RE: Fred Bear bow
I bought the fred bear instinct and love it. If you can afford the extra 100 or so do it. For $550 at Cabelas I got the package deal with quick release quiver Five point tru glo sight, braided string,Peep, whisker bisquit,S-coil stabilizer, limbsavers and string leeches. It absolutely rules. I can drive tacks with that thing. The upgrade from the element is much better cams and smaller axel to axel.
But if you like the element GO FOR IT, that was my first choice. You will not be dissappointed with either.
