XI bows

I still have a couple in my basement, a Flatliner that I hunted with quite a while and a XI Scream single cam that is practically new.

 

I actually shot for them from 1993 to 1997. Although I never shot the hard cammed Flatliner I did have several bows with the slightly softer cam (Legacy, Nemisis, etc) and they were good shooters.

 

So what was the point of 90#+ bows for 3d.....:noidea: ????

 

speed. why else?

 

And you need that much speed because....your hurling huge tree trunks for arrows???

 

actually they (the old timers) used to shoot 3 - 4 gpp if that in the quest for 300+. The used overdraws so that they could shoot arrows 5 - 6 inches to short, overstrung their bows for more speed, used fewer strands in their strings...

they were pretty crazy back then

 

Yep, I remember shooting a Flatliner.

By the way Dredly those years were not so long ago. I still remember them like yesterday.eace:

 

these same old timers started BOWTECH......man some things never change.....still blowing up bows......:laugh: :laugh:

 

I switched to my flatliner because it was a 60# shooting a 438 gr. 2413 @ 240 fps. Had been shooting a cougar mag at 75# with a 465Gr. 2215 @ the same speed. The draw cycle on the XI took a little getting used to but it was sure nice pulling less weight.

 

I am almost a bow virgin, only had two so far :biggrin1: OR I am just too young to know what you are talking about :noidea:

 

Never shot an XI, but I remember them well...
back then I was a Fred Bear man also had an old Browning X-cellerator...They were all good bows:biggrin1:

 

still have my flatliner, and may have to use it this year. but I'd like to find f31 modules for it.

 

I remember them bows. But I had the Jennings. I can't remember the model either. I think it maxed at 165 fps. Wow was that fast then. lol.

 

I too still have my first bow a XI bought it in the 1990's used this bow up till I my wife won my Switchback XT. My XI with full size arrows still shoots about 247 fps. with a overdraw and 26" arrows it shot about 287fps

 

I still shoot the flatliner my dad passed down to me every week
