    Nice shooter, just felt clunky and heavy too me. But it shot well.

    Never shot one myself. Buy what fits you and what you are comfortable with.

    I just got mine a week ago, very nice.

    it's a short ata bow @ 30'' with a very smooth draw with very little rollover shock or recoil
    has a ibo rating of 332 @ 30/70 with a 350 grain arrow
    i can tell you with a full loaded string, peep, loop,monkey tails shoot thru my w/b rest 29'' arrow with blazer veins, very tight groups @ 20 yards
    flatline arrow 350 grain shot 317fps
    and a 375 grain shot 307 fps

    not super fast....but a real number with hunting weight arrow,

    I picked up one about a month ago or so. Very nice shooter. The bow is fun to shoot an is a straight shooter.

    I bought mine about 2 months ago. I love it. I have not had any problems at all. Shoots great and I have had no problems with groups.
    I practice out to 65 yds and have no problems even from that distance.
    If you like to shoot long distances I also recommend the Trophy Ridge Crazy 8 Sight.
    Ultimately you have to get what feels right for you. Good Luck.

    LOL @ Hunlee :D

    The Z7 is one of the better bows they've put out in a long while, IMO.... but they ALL shoot straight. ;)

    Seems someone needed to make up an excuse to you for why he wasn't shooting very well in front of his buddies. :rolleyes:
