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!!

You want a f**k'n cookie?? Lol.. As I've said before.. If it won't shoot 55#'s then it doesn't need to be marked and sold as a 55# bow!! I can kill a deer with a .22 also, but I don't hunt with one!! I PREFER more #'s and here's the thing.. I shot it through a chronograph at 45#'s with 80% let off and averaged 115fps with a variance of arrows and tip combos!! 115fps is medie-oker at best for a bow that is at the top end of the bowfishing bow price range and is supposedly the chit.. Now it doesn't even perform within the parameters Oneida says it will do!! I like the bow but I don't give a chit if it's an Oneida or not.. It's crazy smooth and it's cool looking but come on.. The supposed best of the best should be doing better than this!!

I did the math one time on mine but I forget exactly what it was now.I know it was pretty close to 20% let-off.

Why?The only thing it is good for is to f#*+ up a persons shooting.Let off is for deer hunting, not fishing.

Maybe a little bit.You'll definitely need to re-tune if you ever unleash the beast by adding 10's.

Funny guy!! Lol.. Get your azz to compiling a bowfishing IBO standard!!Switch your digital scales from KG's to LBS.That should help.Also,try shooting thru a chronograph,not a little league radar gun!

You use finger slicks or anything of the sort? I really see a lot of string roll on this osprey with the finger slicks more so than I did on my menace with no gloves.. I guess I was just use to it on the menace... But I see a noticeable difference on this bow!

It's all about arrow speed--it takes a higher peak weight to make a high let-off bow shoot a fishing arrow as fast as a lower poundage no let-off bow. It's a no brainer.

I think he already has all the info.He wont post it tho because he knows it will turn into an Oneida bashing free for all.:laugh: The mods will make a big difference.Mine shoots plenty hard enough for anything I want to shoot with it and it's a 25/45.
