Athens 37" ATA Exceed 300 preview

[KILL EM ALL]

The entire grip and shelf has been revised.

The Target guys on staff spoke and we listened!!!!

Of course the engineer wanted to toss me out the window,,,


This bow is going to be an X killing machine...and for the foam expect to see alot of guys shooting up!!

what did you guys change
I dont see how much better it can get

Just gonna have to wait to see it.....

I can say that I'm one of those who were advising Rodney and crew on the target bow.

If we are to compete and be successful, the bow has to have some features that are amenable to target archers.

One of them is the grip on the riser. Pure target bows like the Hoyt Vantage/Contender/Ultra's, Martin Scepters, and even target capable bows like the PSE Bow Madness XL have narrow grips. That reduces torque at the shot.

The other is the broadhead shelf. The screw holes on the broadhead shelf will interfere with the grip on some archers. I actually had to take black duct tape and tape over the broadhead shelf screw holes on my Accomplice 34 so that it was comfortable for other target archers to shoot it.

This bow will be a perfect blend. Speed, longer ATA, hard wall, and in a package that weighs less than most target bows.

I weighed my Vantage Pro the other day, fully equipped. The thing weighed 8 pounds.

I know a fully equipped eXceed 300 will weigh less. This will be an advantage - lower overall mass weight mean better holding at full draw.

So - I'm looking forward to getting the bow. It's gonna rock!

[Blood Bath2006]

DANG!!!! I liked the side plates

Is it still capable of accepting the side plates?

[rodney482]

Nope.

trust me your gonna like this grip...

[Bohica]

I took me all of about 30 minutes to get adjusted to the grip angle on the Accomplice. That said, I have no doubts the guys giving the design input will nail it!.

The eXceed 300 funds are growing each week .

[LCA]

these changes make me want one even more

[J-Daddy]

Nope.

trust me your gonna like this grip...

I know I'll like it, the sideplates were the first thing I ditched on my 34" and then wrapped the riser in black athletic tape.

When will the Athens website have a picture of the new grip?

[ShootingABN!]

I am pretty sure carbon fiber dipped limbs will come standard on the 300.


If you dont want CF limbs that is fine just specify black limbs when you order.

Got those pic's yet? LOL

[rodney482]

Got those pic's yet? LOL

Jason took the bow to KS to show it to the Buck Commanders.

[rodney482]
