Yes I beleive so 100%...Just by luck I picked up a Martin Jaguar as my first bow...Shoots 300 fps and was very quiet...These things didnt mean much to me when I first got it cause I didnt know what the hell everyone was talking about, I thought a bow was a bow....I shot 1 buck and 2 doe's before I upgraded....On 1 of my doe's, I tokk a 43yd shot with a clean pass thru.....Bottom line, its a great first bow for the money
