i guess i should say that itis exactly whati personalywas looking for in a bow.absolutely vibration free,short [i also shot the xl ], quiet and fast.just felt like it was meant to be in my hands.i am not the type to go buy a bow every year, because like you nothing out there didn't impress me enough to take over my current setup. but this badboy has me all hyped up. now i am in the second stage of buying it [ explaining to the wife why i need this bow][:@].by the way would you know if $750.00 is about right. i live in southeastern ohio.and i heard of prices from $650 to $750 around the country. but was wondering what prices are in ohio?
