I had to add a touch under 1/2" of draw when I went from the BK 3D to the Ember because the head is shorter. I really like the way the Ember hooks up so quickly and easily though. I just got everything retuned and set up for it and so far I'm liking it. I am a little concerned about shooting it with a glove on since I can't get quite the grip on it that I can the BK 3D and come mtn. goat season in Nov. shooting it w/o gloves is not an option... We'll see how it does for bear in a couple weeks.

I agree with 98Redline that the sound of the release is not an issue but another benefit of the Ember is that it can be left cocked before you engage the string. With some of the other models there is always a little click as you cock them once the string is engaged.
