    I feel it was a vastly overlooked bow in the line at the time. It was overshadowed by the 82nd because of 10 fps. At 36 ATA, 7 inch BH, and 340 fps it was an awesome bow IMO.

    ya i know the 82nd a bit faster, ....i had the opportunity to shoot one the other day in my local shop, like it alot, thought about buying it, but just wanted to see what guys thought about it before i purchase it... either way it felt real good to me, very little hand shock, or vibration, pretty smooth, and fast.....ill prolly pull the trigger and buy it

    What kind of price are you getting? An STS goes a long way on that bow FYI.

    Worth it. If I could find one brand new left over for that in LH, I'd be lighter in the pocket. That said, 500 would be the top end of it. Order up a Mean V STS in matching camo and enjoy it.

    I didn't like it up where it was and honestly the Mean V I put on it worked better in my opinion.

    Wait until you get the bow, then follow the directions on the site. I can't remember what it was.
