Geno C Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I shoot 65 #'s from my Mathews switchback XT. Seems to be plenty of kenetic energy for me, have had plenty of pass throughs with this setup. This year I'm trying the rage 2 broadheads, curious to see how they perform. i shoot the rage 2 blades on my switchback xt at 72lbs. the setup i have is great! those BH are awesome...

NYBowhunter Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have shot the Grim Reaper blades for a few years now with great success, however I'm impressed with the rage 2 in that they make a whopping 2" cut. Hopefully I will be able to see how effective the Rage blades are. Hey, this year we will have close to identical setups....haha...Not sure about you but I really like the Mathews switchback Xt its a real pleasure to practice and hunt with.

Karpteach Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 shooting 61# will probably go lower when it gets colder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpStateRedNeck Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I shoot 65# draw, '08 Bowtech Commander, with Rage 2 Blades. Even with the rage mechanical where they lose alot of kinetic energy on impact it still broke the ribs on both sides. 65# feels light to me, some times the let off catches me by surprise. But after sitting in the cold for god knows how many hours, and being bent at the waist drawing I didn't even notice it. A little more weight might be nice on the draw so I feel the let-off a little more, but I don't want to change my setup at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet old bill Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I am shooting 60 lb with the compound and 50 lbs with the recurve bows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I'm in the upper 50's #. My old bow i had to go way higher and got less FPS..... No need with these new ones ! All pass throughs and 5 inches into the dirt. I don't know, I can do 16 dead hang chin ups, and while my deadlift has dropped to under 400#s its still close, so I fugure I can pull back way more weight just don't know why I'd want to.

Geno C Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 thought it was 35lbs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Technically I beleive it is worded some thing to the effect of "greater than 35 pounds" so really it would be 36# and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 DoeWhacker you right....this is from the Hunting and Trapping Guide regarding legal implements. " Long (Stick), recurve or Compound bow with draw weight greater then 35lbs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
