Since no one with experience with the Carbon express brand responded I went to Lancaster Archery Supply this morning. They are a well known shop and actually a couple of years ago they had a girl in the Olympics. Any way, I asked about the carbon express and the Barnett and which one they would recommend. The employee said the Carbon express Pildriver 390 hands down. He said they sold the last one in the shop yesterday but he could call their warehouse, (they ship bows all over the country) and have one in by noon tomorrow. He said he would have it assembled and ready to shoot. I am going tomorrow to get my hands on it and make a decision. Thanks for responding.
