For all the reasons above but for the first time in a long time I have 2 different bows that I don't see myself getting rid of for quite some time. I like the Apex 7's that much and will keep the 70lb'er for 3D next season, and the 56lb'er for indoors, field archery, and FITA. I will sell the XT though after hunting season is over and will get another hunting bow for next year. I will have to see what Darton and Mathews comes out with and compare them to decide what I want.
