I've noticed that at 6.5 to @8 mph I can give some down tab and pick up a few tenths mph. When going faster than that I got to have the tabs full down to get the bow down and gain a couple of mph. I think the gain at slower speeds would of been more before I added 250' of chain to the original 50' but I had no way to measure speed before adding it, the extra 275# help hold the bow down.
