    Faktor turbo came in today. Excited to get her set up. Not sure on a sight or stabilizer yet. Shooting my 446 grain FMJ at 285 fps.

    Sweet bow. I was looking into them as well. Any reason why you went with the turbo over the regular or the 30?

    Got a great deal on a brand new turbo and a little extra speed never hurts

    Yeah it's an addiction. Really not too bad. Most of the time I am able to break even when I sell the old one.

    I guess I don't have room to talk. I've had Helim, a Carbon Knight, a ZXT and now the Chill R. This Chill R isn't going anywhere for a long time!! I managed the same, selling the one bow always pretty much paid for the next.
