my opinion?

I think its a good deal money-wise, wether its a good deal for someone personally is another question...


you can get a new vortex for what? around $440... I have a phoenix that I paid $365 new for and to be honest I see no reason to ever have to go with anything more powerful, in fact I think it would be a step backwards, so the bow itself wouldnt be a plus for me


the scope is what? $100 new, plus $20 for the mount... personally I dont really care for those type scopes and would probably end up swapping it out anyway, so the scope wouldnt be a plus for me either


the quiver wouldnt be a plus for me either,I dont run an "on bow" quiver and dont like them so that would get tossed...

wether the arrows are exceptable or not is a personal question,I'd rebuild them to suit me anyway so theres really nothing overly special there IMO, a negative on me using those broadheads too...

I dont use a rope cocker and I already have a case...


although it seems like a very good deal money-wise I look at that package and theres actually very little that appeals to methere,or that I'd see myself being happy with for long, personally I'd pass on it...



my point is that you have to sit down andhonestly ask yourself if that setup is REALLY what you want and what youd be happy with in the long run, saving a little money now isnt worthit IMO if you end up being unhappy with what you bought shortly after... swap out a few components from thatpackage that your unhappy withand the money savings is going todrop and even out fairly quick... and wishing a month after that you would have bought a less aggressive/powerful bow and built your own setup around it is going to kill that vortex deal altogether




keep in mind that all this is my OWN personal opinion, everyone is different, if that package is what you want and it appeals to you then by all means I think $525 -$550 isa great deal...




just a little different way of looking at it...
