You can' t go wrong with the Black Knight II, IMO. I have had mine for a year and love it. I would not be too concerned about the forgiveness of this bow. I went from 42 inch ATA and fingers shooting about 218 fps to the BK II and a release and am more accurate with the new bow. The release would account for a lot of that but believe me, forgiveness is not an issue with this bow. The only problem you have is not being able to see the arrows in flight []. What a problem to have.
