Default RE: Bowtech choice..need input

Well I can tell you what i know about the Bowtech Extreme VFT as my wife and I both shoot them

upside - SERIOUS SPEED - mine 67# 30"draw = 307
wife 48# 29"draw = 297
both shooting 5grns/#

- smooth shooting - very little hand shock
- seem very accurate so far

- great back wall - they are very nice to hold at full
draw, you'll swear its more than 80%
letoff

downside - they have a rather stiff draw cycle,they feel
like a heavier draw than they actually are, but
as stated above are very nice at full draw

- neither my wife or I are particularly happy
with the grips, too skinny for my taste, and
she doesn't particularly care for the feel of
the wood

All in all if I had the decision to make over again I would still buy a VFT, the upsides outweigh the downsides. I also have a pro 40 dually coming in soon...will let you know how it performs.

Hope this helps,
Chris
