I shot this bow yesterday. A buddy of mine just bought it and we were shooting a 3-D range and I wanted to see what all of the hype was about. Well after 6 shots I gave him his bow back and grabbed up my Mathews Legacy. I have personally never shot a bow with so much kick and hand shock. The bow felt like it was going to jump out of my habd every time that I touched off the trigger on my release. Why anybody would spend $700.00 on this bow is beyond me.
