[BorderBows]

Anyhow, Yes the BD is faster than the Reiver. It is our flag ship bow, and it all other bows get trickle down technology.

The difference in both the standard and super in both the reiver and Black douglas ranges are based round the lines in the riser. The Super has a diverging strip though it, it is thin in the middle and thicker at both ends. The standard as a parrallel second timber running thought it.

We dont see any reason at all why the reiver cant get those speeds Especially with light arrows.

I will add a hole pile of extras in on this. Using a chrono that is not calibrated to anyone elses standards other than its factory setting. Using 4x 5inch feathers, on 9gpp arrows, from a 14 strand and string silencers, im shooting 196fps. form a 62" at 28", 62" Black douglas ultra. With Hex5-H black limbs. This is with a 28" draw. Long limbs on the shortest riser is not the fastest combo, but it works for me.
But thats my set up with my chrono. Dont want to start a "my bow is faster than yours" In short, our bows are fast and stable. The TX40 is what been in the target limbs of ours. These stand up on there own in the middle of the worlds best limbs. This is in both the black reiver and the hex series limbs.


Thanks for the photo post johnk, we should be more diligent. (anyone have more hours in the day spare)
