Yeah, he just didn't want to sell you one, either because he didn't have any or wouldn't make enough money on it. While it's true the new ones are better, and IMO the Vectrix is better than the Trykon, those Vipertec's are darn good shooting bows, nothing wrong with them at all. Oh, and as a sidenote.....The Vectrix is only 33" ATA.
There is little to no vibration or shock in the ViperTec, and I can't see how the short ATA would matter in that arena anyway.....My Vectrix is still as can be. The new Fuse strings are good, better than last year, but they aren't as good as Winner's Choice.
