I put my 100 limbs on my turbo tesh last night , got a 2419 at 605 grains to fly 282 at 91 lbs 107 ke. the alpha burner does the same at 80 lbs , 10lbs = $900.00

For whatever reason they call it the McPherson Monster 7.0. In any case scroll through the pages and you can see how each did. IMHO if you're looking for a speed bow I'd get the Bowtech Destroyer. That sucker is smoking fast and out of the bowtests had the least amount of vibes. It's also REALLY SMOOTH!!!! Can't get better than that.

He sold it and started Mathews, only to just buy it back recently. Because Mathews is known for single cam bows they decided to give the Monsters the original name of McPherson. That's what the booklet that came with my Monster said anyway.
