I got a chance to shoot the new Ovation this afternoon at my local pro shop. I must say that I am totaly impressed with this bow. There is virtually no hand shock with this bow. I have a 32" draw and the bow pulled 74lbs., very smooth draw and I didn't think that the bow pulled 74lbs. Felt like low 60s. I have a 2001 Matthews Conquest II and a 2003 Hoyt protec with spiral cams, to me the new Matthews is smoother than both (expected of Spiral cam Hoyt) and I was realy amazed at the lack of shock when I shot the bow. I am hoping to try a Bowtech Pro 40 with freedom cam at Harrisburg this week and compare the two. As of now the dealer has the Ovation set aside for me until I get back. Beleive me the bow was this smooth.
