You are welcome bogobble. Really, it is the combination of long brace height, long axle to axle length and the deflex riser that makes the bow very forgiving. Take away one of the above and the bow becomes a slightly different animal. Take away two of the above and most of the forgiveness just goes out the window IMO. As previously stated, the cyclone deflex is no speed burner so if you are into the latest things that go fast it's not the bow for you, however if you want a bow thats gonna stack arrows even on days when you are not quite up to snuff this one may be the ticket for you. Good luck with your quest. Let me know what you end up with. Jim
