I absolutly love my bow! It is the '06 model, and I don't think I could have made a better choice. Sure there are better bows out there but for the money I got a bow that is capable of shooting over 300fps, is light weight, very smooth shooting and with a few dampners and a stabilizer is very quiet! I am not a salesman either if your thinkin that, but I wanted a bow that would also last me a couple years and make a great back-up when I decide to go a little nicer. The only things that I added to my bow was a Carolina Archery wisker Buiscut, stabilizer, dampners, oh and a detachable quiver. I think the total price with the bow and accessories came to just over $450.00, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
