Navy, this is the first I've heard of this on any of the boards... where did you hear that from?

I have shot the XT, and it is extremely dead in the hand... very similar to BowTech's Tribute, but not as fast and minus the adjustable modules.

It's probably the best hunting bow Mathews has come out with in a long while, IMO. If you're locked in to buying a Mathews, I'd recommend it. If you're still open to trying other bows, I'd recommend shooting the Tribute before plunking down the $700 or so to have something to compare it to.
