I did shoot a Firecat and that was pretty impressive. Oh so many choices,only time will tell.
Yup I remember the Challengers . I had one of the wheel bows (the 3D or whatever it was called) and one of the ultra-somethings..briefly. I was big into HCA at the time, and the Mountaineers just were not fast enough for me....hey!! sounds like nearly 20 years later I'm still struggling with the "not fast enough" thing
Those Carnivores are some sick shooting bows. SUPA-smooth shooting...I really like that bow- barring the grip, which is too square feeling for me. Its no speed demon, but just a pleasant to shoot, smooth drawing hunting bow. Firecat is really nice too, though not nearly in the same class as the Carnivore for "smooth draw". But the cat has about 15-20 FPS on the Ross. I'd reccomend the Alien X if you like the firecat-it's quicker, quieter, has smoother transitions in the draw force curve, balances better, AND has laminated limbs without being all that much more expensive than the firecat. Both the Ross and the Alien are great $ values, IMO.
