Thinking about the weight issue; the Drenaline was fully equipped with a stabalizer, sights, and a WB. The Vectrix only had a WB on it. No wonder I noticed no weight difference. They are both great bows. Handshock is more than expected from me though with the Mathews; that is my only negative report. All in all; some great offerings for the archery world this year. The technology just keeps getting better.
