Was gone all last week for work. This was at the house when I got home....... Have some more setup work to do, will update with my initial impression tonight.
Nice! Lmk how it compares to the Prodigy, so glad they went back to the wooden sideplate style grips.
Sorry for the delay guys......... This is the new Fanatic 2.0, BowTech's new thoroughbred target bow that was launched 3 weeks ago at the ATA show. I have a new BT-X coming as well to hunt with but I suspect that one will be a few more weeks. So I got the bow setup and an initial tune on it late Friday night. I was also able to get to the club on Saturday to run a few dozen arrows through it at distance and get the Accu-Clicks setup out to 50 yards. Initial impression..........it's the smoothest and most forgiving bow that BowTech has ever made. For those of you that have "known" me on the forum for a while, I loved my Constitutions for target oriented stuff. I shot all my best indoor games and won more hardware on the 3D course with those bows than all other models combined. I believe the Constitution was the best target oriented bow they had ever made up until now. The Fanatic 2.0's newer Overdrive Binary system provides much better tuning options, and the Powershift module has this drawing smoother than any target bow I've ever shot. I was also able to use the adjustable draw stop system to get the exact let-off I wanted (~75%), and I was able to get this walkback and bareshaft tuned while maintaining perfect centershot by leveraging the yoke systems. I wish I had this thing back when I was serious about indoor and outdoor archery......... While the Vegas target shown below certainly isn't my best score ever, it is the first Vegas game I've shot in about 7 years. This was only shot at 15 yards (that's all I have in the basement), but not too bad for a hunter class rig that I only had maybe 50 arrows through before shooting. I'll be setting this up to shoot a local indoor 3D league this winter and maybe a couple of local 3D's this summer too just for fun. I know we don't have a ton of guys that are into target bows on the forum, but if you have any specific questions let me know..........
Looks great. I've shot a buddy's original fanatic at our club a few times and that bow is sweet. Great shooter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Awesome looking bow!!! My Carbon Knight was supposed to be at the door today. I just got home to the "UPS" sticker on the door. The "sorry we missed you" note. They couldn't deliver mine unless some is home and over 21 years old to sign for it. Gotta love NY. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to pick up at the UPS shipping center. Lucky for me it's only like 3 miles down the road.
So much cooler than the BT-X!! I was not expecting it to be a target/3d rig! I cannot decide between this bow and the Halon X for a 3d bow.
