    I have a Mathews trg 9. Only bow I have and have a whitetail hunt coming up and was wondering if you guys think it would work. 28" draw at 70lbs 75% let off. I shoot carbon maxima hunters. Thanks for any info.

    Absolutely. The Mathews FX and Q2 IBO is only 308 and has killed many deer. If you are worried about kinetic energy shoot a quality fixed blade head, wait for a complete broadside shot and keep range 30 yards and under. Good luck on your hunt.

    Nope! Need a bow with an IBO of 354, 80lb draw, and arrows over 500g

    I didn't mean to say that I had. I meant I'm gonna trade for one if so. And does anyone have any reviews on the trg 9 or how they shoot?

    I shot a TRG7 for 3D this year and they're truly great shooting bows! I'm assuming you're getting the black?

    They're not speed demons. My TRG7 with the 75% mods was more like a 307-310 IBO. It's going to be on the heavy side but it's one of the most stable bows I've ever shot. I did pretty well with it at the end of ASA season.
