I have heard some good things about the Bow. The biggest knock on it I have heard is the cheap accessories. I know they wouldn't be on my bow.

The Best thing to do as I have stated many times if you want to buy a Bow is go and shoot as many makes & models as possible!

Take your time, don't be in a Hurry and let the Bow Choose You!

You'll be much Happier!

That's what i've heard also...you will end up stripping the bow of all the accessories anyway. Just wanted to hear some opinions and any first hand experience...haven't been able to get my hands on one yet.. Thanks

I have read some good things about this package also.
For someone who knows nothing about bow hunting would this be a good bow package to start with?

IMO, it'd be a great starter package. You can always upgrade the accessories as you go, but you will get out there with what is on it.

I have shot the assassin. It shoots as smooth without vibration as many bows $300 more expensive. The hostage rest and quiver serve their purpose. I also prefer other accessories over these but for a bow that shoots as nice as the assassin ready to go out of the box, it is priced below what it is worth in comparison to other bows. Or go buy an $800 bow and spend another $300 outfitting it before you can shoot it. The womens version called the heartbreaker is also a sweet bow package for a great price.
