I hear ya.  I was eyeballing a Dream Catcher at the Nock.  Sure was nice.
But I like the Saphirre archery bows too.

My old Pearson Spoiler Plus that I bought new around 1990-91 it was the fastest bow on the market at the time and was advertised at 235 fps or something like that but this one had the wrong limbs installed from the factory and being the first bow I had ever shot I had no idea what to expect. The bow shop guy was excited to see it because it was the first he had seen so he wanted me to shoot a few arrows from it. Man they were screaming out of the bow so fast he wanted me to shoot through a chrono. If I remember right they were around 300 fps. That was unheard of at the time (early 90's) so he measured the poundage of the bow and it measured at 94 lbs of pull. I had never shot a bow before so I had no idea that was way to much pull for a bow  :chuckle: I toned it down to 85 lbs for most of my hunting with it and the last year I used it it dropped it to 74 lbs
