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!!!

Yeah don't ever chronograph an Osprey.If you do then don't post the results here or it will piss of a whole mess of Kool-Aid drinkers.Pull a module out and tell me what # is stamped on it if ya' don't mind.
I think that who ever sold it to you knew that you were a puzzy and that you couldnt pull that much weight, so they gave you a lighter limbs to make you feel better. 
if your wanting to shoot 60 pounds then get a Black Eagle, dunno how high ospreys can go without hurting the riser but i know that a black eagle can handle it lol, just as smooth as an osprey too. And even a little bit sexier
I don't know what kind of whales y'all be shooting but I shoot my Osprey at 18-25 pounds.If you have sissy modules in there then IT WILL NOT SHOOT AS HARD OR AS GOOD.If they aren't stamped #10 or #11 then throw the chit that is in it away and put either one of those in there.You can thank me later.
I dont give a F**k if a barracuda will give ya a hand job after you shoot it.. Why in the chit is my osprey maxing out at 45#'s??? When it clearly states 35-55 on the sticker??
KY u know anglers are on the market, I played with 1 4 about 2 hrs the other day an I must say its freaky bad an made in the usa an is all aluminum aircraft grade.....u should've held out on that an got u the 1 u wanted in the 1st place.....just saying! Haha
Exactly why I laugh when when the kool aid crowd says the Discovery II's are kids bows and won't stick fish. At 45 lbs you're getting about the same speed as a 29# Discovery II. Gotta love it. :tu:
But 1 thing ur 4getting is a lever bow has more kenetic energy so it may be shootin the same speed as ur menace but its hitting harder, like shoot an arrow in a target with both bows shooting at the same speed an the osprey will sink it deeper......I dnt even own a lever bow but this is just what I've been told haha
Im not sure on the poundage but the let off plays a HUGE roll in speed as well as the arrow your shooting. Give Oneida a call tomorrow and see what they say.. I was told all the bows are stamped with 35-55 though. You can change the module and lower the let off and get more speed out of it.
I put my bow on 45 lbs and cant hit a fish, I shoot 180lbs fish with scales thicker than any fish yall have 10-20 yards from the boat. I shoot fish 4-7 feet down with less than 30 lbs... I dont think anyone is as good of a shot on higher poundage, than less... I dont see it..But of course yall shoot them bigheads I have shot some on 30 lbs, but I dont know much..
Their is a chart that shows which module is what,,,, draw lenght and let off.
I have one set at 19, 24,25,and 21 pounds and can kill anything I want
I have one set at 19, 24,25,and 21 pounds and can kill anything I want
This is exactly why we need to compile a list of bows and with each bow maxed out to whatever weight it will allow shoot a fish arrow with whatever tip.. And get a rough idea of a bowfishing ibo!!
Arrow weight on fishing arrows varies a TON, Speed doesnt kill fish, kinetic energy is where your penetration comes from.
That bow is worth more imo because they don't make the low poundage power limbs anymore. And 25/45 limbs are much better unless your shootn whales in cali.
Hahaha you've been punked !
We set you up Brother, you took it like a bish too.
Oneidas suck, I only shoot them cause the chicks dig them. :tu:

Haha hey I didn't come up with that I just heard that an relayed what I heard lol an yes obg I still do but seeing u were alive around the same time the legend of santa came about, its easier that u dnt believe lol
I think the limb pockets are out on it, that why you aint got 55 lbs, take a pic of it..close up on the limbs..
