i am going to order a 2009 airborne soon and i have a question about the poundage. i want my poundage to be in-between 60 and 65 pounds. if i get the 60# limbs they will be fully cranked but if i get the 70# limbs they wont be fully cranked. should i get the 70# limbs or the 60# limbs? whats the difference between having the limbs fully cranked or not fully cranked? (tuning) i would just crank it up to 70 but i feel like i can group way better at around 60-65 pounds. thanks

GET THE 60'S bow will perform better @ 60 than with the 70's backed off

whats the exact poundage of the 60# limbs? thanks

I have a 101 shooting at 55 lbs with a 368 grain arrow. With 30 inchs of draw it shoots about 277. When you buy the bow retime it on a draw board. Plenty of posts on that to read on at. Go with the 50 to 60 lbs limbs

if i set up the bow with 60# limbs at 28" what arrows should i use? and what type of speed would i be seeing with that? thanks

ballpark ok! with 375/28"/60=270-280fps. depending on cam /limbs/string attachments.

hmmm still trying to figure out what poundage. whats the pros and cons of 60 or 70? my old bow was a diamond rock and it was 70 pounds. it wasnt hard to pull because it had a smoother draw than the 101st. is a lower poundage more accurate or easier to tune? thanks ps. sorry if im asking too much stupid questions. i just want to buy the right thing if im spending that much $$$. thanks

thats close,
my 101 at 60lbs, 28"mod, and 380 grain arrow is doing 280. that is with a loop and g5 peep with the scilencers that BT puts on. it is a 60-70 lb bow

hmm if i get 60 im stuck with 60 max but if i get 70 i can always step it up. i think i can easily drop an animal with 60 though. and i would be more accurate. i dont know yet.

My 101st set at 57lbs (maxed out) with a 28" draw and a 348 grain arrow shoots 292 fps. You will need to buy or make a new string very soon, the serving is total crap!

I also liked the X-force Dream Season very much but it was more money and the serving is crap on it as well. I did think it was a bit quieter though.

It depends on your ability to hold comfortably at full draw. I was shooting 62# on my tribute and could hold all day, now I've got a 101st and 70# limbs and let me tell ya It's a brute............. 30" draw and 352gr arrow, it's shooting 343 fps for 3-d. Now hunting setup I am going back to 60# limbs and will shoot it at 62 and 385 gr arrow. Should shoot close to 310 fps.

im going to think about it more but i think i like 60 better. still enough to smash animals but i will be able to hold it better and shoot better. thanks for the replies

ttt

60lbs 101st max,s any were from 61-64lbs anyway i would go with the 60lbs have a 70lbs 101st great bow and it is a b--ch to hold at full draw

 

[808skindiver]
