I just bought this bow last week and i think it is awesome. I paid 595 for the bow completly set up and out the door. Plus the dealer gave me half a dozen arrows for free. Couldn't be happier with the way it shoots and feels.
Yah got mine for $600 and $850 to make it truely a RAK (new to shooting bow so I had to buy arrows,release,etc,etc). But my dealer traded rests with me.(He takes the one off the assassin and stick it on a childrens bow that didn't have one and Jacks the price up a tad). $800 bow quality in it.
Well I swapped for a drop away rest added a kisser button($4?!?lol) but since I'm new I needed 1/2 dozen arrows, release,. and a case.So that's what inflates my price so much.Sad thing is a still have to dump money into broadheads and some lumenoks
I only got to play with one for a bit at it's longest setting. (still not long enough for me unfortunately or I'd own one) It's a great bow for the money IMO.
I just recenly bought the bowtech assassin in black ops. I am a female shooter and hunter! I wanted something faster, smoother, and top of the line bow! wow did i get it.. this bow is awesome. Before I was shooting a Bear "lights out".. I am shooting 26inch draw length, 57lb draw weight, 350grain arrows and I am getting 270fps.. that is smoking! For the quality and price.. u can't afford not to buy this bow!! pros: smooth solid draw quiet release fast comfortable lightweight awesome design binary cam cons: None so far!
