Default RE: How would you rate your current hunting bow?

You won' t find me trying to sell my new bow as the one to have.
On paper it' s the bow half the treehunters want. Short ata-31.5, speed-323 ibo, moderate brace 7.25" . In reality it' s WAY to hard to pull, not just the #, the draw curve is full on from the second the release hit' s the loop until it breaks over. Very small valley. The word smooth draw is something I only remember from other bows I' ve owned in the past. Speed comes at a price[:' (]
The draw length is decieving and not very adjustable. Infinity- what a joke[]!!
Level nock travel- who needs it?? not bowtec.
The resale is terrible or I' d consider trading it in. For now, this is my bow.
In time I may come to love it, but for now I' m making due and can shoot it just fine. Last nights best 5 shot group at 28 yards= 2.25" . Good enough for me.

I rate my Bowtec Mighty(hard to pull)mite at a solid 6. Due to the fact they produced this bow with it' s current characteristics I will look at every other manufacturer out there before considering BT again. I don' t mean to ruffle any feathers, just draw it back and you' ll see what I' m talking about.
(maybe I' m being a little hard, it is only 5:00am while I' m writing this[&o])

Beman ics solid 8, they work great for me.

Rest WB quick shot deluxe- 7 does the job

Sights savages pendulum max tritium pin with 2nd pin- 7 , round sight housing is way smaller than peep diameter, black post of primary pin makes secondary pin hard to see, cost way too much. But it is SILENT!!

Broadhead- jury still out, but for now I plan on slicktricks (if they ever get here) for 20' up hunting, vortex mini3' s for low hunting and sidewinders for anything in between. And muzzy 100 3 blades if I just want to.

4 wheeler kawa prarie 400 4x4-8, 4200 miles and starts everytime and gets me there and back again.

Treestand api grand slam shooting star-8 very comfortable.
