Have you shot one yet. I tried one out yesterday, thought it was a little noisy, didn't like the break point so close to the end of the draw :dunno: Nevertheless it is a Mathews, so it can't be to bad. The sticker price on it here was $829.

I would go shoot it, I loved it and was very impressed. Espetially since you dont need the high poundage to have awesome speed! Just remember, if you shoot one make sure it is turned up all the way or close to it. If it is a60-70 pound bow you want to be at least 65 pounds but preferably closer to the 70 fo max performance. You'll have less vibration too.

I like it, though I would only get a 60# bow as it seems to draw back easier. I shot a 70# bow set at 64 and it was night and day when drawing it back between 70 and 64. I Think I would have a hard time with a 70# bow in a hunting situation especially if you have to let down. Watched a 60# ( which was maxed out at 65# ) 26" Monster shoot a 400g arrow through the crono at 275 fps. So us short draw guys can finally get some decent speed out of our short draw. The hand shock was nothing more than what I expected and was toleratable.
Shut up and Hunt!
