The new '06 Barracuda's from Mathews are awesome . My XT has stayed dead on spec since I bought it with thousands of shots through it and from going from inside the house to very cold hunting temperatures........and then back in the house. String/cables have not moved even as little as a 1/16th !
They are actually more stable than the WC string set I had on my Outback !!
To the thread starter............congrat's on the Tribute(very nice bow). I thought hard about one but personally ended up liking the XT better(I think it's the best Mathews hunting bowever). I do thinkthe Tribute isthe best Bowtech that has been put out yet as far as a hunting bow also(so it makes for a good year for consumers IMO)!! Good luck with it and have fun shooting it!!
