I had shot them for about 15 years I guess and went to a more conventional type bow back in 97 (High Country 4-Runner) and finally two years ago went with Hoyt. I found them to be a very smooth drawing bow and extremly easy to work on. Main problem for me was the total lenth of the darn thing and all the comments about how strange it looked. I missed a couple deer that were just out about 5 yards or so from the base of my tree as the bottom limb hit my leg upon release of the arrow. The second one was a dandy buck so that bow became expendable for me and I have never been sorry I made the switch. I do think they have come up with something shorter now but I would never own another after shooting the Hoyts.
