I have an 04 Liberty that i purchased as a left over in 05 and i absolutely love this bow. I too am always looking at other bows but when i shoot my Liberty the ideal of buying a different bow just goes away. I agree it would be nice if it hada little more speedbut it's plenty fast for hunting. The Liberty iswhisper quiet with no hand shock or vibration and has the smoothest draw cycle i've ever pulled and my bad shoulders would agree with that as well. I couldn't be happier with it's performance since buying it and i've never had not one problem with it and i've also harvested 6 deer with it to date. I'll be buying another bow in the near future because my son wants this one andwhen i do it's going to be an 05 Liberty if i can find one.
