Got the call today and got to my dealers in time to spend about an hour setting it up my a new QAD hd rest, Spott Hogg, S-coil stabilizer, peep and d-loop. After adjusting a few things (draw stop was in wrong position) I shot it through the chrony. Before those stats though I gotta say I am well pleased with the draw cycle, it draws smooth (though stiffer than my Energy, which is to be expected) through the cycle with no humps at all and drops off to a nice solid valley. At the shot it's pretty dead in the hand and nice and quiet with only the string suppressor and nothing on the string. Fit and finish are pretty darn perfect, G1 camo is a great camo. Nealy strings and cables look great, although the serving for the sts is barely catching the sts (my anality will have to move that :p). I'll get a pic tomorrow as it's been a long day today.

Specs 29" 61.4 pds, speeds were with d-loop and peep (not yet tied in)

Birth Certificate: 300 grain 326fps
My tests: 364 grain 291, 434 grain 270

Well shot it a good bit today, I did make a mistake on the reported speed so here's an update:

weight/speed
304/313
324/306
363/290
386/283
435/270

What I thought was quite interesting was that the heavier I got it just didn't seem to lose as much speed as I thought it would. I need to check the Kinetic energy on the 435/270.

I was shooting the heavier arrows 435grain Easton Full Metal Jackets and it shot flat from 20 to 27 yards on a quarter sized spot. Moved back in five yard increments all the way back to 48 yards. My groups at 48 yards were around 5 inches. This bow holds very well for me and was a lot of fun to shoot. Noise is minimal with only the STS and factory bowjax on the limbs.
