i shot the monster at woods in water in tuscaloosa and at the deer show at the bjcc in birmingham. it was smoother than what i thought but i have to say there was some noticable hand vibration and the draw cycle could be a little smoother. If i had to pick a speed bow it would be the xforce dream season or xforce gx. the gx has a 10fps less ibo but its a much smoother bow than the monster. For me im sticking with my mathews drenaline. its smooth, fast, and quiet. the reezen is a little faster but its not more smooth or quiet than the drenaline. the alphamax 32 is very smooth and queit but the drenaline is just as fast so theres no reason why i should change bows this year. thats just my 2 cents.
