Hey all,
As promised by Sonja in Martin CS my new 2010 Firecat TR2 arrived today. Very giddy I tore open the box to inspect it. I looked at the bow sticker first for listed draw wt. 55-70# check. Serial number beginning with a 10 check. Limb deflection, 4M. check( odd that my other replacement limbs for my bad bow were 4H but whatever) Then the weird thing. I look at the DL modules, they are black and plain as day stamped on them it says HYBRIX. Somebody stuck their hand in the wrong bin at assembly or they just ran out of the others. I compared one mod from my old one and these and they are exactly the same. No harm no foul. I moved it to 28" and put the draw stop on 27 1/2" and that felt good. good so far. I check ATA and its 32 13/16" and BH is 6 7/8" so I am going to have to do some twisting. I do not agree that 32 1/4 is the correct ATA for this bow and won’t be going there. I will put it on a scale tomorrow to see what DW is and see what I have to do. Overall I am completely happy with the fit and finish of the bow. I will update you all tomorrow after I twist, tighten, and time it along with what my speeds are through the crony.
