RE: mathews Icon
i have one that i like very well. very quiet smooth shooter. was shooting fingers but have recently switched to release. shooting better than i ever have.
thing i don't like about it can't hit anything with it[:'(]but that is actually me not the bow.
i did put a custom grip on mine trying to reduce torque. seems to have helped.

RE: mathews Icon
If your looking for a forgiving , smooth drawing , extremely quiet , and surprisingly quick bow then look no further than the Icon. I use to get a different bow every year , before I got my Icon , now I dont see the sense in it because I know it wont get any better.

RE: mathews Icon
The guy I shoot 3D with most of the time has an icon and I have shot it a few times. It is a longer ATA bow, not an ideal treestand bow but is VERY quiet and shock free. Very smooth draw cycle as well. It leaves a bit to be desired in the speed area though, at 28.5" of draw at 70lbs and 350 grains his shoots low 270 fps range. It isn't a speed demon but a very smooth shooter.
