Our local shop will not even stock the Blackmax. While talking to the owner he stated that it is very unforgiving bow to shoot. A small amount of torque and the arrow flies into the next county. When the owner of the store tries NOT to sell you one of the most expensive bows, that tells me to find another one. I think speed is important but shoot placement is the most important. My 2cents find a bow that is a little slower and more forgiving. Good luck
