Ihave been hunting with a 12 year old setup and I will tell you what .... after shooting all the new bows this year, I would have been extatic with any and all off them! I had a tremendous Christmas, and my options were wide open. I did not have any loyalty to any company. I just shot all the top of the line and some middle of the line bows. I went with the Drenalin because ...... um ...... I liked it the best .... for me. I can tell you that I would have been just as confident with a Hoyt, Bear, Ross, Bowtech .... etc. I can't wait till my present comes in!!!
