i own an instict. here's a short, almost useless review of it that i've posted before.....


i know this isn't a super in depth review, but take it for what it's worth.
i've owned the instinct for 4 months now. i have had zero problems with it and have probably put about 800 arrows through it. i know that isn't a whole lot but i shoot as much as i can.
i have a tru-glo extreme sight, a quicktune 2000 rest, a carolina archery lore stabilizer, alpine 3 arrow quiver and alphashox instead of the regular limbsavers (big difference). i use a tru ball rackmaster release and gold tip xt hunter arrows.
i find this bow to be quiet, fast and accurate. it's not as quiet as the bowtech or mathews, but what do you expect for half the price? i honestly love it. i love this bow more and more every time i shoot it. i use words like "pocket rocket"(haha) and "firecracker" to describe it. at 60 yards i can consistently shoot 5" groups, with the groups shrinking as the distance drop. at 60 yards the arrows have some drop, but not much. i've never chronographed it...i know, what a sin.

all in all, i would rather be surprised by a $400 bow than just be satisfied with an $800 one.
