Just out of curiousity...what do you think would happen if I were to order a Hypertec and would proceed to take the draw stop out of it? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

It would still be slower than a BT MM!

If you were serious,I don't think you would have a problem anyways. My HavocTec is meant to shoot w/out a stop if you want the 75%+ option. I've shot it that way for grins. I can't imagine that the new Hypertec would be a very shootable bow however, w/ it's lower brace, and 3&quot; shorter axle to axle. The old one shot pretty well for a speedbow, but that's because it really wasn't that fast compared to the competition. Now they have made it faster by dropping the brace and are de-stabilizing the bow further with a shorter 33&quot; AtoA. For someone w/ a 29&quot;+ draw, that's pushing the envelope too far IMO.

I'm serious about the Stalker too. It really does shoot fast and nice for what it is. I've shot my dealer's as I spoke about, and it's a neat little bow. Somwhere along the lines of the original Havoc in noise and recoil w/ better speed.

Have you also looked at the Parker offerings? I believe the UL31 might come in a 31 draw, and I know that the 35 does. If there weren't so many BT models I want right now (I can't remember the last time when I wanted at least 4 bows from one manufacturers line at the same time), I'd be grabbing an UL35 or 38. Granted they are not quite as fast as a BT or have the &quot;as solid&quot; wall, but they do shoot very well,are very quiet and of solid construction.
