Awesome bow for the money........I have one and will hunt with it this year. It is as smooth as my old Switchback XT, it is as quiet as the XT, and it is as hand shock free as my XT was. The fit and finish isn't quite as nice as some of the $700+ bows but if you haveit upgraded to the thermal elite (leather+wood side plates) the grip is quite nice. Add in the fact that they used a laminated limb that is much higher quality than a LOT of the high end bows and you really have a smoking deal.

I honestly think this bow is the best value out there for the average hunter. I can't wait to get mine bloody.
