Check Out Pros & Cons
Pros
Pros
- Top-of-era speed - 342-350 fps IBO, with owners clocking real hunting arrows in the low-to-mid 320s (327 fps with a 380-grain shaft at 63 lb)
- Holds like a target bow - the long riser settles the pin, and owners repeatedly rate it as accurate as a premium target rig, only much faster
- Lower hand shock than its speed reputation suggests - many owners describe minimal shock and a smoother release than comparable bows of the era
- Short 5 3/4" brace height and the aggressive dual cam make it less forgiving of form errors - a specialist's bow; shooters who want margin should look at a longer-brace design instead
- Shallow valley and a hard-holding wall - the cam wants to pull forward if you relax, so stay engaged on the back wall; anyone used to a relaxed 80% let-off should shoot one first
