Hey I haven't shot the monster. But worked at the IBO shoot in nelsonville last weekend and there was a guy that was at least 60 years old or more shooting an 80 pound monster xl8. Yes I said 80 pounds, he was shooting a 400 grain arrow and it went threw the graph at 361. He shot this bow in this shoot and he is a pro mind u but he ended up winning his class shooting a 425 out of 440. Thats only missing the 11 ring 15 times on targets out to 50 yards plus. Have to say I was impressed with his shooting. Not saying I am gonna run out and buy one now but man that was pretty cool.
