Well guys here we go
a few weeks ago I was talking to Sid about getting limbs that were 5 pounds lighter than my current CH limbs
I was interested in this for a few reasons
1 I have really been trying to get my form together
2 I wanted to shoot longer
3 the CH packs such a wallop that I am confident my 55 + # limbs hit like a 65 pound limb and I knew that 50 # limbs would hit like 60's
4 I was interested in the ILF variant of the Hex 7
Sid said to me that I would not get the same performance as my CH and that he had the second set of Hex 7 they made and that they came in at 51 #'s
They had only been fired a few times and just need finishing
Well what do you all think I said
So today I called home at lunch time and they said they were here
So I went home
I wanted to make this fun and informational and I wanted to answer some questions about strings for myself
Nothing to scientific just a sound meter and a Chrono
The two strings are from Chad @ Champion Custom Bowstrings
Both are made of BCY X
One is Flemish
One is Endless
I was not to surprised by the results and if a string is well made its very close
Hope you all like it
SIDS and Chad
Thank you very much
Btw this 51 pound bow is putting out 46 FT LBS of Energy
The Heavier limbs are putting out 50+
Pretty impressive
