I made the mistake of shooting my buddy's Black Ice, after resurrecting my 1992ish PSE. Kind of pissed me off, and now the rifle fund takes a little hit.

Told the wife I was planning on buying a new bow. She got all worked up, and started down this rant of "Why do you need another boat?"

"I said 'Bow'"

"Oh, go to town then..."

"It could be $1200."

"Whatever - go for it."

Told her I'm starting every conversation with "I'm going to buy another boat..." from now on.

Lol.

Welp, got the Alpha Max 35 home and I'm pretty happy with it.

Right now I'm shooting a 468gr Easton FMJ moving 297fps. which it giving me almost 92ft. lbs. of Ke. This thing should be able to hammer anything that eats and shits on this rock we live on.

I still can't get over the draw curve even at 79#. Feels like a 70#. Anyways, I'm not sure if this arrow will handle a fixed broadhead. I'm on the bubble as far a spine goes. If it can't handle it I'll change arrows and drop down to a stiffer arrow, but a lighter one. Which I'll lose Ke and pick up some speed.

Maybe tomorrow I'll get to draw blood.

Good luck.

I've been following this thread thinking of a new bow, looked at a few and shot a Matthews Reezon. Passed for now and glad I did, went out this morning and had 6 bucks at 15-20 yards eating acorns. One was a mountable 10 pointer and another was a mountable 12 pointer, the rest dinks. Problem was they were hard to my right and even though I was able to get turned around, I didn't clear any limbs... I might have thrown a new thousand dollar bow as far as I could've.

Just got through practicing with my recurve, I can throw it further!

I shoot both Mathews and Hoyt. It's hard to go wrong with any of the Alpha bows.
