Yes the weight was very nice. I like weight on the bow for target shooting, but that weight is easier added than removed. To me it seemed like so many were bummed when Hoyt released its 09 lineup, far before the bowswere out. TheAM is definately worth shooting. I think the AM is going to put Hoyt back on top this year once more people shoot the AM series. Im not saying its the best bow by any means, but i do believe it is right there and is definately a contender overall now. TheCaptain felt amazing as well,andthe center pivot bows'dead in the hand feel is unparalelled by any other bow company IMO. Now the only thing Hoyt needs to do is build a good string like bowtech does
