I just bought one.After not have shot a compound in several years.I love it and I know thats all that matters.But I was wondering how many out there own or have shot this little jewel.And if you would share how you got it setup.I tried to purchase a bow that could do double duty.One that could be a hunting bow and a good 3D bow.What kind of speeds are you getting out of them.I have'nt chronographed mine yet but plan to.Thanks tradrick

I had one set up at the shop to shoot around with. Shooting 306fps with a 304 grain arrow, at 60lbs with a 30" draw and nothing but a peep and loop on the string.
Its a great shooting bow, I have always loved the UltraTec's and this is just there 08 cousin. Beautiful and smooth A++++++

Congratulations on the 737. I bought one last year also and am still amazed at how well it shoots. I am not all worried about how fast a bow is and it isnt the fastest bow I have ever shot but I have shot better with it than anything else I have including my 04 Protec. Shooting a 358 grain arrow at 28.5 inch draw and 60 lbs I am getting 276. Plenty fast for me for an arrow weighing almost 6 grains per pound.

i've been playing with one at the shop and it really has been shooting great...pulls smooth with a hard wall...28'' and 60# with a 320 grain arrow shot 280 fps...here's a tip, i added accelerator balls to mine and picked up 8 extra fps

i don't have the bow with me at home i will check it at work tomorrow...it would be best if you could run yours thru a chrono cause every bow is different...

In Hunting Mode
The 737 is the easiest bow i have ever set up and tuned. It will paper tune just about any arrow, within reason, in a couple minutes, yielding perfect bullet holes. I am set up in hunt mode now with a trophy taker rest and a single fixed pin set at 20 yards. It's a tack driver from a 16 foot treestand, from straight down and out t 30 yards.
In 3D mode, the 737 spits a 335 grain arrow out at 284 fps. I have a 30 inch DL and the bow is maxed out at 60#'s. I am perfectly set up to stay just under the 3D speed limit of 287 fps.
In hunt mode i shoot a total arrow weight of 417 grains, with more than enough speed. Accuracy always trumps speed in 3D or bowhunting.
What a great bow selection you made. The 737 is definately my double duty bow of choice.
