I just today shot and purchased a marquis, ive owned and shot alot of bows in my life. I have to say im impressed!!!. i had just bought a new bear truth on the 18th of oct and it came apart in my hands at the bow shop at a shoot on sunday the 21st so when bear was contacted they wanted me and the bow shop i shoot 3d for to send the bow back and have me wait 2 weeks for a new one or repaired one!!!!!! yeah right so i am now shooting the marquis i have to say its the quietest bow i have ever shot. and smoking fast. have not gotten a speed test done yet but the vapor trail left from the first couple of arrows should of cleared by now. I will keep ya posted on how good this bow is or isnt.
