Just purchased the 2009 model a few days ago. What a smooth drawing and minimal to no vibration when shooting. I have some shoulder issues and was practicing with a 1995 compound and was normally sore in the shoulders after less than 30 minutes of shooting. This bow I feel like I haven't been shooting at all after 40 minutes. I would recommend this bow to all. Normally retails for 699.99 but got the bow and everything but sight and quiver for 500.00 out da door! So, now if anyone has any tips on what type of sight to throw on I would appreciate it. I am not rich and have been searching eBay and Craigslist.
