The bow your getting bogobble is exactly like my bro' s. Its one of the sweetest shooting bows you will shoot. I can' t believe that Mathews Discontinued this model. I havent shot and other Of the Mathews except the SQ2,FX, and Feathermax. I like the MQ1 by far. I guess that could be why he is keeping it instead of selling it. He likes it quiet a bit to. As long as you arent in it for speed you will love it. Its a shooter! Absolutely shock-free.
