That would be exactly what I said, since 3 of the Micros I have been around shor between 340 and 343 with a 350 grain arrow the way they came from the factory. I have never heard of any micro that only only shot 335 fps from the factory with a 350 grain arrow, not one, I never herd of any Matrix that was not capable of a little more than they were rated for. This is something other bow companies never do, is meet there claim to advertised performance, but Excalibur has with all 7 that I personally have owned.racking up points wrote:Re: questioning someone's testing methods, I am offended because what would be inferred from your post is either I am an idiot or a liar and I am neither so consider that next time.
Your insistance that limb deflections couldn't possible equate to 15fps would mean that everyone that has a Nitemare that is shooting 350fps is either dumb, lying or doesn't have testing methods that meet your exacting standards....or you're just plain wrong.
You are now insinuating I doubted your bow shoots 350 fps. Not at all, but I will assure you if you put my limbs on that bow it will shoot well over 335 also, and probably faster than the 342 fps they do on my bow. I have witnessed bows with almost 1/8" difference in the stated power stroke in the Matrix line,,,, this is why I said you can't use your figures and other figures to come up with a determination on one set of limbs to another. A test only means anything if it the "same bow setup exactly the same way" with the only variation being the Limbs installed on that same bow!!! So tell me what set of limbs did you put on your bow that only shot 335 fps? What was the deflection rating on each? and was BH, string, and arrow exactly the same?? or are you saying there are bows out there that only shoot 350 fps with factory setup and 350 grain arrows? if so are they using the same chronograph to determine that? I am not calling you a liar, if your front end is machined a couple thousands deeper on the inside or outside of the limb pocket this could make a noticeable change by the angle the limbs are at rest, and I will assure you their tolerances that change from one riser or rail or trigger to the next, make those all favor speed on one bow and every tolerance favor less speed on another bow and you have over 6 or 7 FPS right their with the same limbs on different bows!!! These are all things that make needing to rely on test with the identical same setup cronagraph rest,,,, hell their can be a loss or gain of a couple fps from shooting from a rest and shooting from the shoulder,,, only using different limbs on that particular "EVERYTHING" have any meaning in the real world. Sorry if you thought I meant anything else.
