PSEBO, Since i don't have a bow anymore i thought i would test a few different ones before i decide what bow to get.The bow has avery nice grip.The draw cycle is fairly aggressive but manageable and has a very short valley(sort of reminds me of my Black Knight)and a nice hard wall which i love in a bow.As far as speed goes at 71 pounds and 30 inch draw it shot a 396 grain arrow at 287 fps. which is pretty respectable.It seemed to be a pretty quiet bow and had very little vibration.The Illusion is a very nice bow that will be on my possibility list.
