I ordered and shot a blackhawk, my main opinion was -very light. A light, small package. The string was definately further away from my face than the 2002 mighty-mite I ended up buying (which will put your peep further out if you use one). The rubber grip on the blackhawk didn' t feel as good to me as the (loose, I still need to silicone it in place) wooden grip on the mighty mite.

The birth cirtificate posted the speed of the bow with the hush kit installed, but this was a different (WAY lower) number than what you see on the web-site. The IBO rating is just that (if I' m not mistaking) 70# 30" draw, 350 grain arrow.

Here' s my advice. Shoot both the bows your considering and then vote considering 1- which feels better, and 2- which has the better, more helpful dealer.
Don' t shoot either through the chrony when making your decision. The speed difference will be very little in the end and just might sway you the wrong way in the begining. Shoot the same weight arrow while your at it, so you can compare apples to apples.
