The shop I help out at has one. The thing is yeah....it shoots great and is smooth, very little hand vibration. I shoot the tribute and understand the weight issue, however, it doesn't bother me, but then again, i'm a younger guy. The weight really has no effect on me, but that's me. Equalizer is a good bow, shoots fast and is smooth. As far as the weight goes, you'll be relieved, as it is not as heavy. I honestly think if he gets one in you'll walk out the door with it, with what you've said in your previous post and what you're thinking. It's a great bow IMO. If I were you I'd def. give 'er a shot. I don't think you'll be let down. It chorno's fast, and is overall a very respectable bow.
