If only the BowTech Insanity had an IBO speed of 5-10 FPS faster...
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

Really? More than 355? I'm curious as to what another 10fps would give you...

You should just stop in and shoot it... They gave one away today while I was there, but it seemed a bit fixed to me, so that turned me off.

I've been so ridiculously busy working lately, otherwise I'd be down at the show drooling on all the goodies.

If you'd like to drop one off on your way home, I'll be sure to give it a well thought out and thorough review.

Did you shoot one?

I'm going to shoot tomorrow- wanted to cover the show today and make sure I didn't miss anything.
Tomorrow I can have some fun. Maybe enter for a chance to win one and if I do I'll leave it with you.

Heck, my 2008 BowTech 82nd Airborne is rated at 350 FPS. I'm not going to drop a grand on a new BowTech that's only rated at 5 FPS faster. I'm drawing 52# right now, and want to drop down to 50# even. That way, instead of having a 60# bow turned down in poundage, I can have a 50# bow turned up to its maximum draw weight. BUT, I need to pick up 5-10 FPS to offset the loss of speed from dropping 2# of draw weight, in order to continue exceeding 300 FPS.

Bragging rights is about all I can think of.

So, did you have a chance to shoot the new Obsession bows? If I could afford a new bow this year, the Lethal Force would be one of theonly ones that could tear me away from MaitlandUSA's Halo34.
