    Bought my 1st bow last July, and plan on keeping for the next few years until bow is worn out or the newer stuff coming out is night and day better.

    Will take the money that new bow costs per year and invest in hunting other game/regions of the US. Should be fun!

    The victory is a great shooting bow. They are giving everyone a real run for their money with that release this year.
    My buddy has one in Orange and black and he said it's really sweet.

    Best of luck with it!!

    Thanks. That's what surprised me. I'm picked it up and shot it and my first thought was "why do I like this 900 dollar bow so much more than the 15-1700 dollars ones. My wallet was pretty happy.

    I have been told that by a couple guys that it's the best holding bow they ever shot. Pretty high praise.
    Though I don't have any target bow interest I hope to shoot one shortly.
    One is supposed to come my way for a tune job ...we will see

    It's really just holds like a rock. Definitely better than the one stx, hoyt pro edge, mathews trg 7, and all the other target rigs I shot.

    What do you attribute that to?

    My e32 is like that for me. My pin float is noticeably smaller. It just feels locked in at full draw.

    Little bit of everything. The grip felt a little bulky at first but it's incredibly repeatable. My hand just slides into the same place every time. Really nice stiff riser, good mass weight, 10* down stabilizer bushing helps with the hold too. Every little attribute about it just makes it such a solid bow.

    The grip is really just my favorite ever. Just so nice.

    Have hockey tape on my impact but absolutely none is necessary here. Not a single issue with the grip.

    Still shooting a 2010 (Sentinel) and 2009 (Marquis). Since I'm not out shooting as much for recreation, they just need to do their job in the field. I would rather have the money in the bank going toward lans or my next house (which it is). Just different priorities right now.
