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!!

Good idea. :tu: Same arrow weight and draw length. Some people will be happy--more will be pissed but let the chips fall where they may. Gargod should do this test. Let's take up a collection to cover expenses.

X 100,000. That's what I've been screaming all along.A little light draw weight bow with a dead nuts tune that shoots fast will kill 90+% of the fish you ask it to if you do your part.
I know Kuger day fishes mostly so I wont rag on him too much.:tu:

Just an FYI, we didn't sell the bow but you do realize the limbs are now 30/50 or close. The decals still read 35/55 but they only come 30/50 now. It is not uncommon to have a variance in limb weight and scales for that mater. I have seen as low as 46 and as high as 53 come in, also 1 more thought, did you adjust the weight? They do not come maxed out from the factory!!! Hope that helps!
Careful Hoopty, I still shoot my 35/55's at 52#'s. Clear water makes you do crazy things!!!!!!

Im not bashing Oneida but they do need to come up with a better way of advertising their weight range, it seems everyone gets different answers according to what day of the week it is as to what their bows are built at. Lots of confusion here and it hasnt been addresed at all...

There is some truth to that.Speed is half of the equation.Without speed there is no kinetic energy.If the weight remains constant and speed goes up or down then so does your energy.
