Well I took the plunge. I bought the 82nd last night. It's a 60# set at 27.5" draw. I added a G5 3 pin sight, Octane 1 piece quiver, Octane Capture Pro rest and Limbsaver stabilizer. Bought a dozen Terminator Hunter arrows w/ Blazer vanes also. I go back today to finish setting it up, we ran out of time last night. I'm curious to see what speed it's shooting over the chrony. I'm hoping for 285-290fps but my short draw length is gonna hold me back. I'm going to order the MeanV string stop as you all suggested. Even the guy at the pro shop said how much better it will be over the 2008 version. Thanks for all feedback! As a side note, this is strictly a hunting bow which is why I went with the rest I did. I've hunted a long time with a standard drop away and always thought how nice it would be to use a rest that I didn't have to hold the arrow in place while having the bow sitting across my lap.
