    I shot the ballistic. For the money great bow. Shot pretty much the same as the chill which I loved. If I were you I would try to shoot the New Mission Blaze. Best bow I've ever shot in that price range. If you like both bows equally I would go with the least expensive one and spend the extra money on some top notch accessories. Good luck!

    I got my Ballistic for the 2013 season and I love it. I actually held the carbon knight and although it does seem like a nice bow with equal stats it almost felt too light for me. With that being said I can tell you the Ballistic is an awesome bow and it shoots really tight groups. I debated buying the Blaze instead but for the money and the stats it really didn't seem worth it.

    That carbon knight looks like a really sweet bow. I haven't shot either. I picked up a barely used helim for a little less. Shoot a bunch of 2013 bows and shop around. Lots of good deals out there.

    Have shot either one of these bows yet? Have you shot any other bows? If you haven't shot any do yourself a favor and test out a bunch of bows! You might be surprised!!

    Thanks, It is my first ever bow. It shoots really nice and is not very heavy at all. I know some people say it has a blocky grip but that doesn't bother me since I shoot 1911's. I also couldnt pass up the Bowtech military program.

    Did you have any problems with it jumping at full draw? I recently purchased one and it feels as though I need to pull it through the back wall to stop it from jumping forward. I read somewhere that you can adjust the depth of the valley by moving the draw stop. Is that correct?
