Well After Ordering on Friday, last week, My Encore Finally came today, thursday.(very fast I think) I got it through the CSS co-op program because there was no dealers in my area. The people at CSS were a pleasure to deal with, no complaints.
After looking it over it seems to be in great shape. Everything seems top-notch and was excactly as I ordered. Tomorrow I will take it to the pro-shop and have them set it up.

After pulling it back for a bit, it feels like a million bucks. Its 10X better than my old dual circle cam pearson with a non existing wall. The wall on my Enore feels good, but I think it can be tuned a little more to make it harder.

I will deffinitely be a returning customer if things keep on going like they have. Would like a challenger If I get more serious into 3-d.

You should expect around 300 fps at IBO weight...Report in how it performs

will do. The pro shop has a chronograph and so do I.

Heh. I was deciding where to lay it and I thought the grass was a good spot. Seen much worse in a couple hunting photos. They had the bow propped up in the mud leaning against the deer :mg:


Thanks bowdoctor 1, If anything pops up I might take you up on your offer.


If anyone knows anything about the spot-hoggs let me know if I got the large or small guard.

thanks

Current setup of mine...

If it is anything Like the 2004 35" Encore P1 you will be happy. Great shooting bow!!

 

[sagecreek]

Glad you got a new rig for our team! :thumbs_up

 

[B.K.]

Shot it a couple times today and everything went great. shot great groops for not having is set-up properly yet. very quiet and little hand shock.
I need to get a new target on monday and I cant find my chronograph :tongue: hopefully I can get the FPS soon.

 

[bowdoctor 1]

you need to put on some limb tunerz on it. you can call Peggy and get some. we run 1 set on the out side and 1 set on the inside. even put 1 set in the riser. these work on every bow out there and come 2 sets per pack and are cheeper than all others.

I just ordered a new Encore myself. If your in the NE OH area there is a css swampmaster for sale at Geauga Bow. Like new. :wink:

The bow came with a free pack of limb and string tunerz. If I decide I need more I may put 2 on the riser

finally got a chance to shoot it for a bit today. I'm very happy with the results so far. I've done nothing to it so far except move my top pin a bit. havent dialed in 2nd or 3rd axis on the hogg-it yet, and I havent adjusted the rest.

I took a pic of a quick 23 yard group I shot. Not anything special, but I think its great for not doing anything to the bow, and the whole thing is different from what I'm used to.
I found my chronograph and I was getting around 270-275 FPS. I'm shooting 29" draw length, but I dont know the exact weight of bow or arrow weight. I'll get back to you on that when my scale comes in.

[CHAMPION2]

Your in the vitals and thats a dead buck! The Encore is a nice shooting bow.

 

[B.K.]

Just in case anyone thought that was a bad group for 23 yards, I was the limiting factor. I would love to see how good it could shoot with a pro.
