    I am curious if anyone knows the price range of their bare bows? Also, any word on their recent quality? I heard a while back due to fast growth and demand, their quality was slipping. If I remember correctly they were bought out, and I am curious if that helped them any. They seem to have some decent specs, I want to shoot one pretty bad.

    Their quality has been and still is fine. Wait time for a bow is another story, and run $850 around here for 2015. I sold my Obsession Sniper XS after I moved for a Hoyt Faktor that our local shop carried. I drove over 2 hours a month before season last year to get another Obsession. I shot the Xcentric and liked it better than the Obsessions, so I bought the Xcentric.

    They are really great bows! They are a mean speed bow so you do have to make sure you are paying attention while at full draw because it just wants to go.. But it is still fun to shoot.

    I have shot the delta 6, Phoenix and fusion 7 and I like theme all ... I would like to order the Knightmare GT because it is a shorter ATA .. Depending on what you get you are looking at $850 - $950 bare bow.

    My local shop is a dealer for them. The quality is as good as you've heard, unfortunately the wait time is just as bad as you've heard.
    $859 was last year's price and now the new line has a higher tag.
    I don't care much for their new more aggressive evolution cam.
    Preferred the lethal cam.

    I have never shot an Obsession set up that felt like it wanted "to go". That is one great thing about it is the ability to set up a big valley.

    I agree. I've had 2 Phoenix, a Fusion 7, and an Evolution. You could hold all of them all day at full draw.
