Pros
Pros
- Built for pass-through penetration - owners report clean bear and deer kills with the 100-pound version, backed by roughly 118 ft-lb of kinetic energy on tap
- Fills the rare 80-to-100-pound draw-force niche almost no production bow of its era covered
- Fast for a heavy rig - 325-333 fps IBO from the single Infinity Cam keeps the extra poundage moving on a flat line
- Up to 80% let-off keeps even a 100-pound peak holding at a manageable weight at full draw
- The 80-100 pound draw force is a hard fit boundary - this is a bow for strong, experienced shooters, and even backed down at the limb bolts it stays a heavy-poundage tool, not a general-purpose hunter
- Discontinued after 2004, so it is a used-market buy today - custom shops such as 60X and America's Best Bowstrings still build Samson strings and cables, worth budgeting a fresh set on any used purchase
