Yes, I have an old PSE Carrol Intruder that I still hunt with on occasion. Absolutely love that old bow. Killed two of my biggest bucks with that thing. Like you said, it's heavier than a sack of taters but also very forgiving. I've had that bow for so long that I believe I'm on the thirds set of limbs on that thing. Killed quite a few deer with that thing and will never part with it.
