Title: Fedora Jr. Big East compared to Fedora 560
Post by: dachba on February 01, 2008, 06:48:00 PM
I'm trying to go down in weight from my Fedora Jr. Big East 53# to something in 45#. I need to have the same type of locator grip (with the thumb rest) that the Big East has. I also want similiar shooting feel and performance (the Big East is very fast). Has anyone shot both bows (Big East and Fedora 560)? If so, what are your opinions?

I also understand Dan Toelke makes a bow with a similiar grip.  I would also like comparisons with his bow.
Thanks Dave in Ft. Collins, CO

Picture of the Big East riser with thumbrest.  It looks to be the same as the standard 560.

Yep...the 560 is as close as you are going to get.

Dachba The 560 was around for a long time before there was a big east. Mike taught junior everything he knows about bows, give him a call.  Greg
