I went to the shop a couple weeks ago and shot the Reezen 6.5 and thought it hadmore hand shock, harsher draw cycle, and less of a valleythan my XT(66lb 29in draw). I'm looking for a newer bow but can't justify spending more money on a bow that I don't like as much as what I already have. If you like the bow and it feels good for you then buy it. Mathews is a great company and they will stand behind their product. Still haven't shot the Reezen 7.0, will have to try that one.
