Bowtech 101st Airborne
Well I finally got my 101 last friday. What can I say but wow!! I really like this bow and have found the one I am going to shoot this year. The 101st is a 36.25 ATA bow with a 7″ brace height. It has both the new roller guard and string suppressor. I shot it with the usual 29″ 70lb 350gr arrow and got a speedy 327 fps out of it. I then backed the bow down to 62lbs with the same 350gr arrow and was still getting 306. Crackers who has a shop and makes custom strings and tuning was able to get 346fps out of one at 61lbs with a 306gr arrow!! This bow is not as quiet as the guardian but is not loud either. The draw is smooth with just a slight hump where it breaks over to a solid wall that you will not creep out of. I am going to get me in a 60lb and shoot it in 3d this year, will have to shoot a heavy arrow to get down to 280fps. The bow has the slim grip that feels great in the hand and is standard on all the bowtechs. This bow is going to be a big hit with both speed and forgiveness. I also shot this bow with a 400gr arrow at 70 pounds and still got 312fps, talk about drive through some flesh. Stop by your dealer and try one, I think you will like it.
