    New Bow

    Pulled the trigger on a BowTech SR6 today. Coming from Hoyt I was set on the helix, just liked the overall feel of BowTech better. I shot a few different bows and the BowTech felt the best. Although I am a little down about the speed as it went 277 with 408gr arrow at 27.5dl and 66lbs in performance mode. Also Gateway Archery in Fort Worth did great. Everyone there was super helpful and knowledgeable. Best experience I have had at a bow shop

          Best part of it, you shot several and got to pick what felt best to you.
          You are getting plenty with 277 fps. My longbow does not get 185fps, and it is more then sufficient for hunting anything I want. Enjoy your new rig, and congrats.

              Thanks everyone. I think I was just expecting it to be faster since IBO is 352. Guess those cams dont perform like they are meant for at shorter DL

                  You gonna loose 35fps with your DL and DW

                  Another 25 for arrow weight
                  Plus string work... 5 ish

                  There’s 65ish FPS plus the % of false they all use now that 342ish. Gonna be about right in today’s advertising market

                    Do you think a #2 cam on a Hoyt 26-28dl that rotates more with shorter draw would not lose as much speed? I guess it doesn’t really matter now but just wondering.

                        Don’t know specs on that bow. But whatever it’s IBO speed is you can apply my same numbers to it set up apples to apples and add same 8-10 off that all inflate speed and get dang close to actual speed. If they advertise 12 FPS slower for example they will still be 12 slower

                        (Assuming you are on performance setting as well)

                          Good looking bow. I thought it would have an aggressive draw cycle by looking at the cams but it is surprisingly smooth. And Gateway is good people, always feels like home there. Congratulations, enjoy your bow.

                            Yes the draw was very nice. I never shot it in comfort mode and I don’t think I will

                              Good looking bow... my friend used to have one of this and i was able to use this while we are hunting and it has a very smooth draw cycle... congratulations for having a very nice bow.
