But that's the trend right now, how fast, how light, how dead in the hand, how easy to tune... sadly, these social media 🤡 will put out stuff that unfortunately some think matters... it's amazing how little we cared about any of this 30 years ago. Either way, as some have pointed out, a few or more on here will look to her "results" (which are obviously not 100%) and either try and find a fault in their setup or strive to her results. Either way, until their is an unbiased lab that posts / reviews bows its all smoke and mirrors, as previously stated about Nates post on Chrono fudging.

What is the amazement here? That bow doesn't even go to 24" draw and I'm sure it's drawing a few pounds over 65#. Figure 24 5/8" - 24 3/4" and 67-68# with an 5gpp arrow. 335 IBO? Sounds right about where most of them are coming in.

Looked very possible with rip xv shafts. If she cut shafts right up to her rest, with 350 spine, 100 grain points, 30 grain inserts, 3 x 5ish grain blazer vanes, and an 8 grain nock she'd have a 280ish grain TAW. Add 15 grains to the string, a 330 IBO bow puts her in the 280 fps range at 65 lbs in theory.

Did anyone happen to see her new video where they chrono her new Lift 29.5?

Her draw length is 24", and she's pulling 65#. They didn't say what her arrows weighs, but it chronoed at 281 fps.

That seems crazy fast for that short of a draw length! I guess those Mathews mods are doing what they are meant to do.

It is exactly what Mathews says it should be if you look at IBO arrow speed calculator for a bow with an IBO of 348 fps. Here is the calculation (I bet she doesn't hunt with a 345 grain arrow, though):

Those Mathews mods do NOTHING for speed at each draw length. I have tested it, no noticeable speed to be gained. I compared the lift 33" to my ss34 at three different draw lengths and they both stayed the same FPS difference at the different settings at each draw length. If it did result in more speed, more bow companies would use it. Mathews only does it so they can sell you and the dealers more mods. More mods=more money for them.

The Lift 29.5 does not go down to 24" but maybe she misspoke and meant 25". Looks like she is shooting GT Airstrike and if she is shooting a 400 spine it's 7.2 gpi.

I shoot the same arrow at 350g total arrow weight.

Just for speed comparison one of my Lifts at 27"/70# is 301 fps so if she is 25" she might be very close!!

Why not? I hunt with 360 grain arrows from my 64# Bowtech RPM 360. Arrows are lasering at 300 fps at my 26.5" drawlength.
