I see a lot of you guys like the D2 for price and quality. I saw a few post where it said that the D2 can be set at 32 lbs. but on line discriptions say draw weight is up to 29ls. I like shooting at 32lbs, anyone know if these will go up to 32lbs.? can the D2 be snap shot? anyone had any problems with them? thanks for your imput.

I think they have 40# models also. Yes it's nothing more than the cuda renamed and changed just a little. Snap shooting is good and I love my D2's I just shoot mine at 24-30# with no issues

I've got one and love it , mine is set at about 36 lbs..it takes a little yoke tuning but u can get it to 32 with no problem

where do you find the 40lb model? If I tuned down from 40lb to 32lbs. would'nt I have to back the screw almost all the way out? I would be afraid that the bow could blow apart while shooting or is that not an issue?

IMO, just get the standard 29# model. We have shot dink gar to gator gar with these with no issue. Not sure why anyone would want that extra draw unless they are shooting some serious deep water.

my wife has a d2 thats set at 22lbs i believe and has never had a issue with penetration. They are nasty lilttle bows and pack a punch

The 29# model will pull a bit more. You can put a few twists in the string to get a bit more.

thanks for all the help fellas. I think I'll go for the 29#

I have the 29lb D2 and it packs tons of punch.

I started with a bow that shot 28# and lost a third of my fish, I been shooting at 32# with no lost fish, that's why I was skeptical about 29#, but thanks to you guys I am convinced that the D2 at 29# will do the trick, thanks again

Max the D2 out and you should be a couple pounds over 30. Ive tuned 3 D2s and they all maxed at about 32.5lbs

Keep in mind a D2 at 28# with almost a no let off looses a heavy arrow with a good bit more speed than a 28# compound with letoff, and a lot more than a 28# recurve. I don't know what bow you started with, but set around 30# the D2 throws a heavy fish arrow comparable to probably a 35 or 40# compound with letoff.

The max on my brother's D2 is greater than 29#. I think it was around 32# on a bow shop scale, with no adjustment other than tightening the limb bolts. He shoots it down around 25, maybe less, due to a bad shoulder and I think it does a fine job; we shoot most fish in the top 2 ft due to visibility with regular fiberglass arrows.

The reason I read it was marketed as a 29# model is so it could be classed as a target or youth bow; that way, PSE was able to avoid paying fees for selling a sporting/hunting model. Maybe something to do with pittman/robertson conservation dollars? Internet scuttlebutt but could be true. Regardless, they will top out a bit above 29#. Pretty decent bow except the short and skinny grip IMO.

thanks Glassbow, that makes sence. I shoot a Chaos now at 32 and have a back up bow but I always have a guest that needs to use my backup, so this one would be my back up #2

29# D2 maxed out will get you where you need to be, no doubt!
