I am sure others would get slightly different results but I feel that is about what one can expect. I shot them enough to feel comfortable with the numbers. My tab, same arrows, string silencers, same un-official chronograph, etc. Well that was me shooting those bows across a shop chronograph, not a machine. No doubt the X-Tours are a fine limb, just holding and looking at them screams quality - performance is solid, feel is excellent, quiet and stable shooting - just one thing not to like about them.$. That should tell the story - right now all I can compare is my 35# set, not really a fair comparison. Now for the $789.99 question - are they worth it? Well for me, probably not - I am currently awaiting (and have been for a couple months now) a set of 45# TT BM 2.0's that I really want to shoot side by side with the X-Tours. Through the Chronograph the 17" riser and longs averaged 286fps (~47# 28") the 19 averaged 284 (~46.5# Fairly fast, but not really burners at 8.25 and 8.35 gpp. Both braced about 8-3/4", both tuned up to shoot 3- under/gap arrows lined up vertically with the aiming point. The 17" riser had one spacer behind the strike plate, the 19" had no spacers, both shot off the shelf with the stock rest. Both bows shoot and tune nicely with GT Entrada 600's with standard inserts and 145gr field points (388gr total) at my 28" draw. I would assume a fairly aggressive draw force curve. Drawing and shooting can be described as smooth but fairly stiff. First thing that comes out is the striking good looks, superb finish and how light they are in hand. First one has a 17" riser and 45# Longs, The second has a 19" riser and 45# mediums - both make up 62" AMO rigs. So I have had the opportunity now to shoot 2 different Satori risers with 2 different sets of Bamboo core X-Tour limbs.
