    I went and shot a Bowtech 350, 340 and an Invasion. I shot them all for about 1 hour straight untill I got a little tired. I fell for one of them and even put some money down on it and had my pro shop owner put in on lay away. Wanna guess which one?

    I'm going to guess the Invasion seeming as though the price is cheap it still shoots as good if not better than the others.

    I should add that they were all equipped with the ripcord fall aways, flashpoint sights, 29 inch draw and they were all set at 65-66 pounds. Back in Feb I shot the Hoyt Matrix and the Mathews Z7extreme.

    Well, obviously with conversing with you behind the scenes for a while now I know which one you preferred before your hour-long shooting session, but I'm going to keep mum. I'll be curious to see which one you ended up with. :)

    340 for sure, Troy is all about feel of a bow, not speed.

    Ended up going with her, huh? You did the right thing by shooting everything else though (including other manufacturers).

    I felt like the Invasion was a sweet little bow overall. I didnt like the draw cycle on it as much as the 340 or 350. I picked the 350 over the 340 because I just wasnt one bit bothered by the difference in brace height. The 350 has just a little more speed but that wasnt the deciding factor. The 350 that I shot just felt perfect in my hand. So I went with it. Its real quiet and fast. Gonna be fun setting her up. I probably wont get it for a month or two ..gonna pay it off in a couple payments. :)
