It sure was! I have been let down in the past buying bows that claim they can shoot a certain speed and don't come close, (Bowtech & Mathews). This is the first performance bow that is smooth, quiet, and forgiving. I had a hoyt smoke with a 5 1/4" brace height the would bite me on the wrist and magnify any mistakes in my form. The vulcan is pretty darn forgiving. You will be pleased with it.
