308fps with a 396 grains arrow is plenty to go though an animal. IMO you would be wasting speed for extra KE you don't need
Kewl!! The site only shows a fraction of what I offer. Let me know if you need a price on anything. There is never any harm in shooting! Anytime you want you can come over and put it on the Ol' Man. I'm easy!! Dan
Have you shot one? I'm sure you are going to Love it! I picked up a dealership and am awaiting on the first 2011's to dock Dan
I just chrono'd my 2009 Z28 last weekend (29.5" / 71#). We had issues with it picking up my carbon arrow but it shot a 439 grain FMJ at 274 fps. I figure that puts my 566 grain arrow at 250 fps. Mine's got a little slower custom string (UltraCam) so you might see a bit better speed (maybe +5fps) with the 452x factory string and cable.
No, I haven't shot one. The closest dealer is 6 hours away. I haven't shot since I was 14y.o., but I've been a fan of "the little guy" for most of my adult life (something about my dad teaching small business management, and entrepreneurship in college...). I started out looking at Hoyt, Mathews, PSE, etc., but then I found New Breed Archery and Maitland. I was on the fence for a long time about whether to get a Maitland or a New Breed. I've ordered a Maitland, so we'll see how I like it. I have a short draw, and I've heard that the New Breed Nemesis is the best for retaining speeds for us short draw folks, so I might have to compare the two to see. I have the VTR limbs/cams coming, so I should have plenty of speed to keep a 425gr arrow above 250fps. I've talked to a bunch of folks who gave up their Hoyt/Mathews/Bowtech/PSE/etc., to get a New Breed bow, and then they sold their New Breed bow to get a Maitland bow. I'm not much for advertising spreads in magazines, but actual user input will get my attention, and I haven't heard a single person complain about their Maitland. I shot a Hoyt CRX32 at the pro shop (pretty smooth), and folks tell me that the Maitland is smoother than that, so I think I'll be happy. Now, if only he would come out with a youth bow. I have 7 boys, and 4 of them want to shoot bows (heck, he would have an entire beta testing team in one family!). As it is, I'm hoping I can afford a couple New Breed Spawns if they come out.
