I dontunderstand where everyone goes off on PSE's durability. My dad worked for PSE back when they started off in a 700-square foot building in Mahomet, Illinois, in the mid 70s. My dad had the same Fire Flite prototype from 79-05.After25 bowseasons, 17 P&Y bucks, 6 P&Y bears, 2 350+ elk and several wild boars and turkeys later, he broke down and bought a new PSE Dakota. You dont stay in the highly competitive archery business for 35 years selling "****ty equipment" foks.
