Doubtful your love affair will last long if you shoot it much. I had an Intensity - had many, many problems and send it back several times. Joe nailed it on the head, the design causes friction and stresses that will eventually cause the bow to fail. Hence, why the company is no longer around. Mine failed at the hinge limb connection/area. The limbs kept going out of alignment and finally broke while I was shooting after sending it for repair the 3rd time. Take my advice, send it to Monstor Bows and have them re-work it before you shoot it much and you then will have a dependable bow that really is "priceless" and that you love for a long time. The guys you refer to that are buying up all the Firebrand bows they can find are doing it for that reason, not because they are good stand alone bows.
