RE: was i right to choose to alpine????????????
I owned an Alpine about 3 years ago. I don' t remember the name of it, but it was 43" axle to axle and had mild cams. It was the most quiet bow I' d ever shot. Not to mention the prettiest bow I ever saw (that' s tough to say about a camo bow). It wasn' t a speed demon. I was shooting fingers and 31" 2514 arrows at around 230 fps. And I never put a string silencer on it. It was that quiet. I wound up letting my nephew borrow it for hunting season since he went to a pawn shop and bought an old worn out Browning. I never saw it again.
If you' re happy with it, just shoot the tar out of it.
