Well they say ignorance is bliss. I shoot a Pearson Magnum, set at 62 pounds. Had it forever.

I've been very happy with it but last month I happened to pick up a Liberty and Holy Smokes that is a nice handling bow! And this is always how stuff works for me- I handle a whole rack of bows, and this is the one I like enough to think about getting, and danged if it isn't the most expensive one of the bunch! Anyway, the court is still out whether or not I'll upgrade this year or later on.

ROSS 334 at 70lbs for deer and any other legal animal that steps into bow range (30 yards or closer for me).

ONEIDA OSPREY at 45lbs for bowfishing any legal fish.

By the way, not trying to start an arguement here, its obvious we shoot with similar bows. My Matthews was advertised at shooting up to 320 fps. If you ever have a set up that shoots that high, I would bend over and kiss my own ass. The Matthews Z-cam and other solocam weighted technology cam bows that are on the market today will never reach in excess of 260 fps. My draw is set at 70 lbs and I don't think mine can break 250 fps.

I once talked to an archerer who was on the US olympic team and he said bows are advertised under "unique" circumstances and aren't designed or will ever shoot at their advertised speeds. If you are shooting over 230 fps you are doing really well.

I thought my compound was old, but its just right in this group. Nice to see some old bows still in use. I would love an african bow for buff for the same reason I have a 416 Rigby.
