yes sir, i did get to shoot the instinct. I think that the code was a lot more comfortable for me, and seemed to be a lot more quiet with less handshock. both were very smoothh, but i think the code had the advantage there too. I actually thought that the instinct was the least comfortable of the 3. the element was the most, and the code was 2nd. But then again, the element iis worst at everything else. I liked the longer ata as well. but then again, i only shot about 6 shots through the instinct, but i definately thought it was worth the money. Its got that extra 5 fps on it too.

for a 310 ibo speed bow that is that smooth and quiet, i think it is worth it 100%
