Bear Carnage
Personal Commentary by Jon Silks about the Bear Carnage:
The Carnage has very little kick at the shot followed by some vibration that is short lived. While the grip was a little square the material and transitions made it quite comfortable. The draw cycle was very smooth other than a hasty drop into the valley. This is a VERY quiet bow. Bear's Carnage had mixed results - two very good categories and two not-so-good categories. Another bow on the edge of stardom.

Using the Above Table: Kinetic Energy: (in foot-pounds)
This is the energy that actually goes into propelling the arrow. Basically it is the energy that is left over from the stored energy after all of the bow system friction is accounted for. Using The Above Graph: The area under the graph signifies the amount of energy stored by the system from brace height to full draw (power stroke). The shape of the curve is generated by a plot of draw weight in pounds against draw length in inches and gives an indication of how the bow will feel when drawn. The more rounded the curve the more "smooth" the feel of the draw cycle, however, if the curve is "squared-off" it will likely feel more aggressive. The trade off comes in performance, as the more aggressive curve is generally indicative of more stored energy and more speed.
