    My guess is the Hoyt. You hate bowtech which eliminates the sentinel and stud. Everyone in your area shoots a mathews and you don't want to be like everyone else, so that elimintes the drenalin.

    I owned the regular Drenalin and liked it. I just never shot it that good. 4" at 20 yd was it. Nice shooting bow, not very fast. If you are into the solo cam way of thinking, try the reezen. Just alot better bow than the Drenalin IMO.

    That's says a lot Germ, TeeJay knows his Mathews. I'd listen.

    With you Germ, it's hard to say but whomever it is, it will fold the company. Your known for that. :D :p

    No ****, LOL

    The Studd was a hell of a bow for 549.99, I do love single cam bows. ;)

    i have shot the z7 in black and it's needs a test drive if you care to, you will like it.... little ugly riser but it grows on ya.
    if this bow had a 65% cam option i would of bought it on the spot

    shop i went to did not have the new dr2 in ata is 33 guess it's a newer drenalin , i still want to shoot it, is offered in 65 and 80 % percent letoff

    shot the monster 7 and is well worth a test drive by anyone looking for a new bow , vey fast , little on the heavy side like 4.35 lb and is offered with a 65% and 80% option

    as for the bowtechs I do want to shoot them before i buy my next bow, hoping to see the 340/350 for some test firing in the next week.

    I'd be surprised to see you shell out the money for the Matrix. That's a lot of cheddar for a bow. You don't mention Mathews too often so I'd be a bit surprised if you went with the Drenalin LD. I've heard you say some things about the Sentinel over the last several months so that would be my guess.

    If you bring BowTech, Mathews, or Hoyt down your powers of financial destruction are simply amazing. We'll have to get you to buy every Chinese thing you can so we can get our money back from them.;)

    I was all set on the stud... I like the way it feels in my hand and they it looks and the way it shoots..(I don't like the cosmetics of split limbs)....BUt when I shot the Iceman....for me it was over.
