    After a 2 month long wait, I finally got the call that my Halon 6 came in. I have off work tomorrow so I get to spend some time at the range. Hopefully its not slow like my HTR. Granted I was only pulling 53 pounds. I was getting 242fps. You would think I'd break the 250 mark LOL

    I probably wont get any sleep tonight :)

    I have extra vacation time that got rolled over from last year. I'm taking the day off of work to go play with my new bow. HAHA how sad is that!

    I really hope so. Based on that Backcountry fps calculator online it says I should be closer to 260 at 53 pounds. Not sure how accurate those calculators are though.

    53 lbs
    27" draw
    Easton axis arrows (about 392 grains)

    Well here she is! Just gotta name her now. :)

    53.88 pounds and was getting 257fps with my 392 grain easton axis arrows.

    The bow is a little heavier than what I expected with my sight, rest, stabilizer on it now. Oh well, still fun to shoot.
