fun. but its not like all there bows are like that a very small % and also that the monster string jumpin off the cam was made up deal :chuckle: i watched a guy that had it happen to him a few months ago at a shoot. he was asking for it, he was shooting the speed pros at like 370fps way to lite of arrows but still was crazy to see :bdid: :yike:

we used to see the older martin limbs splinter but never blow up. I was told that the limb makers last year in this year had a lamination issue . I saw a pair of martin limbs that looked like they didn't have any resin in them . ?I still worry a bit about a carbon arrow blowing up too. so many guys seem to be under spined kinda scary.
