Jack Kempf Tournament King I had him build for my dearly departed father
This is my trophy hunter take down, the first one he made with antler tip overlays
Quiver is a mid 50's Bear, had it since I was 12 years old and still use it!

What are your thoughts on the carbon overdrive?

It's awesome! After an initial tune and set-up, I sighted it in and then spent a night syncing the cams and setting up the lean. I shoot it at 28", 70#, 403 grains at 302 fps. Ot2 says that based on this ibo is 348 to 349., 5 fps faster than spec, not too bad!
The bow is really light and has a great feel to it. I love the overdrive binaries, and have shot them since bowtech started making them, so the draw cycle seems pretty much standard to me. It is every bit as quiet and dead in the hand as either the cpx or the destroyers were, something I really never expected. It does seem to have a bit o a skew to it at full draw, but if you don't grab the grip and practice good form and let the bow do its thing, then it is all good! If you are at all interested I would recommend for sure you go and try one. You will likely enjoy it!

With my target bow I was goofing around shooting at 90 yards the other day, aiming for middle dot...I actually hit it
There was a left to right wind and I actually slapped two arrows together at that distance.

That's awesome to hear! I picked up an experience for this season and I think if I came home with a carbon overdrive I would be using it as a pillow in the dog house. Everyone talks about the 360 and I haven't heard anything on it. I definitely have to go try one now. I never thought I'd be a bowtech man.

Nice shooting. What kind of dampeners did you put on it?

Tried a dozen or so shots through a new 360. For a bow with that much speed the draw is surprisingly smooth. No kick or shock on release. Bow felt top heavy to me, wanted to fall forward after release. The Experience is nicer to shoot although not as fast....
I'm shooting an Invasion and if I ever switched I think I would shoot an Experience. Invasion puts out a bit more speed but Experience is that much smoother to shoot. Both wicked bows IMO.

If you want to contribute a picture do so.
Otherwise why make this comment?
It's kind of rude actually.
There are plenty of great bows here and thanks to everyone who is posting them.

The Experience is not too short of speed from the 360 rated at 355fps.
I shot the 360 and ended up buying the Experience because I got a great deal from the USA at $600. No way I could pass it up.
I am truly impressed with it.
BT designed these bows to be top heavy and fall forward after release.
So what you experienced is intentional by design.
And don't be dismayed if you notice the cam's a little off centre. It's also by design to handle the offset strings.
