heres the specs off my omen (impressed to say the least) set at 75# 30" dl 481gr arrow= 328FPS ive already bumped it up to 80# I have some room to build my 550+gr arrow and keep my speed above my personal minimum 280fps. very happy indeed.

like mentioned above

456gr arrow, 332fps = .6715 momentum, 111.495 KE
481gr arrow, 328fps = .6999 momentum, 114.791 KE

Very nice jerinmn. Great looking bow. It is obvious that you can handle more bow than I can. I seem to be going the other way. I have a 70# bow that I have backed off to 67# and may drop back again to 65#. :D

its ok swede, my phenom is set at 55# its a 60#er but for target I don't want to pull any more than that for targets at least when it counts for scores. I cant wait till tomorrow to actually shoot both bows and get them sighted in.

Swede, maybe it's a function of which birthday you are getting the bow. The one I just got is my 50th birthday present and after much deliberation, I went with 60 pound limbs that max out at around 63. It may not sling telephone poles but with today's bows, I think it will do. Happy Birthday jerinmn! Nice new toys!
