Athens 34" bow

Made this reply in another Post and thought I would add to it. I got to shoot this 34" beauty yesterday, only a couple of shots, but, dang. We were trying some different stabilizers on it and settled on a solid 4 oz of some 10" and a 8" 11 oz NAP Shock Blocker. Boys, I can't say this bow needs a stabilizer. It remained really q-u-i-e-t and really a-c-c-u-r-a-t-e. I got to weigh the arrows told of in my previous reply. They weighed in at 387 and 393 grs. So I'd say the speed is quite up there. The owner lowered the draw weight to 67 pounds. It never detracted from anything. I also got to fire a couple of arrows down range. First, the cams are that you better be on the wall or the bow is wanting to go (fine with me). Our indoor range may only be 20 yards, but when no one is around we can stretch it to 30 yards. Now the owner had sighted in with a index release uses a bit more draw length than I and I shot with a ST360 using back tension. The 2 shots were dead on and less than 1/2" apart. Think I'll make a call and see if Athens has their 37" ready....
