Having played with this bow now since last Thursday, I have more data to share with you on this bow. Today, I was able to reduce the sound and felt vibration at the shot by at least 50% just by replacing the string's four rubber speed nocks/dampeners, with regular brass nocks and shrink tubing. I replaced the ones closest to the center serving with 6 brass speed nocks (about 1") 4-inches away from the cam where the string exits the tracks, and the two closest to their cams with 3 brass nocks (about 1/2") 2-1/2" away from the cam where the string exits the tracks (I copied the pattern from my Bowtech RPM 360). The difference is night and day, and shoots soooo much better.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Well done as always. Great bow. Almost got one. But went with the Alaskan XT.

I had to shift both cams on my right-handed bow to the left, making the the spacers on the left side of the cams exactly 7/32", in order for the bow to actually papertune with the arrow right through the centerline of the riser. I got my bow set to 64#, and a (measured) drawlength of 27" (on the 26.5" module/drawstop setting) and shooting a 385 grain arrow at 271 fps. This is faster than even my Bowtech Solution SS set at 71# on the Comfort setting and a (measured) drawlength of 27" (on the 26.5" module/drawstop setting), shooting a 360 grain arrow at 275 fps. I think the Whitetail Maxx is a real winner at half the cost ($600 bow-only) of the Solution SS ($1200). It shoots faster; is lighter; and tunes up better with the string perfectly plumb with the riser (my Solution SS string is 1/4 bubble off of plumb with the riser).

We have had one that needed the same.

[@michaelrea6764]

Great stuff as always.

[@phatty363]

Can’t wait for the paradigm I have my eye on that one

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

We have one 60lb available but more will arrive in January 👍

I shot one last night for the local shop owner. So I would literally replace everything it comes with. I definately had to add weight to the back and used my Cutter stab for it. Had residual vibration..but its a Bear. Worst part was that the sight was self. destructing after 35ish shots.

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

That is definitely what I recommend is start upgrading parts soon as possible to get the best out of it!

[@jebstuart1323]

@@BetterOutdoorsarchery I will stick with my Veracity. Idk if there are any decent RTH packages that arent just plastic rubbish waiting to fail.

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

I'm just grateful there are really good bows in this price category regardless of the accessories

[@johnrutherford1650]

I need to quit procrastinating and make the drive from Tennessee and and get over there and get a new bow and get all set up!

[@BetterOutdoorsarchery]

Heck yeah! Just get with us to get that appointment scheduled 👍
