I don't have a Dren yet, but am going to look for one this winter. I shoot a Switchback and love it, except for the weight. It's heavy. The Dren is pretty much the same bow as a Switchback, but just lighter. The one I shot felt great. I shot a Z7 last year and felt the draw cycle to be a bit smoother, but it had more hand shock than my Switchback and felt kinda twitchy.
