RE: Did I buy a complete piece of crap?
One thing that's kind of odd about bows: there are some that have really sweet draw cycles but, for some reason, only group mediocre. And there are others that don't feel like anything special to shoot but nonetheless produce good groups. For me, the two came together in the Hoyt Vectrix XL. My buddy shot it the other day, however,and its just another bow to him.
