Ok... So i finally started drink'n the koolaid.. And went over to a buddies house to shoot through a chronograph.. Well I have my osprey which is fairly new considering it's in swamp assassin.. And marked 35-55 pounds and a short.. So we put it on the scale and maxed out it's only at 45 pounds!! What the F**k?? The whole reason I bought this thing was for more penetration.. The fastest it ever shot was 125fps but averaged between 115-120 fairly consistently.. What kind of bullchit is this?? You buy a bow and it's 10 pounds less than it reads on the sticker when maxed out!! That's not cool.. Am I missing something here?? And speed wise it's about the same as the mission craze or menace.. Where's this hard hitting power everybody talks about?? Speed is speed and I don't care if it's a skippy bow.. If it shoots the same speed as an oneida then you're goin to get the same penetration!! For $500 plus dollars why is this son of a ***** not shooting 55 pounds?? I do have some 50-70 pound power limbs.. Is it safe to put these on a cast riser osprey and shoot 60#'s?? Is this the only way I'm going to get the performance I'm looking for?? Sure it's smooth and looks cool but who cares if it won't perform!!!
I'm a little pizzed with my osprey!!

I really hadn't thought about that until tonight.. Makes sense though... Any idea how much difference in speed it will make set at 45#'s changing from 80% to 60% let off??

TTG can answer that better than me but I don't think 80>60 is gonna help you very much.

Like OBG said...80% to 60% isn't going to help you very much.Any decrease in let-off will help but I can tell you from experience that you wont be happy unless you knock as much of it in the head as you possibly can.The only way to do that is with 10's and 11's.I don't know if it's possible but if it is then someone needs to make some zero % let off mods.I would pay a hundred dollar bill for a set if I had to.

1...Pretty sure the factory isn't open at 10:00 at night!! 2...I bought it used 3...maybe I'm not the only one with this problem 4... I'm pretty sure if I had heard this info before I would not have been so surprised!! 5... It made me laugh!!

AND 6... THEY BY GOD SHOULDN'T MARK THEM 55# BOWS IF THEY WON'T DO IT!! That's the point here.. It doesn't matter if anyone thinks that's overkill or not!! It doesn't matter if you can kill with less.. I can to.. But I want my other 10 pounds I expected and paid for!!! The point is.. It is not putting out.. I posted on here just to make sure it wasn't something stupid I was doing.. But NO! I don't care if the koolaid just got pissed in!!!

yeaaaaaaaaa I think the problem is ........this guy is a big ole P*ZZY and oneida knew he would eventually end up with this bow and they didn't want him to throw out his arm and catch a lawsuit so they purposefully changed limbs and labeled it wrong. Im pretty sure I hit a long nose gar about 35 lbs buried it 3 inches from the nock @ 20 yards......pretty sure it hits hard enough.
