Title: Bow Tech Admiral Problems---
Post by: MuleyMadness on April 25, 2010, 10:48:51 AM: So a buddy of mine has a 2008 Admiral...he just put brand new winners choice strings on it and maxed the limbs down to 73lbs....for some reason it seems that his bow doesnt shoot as fast or as good now with the new strings and higher poundage....it actually seems slower than it did when he had it at 65lbs of pull and the factory strings...

Any suggestions here and or any ideas on how to get the bow to shoot faster?

ThANKSSSSSSSSSSSSS

when it said bow tech problems i thought it would be another blown up bow :chuckle: :stirthepot:

Anything on the string will slow it down, silencers, nock points, etc..
Heavier strings will slow it down....
Poundage (weight) does not necessarily transfer to speed, try adjusting it down to see if it changes.
Lighter arrows will increase speed also....

I think JBar might be right about the string. You might want to do a quick comparison to see if the string are the same size.
