yjbates,
I' m mostly a Merlin and Bowman man but I have a PSE Mach 8 that I still hunt with.
Nothing wrong with PSE. They have a great warranty and service.
You might want to get some feedback at the PSE Message Boards also.
Not trying to run you off from the Bowtech Forum though.
Hey, the Bowtech' s aren' t too bad either.
