well, good feedback, the Q2 is a litle better than I thought. My impression was that the newer generation bows like the outback and switchback might be meaningfully improved over mine but it doesn't sound like it. Not a lot of folks have owned and shot each of the models which makes it hard to compare, but it sounds like mine is not necessarily inferior to newer models. Since i am happy with it, I'll keep it unless others weigh in to the contrary.
