    You didn't shoot it before you bought it?

    That's a good deal on a real nice bow. Congrats. My local shop has a great deal on a new black one that is very tempting.

    Thanks all!!

    Yes, I shot it before I bought it, quite a bit actually, before and after it was tuned. My excitement was to get it HOME and shoot it!

    In fact, right after tuning it, they offered me an opportunity to shoot it through a chrono. It was a chronograph that attached to the bow, replacing the stabilizer. I put 3 arrows through it, with the chrono attached, and the average speed was 299.3 fps. This is the first time I've ever shot through a chrono or even wondered about speed. Is that a good speed?

    Here she is, my new Pretty!

    Hoping to get out to our archery club range this afternoon, to put those 7 pins to use! I can only shoot 20 and 30 yards in my yard, 40 if I stand on the sidewalk, 50 if I stand in the middle of the street. The neighbors have gotten used to the sight of me standing in the middle of the street, shooting past my house into my back yard...lol

    Okay good! I'm fairly new to archery and haven't ever even given speed a thought...haha. When I did think about it, I knew I didn't want to know the speed of my 2004 Mathews SQ2...lol

    That's a good speed IMO.

    Nice looking bow. The more I look at those carbon bows....the more I want one.

    Great bow for sure, that's a nice price too. I paid just under 1500 for my CE RKT setup :(

    Congrats! I love mine even though I have about $2K in mine with a switchout on sights and color kit and a couple dozen arrows, lol.

    I love it, hope you have as good a year in 2014 with it as I did mine last fall, took three deer my first year back into archery after a three year break. I attribute a lot of it to the bow, great, great bow.
