I think the 360 looks interesting , not for me though . I like a bit more brace height and a longer axle to axle . But with a 24 -30 in draw my wife could shoot one and would be quite a bit faster than the other short draw bows . The program she uses estimated at 25 draw and 50lbs. with a 300grain arrow she would be around 270fps at least 40 fps faster than her Heartbreaker . But is she worth $999  :chuckle:

How many women are going to want a 4.4# bow that draws like a 360fps mule kicker?  I know my wife wants nothing to do with that no matter how much faster!  We went with the Carbon Rose.  Basically the same speed as the Heartbreaker, but it really balances nice and at 3.2#  she's really looking forward to putting some range time on it.  Not sure the Bear Rumor is worth $200 more than the Carbon Rose, but my goodness does that bow feel great in the hand.  And wholly crap is the one we got smooth and quiet!!!  Going to take a miracle to get the Hoyt out of her hands, but for once we have a few bows she is looking forward to giving an honest try of replacing the Hoyt.

Rav , it only took a couple minutes to rule it out , not counting the price we figure the draw cycle would be to harsh even at 50 . My wife started out with a Kobalt , then switched to a Heartbreaker , the draw cycle was much more forgiving on the Heartbreaker , I'll assume Carbon Rose is the same . I'm sure your wife is going to love it .

I've been trying to pry that Kobalt out of her hands for a few years now!  That's one heck of a bow, but slow and noisy compared to the newer bows.  She has small hands and the Kobalt grip fits perfectly.  So it is probably going to be a tough sell with the C. Rose.  I try not to let her know the Hoyt cam lean freaks me out every time she draws it :chuckle:  Though the 30 or so animals she has tagged with it never seemed to mind.

Yeah, the C. Rose is about the same.  She may not be excited about the grip, but the 3.2# sure has her interest.  And it balances so well it feels like 1.5#.  Should be a great bow if she can just get herself to accept change and ignore the logo ;)  She shoots the Bear extremely well and likes the reduced noise.  She just hates the fact she might be a little like me...that would be horrible :yike: :chuckle:
