Roskoe;

Well you caught my eye with this post. I had a Pro Vantage, loved it. My dad had one too, and he loved his too. All my friends who shot all manner of target and 3D shoots etc. also had one. I think it's likely the most forgiving bow I ever shot, considering the accessories available at that time. I couldn't imagine that bow with a dropaway like the QAD or a Ripcord. Probably shoot itself with one of those. The only thing I'd watch out for is the limbs. My friend, myself, and my dad all went through a set of limbs. They tended to splinter near the large radius in the "S" curve of the limb. Usually starting as a hairline crack on the outer corner of the limb. As it turns out, it's likely my lower limb was cracked like that, the evening I shot a nice buck the second day of archery season. I wouldn't have drawn the bow if I had noticed the crack.
