    Have been looking to try one of these for a while now. From what Ive read, the bow is harsh and doesnt have a very nice back wall. Wants to jump really bad. Would be interested to know what people who have them think..

    I have bin shooting the motive 6 for awhile now and I must say its one of the best bows I have ever shot its lighting fast super smooth, absolutely dead in hand and has a solid backwall. But yes it has a short valley and it is kinda jumpy but other than that its one real Shooter.

    Thanks for the info. Id still like to try one. Ive owned many bows that people thought were "jumpy" yet I loved them.

    Not to get in a lengthy review ill just say this bow is fantastic only thing I see that could be better is the valley. Mine is pretty small. I did hear that it could be tuned for a bigger valley but less fps.

    I shot one of these when they first came out and man that thing was fast. Had a pretty smooth draw but the backwall wasnt what I like in a hunting bow.

    Of course the valley is small. It's a 6" brace height bow that is shooting 350fps.. its the nature of the beast. Shoot the Motive7 if you want a better valley.

    I shot the Motive when I was buying a new bow, I thought it was jumpy but man is it fast! I decided to actually go with the bowtech expierience. I thought it was a better all around bow
