edge all the way. i bought one for my gf about a month ago. its super quiet, and very versatile/flexible. the hand shock isvery low. and if you get a newer model which im sure u will it comes with the hostage rest by octane. comes with everything you need to shoot besides arrows and a release. we paid 360 for everything. seems like a great bow so far. weve shot together several times and she seems very comfortable with it already. i wish my first bow was that good.jmo
