    1" difference in brace height and different risers, that's it.

    The 340 is my choice. 1" of extra brace height is worth giving up 10 fps IMO.

    My thoughts exactly. I have long arms as well so the bh doesn't bother me.

    I went with the 340 over the 350, worth the extra inch to me as well.

    I could have easily got both the 340 and the 350 if I'd wanted... instead, I have two 340s hanging in my shop. ;)

    I shoot the 350 and was already used to a short brace after my 82nd airborne.I shoot a 29.5 in draw at 62 lbs and get 317 fps with a 340gr arrow.I had my 82nd for 8 months shot the destroyer and ordered it right away.quiet and dead in hand and a blast to shoot good luck

    If I was 28" or shorter, I'd pick the D-350. I'm just about 30" on my hunting bow, and have a D-340.

    How much of a difference is there between the shot feel in the 340 and 350? I have shot the 350 and was surprised at how smooth it was, it seems like it should fly our of your hand, but instead it stays right there practically shock free. I just found a great deal on a 340 and am debating on giving up my marquis for it.

    The 340 is a fantastic bow....as is the Marquis. If I were you, I'd find a way to have both. I'd love to find a leftover 09 Marquis. (LH)

    I'm trying to convince myself that I should have both as well. I have a few too many projects of my own going on but I might be able to make it work. Is there any noticeable difference between the 340 and 350 while shooting them other than the 10 fps?

    Been shooting a Mathews for years and it is a great bow, service when needed even better, but I have been looking at the Destroyer. Local shop doesn't have the 350 in stock to shoot but does have the 340. Thought that I would wait til I could shoot both the same day to check them side by side. Any thoughts that there is enough difference to matter. Just wanted to see what people really think of the 2 bows
