I am considering making the switch from a Parker Phoenix 70# to a 60# Alien because of recent rotator cuff surgery. I was hoping I could ask your opinions. I know everyone is different but, for those who have shot it, would you consider the Alien at 60# more, the same, or less harsh than single cam bows at 70#. I am only 30 and would like to continue my bowhunting days so whatever is easier on my shoulders and still has good performance is what I am looking for. And the alien really has my mouth watering

no thoughts.


what about a 60# elite Z28 with the cuda cams? same question. How would you rate the draw compared to single cam 70#

I would like to know as well. I might get the chance to order a new Alien and was trying to figure out if I really needed the 70lb model. I usually set my hunting rigs for 65 or so. I think with the extra speed, 60 lbs would not be a problem. It will probably still be faster than most 70lb single cam rigs.

butter

58 pounds 26 inch draw 330 grain arrow 276fps feels like my wifes fifty pound bow and holds rock solid by far the best bow I have shot and I have owned about every brand their is

I've shot completely through African plains game, large mule deer, and Alaskan Brown Bear shooting sub 60#. You'll never need anything more for anything on this continent or most critters on the planet.

The draw cycle of the Alien-X is one of it's claims to fame!......or future fame.

The 60# prototype I shot felt more like 50-55#. It also shot 340fps it it felt more like 310fps MAX!

I have a 70#'er on order but have seriously questioned the need for it.

Correct me if I am wrong but if you order a 70 # and thought it were to much I believe they are adjustable 15 # so that would go to 55 # which you could shoot 60 if you wish or 68-70. I also believe that I read most of the ones tested were testing over the number stated. A little heavy, which is good especially if you ordered one of the 60 # models. I think my memory serves me correct. You have the best of both worlds if you choose the 70 # got it if you need it and back it off if not !!

Thanks rxbowhunter. Thats what I was curious about. The speed isnt that important, but a draw that is easy on my shoulder is. . . but the speed is a good perk
