Goherd, what surprises me most is the Black Ice was only10 fps or so slower... I haven't chrono'd mine yet (that'll be one of my new toys I buy myself in '07 ), but it just seemed to be more of a difference than that to me.

You're right about that grip; it's awesome. The flat back is surely going to allow for a more consistent hand placement... I'd have my '07 Ally already if I didn't have the habit of special-ordering them in custom colors I'm REALLY looking forward to putting that bow through its paces...
