I have shot it... i hope u like a heavy bow.. but other wise its a nice bow... I'm looking into getting the pearson z-32... shoots just as good as the hoyt vextrix and better than the switchback.. for about $150-200 less. the reason pearson is less in price (advice from a archery pro) is because hoyt and these big name companies put lets say $4 million into advertising and pearson puts in $400,000. and hoyt pays more to the big name shooters thats why they have so many championships and such... so therefore they can afford to jack up the price of a bow... i'm not trying to take anything away from hoyt or any other company... the fact is most of these new bows are gonna get u what u want eps. for hunting you dont need top of a line bows for hunting... trust me shoot a pearson z-32 or z-34 sweeettttt!!
