I recently purchased a 70 lbs Realm X. Prior to that I was hunting with PSE Evolve 35, 70 lbs. On the Evolve I was using an MBG Ascent Verdict which I added a 4th pin to (gets me out to 50 yards). With that set I was using a 455 grains arrows shooting 68 pounds at 28.75"of DL. The sight tape I was using was marked 276 fps. Today I went out with the Realm X. Same draw weight, same exact DL of 28.75", but the difference is I up'ed my arrow weight to 505 grains. Started at 20 yards and gang adjusted the head. Moved to 30 and was dead on...ok. Moved to forty, again dead on. Fully expecting to need to drop the 4th pin a little at 50 yards but it was also dead on. I then moved to 60 and dialed the sight with the existing 276 fps tape, dead on. Moved to 70 and shot a great group which if anything was a little high( a little right also, but it was windy). Plugged the numbers in and added 15 grains for a peep and d-loop and came up with a 347-348 IBO. Oh, I forgot to mention I am shooting on comfort. Prior to measuring the draw weight I confirmed the scale with a 60 pound dump bell which was also within a 1/2 pound on our quality bathroom scale. Plus I have been pulling between 67-68 pounds for about 15 years now and nothing feels different. Like I said, strange but good!
Have any of you ever found the MBG sight tapes really off?
