Pup,I know that feeling,you love your bow,but ya got to check out the new stuff.This past week,I looked at the Liberty,Patriot(both single and D-C),Pro 40,Hoyt X-Tec,Razortec,and a couple of Dartons.None of them would make me give up my LX.The only one I might take another look at is the Pro 40,but only after I look at the Ovation.Thats my story and I'm sticking to it,or at least until I get back from the Eastern Outdoor show in Harrisburg,PA that starts on Feb. 7...Bob
