I've never shot it but I'd say it would be a good one. I cant see why he would put down your PSE Nova, I was always told that was the number one selling bow in America. I love PSE and have shot 3 PSE's now, I love every one of them and honestly I cant see PSE having a bad bow. So yes Id say the Marauder would be a good now in my opinion. Just as long as you shoot it and YOU like it.
