Jason-
Seeing as the Legacy and Icon have only been on the market less than a year, I cannot readily see many people pounding "many thousands of shots" out of those bows as yet. Not enough of them anyway to really check the potential trouble that MAY be there. As stated, you guys believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want, it's a free country!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> I gave you my thoughts, and no, I don't feel any further need to expand on this and get a true flame-fest going here so this will be my last post on this subject. I prefer the MQ1 and Q2 over the Legacy, and the Q2XL or Conquest2 over the Icon. My opinion, and we'll leave it at that. I have nothing against Mathews bows as stated above. My son shoots an MQ1 currently also for hunting. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
