Your wife can pull 50lbs... awesome! Check the Bowtech website for numbers on the Equalizer, one of the fastest short draw bows around and available in 50lbs. Good luck.

I have two sets of numbers for you:
BowTech Allegiance (2005), 26", 56 1/2 lb., 292 gr. Lightspeed, 278 fps.
BowTech Equalizer (2006), 26", 56 1/2 lb., 292 gr. Lightspeed, 289 fps

At 60# with same arrow, Allegiance = 288 and Equalizer = 296.

I have a 26", 50 lb. Elite Fire that I have not chronographed yet but will do it later and post the results here.

Awesome AZONE.... that's what I am looking for. She has a Mathews Mustang now and I've already compared it to the Bowtech Equalizer. The Equalizer is a liitle faster. I'm anxious to see what numbers you get from the Elite. I have access to a Cuda, so I'm going to try it as well.

Dont overlook the Hoyt Kobalt.

Prior to buying the Katera in my sig...I asked my local shop owner which bow of all the ones he had would he buy and shoot. Surprisingly...his answer was the Kobalt.

The Alpine Sienna and Eclipse will both shoot 295 fps. at 26"!

My chrono is not giving me reliable data so I'll post the Fire's speed later after I get some consistent data.

Im interested in this post also. My girlfriend is shooting a 26.5 inch 40 lb equalizer. Shes thinking shes going to be ready to move up to a 40+ pound bow. Im all excited about possibly bow shopping again, but since its a hunting bow, i dont want to buy a 40-50 lb bow that might produce less kinetic energy then her current 40 lber.

Wife's Elite Ice. 44lbs, 25.5" shooting 221g Easton Redline 900's 277.

Here's my Elite Fire number: 265 fps at 51 lbs., 26" draw, with a 296 gr. arrow.

I have owned a BowTech Defender, Allegiance, and Equalizer. I like the draw of the Allegiance better than the rest and like the draw of the Fire better than the Allegiance. My Elite GT500 with Cuda cams will be here in about a week, I'll see how that does. It's 26", 60 lbs.

The closest numbers i can give you is 26in / 41# / 260gr / 258fps. We're waiting on a delivery of 40-50# limbs for the bow, which is an elite fire. Holy crap, it can plough the x til july though...what a nice machine.

wifes 50lb edge at 26" is 270 at 5g/lb with 1 nock and all the string crap that BT puts on.

 

[KyBowonly]

Closest I can give you is my girlfriends bow. It's a Mathews drenalin at 26" 44lbs.

I'm not sure on arrow weight but I think they're around 350 grns. Axis 500's with 100 gr points and 4" feathers.

212fps

The Elite GT500 with cuda cams should get right around 290 at 26" and a IBO arrow....I would think the Cuda will be about the same....
I've heard several guys reporting 305+ at 27/60 with the same bow....
and hopefully I can add my input when mine arrives

 

[azone5]

I like the draw of the Elites much better than the BowTechs. They are butter smooth and as fast as the BTs. I shot the Equalizer a lot but when I tried the Elites, I really fell in love!

 

[williejr]

before you make any moves check out hoyt. my aunt shoots hoty and sorry but i dont know all the details but i do know she was shooting some where in the 280's- 290's and i know she does shoot over 45-50 lbs

 

[sneak1413]

I have seen the hoyt cobalt outshoot an equalizer setup and i think they were both around 26" in draw length. That cobalt is a screaming fast little bow.

Well... when it gets here, I'll be one of the first to know :smile:
