You are right, the Cheetah is a great bow. I have the '09 model and I love it. But I would not describe it as cheap. I know what you meant. But inexpensive would be a better choice of words. And it does give you a lot of value for the $ as opposed to some other bow manufacturers. I you think the Cheetah is cool, You should try the '10 Firecat. Mine is awesome. With the Cat 2 cams it is blistering fast, accurate, and quiet. When its time to go hunting, I have a hard time deciding what to take.
