Ritual 35; Something special

[dkime]

Just got done setting up my Ritual 35, centershot was measured at 13/16 running dead nuts through the Berger holes. I’ve found in the past these bows to be extremely sensitive to nock location as they need near perfect cam timing to shoot well. This setup is rated at around 336 which by my testing is uber conservative. My hunting arrows are running 502gr Day Six HD at 29/70 (need to measure on the draw board yet to make sure everything is where it needs to be) but these arrows are shooting 279-281 which is beating IBO by 5fps in my book. The first bareshaft was a perfect bullet hole. (Sometimes I surprise myself lol) the draw cycle is remarkably smooth for the efficiencies it’s generating. Quiet, dead in hand, perfect finish like we’ve come to expect. This bow will be hell on anything that stands in front of it. A little deeper review to come

Very nice. Love it when things go right!

What brand, Elite?

Can you set elites to have some give in the wall? I used to love that solid feel but have found I really make those pins shake when I try to execute back tension on limb stop bows.

With a little ingenuity, you’ll need to wrap your limb stops with a little softer material or run a lower letoff. That’s the downfall of limb stop bows, anything that happens on the backend transfers directly to the front end. I rely on expansion through my hand to mitigate the issue

Nice!

My GTO shoots a 420gr arrow @ 285fps set at 61#.

Great to hear you are enjoying it. This is a potential next bow to replace my Pulse. It felt really great when I shot it.

My Pulse is throwing 529g at 272fps at 72/28.5.

That Pulse is a heck of a bow, I had one for a season and now my girlfriend is running one. 52# 26.5" shes shooting a 460gr Day six 400 at 238fps

Yes it is, which is why I have been shooting it for 8 seasons...but wondering if it is time.

She seems to well, got sight tapes built and ran FPS and a slick trick out to 80 after work. Little bit of a horizontal spread but I attribute this to not normally shooting such a low letoff. Really require a disciplined shooter to stay in his process, especially with a .019 fiber. Naturally the Bh is 2” low, that’s expected at this distance
