    Damn...
    Why the heck did I watch that vid....
    I've been perfectly happy with my old Carbon Element. I've convinced myself there's nothing better to warrant an upgrade...until I watched that vid.

    Lol, smart man.

    I feel like I need to kill 10 deer with a bow to justify a bow purchase. My current bow has only killed 5. Thems pretty spensive deers....

    Yes, yes they are...........Break it down by the minute of time spent in the stand. It won't hurt as bad.

    I'm impressed with the new tech but not at all impressed with the FPS, the turbo is up there in good range but the brace height on all three versions sucks. I know they claim due to cam design that they've found a way to mitigate that but jeeze. Guess I'll have to shoot a turbo and see. Maybe I'll stick with my 4 year old element.

    I'd like to have one but I think I'll wait a bit. I just ordered several thousand dollars worth of corn seed for 2018, I'd probably better not pile on too much expense.

    You just spent several thousand already so an extra thousand won’t hurt. Just do it. Do it now.

    Lol, maybe...
    I would if it was like I "needed" a bow because I didn't have a decent one. As it is, my old bow kills deer so easily I'm almost ashamed to go hunting with it. It's almost like cheating.

    I may have found my new bow, I just can't buy another BT but I love my Barnesdale destroyer may be time to get a Hoyt.
