    Is it the 30 or 34? There is no 31 on Hoyt's site.

    I like those bows. I do not like how you have to purchase a $220 attachment for your Last Chance EZ press or it voids the warranty but I still want to shoot one.

    Good looking bow. Looks like it has a very smooth draw.

    Good catch!! Thanks! The bow comes in at 30-1/2" ATA so i rounded up haha, changed it in the description of the video! The bow is a great shooter. As for the press adapter, i haven't pressed one yet myself but know some folks who have and they said the adapter is definitely necessary to keep the bow in place when pressing it

    I was just whining because I do all my own work and just bought this press last year and now may have to spend more money because I really like the Defiant series bows lol. I am going to shoot the new Mathews and check out the Bowtech's when they come out and then decide.

    I think it looks kinda ugly but I'm sure it will grow on me as most bows do.
