62" H2, 71@28 drawn 29.5, rope loaded aluminums 650ish grain,  192fps. I've got 51# limbs that work great with 2117's but I've never chrono'd them.

Never seen an Adcox CX let alone shot one so I can't speak to the comparison.  Those are the speeds the chronograph recorded.  Have no reason to believe there's any problem with it...

Can add this info.  The limbs I'm using on the Hunter II are originally from the Hunter I, and are marked 57lbs(@28").  On my scale they drew 55lbs@28" on the Hunter I, and 52lbs@28" when put on the Hunter II riser.  So being it's possible the Hunter II draws 54lbs@28".

When I asked about this disparity, I was advised the scale used by Chek Mate is highly accurate and unquestionably the weight on the limbs is absolutely correct. But it's a moot point. I go with the my scale because that's what I have, so as far as I'm concerned my Hunter II is 52lbs@28".


I can advise that I recently sold a 62" 53lbs@28" Fedora 560 that was visibly faster than either of my Chek Mates.  I can advise that this bow drew exactly 53lbs@28" on my scale.  Never chronographed it though...

Never Chronied mine but is 60" 53# @ 28"....not a barn burner but not a dog either. The H2's saving grace is it's inherent forgiveness and shootability...they shoot REALLY sweet and are a great all around hunting bow. Shot some bows that cost 2-3 times more than an H2 but none of them shot any better. Quiet and accurate are far better qualities than speed in my book. Just my two cents. Best of Luck!
