Default RE: Champion bows, opinions??

I find the Champion Mustang, the Hurricane or the Spitfire all to be quite similar bows, (hunting set-up). For targets, 3D, The Contender or Wildcat. However they are the newer 2003' s, same models which comes with a smaller 2.9" idler wheel and the Tracker II cam (more radical) and I find this set up to be less forgiving. Faster, less vibration out of the box...but a little more time practising to get your set-up and yourself tuned.
The Older model Mustang with the 3-1/2" idler wheel and the laser cam is quite a forgiving bow, but needs some accessories, ( I' m using the limb savers), as there is some recoil, (hand shock), vibration, if shot in the basis stock set-up.
Not as fast--as their new modles, but still gets the job done. A pretty quiet bow, reasonably priced, but like any bow the cost will add up when adding accessories (e.g. custom string & cable) to enhance the performance.
My choice for the ' relaxed' hunting set up....no stress or fears of ' not' being able to draw at the ' moment of truth' is the older Mustang set @ 55 #' s, 27 " Gold Tip 3355 carbons, 100g expandables or mechanicals (either works well with this bow) in total weighting about 360 grains, developing about 242 fps with a kinetic of about 44 ft lb.
