Z-28 bows
Well here it goes. I am going to be as factual as possible and not get into my anger. I was informed today that my order on the z28 will not come. To my understanding they will not send out the old style Z28 with or without cuda cams/revolution cams. The bow is the new style of Z28 which has a different riser, different cams and I am not even sure on the other stats but is definitely slower and no option of cuda cams. I am going to talk to Lonnie or Kristen tomorrow.
The new Z is improved over the '08, what's the problem??

You will be pleased with the improvements.
Unfortunately I wont and I wont accept anything less than I ordered. I will lose speed with what I am shooting now as opposed to gaining some speed with brace height.
if you were so concerned about speed why didnt you order a GT500?

I wanted the brace height with the speed. I allready have a bow with a 7.25" brace height.
The bad thing is I have no way of testing out how the new Z fits and I get differing opinions on how the cams run, even contrary to how they fit me.
You were misinformed that the speed of an 08' Z 28 @ 27" would be 336 IBO?
The Z's ran about 3/16" long, this is why there is a new cam on the 09's, so they are exact on the draw.

Hi Kevin......no. IBO is all set at 70lb, 30" draw, 350 gr. arrow. I know this. When I say IBO it is with those standards.......I was not misinformed as you list the Z at 336. Sorry you misundertood something I stated.
On the draw length on the Z28 I shot how did a 27" draw fit me as I normally shoot at 26" draw? I have been confused about this from day one. Can you clarify this? It would be greatly appreciated. With the new Z would I shoot at 26" or 27" and what is the IBO?
By the way what are all of the specs including the weight of the new z?
