My buddy came to pick his up yesterday, but in the middle of making him a string for it, reserving another string for him, etc. I forgot to shoot it!
He and another friend that came with him did agree on one thing though--a 12 strand padded loop Dynaflight '97 string was noticeably quieter than the 14 strand non-padded loop that came with the bow.
Other than that, he said it shot great--he was very happy with it. It shot well with the "factory" string, just noisier.
