    Not even one of the guys who has tested or who even owns a 2011 modell has measured his speed ?

    Very strange .

    Is it only me or are both bows around 15-18fps below the advertised speeds?

    Would like to hear some more real world speeds. Please also tell with what you loaded your string.

    I know.

    I just allowed 12fps difference for each inch of DL
    1 fps per 5grains of arrow weight which differs from 5gr./#
    5 -7 fps difference for a loaded string
    3 fps for the 5gr./# ration shot at a 60# setup instead of 70#


    Would like to see a test just with a tie-on nocking point at exactly 70#, DL30" with a 350gr. arrow.
    Just to verify and to minimze the room for error.
