75.5% let off
28.5" measured draw
363-364 gr. arrows
289-290 fps

Sweet looking rig. I have the Nealy strings and cables on my Synergy, and so for so good.

That is an awesome bow. I love the AT edition bows, they look great and there are not any other companies doing the black on camo thing.

How did the cam change effect the performance of the bow? I was thinking about get the 07 cams for my E-Force. I've heard from some that it speeds the bow up, and from others that it actually slows it down.

His are updated 06 cams. Not Synergy cams.
It hurts to see that 500. I miss my AT. E-500. Very nice bows.

I believe it slowed it down a little bit, but the bow is set a couple of #'s less weight now and the draw is nearly 3/8" shorter than it was with the limbs backed out from 70#. These mods on this cam draw a little bit smoother than on the original K8 cams too.IMO. With these changes I think it's 5-6 fps slower but more pleasant to shoot.
On my other E-500 I changed to 27.5" speed mods to get the draw shorter with the limbs backed out. I'll have to go shoot the same arrow through it this am, it's also set at 62+ #'s.
OK I shot the same 363 gr. arrow from the other bow which is +1.66#'s but using the speed mods @ 27.5" to get 28.5" measured vs the above E-500 with 28" 500 mods and 28.5" measured. 5 shot ave. was 286.4 fps. So it is 2.6 fps slower but is set 1.66# heavier should give +3.2 fps but losing -5 fps for the speed mods. 286.4 + 1.8 = 288.2.
288.2 vs 289 is a push on speed. If I had some 27.5" 500 mods I might gain 5 fps with the original K8 cams vs the replacement cams.
