Default RE: Shot some bows this weekend! My feelings....

ORIGINAL: Lyncher68

Killzone: Im personally not really a pse fan, I did look at a few today and really didnt like them enough to shoot, they just didnt feel right!

UPDATE: Today myself and a buddy headed out to a different bowshop, specifically one that carrys Elites...I only shot the Z28, but i will likely shoot thegt500 too,but WOW!

I thought the alphamax was smooth! The z28 blew my mind! Though its slighty heavier than the am, its not by enough that I care, I think it probably matched or surpassed it in every aspect! The grips were both great, but the draw on the elite, man was it nice! After I shot it the first time I said to the tech, "Whats this set at 60? Or is it even lower?" (keep in mind this is after shooting a reezen, monster, and am32 in the past 10 minutes). When he said it was cranked all the way up and it was a 70lb bow, i literally made him put it on the draw scale...and i'll be damned it was 70 lbs! As far as the shot itself goes...if I didnt pull the release I wouldntve even known it happened! In all honesty it was probably the quietest bow ive heard, and i dont think there was even a hint of hand shock or vibration!! I didnt know much about the elites but it seemed fast, when i got home and looked up the ibo speed I was even more impressed! So as of right now, I think this is my top choice!

Now dont get me wrong, that alpha max is one hell of a bow! Ultimately, it the air raid isnt what I hope im going to set these bows up completely and shoot them side by side and make my choice...but that z28 really did exceed every expectation I had!!! Additionally at this particular shot, the z28 and the am32 were both marked at $799! Im not sure what the going rate is on those elites, but an identical am32 at another shop close by was $760...either way I want the stupid air raid to come out, because the money is burning a hole through my pocket and it was EXTREMELY difficult not to leave with that elite today!
I own a Alphamax and think it'sa pretty good bow. I shot a 08.5 Z28 for the first time last Friday. Bought it on the spot. Awesome bow. First impression is that I like it better than the AM. There's a guy on AT selling them brand new for a good price.
