I finally set up my new Journey, for those whom are interested, its 50# at 28", I chose 2016 XX75's, 4" para,arrows are 31.5" eastons alum, I tested 100g,125g, and 145g, at those weights the arrows flight was best at 145g and 125g was acceptable, the 100g hit low right 6". I am a lefty. I used Rick Barby strings (ff), and the brace was best at 7.75". there was no need for silencers or puffs. It caught me as strange at first, being that quiet, but I believe I recall someone else stating his strings where good but dang.

It takes some experimenting doesnt it? But when you find that sweet spot it is rewarding. I have a Journey to. I shoot GT 35/55 full length 145 gr tip 4 inch para @ 45# at 28 inches at 68 yrs old and shoot every day.I found out when my broadheads hit with field points its tuned pretty good.Also its very quiet at 8 inches brace with puffs.Good luck to all from Kansas.
