    Could you be more specific? What specs or attributes does the bowtech have that others don't that make it "so good it should be illegal"?

    It's not what others lack. It's about having everything together in one. Thats what makes it great. It's not reinventing the wheel.

    I really like my Invasion CPX. I didn't shoot every bow on the market first, but it felt better than the Mathews bows that I shot.

    I shot the Insanity CPX, but wanted something with a longer ATA, so I shot the CPXL. The CPXL seemed like a decent shot, but lost it's speed edge when compared to the shorter CPX. Draw cycle was OK on both. I then shot a Monster and hated the "squishy" back wall. My journey then took me to a Prime Centroid and WOW! Now there's a bow I can love. Only problem was they didn't have any with the 30" cams and I heard the draw on those was a little harsher so I waited to pull the trigger. That same day I shot an Elite Hunter and Answer. Those are also great bows. The back wall was similar to the Centroid, rock solid. The draw was super smooth and I felt like I had to almost push the bow off the back wall. I waiting to see what Prime's line-up is like coming out this year before I make my decision, though.

    this Cracks me up.....

    Call Jamie at Bowtech He is the Rep who does most of the state of Illinois and ask him how many Insanity's have:

    1: Blown up
    2:Unable to Paper tune do to timing and cam lean.
    3: 70lbs bows not making it to max weight and toping out at 66
    4: Having mods not staying tight and working there way loose.

    But, Thats just my input. I say a small prayer before I pull one back every single time

    There is no best bow for everyone. If that was the case there would only be one bow manufacturer and everyone else would go out of business..? Every bow shoots different in different peoples hands. I think its all about fit, comfort and feel.

    So Sharpshoot3r, there hasnt been one post in this thread that when asked multiple times what makes this bow "the best there is" that you answered the question. All you say in return is "that it just is" that kind of throws your credibility out the window. I personally have shot all the latest Mathews, Bowtech, Hoyt, Elite, G5 and Bear bows. And personally I like the Heli-M the best. Thats just my personal opinion, I actually thought the Bowtech was the worst shooter out of all the manufacturers I tried. The Elite is probably the second best, and it would be my choice if I couldnt get a Mathews like I'm planning on doing. The moral of this story is that you have to have some information to back up your statements if your going to make them. Just my .02.

    I own one and while its a very nice bow i wouldnt go as far as completely blows the others out of the water. Everyone now days makes a nice bow and to be honest id take my invasion or mathews z7 over the insanity. But to each there own. Glad you like it though bowtech makes a nice product!!
