oz I shot the new Z7 and I'll tell you that I've been in archery for 35 years and I can't think of a smoother bow that I've shot, this is one sweet shooting machine. I didn't like the draw cycle on the Monster and I really wasn't enjoying the thought of going to a twin cam bow. But that's just me. But if I was you I wouldn't dismiss the Z7 before I shot it. JMHO
