Hi Todd
Welcome to the forum… Congrats on your great trad bow hunting success this year. Well done. The Ben Pearson seems like a lucky bow for you … maybe it should be the one for turkey?
Sorry to hear about the new take down bow problems , hopefully the company will work it out in your favor. I am not familiar with that company or its bows, so can’t really give a realistic appraisal. That being said ; how fast a bow flings an arrow is dependent on many variables — materials, design, manufacturing process, string type ( as you mentioned)– etc. They may all say 50lbs on the limb ( sometimes that is a ” ball park” figure), but they don’t all shoot the same ( speed) as you have seen.
I too like takedowns and have two. They usually cost more than the std bow of the same model ( harder to build). You might look at bows made with the ILF ( International limb fitting system). Bowyers who make risers with this system give the archer a lot of options and are held to an excellent std.
Let us know how the turkey hunt goes , what state?
PS – you got a good deal on the Ben Pearson bow…
