I saw ted nugent shoot one of these bows on the super group reality show that aired recently on MTV and it didnt sound loud but that was on tv so I would have to shoot one to find out weather or not I liked it,having said that I have shotswitchback,supertech,slayer,mach-X,ar, and alot of the big name bows on the market today and Icant say I have ever shot a bow that compares to my bowtech old glory(05) after I put the sts,limbsaver xtremes,ultras, and whatever else I have on the thing-no hand shock,fast(300 fps with 400 gr @ 29 1/2)and unbelivable accuracy at 100 yards+....(ps to get that speed I take everything off the string but the peep,sts takes care of quiet) this is my humble opinion.But the bow looks pretty cool if you ask me and I`m sure the nuge will kill a doe or two with it...haha
