    I found what I think is a great deal on Bowtech Insanity. It come with some sights and rest. HHA single pin which I would sale and whisker Biscuit, Plano all weather case. Does anyone have one? It's a nice shooting bow....the guys asking $550 but can probably get it for $500.

    Sounds like a deal to me. I would have a pro shop look it over to inspect before forking over the money.

    It's in great shape...I do all mine own work and tuning on my bows. The shops around couldn't tell you anything...lol. Sad but true. There is one shop close to me that has a lot of stuff...but their bow tech only knows how to install a peep...lol. I was going to pick up another new bow soon. It was between the DNA SP and the Faktor 30 but ran across this one. What year was the Insanity made? I seen Bowtech still has them on their website...said MSPR was $999 which was a little steep I thought...lol. Thanks for the response!

    The insanity is a great bow. It's the smoothest drawing dual cam speed bow in my opinion (MY OPINION).

    That is a pretty good deal since it has the sight and rest. A bare one goes for about the $500 to $550 mark. You are correct the MSRP was $999 but that was before the new flagship bows came out. They're likely to be much cheaper now.

    It's one of the only bows I would trade mine in for. I had one but traded it for my mathews. Probably shouldn't have, but it's done so I'm not going to fret about it.

    That is a really cheap price for the bow. Just look it over make sure that there is nothing wrong with it at all.

    They are great bows, shot a cpx and a cpxl. Both very smooth for the speed they are producing. IMO the experience is smoother and rumor has it the rpm 360 is smoother than the experience, may just get a new rpm. But for the price I would say get it they are great bows, and it is a 2012

    Appreciate it guys...just wasn't for sure about it. I don't think he has shot it much. I think he is getting divorced and needing the money. Gonna try to get back in touch with him tonight about it. Thanks again.

    Knowing you like pse bows, you can draw a lot of similarities geometrically and in design between a lot of pse pro series bows. I have never shot it more than 15 yards, but by the specification I wouldn't be surprised if it felt like a smooth pse bow

    I called the guy back like I said I was going too. No answer, left a message. He called back and already sold it. :jaw: I thought wow...that was fast...lol. I don't blame him cause when I shot it I didn't ask him to hold onto it for a day. I wanted to find out more about it since I didn't know much about the Insanity. Just my luck...lol. I guess I will just wait a few months and get one of the two new bows I want. Just hate that I missed a deal like that.

    Here is a link to the bow.

    Yeah...would have been a good deal...lol. I guess I'll just wait a few months and get the PSE DNA SP or the Hoyt Faktor 30.
