2008 Dream Season with a forgiving hopefully 33" ATA and 7" brace height. 340 IBO but I chickened out and got a 60lb. maybe I can get it to max a little higher.

Thats because PSE is the way to go. Scott I think you will be really happy with that bow.

I bet you can crank that bow down to 62-63 lbs.

I basically got a Bowtech Destroyer 340 for $400 loaded that might be a little more violent but very shootable.

Good for you. I dont know which one you got exactly but it should be lightning fast. The draw cyle is probably different thatn the Destroyer. You should be better with it.

Why? When are you guys going to learn that you don't have to crank it up? Cranking if for the radio!

That is the the biggest rookie mistake! Ask anyone that has been shooting over 10 years!

Don't care which way I crank a bow,up or down I like about 58-60 d/w.Thats the speed area I like and doesn't give my shoulders trouble.



Brayden (Lazy L's Southern Comfort) you will be missed! You were more than a pet you were my reason to rise and return for many days! You were my rock!

You're not trying to be a macho man (first of all we know you just aint)and cranking is just a rookie misconception.. They just don't know enough yet! Like the brutha said, "They's just behind they ears!"

I have a similar bow and we tightened the bolts on the limbs and it draws at 62 lbs so that is why I made that comment. From now on I will defer to your infinite knowledge.

I did shoot the Destroyer yesterday and it was amazing but I just couldn't find a way to drop 900 on the bare bow. It was far supperior and as fast as the new 7.0 monster I shot yesterday as well. Bowtech has something figured out just not enough cheap used ones out yet.

Yes they are stupid expensive. I believe if they were the same price or a hair cheaper than the Z7 you would see more flying around. That price tag hurts and scares alot of people away.
