Anyone know safe ways to get an extra five or more pounds out of a new PSE? First and foremost, I get it that newer bows are faster and faster. Speed isn't free. I'd rather have a higher draw weight and smoother draw cycle than a jumpy bow with a five inch brace height. Secondly, PSE sells the same bow with multiple options so they're the perfect martyr.
Exaggerations aside, I'd rather shoot a new bow at 90# with the EC cam than at 80# with the E2 cam. I'd rather have a longer brace height and axle to axle length, and just have a higher draw weight to regain that lost speed. A comfortable and accurate 90# bow at the same speed as the more painful 80# bow.
An 85# bow with the EC cam should put out the same energy as an 80# bow with the E2 or S2 cam (depending on DL). Give me another .5" brace height and then add an additional few pounds. A 90# option with those changes could be faster, easier to draw, AND more forgiving.
I say easier to draw because the peak weight would be in the short range where you have more leverage, instead of loading up a hump in the back where you have less strength.
So why are we only getting 80# speed bows? With the exception of the Bowtech SX80, or the Prime Black 9, 80# bows are almost all geared for speed. Put the Reckoning cams on the SX80 and add a few pounds and you've got a machine for ethical animal murder.
The slower ramp up and down in draw force would reduce the magnitude of shock the system has to absorb, as well. It seems like a no brainer to me. Any thoughts?
