You guys have your HCA bows and like them. That's fine. Just take this into consideration. This is not the same company that it was even five years ago. I don't like to bash companies or their products, but take what 4HOGS said to the bank.

There are a lot of signs that companies are in some sort of trouble. Check out their dealer base in you area or even your state. How many are there? How many of their bows do you see being shot around where you live. HCA is selling most of their bows directly to the consumer, both at shows and directly, cutting the throats of any dealers they may have. For the most part any warranty work you may need (and you will need it) means you'll have to deal with the company directly.

These are just a couple things to think about. The bows are no faster than anything shooting the same weight arrow, and they do have a lot of vibration due to the light weight. I've seen a few with severe cam-lean due to weak limbs (re: bigbull's comment about the hole drilled through the limbs). I sent one back to the company for a customer and it came back just as bad as when it left.

Companies come and companies go. In the archery business they don't last long if their quality goes down. Need I say more?
