Default Do you still like your Drenilin?

Has any one with a Drenilin had any problems with it so far? If so what? If not let me know what you like.
I"™m thinking about getting one and just looking for feed back.
And yes I have shot every thing else. I like this the best but just want to make sure that the new design is solid. The limb pockets are my biggest concern.

Yes, I still like mine. Have had it since last December and it shoots very nice. I have had to reserve bottom serving on cable which seems to be typical of these from reading others on Mathews site. Also, the camo around grip area is wearing which others report. It is not a problem but I have not experienced that with my Hoyts. I also have a Vectrix and think both bows are equal in many respects. The Drenalin is lighter but to me that is the major difference.

No problems here, I had a little serving seperation, but I replaced the string anyways, I now have over 8,000 shots and have no problems, my current string and cable has no seperation after 6,000 shots. I did have a problem with the camo rubbing off, but Mathews sent me a new riser, which I then had powdercoated black. If I had to do it again, I would buy an All Black Dren, since they now are available!

Well after a lot of careful thought and test shooting a XT against a Drenalin side by side, I walked away yesterday with my new Drenalin. Before test shooting them side by side I thought I would be getting the XT, go figure. That's why shooting diferent bows is so important.

Have you shot the APA Suphan yet?? If not it will make your choice harder when you do. They are absolutly out of this world. Had two Drenalins traded in on them this year. I do like the Drenalin, just spoiled by APA.
