Mathews Conquest Triumph, loaded down
Still got to tweak the balance a little, and figure out the spine before I order the ProTours but here she is...

I see you took out the HS. Wanted more feedback?
Is that a light aluminum HD or an old brass one?

I took the Harmonic stabilizer out of the Dampener and replaced it with one of the old style dampener inserts made of aluminum..
I wanted the additional feedback from the bow plus it allowed me to put 2 ounces of weight on the back bar where it did me more good.

The rods are 2010 Doinker Elite Supreme. The front rod is 34" and the side rods are 12"
The sight is the new CBE Target Elite with the 1 3/8" CBE scope housing running a TrueSpot 6X 3/8" grind lens...
This is my field/FITA bow... although a quick change of sights and I could shoot some 3-D with it..

Annette just raves about her bow Mike. Luke and Annette both love the Triumphs.

Mike, do you feel that the dl runs a little long? Are you shooting the 65 or 80 percent let-off cam? Mine is coming in with the 65 percent cam and I hear that most are choosing to shoot the 80 percent cam instead of the 65.

Randy, I have the 65% and love it; but I shoot an active shot, I am not a wait'er I pull throughout the shot...
When I took the bow out of the box it was 3/8" long.. it is now exactly 1/2" long... 28" cam measures 28.5" AMO..
I cannot for the life of me imagine shooting 80% letoff, this cam is so smooth with no hump.... very much like a spiral cam... I'm in love and having more fun shooting this bow than the law might allow... the wife walked by yesterday while I was shooting and mumbled under her breath.... "Get a room will ya'"

What would you change to go from field/Fita sight to 3d? Lens power? Scope size?

I'd switch to the 1 5/8" scope with a pin and LP Archery light.. same power 6X with a 1/8" aperture in my peep.. Switch is easy as slide one out... and the other bar in... same mount on the bow..

Thanks Javi. Never knew what the difference between a spot and 3d setup would be.

Well normally I wouldn't shoot the same arrows for 3-d that I would use for Field/FITA for field you shoot a 112 arrows a day minimum.. and FITA can be 144 so you wouldn't normally shoot as high a poundage as you might for 3-D ...
but since I'm not seriously competing at 3-D this year I won't be shooting 280 fps and I'll be shooting arrows that are only a 1/4" diameter or less.. no line cutting here.. Shooting out to 90 meters don't match with them big logs much...
Thought about setting this bow up as a 3-D bow, but as much as I like to shoot 3-D... I absolutely LOVE shooting Field and FITA..

Javi, one more question... It sounds like it would be easier to switch a indoor spot bow over to Field/FITA than a 3d bow. Is this correct? Lower poundage, smaller scope, etc.?

Yep in fact many do just that.. although I like 56-58 lbs outdoors, I shoot 46-48 indoors.. for 3-d I don't mind 64-65lbs... because of the fewer arrows shot..
Oh... and slaming protours into 15 other arrows in a 6" circle is the norm in field...
4 shooters, 4 shots each...
