They are a nice shooting bow, do everything well. Cam 1/2 is great system.
If you get it, firsat thing get rid of the stock cables and get some Winners choice cables/strings. It will make your life easier to tune and stay tuned.

Speed, I don't know...it is gonna be about the norm. The quietness will be good, the forgiveness is good also.

I know the speed is around 300+ IBO so I imagine it will be in the pack with almost 2/3 of everything else out there...300 seems to be the magic number to buyers..

I would guess that your speed will be somewhere around 275 or so.
My rig is shooting 282 at 29" and 67# with a 365gr arrow.

The Razortec is a fantastic bow. I bought one in May of 03 and have never been happier with a purchase.

The Razor is fast, stable and manuverable. It may just be the perfect treestand bow.

You will not be disappointed.

450.00 is a bit high.

HI, you should be happy with the razortech, it's compact and still shootable. I have to say that 450.00 and needing a string is pretty high, they go for around 300 here all the time. Your going to be at least 100 bucks in a new string and cables. Something to consider when you are bargining over the price.

03 Razortec

I have an 03 Razortec and shoot a 400 gr Beman at 29" 270 ft/sec.

Besides the string and cable if the bow is in good shape $450 isn't unreasonable.
Mine doesn't have a scratch on it or any paint wear around the grip, and I wouldn't even consider taking a penny less than $450. Price some of the new Hoyts that are comparable and you'll see why. But I take real good care of my equipment, cause its expensive.

If you drop 50 grains on arrow weight it'll run around 282-285 ft/sec. But you have a little more ke with the heavier arrow, whats the point when its already screamin ! :)

Good shooting bow, and quiet, I have found that also depends on the rest, I could make mine more quiet.

If you buy I don't think you will be disappointed. Good Luck

I'm sorry, I reread your second post and saw the 60lbs at 29".

I would probably guess 255 - 260 ft/sec. I chrono ed mine at 64 lbs with the same arrows at 264, I don't know you might be as fast as 270..? Still fast enough!! :)

Good Luck
